New Report In Lab Leak Indicates This Could Be The Biggest US Intelligence Scandal Since 9/11
A new update in the lab leak COVID origin theory indicates the pandemic may be one of the biggest failures of the US intelligence community since 9/11.
News broke that four lab workers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology become incredibly ill and needed hospitalization in November of 2019.
The Wall Street Journal got a hold of a January State Department fact sheet from the Trump Administration that showed researchers were sick and needed medical attention, a few weeks later China reported they were dealing with an outbreak.
According to the WSJ, the intelligence community still does not know what caused the researchers illness and Washington Post reporter, Josh Rogin says that’s a huge problem. In the thread below Rogin explains and begs his buddies in the mainstream media to stop being fooled by the deep state like they were during Russia gate.
Suffice to say, the US intelligence community doesn’t know much at all, there’s a gap, they weren’t watching these labs. That doesn’t mean the lab leak theory is any less plausible. It just means we need a new, independent investigation into the labs. https://t.co/xp2sDvoFvL

The question the intelligence community (and the Biden) administration should be able to answer is: what were the sick researchers working on? Was it bat coronaviruses that infect humans? That would be relevant to me. Also, where are they now? Are they OK?

And why is the Biden administration leaving it to tiny leaks from the intelligence community, which only sow confusion. It’s irresponsible. @SecBlinken and @jakejsullivan should declassify and release the Jan 15 statement underlying evidence now, in the interest of public health.

And guys, LISTEN. We can’t repeat the mistakes of Russia-gate where we overhype every “intelligence community officials say” snowflake. The Covid origin question is a YUGE US intelligence community failure. Their level of confidence in their own assessments are irrelevant.

The lab leak theory implicates the IC because, if it’s true, they TOTALLY MISSED IT. $80 billion per year and nobody was watching this network of Chinese labs working with the military on risky virus research. That’s the biggest intel scandal since 9/11.

Rogin has been one of the few members of the MSM that has championed the lab leak theory and let’s remember even the WSJ is doing a 180; last year they attacked the Trump administration.
Daily reminder the @WSJ attacked Trump and Pompeo last year for their reports on the Wuhan lab
WSJ wishes they could roll this one back but they can’t rewrite history https://t.co/B7Eh80M0a6

A little over a year ago President Trump announced the US had intelligence that the coronavirus may have accidentally leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

However, the President was flanked by the deep state who wanted to weaken him.

This is the moment when the mainstream media stands beneath your apartment building in front of everyone, drunk out of its mind to tell you it sees the light, after it called you a racist and crank for not believing its own absurd propaganda.
Enjoy it. The stupor will wear off.. https://t.co/8Y9E6segrL
