Wuhan Lab Leak of COVID is No Longer a Conspiracy Theory to be Debunked

www.emilypostnews.com

There was never a rat with coronavirus in a Chinese wet market. The pandemic that killed millions worldwide was not from nature. Even worse, COVID-19 was most likely made by Chinese scientists in an effort to craft the most effective, killer virus.

All of a sudden, none of this is a “debunked conspiracy theory.”

This was the general consensus of the most likely scientific data on Capitol Hill Wednesday after three years of government and mainstream media insisting that the lab leak and gain of function were lies from right-wing nutjobs

Wuhan Lab Leak

As I wrote you two years ago, Pres. Donald Trump’s CDC Director, Dr. Robert Redfield, was professionally canceled and personally called a racist after he told CNN that COVID most likely came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Re-read my March 2021 story here:

In Defense of Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield on a Wuhan Lab Leak
The Biden Administration, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the liberal media are so determined to appease communist China that they refuse to even acknowledge the very real possibility that COVID-19 came from a government lab.

As I wrote back about Redfield giving his expert opinion after leaving the CDC:

The Biden Administration, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the liberal media are so determined to appease communist China that they refuse to even acknowledge the very real possibility that COVID-19 came from a government lab.

In order to keep the public believing the only way the virus came to be was from a rat-to-human transfer, they have canceled the doctor who ran the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) during the first year of the pandemic. 

But the truth has since been set free.

Redfield Unmuzzled

On Wednesday, Redfield was center stage at the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing (full video here) on investigating the origins of COVID-19.

The doctor told the panel what he has been saying for years — that COVID is most likely the “result of an accidental lab leak than the result of a natural spillover event.”

Redfield told the committee that NIH Director and COVID King Dr. Anthony Fauci refused to let him take part in phone meetings on the virus origin when he was running the CDC so there would be no counterargument. He said Fauci had him “sidelined.”

Wuhan Lab Exposed

Meanwhile, Redfield was the most qualified to lead the government investigation into COVID-19 origin because he is a virologist with decades of experience working in military and hospital labs.

Here’s what he said about how the Wuhan lab leak was seen by investigators in 2019:

Gain of Function

Subcommittee Chairman Dr. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) asked Redfield if the Wuhan Institute conducted gain-of-function research on a batch of coronaviruses, and Redfield said yes.

Even more alarming, Redfield said directly — see the video in the tweet at the top — that gain of function studies created this COVID pandemic. In layman’s terms, this virus was man-made to spread faster and kill more.

Silencing Redfield was dangerous because it slowed or stopped investigations into the bigger picture. He said this in the hearing:

Understanding the origins of COVID-19 is critical for the future of scientific research, particularly as it affects the ongoing ethical debate around the conduct of gain-of-function research.

Gain-of-function has long been controversial within the scientific community, and, in my opinion, the COVID-19 pandemic presents a case study on the potential dangers of such research.

While many believe that gain-of-function research is critical to get ahead of viruses by developing vaccines, in this case, I believe it had the exact opposite result, unleashing a new virus on the world without any means of stopping it and resulting in the deaths of millions of people.

Lab Leak Coverup

There are countless examples of politicians and powerful media outlets deliberately refusing to consider — much less tell the public — the scientific facts about the manmade lab source of the virus because of their own personal hate of Trump.
