One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

NIH Records Reveal FBI Inquiry of Wuhan Grant

Judicial Watch announced today that it received 1651 pages of records from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) revealing an FBI “inquiry” into the NIH’s controversial bat coronavirus grant tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The records also show National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) officials were concerned about “gain-of-function” research in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2016. The Fauci agency was also concerned about EcoHealth Alliance’s lack of compliance with reporting rules and use of gain-of-function research in the NIH-funded research involving bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China.

It doesn’t feel like much of a story anymore. I get the sense that governments, media and academia have quietly accepted that Covid-19 was a lab leak, and they’re going to let that messy little factoid fade into the background undisturbed and unaddressed, as though nothing about it was extraordinary.

And after a time, we’ll be told by experts that test tube pandemics are just a small price to pay so that governments can keep us Safe® from the more deadly natural pandemics, and that only dangerous extremists and science deniers would even raise the question of accountability.

  1. Fauci: “Senator Paul, you do not know what you’re talking about, quite frankly, and I want to say that officially.”
    In a perfect world Fauci would be doing time right now. The fact that he lies with such ease is what really gets me. A straight up narcissist.

    That said – it looks like they’re gearing up for another variant in late summer early fall. Masks, lockdowns and people’s lives ruined.
    Oh joy.

  2. Regardless of it being a lab leak or intentional (there are substantive arguments for both)…the real takeaway is what those in power learned. A pandemic can be a political tool. More than that, it can be an ideological tool. It can shape elections. It can circumvent Constitutions and Laws. It removes government structure and allows universal dictates. That’s not something they will overlook, forget or ignore.

    Suppose, for example, someone in such a position wanted us to switch to vegan and away from red meat (insert your Leftist reason here _______________). Well then, you release a pandemic that jumps species and focusses on herd animals. Suppose your countries finances are floundering and the elderly are taking up a significant portion of your resources. It is not beyond some cultures to release a virus that will remove a significant portion of that burden (oh wait, maybe they already did).

    My point is that the general populace may choose to forget. But, those that recognize the advantages that are attached to such pandemics won’t. To them, it is another arrow in the quiver.

  3. May as well acknowledge that the “leaked” Covid 19 virus was made in Ralph Baric’s lab in Chapel Hill, North Carolina by Rui Sheng Li, the Chinese Bat Lady, doing nasty “gain of function” work. The particular DNA insert in the parent bat virus that led to nasty human pathogenity is obvious as the nose on your face. The now human pathogen was shipped to Wuhan. which was in the process of “transitioning” from biohazard level 2 to biohazard level 4 in 2019. The “leak” was certainly not intentional, but Wuhan was clearly not the place to receive, or to contain such a pathogen. The rest is just history.

    1. It’s nice that our Media Elites seem to have accepted that the Chi-Com Flu was a “lab leak”, without any further inquiry or even curiosity. At this point, I’m convinced that this was a Bio-Weapon in development, and the question as to whether it was a “leak” or a deliberate release remains very, very open.

      This particular virus was very early on known to cause a rather mild influenza-like infection in most of the population affected. That mad it a perfect candidate for doing an “in vitro” test of how a similar, but more deadly virus would spread. With all the Chinese agents spread around the world, it would be an easy thing to collect samples for discreet analysis and reporting back to their masters in Beijing. The only problem was that for a small cohort of the infected population, the virus was very, very serious, and often deadly.

      And, so, the CCP went into serious cover-up mode, and our own political leaders, knowing through their intel sources that an actual bio-weapon was involved, also went into their own cover-up mode, since admitting that it was a Chinese bio-weapon would mean WWIII.

      But what do I know? I’m just making assumptions about how people react to existential threats, and I see lots of cover-up and denial, where there really shouldn’t be much.
