The Chinese Communist Party hasn’t let scientists from around the world into the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is being probed by American officials as a possible source of the CCP virus, according to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
“We know that they’ve not permitted the world’s scientists to go into that laboratory to evaluate what took place there, what’s happening there, what’s happening there even as we speak,” Pompeo said during an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt.
“We still have not had Western access to that facility so that we can properly evaluate what really has taken off all across the world and how that began.”
American authorities said in January and February that they offered to send public health teams to China to help respond to the outbreak and analyze aspects of the virus, including its transmissibility, but were rebuffed each time. China eventually allowed a World Health Organization team into the country. Two American scientists were part of the team. A report issued jointly by China and the team repeatedly praised the Chinese response.
The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, a novel coronavirus, emerged in mainland China last year before spreading around the world, becoming a pandemic. The virus causes COVID-19, a disease that kills a small percentage of patients, especially among the infirm.
Chinese officials early in the outbreak looked into whether the outbreak originated at the Wuhan lab, The Epoch Times found.
“We don’t know the answer to the question about the precise origination point,” Pompeo told Hewitt. “But we do know this: We know that the first sightings of this occurred within miles of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. We know that this, the history of the facility, first VSL-4 lab where there’s high-end virus research being conducted took place at that site.”
Top American officials in recent days confirmed for the first time that the United States is looking into whether the CCP virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Asked about the theory, President Donald Trump told reporters Friday: “We’re looking at it.”
China Should Have Millions of CCP Virus Cases Instead of Tens of Thousands, Report Says
“A lot of people are looking at it. It seems to make sense,” the president said during the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing at the White House. “There is a lot of investigation going on and we’re going to find out.”
Chinese officials worked to cover-up the true nature of the virus for months, according to internal documents obtained by The Epoch Times. The World Health Organization, which is closely aligned with China, has drawn increasing criticism from American officials for repeatedly promoting statements from China and ignoring warnings from Taiwan. Trump this week said U.S. funding for the United Nations group was being put on hold, pending an investigation into what happened.
“All I can say is wherever it came from—it came from China, in whatever form—184 countries are suffering because of it. And it’s too bad, isn’t it? It could have been solved very easily when it was just starting,” the president said on Friday.
Well yeah you couldn’t pay me enough to get me in there.

Are the Rat rags reporting on this?
So the US has funded this lab and the ChiComs won’t let anyone in the labs...screw those SOB’s. We need to impose a Wuhan Virus tax on any goods or services provided by China until they repay for the damage to the US economy and US CITIZENS finances and a tax on goods and services coming from any country who is doing business with China....cripple their economy!
100% Tariffs on China until the >$5 Trillion in damage has been paid.
Ditto that!
Stop all payments to China until they do . . . no strings attached.
Someone should ask bill gates why he’s funding these chink pukes?
They will let ppl in when it’s totally refurbished and resembles Nancy Pelosi’s kitchen.
Excellent suggestion.
Wuhan Virus damage tax on any goods or services provided by China until they repay for the damages to the US economy and US CITIZENS finances and a tax on goods and services coming from any country who is doing business with China....cripple their economy!
First, seize their liquid assets in our country and then put liens on their properties in America like their pork raising industry, slaughter of pigs/hogs and end products like Smithfield products.
Then, seize/freeze their titles/cash on the massive land/improvements they own in America. Turn our lawyers loose with a 20% finders fee on any hidden cash asset in America.
If the Wuhan lab was not the source of this plague China would welcome all to come in and exam the lab and their records. Most of those records are electronic and now deleted. The paper records that scientists keep before converting them to electronic records have been burned. The few scientist researchers that spoke out a few months past have been disappeared. Hopefully they are in jail. I suspect they are dead via lead poisoning. They can never be allowed to speak thus I really think they are dead.
The Chinese government knew what this was. They isolated Wuhan from the rest of China. They did not stop international flights in an out of Wuhan and knew full well it would spread this disease world wide. They knew they were going to take an economic hit due to the disease. They decided to give the same hit to the rest of the world.
This was an act of war. THEY MUST PAY! We can bomb them and they can bomb us. This is a lose lose scenario. We can tell them all the money we have borrowed from them is null and void. We can bring our manufacturing back home.
Europe must do the same and China would then collapse economically.
And if the Chinese cash in on the US treasuries?
Do ‘t pay them.
“And if the Chinese cash in on the US treasuries?”
Other nations aside from China also hold these treasuries. Those nations should be assured of payment. China should be assured of payment less the cost of their disease they unleashed on the world. They will be in deficit F them.
“And if the Chinese cash in on the US treasuries?”
Repudiate it. Let them eat the paper.

We can expel ALL Chinese students, researchers, reporters, Consulate staff and businessmen from the country, cut off all funding for their education, research, business licenscing, seize “patents”, etc.
Also investigate all US politicians who work for Red Chinese as lobbyists, business consultants, etc. Cancel their passports on national security grounds. Cancel financial transaction methods between the US and Red China.
And just for shits and grins, give the Republic of China, Taiwan, about 50 nuclear weapons, enough to destroy the eastern half of Red China if they are attacked. Good-by Peking, Shanghai, Yunnan Province (the opium/heroin capital of Red China), and all of the other major cities that are within a thousand miles of the China Sea/Sea of Japan.
Ah hell, take out Hainan Island as payback for their shooting down American aircraft during the Vietnam War, including killing those who survived (Lt. Dunn, for one - Maureen (d)- I owe you this one. I remember your pain).
According to some recent data 10% of tested Italians has antibodies to Covid-19. If the hypotesys of getting an immunity after survival the infection is true it means 10% of the Italians already survived the infection, most without knowing it.
Nuke the little yellow dog-eating bastard$ till they glow in the dark so they are easier to spot with a sniper scope.

Which has what kind of relevance to this article, which demostrates the continued Totalitarian Communist Chinese coverup?
Attempting to change the topic doesn’t help you hide Xi’s continued malfeasance. If only Xi opens up the lab, perhaps the world can help understand the cause, and come up with a solution.
Do you agree Xi is wrong in maintaining secrecy about exactly how China started the CCP Virus?
The CCP and Xi are totally losing control of the narrative. Quick! Change the subject!
