Defector Provides Evidence That the Chinese Military Orchestrated the Creation of COVID-19 and Lab Leak
[Red state] One week ago we reported that a man believed to be the highest-ranking Chinese defector ever was working with the Defense Intelligence Agency and that he had direct knowledge of special weapons programs in China, including bioweapons programs. We also reported that the defector provided an extensive, technically detailed debrief to US officials, that the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) was able to corroborate very technical details of the information provided, and that in DIA’s assessment, the information provided by the defector is legitimate.

RedState has now learned some details of the information provided by the defector, including that he provided data proving that SARS-CoV-2 was manmade and leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in addition to evidence confirming that the People’s Liberation Army managed the Wuhan program (and others), as Chinese virologist Yan Li-Meng told the FBI last year.

Technical details provided by the defector, RedState is told, were given to scientists (who were not told how that information was given to the government) who then re-analyzed data from published sources in conjunction with the new data and concluded that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was engineered. And, the defector was able to confirm numerous non-public details Yan provided the US government.

Pause for a moment and consider this. Our government now has additional evidence that a virus that killed 600,000 Americans, sickened millions more, nearly destroyed our economy, and inflicted untold collateral damage, was a bioweapon created by the Chinese military and deliberately released.

I say "additional" evidence because the FBI has had some of this evidence for more than a year and the person who brought it forward has only been subjected to a thorough smear campaign for her efforts — which is highly relevant when attempting to understand the newest defector’s actions.

#1 I strongly doubt, lab leak was deliberate.

#2 

Where the CCP is concerned, I doubt nothing until they proven innocent.

How many odd new viruses have come from the Eur-Asia breeding ground?

How many just happened around critical US National Election times? eg. C-19/21 happened just as we were getting underway for real part of the 2020 Elections. Where President Trump who was playing hard ball with the CCP and making them toe a line for the 1st time since Nixon.

So I can see a scenario where the CCP would want to disrupt the World Economy, skew US Elections results, all while trimming a few million of its Elderly population in the process.

#3 Agreed, G(r)om. Did they create it - about 95% sure. If they did an intentional release, why would they pick a place in China, next to the lab they developed it in? It would have been much more effective to have the original cases appear at Fort Riley.

#4 American labs don't work with that virus. It would be immediately obvious it was a biological attack. Wuhan is the only known lab to work with very similar viruses.

#5 Ulu__ I suggested Fort Riley because it was supposedly the center of the initial outbreak of the 1918 Flu epidemic. It was never a research center. You may be thinking of Fort Detrick.

#6 China created it, the release in Wuhan was accidental (maybe while preparing to release it elsewhere) and everything else is just 'danger opportunity'
