It was recently reported that the Energy Dept Concludes Covid Likely Was Result of Wuhan Lab Leak.
In that post I detailed the history of Chinese government attempts to repress reporting on the Wuhan lab leak possibility, and how western liberals joined the effort to declare any mention of Wuhan in connection with the virus as “racist”:
Part of that history was the Chinese government’s attempt to stifle discussion about the origin of the virus, declaring through its proxy the WHO, that even to mention “Wuhan” in connection with “virus” was racist. The term Wuhan Coronavirus, commonly used in the mainstream media, disappeared almost overnight in the media and elsewhere, including campuses. So thorough was the linguistic manipulation, even Grammerly got into the act.
But it always was obvious that a lab leak was the most likely explanation, as Jon Stewart humorously explained to a befuddled and clearly uncomfortable Stephen Colbert:
While it was previously reported that the FBI had moderate confidence of the lab leak theory, that was confirmed today by FBI Director Christopher Wray in an interview with Bret Baier, FBI director says COVID pandemic ‘most likely’ originated from Chinese lab:
FBI Director Christopher Wray said that the COVID-19 pandemic was likely caused by a lab leak in Wuhan, China.”The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan,” Wray told Fox News in an interview that aired Tuesday. “Here you are talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab.”
Yup. In other news, the Chinese government is threatening Elon Musk if he shares the news reports on the lab leak.
A Chinese state-run newspaper issued a warning to Tesla CEO Elon Musk after he shared reporting on the U.S. Department of Energy’s “low confidence” assessment that the global Covid pandemic originated in a Wuhan laboratory.CNBC’s Eunice Yoon reported Tuesday morning on the warning from the social media pages of the Global Times, the English-language subsidiary of the government-controlled People’s Daily. The Global Times warned Musk that he could be “breaking the pot of China” after the Tesla and Twitter CEO responded to tweets that asserted that the Covid pandemic originated in a Wuhan research laboratory.The saying is akin to the idiom “to bite the hand that feeds you,” Yoon reported. Tesla has an expansive factory campus in Shanghai, and China is the electric vehicle manufacturer’s second largest market.
It’s *almost* like the cover up continues.
