Questions over the ethics of social media censorship policies that previously characterized the Wuhan lab leak theory as “misinformation” are being asked following a new report bolstering the explanation and Dr. Fauci admitting it’s a possibility.

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, a US intelligence report reveals that three researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology became so sick in November 2019 that they required hospital treatment.

Two months later and China was still telling the WHO that there was zero human to human transmission of the virus.

Dr. Anthony Fauci was also asked by Katie Sanders of Politifact if he thought COVID-19 had developed naturally. Fauci responded by suggesting other causes are a possibility.

“I am not convinced about that, I think we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we continue to find out to the best of our ability what happened,” said Fauci.

“Certainly, the people who investigated it say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could have been something else, and we need to find that out. So, you know, that’s the reason why I said I’m perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus,” he added.

As we highlighted last week, both current and former CDC Directors also remain open to the possibility that the virus was leaked from the Wuhan lab and scientific groups have also asserted that the lab leak is the most likely source.

Last week, Politifact was also forced to pull a ‘fact check’ that claimed it had “debunked” the lab leak origin theory of COVID-19.

At this point it has become untenable for anyone to keep claiming that the lab leak theory is a wild conspiracy theory given the plethora of valid evidence suggesting it could indeed be true.

Numerous commentators are now making the point that for months after the pandemic outbreak, information pertaining to the lab leak origin theory was ruthlessly censored by the major social media networks.

President Donald Trump was repeatedly accused of spreading fake news by highlighting the lab leak theory.

“Perhaps it’s a bad idea to appoint tech officials the arbiters of what constitutes a “conspiracy theory” or “disinformation,” and demand that they execute social media purges on that basis,” remarked Michael Tracey.

“A year ago, lab leak theory was dismissed as “misinformation” by Facebook’s ‘independent’ fact-checkers and posts mentioning it were removed. Now, even Dr Fauci is saying it should be investigated. Good example of why Big Tech companies should not try to censor “misinformation,” said Toby Young.

“So now that MAINSTREAM outlets are admitting the likelihood of CoVid originating in a lab (after mocking Trump mercilessly over his claims for a year) let me ask you…If this info were available oh, say, last year… think it may have had an impact on the election?” asked Steven Crowder.

Don’t expect any apologies from social media networks. For them to admit they got it wrong would bolster assertions that they shouldn’t be the final arbiters of truth, a premise they will never accept.

CCP Defector Says China Deliberately Spread COVID at Military Event in 2019

Tried to warn Trump administration but they didn’t listen.

CCP defector Wei Jingsheng says the Communist Chinese deliberately spread COVID-19 at an international military tournament in Wuhan in October 2019, two months before they notified the WHO about the first case of the virus.

According to Jingsheng, some of the 9,000 athletes who had gathered for the event came down with a mystery illness after the CPP deliberately sought to create a superspreader event.

“I thought the Chinese Government would take this opportunity to spread the virus during the Military Games, as many foreigners would show up there,” Jingsheng told The Mail Australia.

The whistleblower said he had heard rumors of the Chinese preparing for an “unusual exercise” during the event involving “some strange weapons, including biological weapons.”

Jingsheng said he tried to warn the Trump administration at the time but that no one listened to him.

“They may not believe that a Government of a country would do something like that (cover up a virus), so I kept repeating myself in an effort … to persuade them,” he said.

Former Principal China Adviser to the U.S. State Department Miles Yu backed up Jingsheng’s claims, asserting that he witnessed French, German and American athletes fall sick at the tournament with COVID-like symptoms.

As we highlighted earlier, scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology attempted to secure $14 million in funding from DARPA in 2018 to genetically alter viruses, including bat coronaviruses, and make them more infectious to humans.

Report: Wuhan Lab Requested Funding From DARPA To Make Chimeric Viruses, Genetically Alter Coronaviruses To Make Them More Infectious To Humans

18 months before the COVID-19 outbreak, Wuhan scientists drew up plans which even DARPA said were crazy stupid; Scientist notes WIV may have carried them out anyway without the funding

A bombshell report has concluded that scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and their affiliated partners attempted to secure $14 million in funding from the Pentagon’s scientific arm DARPA to genetically alter viruses, including bat coronaviruses, and make them more infectious to humans, just eighteen months prior to the subsequent outbreak and pandemic.

The London Telegraph reports the findings revealed by Drastic, a web-based investigations team set up by scientists from across the world to look into the origins of Covid-19.

The documents they obtained, confirmed as genuine by former US government officials, show that DARPA turned down the request, saying the plans for yet more gain of function research were TOO DANGEROUS to the human population.

The Telegraph notes that the documents reveal the Wuhan scientists “submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles containing ‘novel chimeric spike proteins’ of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China.”

The documents also show that the plan involved genetically altering the bat coronaviruses to add “human-specific cleavage sites,” essentially making it easier for the virus to get into human cells.

This is EXACTLY what was discovered when Covid-19 was first genetically sequenced, prompting many scientists to suggest the virus had been genetically manipulated in a lab.

The documents reveal that the same cast of characters already under scrutiny regarding gain of function research in Wuhan submitted the plan to DARPA. Both British zoologist Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, who later attempted to shut down scientific debate on the possibility of a lab leak, and the “bat woman” Dr Shi Zhengli were intimately involved.

Angus Dalgleish, Professor of Oncology at St Georges, University of London, who maintains that the pandemic was likely a result of a genetically altered virus, said the research may have gone ahead even without the funding.

“This is clearly a gain of function, engineering the cleavage site and polishing the new viruses to enhance human cell infectibility in more than one cell line,” Dalgleish said. 

The Telegraph notes that the plans were rejected by DARPA, with the agency noting “It is clear that the proposed project led by Peter Daszak could have put local communities at risk”, and further warning that proper consideration of the consequences of enhancing the viruses had not been undertaken.

Let that sink in. Even DARPA, the secretive military weapons development agency, the ones who have invented implantable microchips, cyborg dogs and drone killing machines said that the WIV gain of function plan was nuts.

The Telegraph also notes that a “Covid-19 researcher from the World Health Organisation (WHO), who wished to remain anonymous, said it was alarming that the grant proposal included plans to enhance the more deadly disease of Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).”

“The scary part is they were making infectious chimeric MERS viruses,” the source warned.

Those findings dovetail with previous revelations in documents obtained under the FOIA showing that lab tampering was undertaken on MERS-like coronaviruses in several labs around Wuhan, including a level three biocontainment facility, which has lesser security that the level four labs previously mentioned in relation to the outbreak.

MERS viruses have 30-50 percent fatality rates, with the source noting “If one of their receptor replacements made MERS spread similarly (to COVID-19), while maintaining its lethality, this pandemic would be nearly apocalyptic.”

Drastic issued a statement on the latest findings urging “Given that we find in this proposal a discussion of the planned introduction of human-specific cleavage sites, a review by the wider scientific community of the plausibility of artificial insertion is warranted.”

The accumulating scientific evidence that points to a potential coronavirus lab leak, as well as China’s record on bio-security, and its constant stonewalling, warrants an adequate global independent investigation, which hasn’t happened.

    Orange Vests March For Third Day in Melbourne, Police Crack Skulls

    Construction workers irate at mandatory vaccination, shut down of their industry.

    Orange vest construction workers marched for a third day in Melbourne, Australia against mandatory vaccination rules, with one video showing a protester profusely bleeding after police cracked his skull.

    After authorities shut down the construction industry in Melbourne for two weeks in an effort to force workers to get vaccinated, anger only escalated, with the orange vests seen engaged in numerous clashes with police.

    The demonstrations continued for a third day, with numerous clips illustrating how irate the mandatory vaccine rule has made the workers as well as the brutality of the police response.

    “My skull is cracked,” said one man who said his name was Kyle Mitchell as he lie bleeding on the ground.

    Police arrested a mother merely for carrying a protest sign while her crying child clung on to her.

    Riot cops threw another woman to the ground.

    Another clip shows a female protester crying as she is dragged away by police.

    Another video purports to show police sending in agent provocateurs to stir up unoptical violence.

    Police fired rubber bullets at the demonstrators.

    One protester carried a sign saying “Andrews is the virus,” in reference to Dan Andrews, the Premier of Victoria.

    Another demonstrator asserted that the construction workers will never comply with communism.

    Journalists who have amplified the government’s lockdown narrative for over a year aren’t being treated with much respect.

    One of the protesters’ favorite chants is “every day,” as they vow to continue their resistance.

    As we document in the video below, the uprising has hallmarks of the Yellow Vest revolt in France given the demographic of the protesters and their distinctive clothing.
