One has to wonder why the Credentialed Media worked so hard to protect China from accusations that they intentionally or unintentionally released Bat Soup Virus from a laboratory. Was it just because they wanted to be contradictory from what Trump was saying? Is it because they’re beholden to China, much like the NBA and Disney (how many media outlets are owned by Disney?) Do they just love China and hate the Truth? Are they protecting China because Trump launched his economic war against them, which meant that Leftists took China’s side?
A top Trump administration national security official recently claimed there was a “growing body of evidence” to support the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese government-run lab in Wuhan.
Deputy National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger made the claim in a recent virtual conference call with British lawmakers regarding China. During the call, Pottinger asserted that officials within China have rejected the theory that the virus originated from a wet market in Wuhan.
“There is a growing body of evidence to say that a laboratory leak or accident is very much a credible possibility,” Pottinger said during the call. “Even establishment figures in Beijing have openly dismissed the wet market story.”
Scientists have yet to trace the exact origins of the pandemic, though it is widely believed to have been spread through human contact with infected animals. President Trump and other top officials have floated the theory that the virus leaked from a lab. To date, no evidence has emerged to support that claim.
The Daily Mail was first to report on Pottinger’s remarks.
Efforts to identify the origins of the virus are a key element of the U.S. government’s plan to prevent future pandemics, a senior administration official told Fox News when asked for further comment on Pottinger’s remarks. The official noted the administration’s stance that China has failed to share reliable information about the pandemic since its onset and that Beijing engaged in an “extensive disinformation campaign” regarding its origins.
So, scientists do not know where it actually started, but, hey, they’ll claim without that evidence that someone ate something and it just spread like wildfire, a disease that tended to target the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions, but tended to leave those 10 and under alone, and not really affect most under 50? Really? It wouldn’t be the first time a virus was released from the Wuhan lab.
But, see, not blaming China for releasing the virus, saying it came from someone eating a bat or pangolin or something allowed the media and Leftists to attack Trump. Pure and simple.
