Months ahead of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Wuhan National Biosafety Lab requested bids for major renovations to air safety and waste treatment systems in research facilities that had been operational for less than 2 years, according to a new congressional report on the pandemic’s origins, obtained by Fox News.
““In the chimera we made in America in 2015 with the SARS virus, together with Professor Zheng-li Shi of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, we had left signature mutations, so it was clear that it was the result of genetic engineering,” he continued. “But, otherwise there is no way to distinguish a natural virus from one made in the laboratory.”
“The only gain-of-function that occurred in that virus is that we changed its antigenicity,” Baric said.
The removal of the sequencing data is described in a new paper posted online Tuesday by Jesse Bloom, a virologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. The paper, which hasn’t been peer reviewed, says the missing data include sequences from virus samples collected in the Chinese city of Wuhan in January and February of 2020 from patients hospitalized with or suspected of having COVID-19.
When asked legitimate questions regarding his COVID-19 guidance pronouncements, Dr. Anthony Fauci shifts to his default mode of politicism, “The Ingraham Angle” host Laura Ingraham asserted on Wednesday night.
An advisory board member to the World Health Organization told Fox News, Monday, that China’s “massive cover-up” on COVID-19 is still happening today as the Wuhan lab-leak origin theory gains credibility.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken refuses to tell China that the U.S. will respond militarily to an attack on Taiwan, but commits to helping Taiwan defend itself, during an exclusive interview with Meet the Press.
Statement signed by 12 other nations says investigation into virus origins not extensive enough. The US and the UK have sharply criticised a World Health Organization report into the beginnings of the coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan, implicitly accusing China of “withholding access to complete, original data and samples”.
