Does Anyone STILL Believe COVID Didn't Come From A Lab Leak?

The only thing ABSURD is when an ignorant person becomes a dancing little apologist based on being kept ignorant by a corrupt democrat press and social media!

Here is a BIG CLUE:

If it did not come from the Chinese lab and would not hurt the politicians who approved/paid for the research on the virus NO ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN BANNED FOR RAISING THAT POSIBILITY. None of the Chinese doctors who blew the whistle would be DEAD or MISSING. China would have allowed us into the country to look for the evidence.

Now go suck your thumb in the corner with a dunce cap on. AND PLEASE BE TRUE TO YOUR WORD:

"Just gonna try one last time to put this down." I have not cleaned up the vomit yet.

 

Congratulations to @GeneWright.

Let's all be grateful. It appears that he is a man of his word!

 

Wet-market advocates should probably re-examine their beliefs and follow the science. Just sayin'.


April 17, 2023

EXCLUSIVE: Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe says the "only explanation" and "plausible assessment" for the COVID-19 global pandemic is a leak from a Chinese Communist Party-controlled lab, citing U.S. intelligence and "numerous, diverse and unassailable" sources for the information.

Fox News exclusively obtained Ratcliffe’s prepared testimony ahead of his appearance before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

FOX NEWS POLL: MAJORITY SAYS BIDEN TRYING TO COVER UP ORIGINS OF COVID-19

Ratcliffe, who was confirmed to serve as director of national intelligence in May 2020—during the pandemic—is expected to deliver an unclassified overview of what the intelligence community learned about the origins of COVID-19.

Ratcliffe is also expected to say the Biden administration declaring the assessment would have "enormous geopolitical implications" that they "seemingly" do "not want to face head-on."

"My informed assessment, as a person with as much or more access than anyone to our government’s intelligence during the initial year of the virus outbreak and pandemic onset, has been and continues to be that a lab leak is the only explanation credibly supported by our intelligence, by science and by common sense," Ratcliffe is expected to say.

Ratcliffe will explain that if U.S. intelligence and evidence supporting a lab leak theory was placed "side-by-side with our intelligence and evidence pointing to a naturally occurring ‘spillover; theory, the lab leak side of the ledger would be long and overwhelming while the ‘spillover’ side would be nearly empty."

Ratcliffe will point to China’s obstruction of investigations into the origins and will say China is "incapable of offering a single shred of exculpatory evidence."

"The intelligence community’s sources for the information are numerous, diverse and unassailable," Ratcliffe will say.

Ratcliffe is also expected to detail the "challenges" he and other Trump administration officials encountered, including "legitimate concerns about the closely-held sources of our intelligence and the sensitive methods used to obtain it, as well as illegitimate roadblocks related to professional conflicts of interest and partisan politics."

Ratcliffe will say those roadblocks included "the headwinds created when a lab leak assessment was initially labeled and falsely reported with near unanimity as a "conspiracy theory" by conflicted scientists and mainstream press, while also being censored as "disinformation" by social media giants. Ratcliffe is also expected to explain that "national and electoral politics were also influencing analysis of our intelligence on China" within the intelligence community.

"To this day, the CIA, unquestionably the world’s premier spy agency with an unrivaled capacity to acquire information and near limitless resources to do so, has continued to state that it does not have enough information to make any formal assessment," Ratcliffe will say. "To put it bluntly, this is unjustifiable—and a reflection not that the agency can’t make an assessment with any confidence, only that it won’t."

FBI DIRECTOR SAYS COVID PANDEMIC 'MOST LIKELY' ORIGINATED FROM CHINESE LAB

Ratcliffe will explain that the intelligence community "makes thousands of assessments every year with a fraction of the intelligence – circumstantial or otherwise – that it possesses related to COVID origins."

"The real problem is, now three-and-a-half years later, the only plausible assessment the agency could make is that a virus which killed over a million Americans originated in a Chinese Communist Party-controlled lab whose research included work for the Chinese military," Ratcliffe will say. "Such an assessment would have enormous geopolitical implications that the Biden administration seemingly does not want to face head-on."

Ratcliffe’s expected testimony comes after the House of Representatives and the Senate voted to require the Biden administration to declassify all information related to the origins of COVID-19.


President Biden signed the bipartisan bill last month, which directs ODNI to declassify intelligence related to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, citing "potential links" between the research that was done there and the outbreak of COVID-19.

In addition to Ratcliffe’s assessment last month, FBI Director Christopher Wray told Fox News that COVID-19 "most likely" came from a Chinese lab.

CCP GOVERNMENT 'INTENTIONALLY RELEASED' COVID-19 'ALL OVER THE WORLD,' CHINESE VIROLOGIST SAYS

"The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan," Wray told Fox News. "Here you are talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab."

In addition, earlier this year, the Department of Energy also concluded the pandemic likely stemmed from a lab leak.

The National Intelligence Council and four other agencies assess at "low confidence" that the COVID-19 pandemic originated due to natural transmission from an infected animal, while the CIA and another unnamed agency are undecided.

Now that Fox has reported this, I am positive it had nothing to do with a lab leak in China. That's all the proof anyone needs.

 

Bury your head in the sand. It's your usual tactic.

 

No Joe, that's merely what you need.​

 

Literally none of that article was "science"

 

You are correct. But I never said the article WAS science. I said that wet-market advocates should follow the science.

 

I do, it leads me to a naturalistic origin conclusion over a lab leak origin. By a lot. You should try it

I'm curious. Theodore, why would you get a thrill out of proving over & over & over & over that
you are extremely ignorant? OK, we all know you are politically ignorant and do not intend to become informed. Aside from your ignorance, the only reason I can imagine for anyone saying they are a right wing abuser is the feeble cry of a very old and lonely man crying out to be noticed.

News Flash: You are not an important member here as far as engaging in a useful e exchange of ideas and opinions. Your claim to usefulness is the fact that you dig up old news stories from various places but more importantly you give members her a change to shove your posts back into your pie hole until you leave the discussions.

So joe, where do you think the CHINESE virus originated?

GeneWright, joined in Chin Chin's dance to the organ grinder: "Literally none of that article was "science."

So what? Any attempt to discover the science has been blocked by Fauchi, the Biden Administration the WHO, and the Red Chinese (all the former deeply involved with the Commies)receiving Chinese money).

So Gene, where do you think the CHINESE virus originated?

 

Hey you medical genius. If it didn't come from the lab (as one dead and one missing Chinese dr. reported) why wouldn't the Chinese let investigators in to look around? The US was paying for the research. Why did Fauchi lie and send emails to his partners to cover up the origin of the research we were paying for that was banned?
IIMO, you have been lied to so much that you don't know the "truth" about anything. Smart liberals don't thing "truth" exists. That's one reason they are truly stupid!

Gene, Answer a direct question for once, then you can go back to your charts and science. Tell all of us something you believe is absolutely true.

 

I'm not rewriting it. I've covered my reasoning plenty of times before in other places, including page 1 of this thread.

 

LOL, figures. I guess you can duck behind that old article adding to the cover up.
At the least you replied and you believe it originated in China - THANK GOD!

 

You cannot reason with those that didn't use reason in the first place.

 

My "tactic" is to ignore proven liars. Fox is in court today getting their lying asses handed to them for openly, provable lies they propagated. You continue to use them as your source. How dumb do you have to be to bury your head in the sand and ignore all of that?

Answer: Pretty damn dumb.

 

Try to answer the questions of other members rather than having a conversation with yourself. That's just crazy !

Dear ignorant members who believe COVID came from outside the lab...YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!

Organic crap found outside the lab WAS BROUGHT INTO the lab. How stupid do you feel now you bunch pf Chinese Propagandists! In September US intelligence knew there was a leak at the lab (the second one) because the air handlers at the lab were changed, roadblocks were employed, and cell phone traffic from the lab decreased significantly.

 

@JoeNation, IS TRUMP A LIAR?
