There has been “huge news” with a classified intelligence report handed to the White House saying the US Energy Department has concluded COVID-19 “likely arose from a lab leak”, says Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“We already knew that three workers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were hospitalised with COVID-like symptoms around October or November 2019,” she said.
“My sources tell me the new part is that those scientists were working directly with bat coronaviruses.” Ms Markson said in May 2020 a US laboratory which the Energy Department oversees prepared a “bombshell classified report” making the case COVID-19 may have originated in a Wuhan lab as a result of “synthetic and serial passage gain-of-function biological research”, but this was dismissed at the time.
“What’s new now is that the officials at the top of the Department of Energy have come to the same conclusion as the experts working for them did nearly three years ago. “There are now two US intelligence agencies that say a lab leak is the most likely cause of the pandemic.”

‘Heresy’: Video reveals preacher claiming God is ‘gay, trans and nonbinary’A video has emerged of a church preacher claiming God is “gay, trans and non-binary” which is “heresy” and the “sort of fight” the Early Church had for centuries, says Sky News host James Morrow. “This whole idea that you were projecting the present political and whatever other obsessions of the day onto the deity,” Mr Morrow said. “The whole point of God is that he is eternal and transcendent. “This is a heresy in the extreme and I’m sorry but there are eternal truths, and you can choose to believe them or not. “If you are going to subscribe to Christian doctrine, or Jewish doctrine or any doctrine, the point is not to rewrite Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism or Islam or whatever your faith is through the reflection of whatever today’s episode of the Green Left weekly is.”
