Leaked Emails Show Wuhan Labs Using Lao Bat Virus That Is Nearly Identical to COVID-19
[legal Insurrection] Newly leaked emails from the U.S. government indicate that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was studying coronaviruses found in bats from Laos in the months before the pandemic.

This revelation indicates that a lab-leak origin for SARS-Cov-2 virus (the pathogen causing COVID-19) is a strong possibility.

In September, scientists discovered Banal-52, a coronavirus found in Lao bats, which shares 96.8 percent of its genome with Sars-Cov-2.

The striking similarity between the two coronaviruses led scientists to speculate that the Lao bat strain could have somehow given rise to Sars-Cov-2.

But there was one glaring problem: how could a virus originating in bats living in Laos spark an outbreak in Wuhan over 1000 miles away?

That puzzle might now have been solved, as leaked emails between EcoHealth Alliance and US government funders reveal viral samples from Lao bats were being collected and sent for study in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Back in September, Nature published news of the Laos bat virus discovery, pushing it as proof of its "natural origin". Yet, a few critical aspects were suggestive of lab manipulation.

Who knew? A bilateral 'Gain of Function' project? There goes my Wet Market theory.
