Thanks, God.
God isn’t real, and he had nothing to do with this.
This thing was 99.99% created in a lab through gain of function research and escaped, and the Chinese went into coverup mode immediately and as the emails that were released via FOIA law suites showed - the US citizens with ties to that lab- namely Peter Daszak- and the people at the NIH who fund his grants- Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins immediately went into damage control, crisis management, lie lie lie, suppress fact mode and sway public opinion mode.
We know for a fact the NIH funded grants to EcoHealth Alliance and we know for a fact that EcoHealth Alliance was using money from those grants to fund gain of function research in the Wuhan virology lab. These are just matter of fact- and fact that Fauci and the NIH have not been honest about until they got caught with their pants down and had to admit it.
I was never the biggest Obama fan, but one thing about the guy- he was super intelligent and very sharp. He knew this gain of function crap was too risky and something like this could happen so he had his administration shut down all funding of grants to gain of function research effective immediately and put a ban on it indefinitely.
It wasn’t until late 2017 in the Trump administration when Fauci was able to go around that administrations back and reboot and kick start NIH gain of function research all over again. Josh Rogin of the Washington Post wrote a book on this. Fascinating stuff, I suggest you read it.
