I’m pretty sure we were all skeptical about the origin of the virus, the ridiculous spread of it, plenty of conspiracies surrounding it… it just seemed questionable from the beginning.
Of course, as with most outbreaks, the public is inundated with fear and is naturally skeptical anyways, especially with a secretive foreign government.
According to The Daily Wire:
A new report from this weekend stated that people should not “buy China’s story” surrounding the origins of the coronavirus from China, suggesting that details may point to the virus likely coming from a Chinese biological lab.
The New York Post reported that Chinese communist dictator Xi Jinping recently spoke about the need to up biosecurity at laboratories due to national security concerns.
What’s even more interesting is that The New York Post made a point to recognize a directive released the following day by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, speculating that some sort of accident occurred in one of the labs. This directive was called “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”
Is that just a coincidence or totally intentional?
More from The Daily Wire:
Reuters reported late last week that Chinese researchers are saying the notion that the virus came from the Wuhan lab is a conspiracy theory and that it is making it harder for them to combat the virus’ spread.
The suggestion that the virus might have come from the Wuhan lab has been floated by top U.S. officials, including Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who has hammered China in recent weeks for its dishonesty over what it knows about the coronavirus.
Cotton, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Armed Services Committee, told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo last week that “the situation is very grave, in part because, as you say, China was lying from the beginning, and they’re still lying today, and also because there are so many unknowns about this virus, for example, how many people one person can infect once they have the virus, the extent to which it’s contagious before one is symptomatic, or the mortality rate.”
“Now, we don’t have evidence that this disease originated there, but, because of China’s duplicity and dishonesty from the beginning, we need to at least ask the question to see what the evidence says,” Cotton added. “And China right now is not giving any evidence on that question at all.”
“China’s obviously very secretive about what happens at the Wuhan laboratory. We don’t know, again, where this virus originated. That’s why it’s so important that we at least ask the questions and get the evidence,” Cotton said. “But China continues to block our ability to ask those questions and get that evidence.”
