We have almost reached a full year since the spread of SARS-Cov2 was proclaimed a pandemic. If we are to believe the World Health Organization's and individual governments' official statistics, the number of confirmed cases is reaching 100 million with over 2 million deaths. Indeed, if these numbers can be relied upon, we can surely acknowledge there is a real pandemic.
It would be common sense, therefore, to expect, in fact demand, international health agencies and governments to make every effort to identify the virus' origin. Suspicions that the virus, now responsible for the spectrum of medical symptoms known as Covid-19, may have been bioengineered and escaped from a maximum security BSL-4 lab in Wuhan, China, were already voiced within a month after its identification was first reported. Several highly respected medical experts, including Dr. David Relman at Stanford University,
have suggested there is a strong likelihood that the virus escaped the Wuhan facility. To date, early queries about its origins remain unanswered and new questions are mounting.
Recently, Jamie Metzl, a WHO advisor who earlier served under Biden in the Senate and in Bill Clinton's National Security Council and State Department, told the
Toronto Sun that the hypothesis of the virus' natural origin in a Wuhan wet market is "a lie." It is no secret,
Metzl noted, that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was heavily engaged in "gain of function" research to "amplify the virility of viruses."
That there is very reasonable evidence that coronaviruses were being engineered in a laboratory goes back to 2003 and perhaps earlier. That year, many Russian medical scientists, including Moscow's head epidemiologist Dr. Nikolai Filatov, shared their opinions that the first SARS outbreak originated from a bioweapons lab.
Comment: How unsurprising and predictable. Remember what Chuck Schumer said, "Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you."
