According to sources, spy chiefs reportedly suppressed FBI and US defense department investigators after discovering proof that Covid-19 had leaked from a Chinese laboratory. These conclusions were omitted from a document from August 2021, which stated the disease was “probably not physically engineered,” and was presented to President Joe Biden.
Important results suppressed
Three scientists—John Hardham, Robert Cutlip, and Jean-Paul Chretien—investigated the causes of Covid-19 and identified compelling information favoring the lab leak idea, including:
- A spike protein feature aiding human transmission, mirroring techniques described in a 2008 Wuhan Institute of Virology ( WIV ) study.
- A Chinese government scientist submitted an application for a Covid-19 vaccine patent a few weeks after the 2020 virus sequence was sequenced, but strange things happened.
- Information that WIV researchers worked with US scientists to create viruses that were muted into something else.
Despite the results, intelligence officials barred the researchers from presenting their study to Congress or the FBI, which would be the only way to know for certain that a laboratory leak was the good source.
Silenced skills
According to a source with knowledge of the investigation,” the professionals with subject matter expertise were silenced,” adding that Biden and senior leaders lacked knowledge of the withheld information. Additionally, federal offer paperwork detailing a “blueprint” for architectural infections like SARS-CoV-2 were poorly classified, according to leak Lt. Col. Joseph Murphy.
Renewed calling for accountability
FBI professor Jason Bannan, whose group supported the lab leak idea, criticized the lack of clarity in the intelligence community’s results. ” What ended up on the cutting-room surface needs to be re-examined”, Bannan told The Wall Street Journal.
Since the virus has claimed over 1.2 million lives in the United States since 2019, requires for more investigation have resurfaced following the stifled results.
