| First People Sickened By COVID-19 Were Chinese Scientists At Wuhan Institute Of Virology, Say US Government Sources |
| 2023-06-15 |
| [Substack] After years of official pronouncements to the contrary, significant new evidence has emerged that strengthens the case that the SARS-CoV-2 virus accidentally escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). According to multiple U.S. government officials interviewed as part of a lengthy investigation by Public and Racket, the first people infected by the virus, "patients zero," included Ben Hu, a researcher who led the WIV’s "gain-of-function" research on SARS-like coronaviruses, which increases the infectiousness of viruses. More than three years after the pandemic’s outbreak, many around the world had given up on learning the origin of SARS-CoV-2, the highly infectious respiratory virus that has killed millions, and the response to which shut down businesses and schools, upended societies, and caused enormous collateral damage. Public officials in the U.S. and other countries have repeatedly suggested that uncovering the pandemic’s origin may not be possible. "We may never know," said Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who oversaw pandemic response for two administrations. Now, answers increasingly look within reach. Sources within the US government say that three of the earliest people to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 were Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. All were members of the Wuhan lab suspected to have leaked the pandemic virus. As such, not only do we know there were WIV scientists who had developed COVID-19-like illnesses in November 2019, but also that they were working with the closest relatives of SARS-CoV-2, and inserting gain-of-function features unique to it. When a source was asked how certain they were that these were the identities of the three WIV scientists who developed symptoms consistent with COVID-19 in the fall of 2019, we were told, "100%" |

| #8 The virus had to have a disease vector to spread across the globe. Those poor bastards who worked in the lab were selected by the CCP to serve that purpose. |

| #7 America hasn't been the same since that miserable little runt bastard started lying to us, advocating bullshit, meaningless ineffective fixes that were far worse than the virus itself to the overall population, and spent countless hours having his pompous little-man ego stroked for years as he made money on the side. He needs to spend a lot of time in prison! |

| #6 Of course, it was just a conspiracy theory then. Flat Earth Science! denier. But yeah, first people sickened by The Covid were the ones who funded it. "Hey, that is a good idea, here's some money for it." |

| #5 Maybe they all ate from the same bat meat sandwich batch out of the vending machine in the Lab break room. |

| #4 I remember the Lab scientists 'disappearing' in late 2019 being noted here at the 'burg quite early in 2020. Of course, it was just a conspiracy theory then. |

| #3 So when will, we the victims, see a class action lawsuit against China? It should be worth a few $$ Trillion at the least. Which part of could also be used to wipe out the US - China related Nation Debt. BUT! Let us not forget the Pharmaceutical industry that just happened to have billions of Vax-ccident doses ready within a month or so. All to make $$$ Billions from this initially claimed Bat Wet-Market source, but now admitted WUHAN Lab accident? How about impeachment and criminal charges for the lying politicians? |
