But that's Waaacist!

Fly away little bird
Bat flu escaped from a Chinese lab. Trump said it all along, as was thoroughly dismissed. Last week our own intelligence service told the Brits that ‘a growing body of evidence” showed that the man-made bug had escaped, and that claim was dismissed by the media and all right-thining people.
The case that the coronavirus pandemic ravaging the globe may very well have been engineered in a lab is thoroughly fleshed out over the course of 12,000 words by Nicholson Baker. Here are the ten biggest revelations you need to know:
Anthony Fauci Was Directly Involved In Programs That Funded SARS Mutation Research
In the early 2000’s, Dr. Anthony Fauci, America’s top infectious disease expert, reportedly shifted his focus from an AIDS vaccine to combatting biological warfare. By 2003, his anti-terrorism budget at the National Institute of Health had reached nearly $2 billion. A significant chunk of this funding, and NIH research, went to genetically modifying certain pathogens, both in search of vaccines and to investigate their possible use as bioweapons.
Scientists raised red flags about these “gain-of-function” (GoF) experiments, arguing the danger of creating new, deadly, highly transmissible diseases outweighed any possible benefits. “The consequences, should the virus escape, are too devastating to risk,” read a 2012 New York Times editorial.
Fauci disagreed, co-authoring a Washington Post op-ed which argued, “Important information and insights can come from generating a potentially dangerous virus in the laboratory.”
National Institute Of Health Money Directly Flowed To The Wuhan Bat Lab
The research lab at the center of the pandemic in Wuhan, China’s only level-4 biomedical research facility, received funding from the United States. The essay reports Shi Zhengli, China’s “bat woman” expert on diseases carried by the flying animals, had some of her work funded by the NIH and the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
Funding for Shi was secured through grants from those two organizations with the help of a non-profit called EcoHealth. The head of EcoHealth is Peter Daszak, who allegedly played an instrumental role in directing NIH funds to Shi’s Wuhan lab.
Chinese Scientists Feared The Virus Came From The Wuhan Lab
It has been previously reported that Shi admitted she had “not slept a wink for days” for fear that the virus infecting thousands of people might have escaped her lab. While she claims to have determined with certainty it did not, other Chinese scientists sounded alarms before being quieted.
Botao Xiao, a professor at the South China University of Technology, published a paper in Feb. 2020 which stated, “The killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.” His paper was removed from the server on which it was published.
There’s much more at the link, but this post is already too long. It’ll be interesting to see how many other false claims about Trump will be walked back by the TDS media now that he’s going. For instance, yesterday, a CNN analyst admitted that “the dirty little secret … was that the Trump administration was pretty tough on the Russians”
Stay tuned.
