A remarkable consensus has emerged in the last few weeks: Itâs no longer crazy to think that the COVID-19 pandemic was the result of a âlab leakâ in Wuhan, China.
Just to set the stage, the lab-leak theory isnât that China deliberately unleashed the virus as some sort of biological attack. If that were the plan, it seems unlikely that Chinese leaders would deploy this bioweapon on their own people first.

WILLIAMS (on camera): Jesse, yesterday on the show we were talking about
how the U.S. is ready to get out and party, we are optimistic but now it s
like we are not only ready to party but we are ready to pounce. I m

COVID pressure, what do you think is going on?
Outside the Wuhan Institute of Virology, February 2021
(Thomas Peter/Reuters) An intelligence-community report on the question as summarized by President Biden just won’t cut it.
Some will find comfort in Wednesday’s news that Joe Biden has ordered the intelligence community to complete a review of COVID-19’s origins in the next 90 days. They should not. While a U.S.-led inquiry is an improvement on the prior approach of farming out the inquiry to the hopelessly compromised World Health Organization, the new Biden effort smacks of damage control. The choice of investigative tools is aimed at controlling what the public learns and how it is framed, rather than at exposing the truth.

National Review’s Jim Geraghty explains how the origins of COVID in Wuhan may go all the way back to 2012, beginning with six miners in a bat cave filled with feces.
His explanation also points out the absurdity of the ‘natural’ spread of COVID theory being promoted by China.
And the Arbiters of Truth kicked people off social media platforms for daring to suggest this might even be possible.
