China Accuses U.S. of COVID-19 Origins in Escalating War of Words

I do not think the creation of Covid was accidental. I think its release into Wuhan was though. I also believe that China knew about Covid because of cases weeks before they closed their airports and ceased travel, therefore this makes me think Covids release into the world was a deliberate act. They waited until the day after all their citizens would travel for their big holiday before closing their airports. Every action since then was done to deter investigations, falsify reports as to the extent of infections and numbers reported for illness and deaths related to this. 

I read a report last week also that now, there is a mysterious increase in deaths between the ages of 30 to 60 in China. Although, the report did not state a new disease, they did suspect it was related to their vaccines and hinted at the main causes were the side effects of those vaccines. 

 

Yes, hundreds of international flights left China around Chinese New Year (25 JAN 2020) when the problem was already known.

Personally I subscribe to the lab leak theory rather than the market

 

Your view is shared by the German intelligence services:

 

Germany's foreign intelligence service believed there was a 80-90% chance that coronavirus accidentally leaked from a Chinese lab, German media say.

Two German newspapers say they have uncovered details of an assessment carried out by spy agency BND in 2020 but never published.

The intelligence service had indications that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been carrying out experiments where viruses are modified to become more transmissible to humans for research, they say.

 

According to Die Zeit and Sueddeutscher Zeitung, the BND met in Berlin in 2020 to look into the origin of coronavirus in an operation called Project Saaremaa.

It assessed the lab theory as "likely", although it did not have definitive proof.

The BND also found indications that several violations of safety regulations had occurred at the lab.

The assessment was commissioned by the office of Angela Merkel, Germany's chancellor at the time, but was never publicly known of until now.

According to the papers, the findings were shared with the CIA in autumn of last year.

In January this year, the CIA said that a "research-related origin" of the pandemic was more likely than a natural origin "based on the available body of reporting" - although it cautioned it had "low confidence" in this determination.

"The World Military Games took place from the 18^th to 27^th of October 2019 in Wuhan, China. Over 140 nations with 9308 athletes participated"

 

Why dont they ask the nations that attended the military games in Wuhan what they observed when in Wuhan!

And when many of those athletes returned to their respective countries many complained of a bad cough & cold like symptoms! What a great time to release a virus, tell me this was a coincidence!

That comment has put you firmly it the brainless clown box.

Fauci funded GOF research through the NIH, Obama banned it in the US. Fauci is responsible, perhaps not for the leak, but for creating the virus.

The US knows this but if admitted it then means the US are guilty by association. Hence the reason after 5yrs they still haven't found the origins

Try that line on the families of the deceased and all those still trying to live with the long--term effects of both virus and vaccines.

The outcome doesn't change for those affected at this point, my family included.

We didn't do it the Americans did. We are the CCP and you can trust us. Anyone who would believe this is a: insane, b: completely deluded or 😄 a  total CCP shill.

I think the Chinese forgot that Xi called Trump directly very early on and informed him how serious this was already in China and to take precautions as it was extremely contagious and deadly and would spread worldwide rapidly.

Interesting report .... and Interesting that it was not published officially and had to be leaked.  Trade before truth?

Complete B.S. 🤣

 

The viruses used in the EcoHealth program could not have been progenitors of SarsCov 2. The ADN signature doesn't match. Actually the progenitor of SarsCov 2 has not been found yet!

Maybe not for you and yours but I know others affected that would definitely disagree with you. These events warrant inquiries and corrective action. Nothing has really happened, nobody has been held accountable, so this could easily happen again. Happy with that??

Isn't it just. How interesting that the German government kept this research by their intelligence services top secret during the pandemic.

Got a link to that? And, if true, why allow thousands to travel out of China?

Meanwhile Dems were busy telling all their followers it was no more than the flu, and Pelosi went straight to China town to tell everyons to come and party..... or don't you remember that?

The risk was recognised before the Chinese New Year travel period, and the absence of a travel ban was, in my view, a deliberate ploy to ensure every country was impacted rather than containing it within China.

 

If only China was effected, their economy would tank in isolation .... but give every country a dose and it's a level economic playing field.

 

China put pressure on the WHO to stress that a travel ban was not needed - WHO was making statements at the time that it was effectively contained within Wuhan.  Then after Chinese New Year - China clamped down on all travel.

 

I remember Thai Facebook sites highlighting where in Thailand the Chinese tourists were going over their holiday period - so we knew where to avoid.  Amarin and Big C Ratchprasong were know hot spots to avoid.  So if this was common knowledge at the time .... why were they allowed to travel to Thailand in the first place?

Why are you responding to a question that I posed to Dan O?

 

I agree with what you say but I what about this phone call to Trump?

In that case, I was just wondering if you have been affected by the dip in the betel nut price recently?
