Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Tuesday the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China is the "only" credible explanation for the pandemic that has claimed millions of lives around the world. "My informed assessment as a person with as much access as anyone to our government's intelligence 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 told the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. "If our intelligence and evidence supporting a lab leak was placed side by side with our intelligence and evidence pointing to a natural origins or spillover theory, the lab leak side of the ledger would be long, convincing, even overwhelming while the spillover side would be nearly empty and tenuous," added Ratcliffe, a former Texas Republican congressman who served as former President Donald Trump's second and last director of national intelligence. Since leaving government in 2021, Ratcliffe has repeatedly accused China's ruling Communist Party of orchestrating a "massive cover-up" of its role in the pandemic. moar |

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
Made in several labs around the world, including ours. Released intentionally over the span of three years to cull the population and get individuals to inject themselves with a sterilizing gene therapy. Patents are tethered to movie release dates. Leaked messages incriminate high-level British political figures. Evidence is cherry-picked to paint a specific narrative. And everybody still thinks it's only China. You guys makes me laugh every single day. When they release the next one this year, you'll understand something.

I can't believe anyone bought the "wet market" story. I mean in a city where development of a virus is going on it just happens to have such a virus emerge? Please. I can't see how it would be to CCPs benefit to release the virus but maybe I'm not thinking creatively enough. |

"We are only looking at viral families that include those that have gone into people from animals. And so we narrow it down straight away. Then, when you get a sequence of a virus and it looks like a relative of a known nasty pathogen, just like we did with SARS, we found other coronaviruses in bats, a whole host of them. Some of them looked very similar to SARS. So we sequenced the spike protein, the protein that attaches to cells. Then we, well I didn't do this work, but my colleagues in China did the work. You create pseudo particles, you insert the spike proteins from those viruses and see if they bind to human cells. Each step of this, you move closer and closer to this virus could really become pathogenic in people. So you narrow down the field, you reduce the cost, and you end up with a small number of viruses that really do look like killers." -Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance February 2016 |

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FumltgIWcAEt4um?format=png&name=small He's doing it because 1.) he knows he's protected and untouchable, and 2.) there's a concerted effort to discredit anything except the natural, wet market origin "theory" by several intelligence agencies. Man-made lab leak vs. wet market natural origin keeps all eyes off of the prize (man-made, released intentionally by numerous countries). They're doubling-down and sticking to the natural origin theory. It's mostly working. People are too retarded or don't want to believe that they intentionally released synthetic, gene-targeting bioweapons into the wild and are continuing to do so until everyone is mentally unstable/ill from the damage, vaxxed, dying, or dead. Fun times ahead. |

Released accidentally, spread on purpose. Certainly them sending Chinese nationals on flights internationally while shutting down their own domestic travel would tend to bolster that argument.
