Even
if the caronavirus was released by accident by the Chinese they are
responsible for this current pandemic in every way and as such ought
to be held accountable for their actions. This means shouldering some
of the economic burden they’ve placed on other countries through
their misconduct at best. According to new reports.
After
the joint work stopped in the US, funding continued and the Chinese
moved forward with the project and ran research and development in
Wuhan at the Wuhan Virology Center. From Chinese Doctor Shi Zhengli’s
papers and resume, it is clear that the Chinese through Doctor
Zhengli successfully isolated the virus in the lab and were actively
experimenting with animal to human transmission.
It’s
also important to note that back in 2017 the U.S. had solid
intelligence about a viral leak in a high security Chinese virology
R&D center that resulted in the SARS virus getting out and
killing people. From all of the published research papers that relate
to this project going back to 2014, it’s clear that COVID-19 was
already in a lab. In 2017, the Chinese had a similar release incident
that sickened eight people and killed one. It started when two
workers at a Chinese CDC lab independently isolated and experimented
in vitro/vivo a SARS virus. In one of these sessions the scientists
took a previously unknown variant of the SARS virus and moved it out
from a BSL-4 high-containment facility into a low-safety diarrhea
research lab where the two were working. Apparently, the virus
inactivation process didn’t work properly and both were infected at
the lab and then proceeded to infect other people outside of the lab.
So
obviously the Chinese government had access to all of this
information right from the beginning. Why wouldn’t they have
released it to the world right when the outbreak began to take off so
that folks would know what they were dealing with and how contagious
it could possibly be?
Many
countries opted not to take immediate action because they believed
that China was containing the spread and that this was just another
flu bug that got out into the open, which turned out to not be true
at all.
China
didn’t want to be responsible for this debacle, so they kept these
truths to themselves, despite the fact that doing so could cost a lot
of lives. Just Yesterday
it was noted that the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, Hubei
Province in China was hiring individuals for an ecological study of
bat migration and virus transmission in November of 2019.
We
now know from Dr. Shi’s resume and papers that she was still
working on the coronavirus at that time:
According
to National Review: On December 24, 2019, the Wuhan Institute of
Virology posted a second job posting. The translation of that posting
includes the declaration, “long-term research on the pathogenic
biology of bats carrying important viruses has confirmed the origin
of bats of major new human and livestock infectious diseases such as
SARS and SADS, and a large number of new bat and rodent new viruses
have been discovered and identified.” What happened up until
January is still mostly a mystery. But now we have more evidence that
China was working on the China coronavirus in a lab in Wuhan for
years. We also have evidence of fatalities from the lab coronavirus
back in 2017.
Of
course, what everyone really wants to know is if this virus was
released by accident or on purpose. We can’t really know the answer
to that question at this point in time but were still investigating.
