On Wednesday, Fox News’ Bret Baier reported the stunning news that officials have “increasingly high confidence” the COVID-19 pandemic originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a Level 4 biological testing lab located in Wuhan, China. My colleague, Bonchie, posted about this last night here.
Baier appeared on “Hannity” last night to discuss the information he has learned. His sources believe the virus was accidentally transferred from a bat to an intern working at the lab (patient zero) who unknowingly began spreading the virus into the population of Wuhan.
During Sean Hannity’s opening, he said, according to multiple sources, in their efforts to cover up the origins of the virus, “the Chinese erased data, destroyed samples, doctors and journalists disappeared, and China shut down domestic travel to and from Wuhan, but they did not stop international flights to and from Wuhan. In other words, they protected their own country, but were willing to expose the rest of the world knowing the risks.”
The sources also told Baier that the World Health Organization (WHO) assisted China in their cover-up efforts. Both China and the WHO deny these allegations. //
If it is proven that the CCP stopped air traffic to and from Wuhan to contain the spread of the virus, but continued to allow travel from Wuhan to foreign countries, it would be a game-changer. China will truly become a pariah on the global stage. I can’t imagine anything President Xi could say or do to redeem himself.
The other major takeaway from this story, if true, is it would become clear that China’s attempts to accuse the U.S. of bringing the virus to Wuhan were an outright lie. We know that, of course, but this would prove it beyond any reasonable doubt. Maybe Democrats would finally believe it too.
