China Floats U.S. Military Lab as Possible COVID Origin Point, Urges WHO to Investigate
National Review ^ | March 31, 2021 | Brittany Bernstein

China on Wednesday urged the World Health Organization to investigate whether COVID-19 first originated in a U.S. military laboratory after the agency’s director called for a deeper probe into whether the virus had escaped from a Chinese lab.

A WHO-led team that visited China earlier this year to investigate the coronavirus pandemic’s origins said in a report on Tuesday that it was “extremely unlikely” that the virus had leaked from a Chinese laboratory and recommended no further exploration of that theory.

However, just before the report’s release, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the team’s probe into the potential lab leak was not sufficient and that further investigation was needed. He said he was prepared to send more specialists to explore that possibility, according to the Wall Street Journal.

On Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying responded to a question about Tedros’ comments by touting the team’s “important conclusion” that the lab leak theory was unlikely.

“They have basically excluded the possibility of a lab incident” in Wuhan, she said.

She also called on the agency to investigate early outbreaks in other countries and encouraged the WHO to investigate a U.S. military laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md.

“As you know relevant study is already done in Wuhan labs, but when will Fort Detrick be open to those experts?” she asked. “If necessary, we hope the U.S. can be as open and candid as China.”

I find myself in partial agreement with the China position on this issue. China certainly was involved in the escape (or release) of this virus into the world, however, that is not to say it actually originated in Wuhan.

In fact, there is significant evidence (previously discussed in Free Republic) that the the earliest origins were actually in the US.

The Case Is Building That COVID-19 Had a Lab Origin

"She also called on the agency to investigate early outbreaks in other countries and encouraged the WHO to investigate a U.S. military laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md."

Rumors about the extent of bio warfare experiments at Fort Detrick, MD have been around for a very long time. One episode of the X-Files playfully invented the fictitious, "Fort Marlena, MD." They also had a fictitious analog for Nellis AFB they anagramed into "Ellins AFB."

Now that Biden is President, China can get away with that kind of disinformation blaming the US. When they tried to do it with Trump and blame the US military there for the origination of covid, he threatened more sanctions on their economy and they backed off leaving only the NY Times to promote their false storyline.

China needs an arsewhoopin’ but we are not going to be the one’s to do it given the penchant of the Left to always defund the military, military programs, and now with them trying to turn the military into a social justice nightmare.

Once upon a time we had a President whose face wasn't Xi's toilet paper.

Now, we just have a Resident, and when Xi farts, puppetboy's ears wiggle.

Gain of function activities were banned in the US around 2014 I think as being too dangerous from what I understand. I also believe the our illustrious Nazi Fauci was doing such work with Wuhan by way of his private organization. I wonder if this story is somehow related to this comment by the reds.

It seems pretty clear that the main release happened in China, but like everything else they make, they very likely got the technology from
someone else...

In this case, Fauci’s Gain of Function COVID research efforts that he
certainly wasn’t going to simply tolerate being shut down by the US,

Actually wouldn’t surprise me at all. The democrats tried to get rid of Trump so many other ways. The Covid did the trick.
