1) Today's news on Fauci highlights the inadequacy of the Intelligence Community’s report on the virus’ origin.

Why has the IC shown a marked lack of interest in the readily available open source data?

New from myself and @hansmahncke

2) Ignored by the IC Report was the type of research being conducted at WIV since at least 2007, which has been well documented.

Research papers provide direct evidence of increasingly sophisticated gain-of-function experiments at the labs.

3) The report ignores that live bats were kept at the WIV, apparently the only location in Wuhan where bats could actually be found.

The report also fails to note that thousands of bat samples were brought from Southern China to Wuhan by lab scientists.

4) The huge depository of bat samples in Wuhan was confirmed by Daszak in July 2020, when he discussed the early discovery of a close genetic match to Covid-19, noting that “It was just one of the 16,000 bats we sampled.

5) The IC report also fails to address the troubling fact that the director of the WIV, Shi Zhengli, tried to cover up the fact that she had maintained possession of the closest known relative to COVID-19 for more than seven years.

6) Shi also obfuscated the virus’s origin. The location where Shi originally found the COVID-like virus was later discovered to be the Mojiang Mine where three miners had died with COVID-like symptoms in 2012.

Shi would later admit that Mojiang Mine was the source of her virus.

7) Fauci’s own official representative in China, Chen Ping, had sent multiple messages to Fauci’s office - all of which should have raised red flags.

Chen noted that research papers detailing gain-of-function experiments at the WIV were being published as NIH-funded work.

8) The French government, after initially helping w/construction, refused to certify WIV’s lab based on bioweapon concerns from military officials.

France also denied China access to safety equipment & viruses over concerns that these could be used for bioweapons research.

9) Additionally, in 2009, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was warned in a diplomatic cable of the construction of the WIV BSL-4 lab and the potential for biological weapons proliferation.

10) The IC report also failed to note that both the WIV and the Wuhan CDC were conducting bat coronavirus experiments in BSL-2 labs, a low biosafety environment that falls below the accepted threshold of safety for coronavirus research levels.

11) When Shi Zhengli finally admitted to conducting coronavirus experiments at BSL-2, a prominent natural origins supporter, Ian Lipkin, changed his view on the pandemic’s origin.

Lipkin now thinks the virus did come out of a Wuhan lab, saying that “It shouldn’t have happened.

12) A more recent development also ignored in the IC’s report is that WHO lead origins investigator, Peter Ben Embarek, has now claimed in a Danish documentary that a lab leak is likely and “may well have been started by an employee at one of the city's laboratories.”

13) Embarek had earlier claimed that a lab leak was extremely unlikely but now admits that claim was the result of pressure from the CCP.

Embarek told the Danes that after two days of negotiations, a deal was struck between the Embarek’s team and their Chinese counterparts.

14) IC report also fails to address the Feb 1, 2020 teleconference hastily organized by Fauci and Farrar, director of UK's Wellcome Trust.

The teleconference took place after public reporting of a potential connection between COVID and the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

15) It appears that Fauci and Farrar were concerned about previous U.S. involvement with the lab, and that they had knowledge of public statements made by the Wuhan lab’s director about U.S. funding being used for controversial gain-of-function research conducted there.

16) Following the teleconference, public discussion of the source possibly being a lab leak was actively suppressed by social media platforms, health officials, and the WHO.

17) Another area the IC report failed to address was funding of the WIV from domestic sources in the US government and how those funds were being utilized.

The funding agencies, including Fauci’s NIAID and NIH, have responsive records and documentation in their possession.

18) EcoHealth documents have confirmed that Fauci funded gain-of-function experiments.

Those engineered viruses were tested on humanized mice showing that the viruses could infect humans and were more pathogenic than the original virus.

19) The Galveston lab that trained WIV staff has detailed information both on training and staff.

France has records on the construction of the lab and on the disputes which ultimately led France to withdraw from the WIV.

The EU also funded the WIV and has pertinent records.

20) There are also scientists involved in initial efforts to push natural origins who have had a change of heart.

Bernard Roizman has stated that the virus originated from the lab due to “sloppiness,“ claiming that Wuhan lab personnel “can’t admit they did something so stupid.”

21) There is a wealth of information that is readily available and does not require the CCP’s cooperation.

If the IC’s intention was to provide the public with an answer to the origin of the virus, that answer could easily be found.
