The title of this week’s offering comes courtesy of The New York Post.  I couldn’t think of a better one.I hate to say “I told you so,” but frequenters of these pages will recall that the notion that Covid-19, a/k/a the Wuhan virus, unleashed a plague on the world after it was released from the laboratory in Wuhan, China, has not come as a revelation.  I claim no medical expertise, nor do I claim prescience.  One didn’t need to be Nostradamus to know where the virus came from.  One merely had to be honest enough to accept the truth that was staring him in the face.  In the Fall of 2019, a new virus broke out in Wuhan.  In early 2020, at the time of the Chinese Lunar New Year, the virus spread from China to every part of the globe visited by Chinese travelers.  For example, after the New Year celebrations, the thousands of Chinese engaged in the fashion industry in Northern Italy returned to that country.  Lunar New Year was January 25, and in February, hundreds were hospitalized in Milan and the city was shut down.  I noticed this, and it wasn’t just me.  In June 2021, liberal Jon Stewart took flak for suggesting the lab was the source of the virus.  “Oh, my God, there’s a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we do?  Oh, you know who we could ask?  The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab.  The disease is the same name as the lab.  That’s just a little too weird, don’t you think?”  Wuhan is the site of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a laboratory used by the Chinese military for “gain of function” research to engineer new viruses.  Contrary to Dr. Fauci’s denials, the U.S. government provided some of the funding for this research.  This is neither speculation nor a conspiracy theory.  It was well known to the U.S. government throughout the period when Democrats hid the truth and tried to destroy anyone who suggested the virus came from the lab.  I came across a stunningly honest Fact Sheet from the U.S. State Department dated January 15, 2021.  You can read it yourselves at https://2017-2021.state.gov/fact-sheet-activity-at-the-wuhan-institute-of-virology/index.html.  It says that workers in the Wuhan lab contracted Covid and spread it in Wuhan, and posits that it was the result of a lab accident, noting that such accidents had happened before.  It also noted the use of the Wuhan lab by the Chinese military for “classified experiments.”  I guess it was safe for the State Department to issue the Fact Sheet in 2021, because they had managed to get rid of President Trump by then.  It must be recalled that throughout 2020, and even after the State Department report in 2021, Democrats, including those entrenched in the Deep State bureaucracy, were dismissing any suggestions of a Wuhan lab leak as “racist conspiracy theories.”  Plus, of course, whatever Trump said had to be denounced, even if it would cost American lives.  When President Trump halted flights from China to the U.S. he was called xenophobic.  Medical professionals who dared to accept reality were sanctioned.  Dr. Fauci and his allies took steps to silence and defund dissenters.  But suddenly, this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Department of Energy and the FBI have concluded that the Wuhan virus came from the lab in Wuhan.  Better late than never, I guess.  FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed that the FBI, “for quite some time now, assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan.”  Wray added, “the Chinese government, it seems to me, has been doing its best to try to thwart and obfuscate the work here … and that’s unfortunate for everybody.”  Doing harm and then covering it up is what’s known in the law as consciousness of guilt.  The fact that Fauci and his cohorts who funded the Wuhan research are aiding and abetting the coverup raises a legitimate question as to their complicity with the Chinese.  The recent revelations go only so far as stating the likelihood of a “lab accident.”  Hong Kong virologist Dr. Li Meng Yan went further, telling Tucker Carlson, first in September 2020, and again this week, that the Chinese government intentionally manufactured and released the COVID-19 virus, leading to nationwide shutdowns and deaths.  Dr. Li added, “Of course, it was not an accident.”  The doctor said that she has seen evidence and has spoken to a source who claims the virus was intentionally brought out of the lab and released in the community.  She added, “I don’t think the outbreak in Wuhan was intentional.  I would say it was because CCP government and the military scientists underestimated the transmissibility.” “That’s why finally it got out of control and the cost [was] a local outbreak.  However, we should know that [the] CCP government intentionally let it go all over the world to kill millions of people.”  If you think this is farfetched, think again.  The U.S. government has done the same thing here.  From the 1950’s to 1969, the Navy sprayed bacteria, including serratia mascarans over San Francisco to study the possible affects of a biological attack.  The bacteria, thought to be harmless, caused rare infections.  And the revelations just kept coming.  The British medical journal,  The Lancet, which had been participating in the medical smear campaign against doctors who doubted the effectiveness of Covid vaccines, finally has admitted that a review of 65 world-wide studies proves that natural immunity from Covid infection is at least as good as two doses of the vaccine.  Too bad we fired all those police, firemen, medical workers, and military personnel who had the Wuhan but refused the vaccines.  And there’s more.  Another review of studies on the usefulness of face masks (both cloth and N-95 masks) concluded that wearing any kind of face covering “probably makes little or no difference” in reducing the spread of respiratory illness.  The study summed up, “There is just no evidence that they make any difference.  Full stop.”  Again, I hate to say “I told you so,” but I made this very point on these pages in April 2021, in a FOF entitled, Covidiocy.  “There’s no science supporting universal masking.  Dr. Jim Meehan, a surgeon and editor of a medical journal says the premise that surgeons wearing masks proves that ‘masks must work to prevent viral transmission’ is false.”  But Bill Maher said it best, “We have to cover our faces so others can cover their asses.”  Well said.  All in all, I hope that this recent spate of honesty about the Wuhan plague continues.  It’s high time people knew the truth.
