Wuhan Lab Helped Chinese Army in Secret Project to Find Animal Viruses
By: Eric Mack
The China virus really is exactly that. The China virus. This new information confirms what many have suspected all along. That the virus escaped from the lab. Whether the research was to create a defense for an outbreak or an offensive bio weapon remains unknown. The reasons for the Chinese cover up and lies to the world are being found out.

Wuhan Lab Helped Chinese Army in Secret Project to Find Animal Viruses
Despite its repeated denials, revelations are coming out the Chinese government has been working on a secret military project for 9 years to find and research animal viruses, according to documents obtained by the U.K.'s Daily Mail on Sunday.
The Trump administration had long speculated the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been conducting military research amid the global coronavirus pandemic that is believed to have begun in November 2019 in Wuhan.
"The Chinese have made it clear they see biotechnology as a big part of the future of hybrid warfare," State Department weapons expert David Asher told the Mail. "The big question is whether their work in these fields is offensive or defensive."
The documents show research called "the discovery of animal-delivered pathogens carried by wild animals" detected the "dark matter" of biology in spreading disease, including 143 new diseases discovered in the first 3 years of the project, according to the report.
The de facto "Bat Woman" at the WIV lab, Shi Zhengli made trips to find samples in caves and helped lead a team of 5 that include Cao Wuchin, a senior Chinese army officer and government bioterrorism adviser, the Mail reported.
"I don't know of any military work at the WIV," Col. Cao said last month, denying U.S. government allegations of military research at the WIV. "That info is incorrect."
But documents obtained by the Mail show Cao as a Academy of Military Medical Sciences of the People's Liberation Army, director of the Military Biosafety Expert Committee and sits on the Wuhan Institute of Virology's advisory board.
The epidemiologist studied at Cambridge University and was the No. 2 in China in the COVID-19 response and vaccine development.
"Many have been working with Western research institutes for years to steal our know-hows, but China still refuses to share critical information a year after the pandemic has killed over 3 million," Lianchao Han, a dissident who defected from the Chinese government, told the Mail.
The U.S. State Department has long alleged intelligence showing gain of function research at the lab and COVID-19 spreading among WIV researchers weeks before it spread in the city of Wuhan.
The World Health Organization under China's watchful eye issued a China-approved report that called the U.S. allegations of a WIV leak as "extremely unlikely."
"They are still not being transparent with us," King's College London biosecurity expert Filippa Lentzos told the Mail, calling the latest report as fitting "the pattern of inconsistencies" from the Chinese government. "We have no hard data on the pandemic origins, whether it was a natural spill-over from animals or some kind of accidental research-related leak, yet we're unable to get straight answers and that simply does not inspire confidence."
The Mail report noted three miners died of a strange respiratory disease caught while clearing bat feces and a database of samples from the WIV were mysterious taken offline in September 2019.
This is something that the msm hides from. This one is strictly for our readers. The ones that some want to pretend are non-existent.
Maybe Newsmax can get diamond and silk to investigate...
The facts in the article can't be disputed
I doubt we'll be hearing any fact based arguments.
Good thing that there are very few facts in the article.
SO one questionable source quotes an even bigger questionable source and that's your proof?
maybe this story will push NewsMax into the banned category for unproven conspiracy.
At the least the Daily Mail is paper and makes good liner fro pet cages and kitty litter.
So not a shred of actual evidence of anything nefarious, just evidence that China was studying animal viruses and that "a senior Chinese army officer and government bioterrorism adviser" "sits on the Wuhan Institute of Virology's advisory board".
What evidence does conservative media we have? Speculation that the WHO said was "extremely unlikely", China "not being transparent", and a "pattern of inconsistencies" and "no hard data on the pandemic origins". But that doesn't stop conservative media from coming to spurious conclusions that their witless poorly educated readers will take as gospel. What a joke. I'm not saying China is some choir boy, they're not and they obviously are engaged in covering their asses, but without actual evidence of an actual military program designed to weaponize viruses it's completely dishonest to accuse them of such or continue trying to call Covid "the China virus' which is only really being done by dumb shit bigots.
It most likely was a matter of incompetence. Are you claiming that the virus didn't come from the lab?
What evidence does conservative media we have?
Where is the curiosity of the msm? We do know that whatever hard evidence there was is long gone as are certain Chinese scientists. Eventually we will know the answer, long after we forget what was written here or who wrote it.
Speculation that the WHO said was "extremely unlikely", China "not being transparent", and a "pattern of inconsistencies" and "no hard data on the pandemic origins".
The WHO is as about as credible as the CCP.
But that doesn't stop conservative media from coming to spurious conclusions that their witless poorly educated readers will take as gospel.
It sounds like you don't want questions being asked? Why not?
I'm not saying China is some choir boy, they're not and they obviously are engaged in covering their asses, but without actual evidence of an actual military program designed to weaponize viruses it's completely dishonest to accuse them of such or continue trying to call Covid "the China virus' which is only really being done by dumb shit bigots.
So questioning the CCP is bigotry? That seems to be your answer to everything.
Why are you so protective of this brutal regime?
We seldom hear a discouraging word.......when it comes to the CCP
China been a bad boy ... you good now Vic?
All evidence points to it evolving in the wild and being transferred to humans at live, wild caught animal markets.
What gets me is people act like we don't do the same thing.
So you actually think we don't have secret labs? That we don't have labs with very contagious virus...
Hmmm, that's a Trump quote.
Did our germs get loose and cause a big problem?
Just because it hasn't, doesn't mean it couldn't.
Hell for years we have had movies and television shows about just that happening.
Your bombs almost did:
But this did not start near Fort Detrick MD (or the really secret places)
There were American scientists working at the Wuhan labs.
I guess all those American scientists are all in on this conspiracy that it was let lose on the world...s/
it's completely dishonest to accuse them of such or continue trying to call Covid "the China virus' which is only really being done by dumb shit bigots.
Why are you in such denial about where the virus originated...and escaped from? Only dumb shit idiots do that.
Why are you an apologist and trying to provide cover for the Chinese government after the evil they have done...and continue to do
But those dumbshit pc pricks will, without hesitation, refer to the chinese virus variants by their location, uk variant, south african variant, etc.
And there is ebola, west nile virus, middle east respiratory syndrome, and more. I guess those aren’t racist, but chinese virus is. As usual, liberals make no sense. They can kiss china’s ass if they want to, i’ll keep referring to it as the chinese virus.
... has a nice ring to it.
Why not name it after the person that coined the name his followers must use.
Perhaps because even the conservatives your seed is quoting have to admit "We have no hard data on the pandemic origins, whether it was a natural spill-over from animals or some kind of accidental research-related leak". Why are you so confident in the virus's origins as to make spurious accusation you have absolutely zero proof of? Why are you so fucking desperate as to accuse the CCP of this and why try and call it the "China virus" instead of the "CCP virus" even if they were somehow behind it? Using such heated bigoted terms has only increased violence towards innocent Asian Americans here on our shores.
I'm not, I'm a realist who believes in following the evidence, not making up bullshit to align with some pre-determined prejudice as many conservatives appear to be doing.
I'm not providing any cover, I just think it's important to blame them for the things we know they've done like stealing intellectual property, stealing genetic data, abusing, imprisoning and killing the Uighurs, abusing their own people and imprisoning's political dissenters. Trying to throw in some unproven theory about weaponized viruses simply clouds the waters and gives them and excuse to refute and deny the charges since there is simply zero evidence backing up such claims.
It's obvious that some desperately desire to use such slurs like "China Virus" or "Kung Flu" simply because they have harbored hate in their hearts for Asians and they take out their prejudices on Asian Americans who have nothing to do with any of the crimes whatever they may be committed by the CCP. Using such loaded rhetoric is not only dishonest and bigoted, it's dangerous, but apparently many dumb shits among us don't give a shit, likely because they're stupid bigoted dumb shits.
Sometimes I wonder why we waste our time replying to ignorant comments, wondering why don't we just let them blow in the wind like the fartstorm they are. For a while I served on the Board of Directors of the Mood Disorders Association back in Canada, and I'm familiar with the fact that such obsessions are a form of mental illness. At best, such comments are nothing more that a mimic of and support of their lord and master Pied Piper Trump who used the method to deflect from his own total incompetence and mismanagement of the pandemic.
As for the Uighurs, there also is another side to the story, bacause the one initiated by super-Christian Communist hater Adrean Zenz, repeated by so many others including Pompeo may not be the only one.
I know of one secret lab. I believe that it was a joint effort between superpowers.
I believe it was in Wuhan, China.
So you too are going to think that we have no labs that test contagions...
Did you understand my comments?
Yep. All blame and pointing fingers.
For some strange reason, you seem reluctant to point a finger at China...when the truth about their complicity is so plainly obvious.
Last time I Iooked, the US hadn't released a pandemic upon the world...and then denied it
My actual thoughts on it...
I think that even if it was released by accident (because I highly doubt someone would purposefully release it to their own population and the world they depend on) just sitting there and yelling and screaming and saying hateful things does nothing.
It only causes more hatred. Hell even all but one republican voted for the anti Asian violence bill in congress.
It is better to work on solutions.
More blame, more pointing fingers...
Total bullshit!
Just last friday. 61 year old asian man was knocked down from behind and kicked in the head, repeatedly. Not sure how he’s doing now, but he was in critical condition.
the suspect is a male with a dark complexion.
We have viruses and other nasties stored, most of them we will never know what they are.
I'm starting to feel sorry for the Trumpsters/conservatives/Republicans. They have so little to justify themselves that they find it necessary to deflect the incompetent manner in which their "god and master" handled the pandemic, totally screwed up their chances at governance, and are so panicked that America could possibly become number 2 instead of number 1, by making up whatever stories (knowing how much the naive among them will believe whatever they put over the internet), point and blame (Trump taught them how to do that) and will get their kicks and believe they will come out winners if they find any new possible ways to slander and sabotage China, hoping to encumber China's rise. As well their bullshit has been aimed at forcing Biden's administration to continue on that path or be blamed for being "weak". What a game - how I love to watch it all.
The thing is Buzz here in America it isn't a game, Its a fight for our country and it sickens me.
Because reality is that up is still up and down is still down and so many just cant seem to see the reality of the fact that America really is weaker when we are divided.
United we stood, divided we will fall.
Damn, even our enemies understand its easier to concur a divided people than a united one.
The adage "United we stand, divided we fall" is so appropriate, so ignored. But as I've attempted to point out above, the Trumpsters/conservatives/Republicans are attempting to unite the country by pointing elsewhere - and all that is doing is widening the divide and causing domestic problems, and not having anywhere near the effect they wish for China, which, instead of pointing elsewhere, is just continuing to build a better, more cohesive nation.
FOUR eyes. New Zealand was the first to drop out. And not everybody believes Adrien Zenz.
So true Buzz and so sickening to me.
I gave up on both political parties some time ago.
Both have become way to radicalized for my taste.
And only ignorant fools believe everything they read.
