CIA backing lab leak theory for Covid -19 should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed this story: Sharri Markson
Security personnel seen near the entrance of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in early 2021. Picture: AP Photo/Ng Han Guan Eminent US scientists and bureaucrats had much at stake - their carefully-curated, high-profile reputations were on the line, along with millions of dollars in grants and funding.
In one of their earliest statements on the matter, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees the 18 US intelligence agencies, insisted that Covid-19 was not a man-made virus. The team uncovered intelligence that the first cluster of the pandemic were scientists researching coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who were hospitalised with Covid-specific symptoms around October 2019.
These systemic failures of the intelligence community only aided the Chinese Communist Regime’s cover-up of its own culpability. It has taken hundreds of hours of investigation and reporting over five years to unpick the webs of connections involved in this unjustifiable cover-up - and investigate the true origins of the virus.
