A State Department-supported "disinformation" tracking group pressured advertisers to punish websites promoting the COVID-19 "lab leak" theory, which a federal agency now says is the most likely origin of the virus, the Washington Examiner reported.

The Global Disinformation Index (GDI), which was focused on creating blacklists of conservative news outlets for advertising companies, applied pressure to those companies to cut ties with websites boosting the once alleged "conspiracy" that COVID-19 emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China.

The fact this emerged just a few miles from a bio weapons lab doing gain of function research on coronaviruses made this pretty obvious from the very start.

Last year’s conspiracy theories are today’s facts and by tomorrow will be “old news” that the press doesn’t talk about any more.

We’ll probably never know all the sordid details about this whole shitty mess but one think I’ll always believe.......Trump was always concerned about our health and welfare when he was POTUS during covid........after he left it ceased about that.

What was the name, the official name, of the lab in Wuhan province that this article mentions ?
It was spelled out in English, btw, and displayed prominently on the outside wall.

The Communist Chinese are pretty smart, they've probably figured a way to get their boy Biden to fund it with US Taxpayer money, while the Communist Chinese give the orders.

Ok, but it feels like the hand of China is in there somewhere.

Little difference when it comes to some of the people who are probably in the state department.

What state does the State Department work for?

Certainly not the USA.

(The English name was) ... displayed prominently on the outside wall.

This larger view is of three of the five larger buildings of the Wuhan complex

This front view of the fifth building that is immediately in front of the red building in the right lower corner of the first image.

There is the name in question.

There is a fourth building, to the left (also red in color) visible here.

You can scroll to the right under the last image for a larger, more complete, view of the complex.

Use the bar at the bottom of the page.
