Why Covid's 'lab leak' theory isn't all that crazy: Fascinating interactive map logs EVERY single biosecurity blunder of the last 100 years – including the 'Biological Chernobyl' that the Soviet Union tried to cover-up in the 70s...
2023-03-05
[MAIL] Covid leaking from a laboratory in China and then going on to devastate the world has moved from a fringe theory to the US's official narrative of the pandemic.

Just this week, Beijing fired back at claims from the FBI that the virus did emerge from the now famous Wuhan Institute of Virology.

While the jury remains out on if Covid did indeed come from a Chinese lab, the last 100 years have seen dozens of similar incidents spark outbreaks, or narrowly avoid them.

From the world's last recorded smallpox death in Birmingham in the 70s, a Soviet cover up of 'Biological Chernobyl', to extinct polio being found in a Dutch sewer in November last year, lab leaks of pathogens are not as rare as you might think.

Here, MailOnline has created a map laying bare the biosecurity blunders and near misses across the world and highlighted just 10 of the most shocking incidents and near misses in lab leak history.

#4  Each disinformation is like an Iwo Jima bunker that has to be breached.

Vaccine good
Masks good
Lab leak theory bad
No Feds in J6
No election fraud

And on, and on and on … The strategy is to exhaust us.

#2  We'd have to crazy to think any nation could have and accidental release... or deliberate one...

Just look at the issues surrounding Deer Island, NY. Lyme disease) Or, the Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, in Fort Detrick, Md Anthrax leak and the pouring and concrete to fill in parts of the building.

Or Pine Bluff, Ark. Bio-Weapon Lab, or, Horn Island and that isolated island west of Hawaii plus Russia....and others.

#1  “Conspiracies beget conspiracies.”

~ Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization at the University of Saskatchewan.

Dr. Rasmussen would surely agree the discovery of evidence and competing theories can also produce truth.
