Despite the W.H.O proclamation, Chinese lab Is likely source of COVID-19

Peter Ben Emerek of the World Health Organization (WHO) proclaims it “extremely unlikely” that the coronavirus causing COVID-19 leaked from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). According to the WHO, the issue warrants no further study. 

But evidence is emerging that the Wuhan lab deliberately engineered the virus. The story begins in Canada. 

This month Canada removed Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, a virologist from Tianjin, China, and her husband, Keding Cheng, from the nation’s Public Health Agency because, as Karen Pauls of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported on February 6, the pair had previously been removed from Canada’s National Microbiology Lab (NML) over a possible “policy breach.”  

According to the CBC report, in 2017-18 Qiu made at least five trips to China, including one to train scientists at the WIV, “which does research with the most deadly pathogens.” In her June 14, 2020, report, Pauls listed the viruses Qiu exported from the Canadian lab to China: Ebola Makona (three different varieties), Mayinga, Kikwit, Ivory Coast, Bundibugyo, Sudan Boniface, Sudan Gulu, MA-Ebov, GP-Ebov, GP-Sudan, Hendra, Nipah Malaysia, and Nipah Bangladesh. 

The case caught the attention of Canada’s National Post, which headlined an August 2, 2019, report “Canadian lab immersed in RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] probe sent Ebola and another deadly virus to China.” As author Tom Blackwell noted, of the viruses Qiu sent to the WIV, Nipah attracted the most attention. 

Nipah, Blackwell wrote, was transmitted from animals to people and was “also able to jump between humans -- it can cause acute breathing problems and encephalitis, potentially fatal brain inflammation.” In cases in Bangladesh and India, death rates ranged between 50 and 100 percent. Blackwell cited a 2018 NML paper stating that Nipah’s “threat to cause a widespread outbreak

Change “likely” to “near certainly” and the headline would be closer to accurate.

I agree. It is "extremely unlikely" that it merely "leaked" as opposed to being intentionally released to infect the world.

A BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide
