Scientist claims ‘smoking gun’ evidence COVID-19 intentionally created by researchers in Chinese lab

COVID-19 may have been created in a Chinese lab, a British professor told the UN Wednesday, with another expert claiming that evidence of the likelihood has reached “the level of a smoking gun.”

Richard H. Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University, was quoted saying in a new Wall Street Journal article that the virus that killed millions around the world may actually have been manmade in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.

He cited evidence found in a 2018 document from the lab that talked of making such a virus.

“[The document] elevates the evidence provided by the genome sequence from the level of noteworthy to the level of a smoking gun,” Ebright said in the piece by former New York Times editor Nicholas Wade.

The papers from the lab cited by Ebright contained drafts and notes regarding a grant proposal called Project DEFUSE, which sought to test engineering bat coronaviruses in a way that would make them more easily transmissible to humans.

The proposal was ultimately rejected and denied funding by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, but Wade suggested that their work could have been carried out by researchers in Wuhan who had secured Chinese government funding.

“Viruses made according to the DEFUSE protocol could have been available by the time Covid-19 broke out, sometime between August and November 2019,” wrote Wade, a former science editor of the New York Times.

“This would account for the otherwise unexplained timing of the pandemic along with its place of origin.”

Along with the research notes, Wade claimed the specific genetic structure of the coronavirus that allowed it to infect humans served as another strong indication of “the virus’s laboratory birth.”

“Whereas most viruses require repeated tries to switch from an animal host to people, SARS-CoV-2 infected humans out of

“... may have been created “

“May have been”? Every honest observer who’s put any sort time into researching this topic and has a functional brain has known damned well for 2+ years that the virus came from the Wuhan lab

It may end up similar to the Great Vote Steal of 2020.
No amount of “proof” will ever be enough to punish the truly guilty ones.

I read that they saw evidence in the DNA where cleaved sections of the CRISPR modified DNA could be seen involving the spike protein. They were modifying the spike protein so it would more efficiently attach to the human ACE2 receptor.

The Red Chi Coms and Democrats conspired to unleash a bio attack on Trump’s reelection. The timing was just too perfect. They killed millions to get rid of one man. The crimes are too huge for the masses to believe.

It still goes back to Tony Fauci and Peter Davik here in the US and probably at the behest of the defense dept.

The only thing the US govt and China can seem to agree on is this definitely was not created and released in the city where they create such things 😂

Bull crap.

The China angle is the “limited hangout”.
