FBI Director Christopher Wray tells Fox’s @BretBaier…

The origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan. Let me step back for a second. The FBI has folks — agents, professionals, analysts, virologists, microbiologists, etc. — who focus specifically on the dangers of biological threats, which include things like novel viruses like Covid. And the concerns that they’re in the wrong hands — some bad guys, a hostile nation-state a terrorist or criminal — the threats that those could pose.

So here you’re talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab that killed millions of Americans and that’s precisely what that capability was designed for. I should add that our work related to this continues. And there are not a whole lot of details I can share that aren’t classified. I will just make the observation that the Chinese government, it seems to me, has been doing its best to try to thwart and obfuscate the work that we’re doing.

Anyone who believes this for even 30 seconds would’ve believed that Iraq had WMDs and should be supremely embarrassed because this is way fucking dumber

Americans are dumb, more so the Fox News watching ones, they’ll believe this like they did Iraq WMDs. This ramping up of Anti-China propaganda is really terrifying. Fighting Russia in a proxy war is one thing, but a direct confrontation with China is WW3 material. US is a dying empire that is willing to take the world with them.

Yes. It is 100% of the time projection. If the US accuses someone of someone they are definitely doing it themselves. That’s how they know it’s possible and believable.

Yeah, that’s been baked in ever since China became the center of world trade while the US was busy pissing trillions of dollars into failed wars.

I trust China not to do a first strike. I do not trust the United States (or Russia, which is why the escalation in Europe is bonkers).

De Trick indeed

this url is :chefs-kiss:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/05/health/germs-fort-detrick-biohazard.html

then this whole shooting that’s never been explained

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/frederick-maryland-shooting-fort-detrick-gunman-fantahun-woldesenbet/

and just saw this mentioned as well:

Fort Detrick made headlines in 2008 when Army biologist Bruce Edwards Ivins died of suicide at his base after learning that he would be named a suspect in the 2001 anthrax attack. He was never formally charged with posting letters that killed five people. ProPublica reported in 2011 that there were some doubts as to whether Ivins was the perpetrator.

Knowing how dumb IP laws are I wouldn’t be shocked if Moderna patented some genetic code common to all coronaviruses. Wasn’t there some thing a while back where a company wanted a patent on a part of the human genome? Lol

“The origins of the pandemic are MOST LIKELY a POTENTIAL lab incident in Wuhan… So here you’re talking about a POTENTIAL leak…”

Those hedge words. This is bullshit of the highest degree.
