You do a great job of laying this out clearly. It should be required reading for members of the committees investigating the lab leak theory. Thanks!

Why are the only choices between natural origin and accidental lab leak? What about choice number three, that is was created as a bioweapon, and it was released on purpose. Why? Look at the rich people who tripled their wealth during the pandemic. Isn't that reason enough to be suspicious?

Alex? You are loved and we knew that this adieux was temporal in nature:

"Today, I’m bowing out and leaving the stage indefinitely. There are no hidden motives - as all who read me know, I wear my heart on my sleeve & speak my mind, even if that does get me into trouble sometimes. Having paused paid subscriptions indefinitely, I now wish to clarify my reasons for exiting stage left. Understanding my reasons will require understanding me & the things that typically motivate me, so I apologize ahead of time for what is a rather autobiographical post, and not your typical intellectual piece focusing attention on some impersonal issue du jour to be surgically dissected on a table for all to see. Today, I put myself on the table." https://alexwasburne.substack.com/p/be-happy-shop-at-rei

We thank you for putting yourself on the "table" back in March of this year for we knew that your ideals, ethics, and commitment to humanity's best interests would catapult you back into action when called for and make your "exiting stage left" a brief one. Let the subscriptions back into play!

Jessica you should cite Charles Rixey and Major Joe Murphy for the release of the OG DEFUSE documents. It would mean much to them.

Maybe you should set up briefing sessions for the specific Democratic representatives who don’t yet understand the point of what’s being investigated?

Apologies Alex I thought this was from Jessica Rose, she must have restacked it. Nice work regardless, thank you for the erudite summary of events.

I don't think any level of evidence will ever make Ruiz say anything negative about any pharma product. He is painful to watch.

It WASN'T a "Lab Leak"... It was a DELIBERATE RELEASE. And evidence suggests it was released in the USA, no later than Spring/Summer 2019. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2019/07/17/third-person-has-died-after-respiratory-illness-outbreak-greenspring-village-fairfax-officials-say/ See also: "Mysterious Vaping Illness" - still unsolved - identical symptoms.

This is a CIA/DoD program. The first thing that they do, when planning a Covert Operation - is they pick and establish a good "fall guy". Oswald, for instance. They use parallel tracks. So they do real Bioweapons work at Ft. Detrick and Dugway - and dozens of other labs around the world - like in Ukraine and Georgia http://dilyana.bg/project-g-2101-pentagon-biolab-discovered-mers-and-sars-like-coronaviruses-in-bats/ . Then they mirror that work, in many ways, in a place like Wuhan's Oswald Institute of Virology. And THEN - they make sure to start the timeline on things, once they release it nearby to the "fall guy".

The investigations are important - but they're not looking in the right areas to find the real culprits - and they never will. Blaming China (whom we were already engaged in a "Hybrid War" with, by the Summer of 2019) - was always the inevitable fallback plan. Like blaming Saudi Arabia for "9/11". It's a red herring - designed to prevent the investigation from looking in the right direction - which is in Langley and Arlington and DC.

There was also the outbreak of a mysterious respiratory illness ahead of the "pandemic" at the Green Springs assisted living estate in Maryland, not too far from Ft Detrick...

For some reason it won't let me "like" either of these replies. But I do.

Yes. Click the first link in my comment. That's the Washington Post talking about "the Greenspring Outbreak". I think it's maybe an hour away from Ft. Detrick... So that suggests a deliberate release, as part of a test within nursing home environments. It looks like it was a success. So successful that Andrew "Sonny" Cuomo and Gavin Newscum both implemented the policy of placing infected patients into the midst of such vulnerable populations and situations.

I have a Fauci Votive above my toilet so I can be reminded of him every time I sit on it. One of my wife’s friends who is educated but stupid noted the votive and I told her the reason it’s there. She responded that she supported him for all his good actions during the pandemic. He is currently touring the country giving talks on how he saved this country. I am pessimistic that he will ever face a national humiliation he deserves.

Expand full comment

It will be a shame if Fauci goes down in history as having saved the country. But sometimes I hear about additional vaccines that are or will be pushed--for RSV and annual shots for Covid. And the WHO may be given control over management of future pandemics. That's really scary.

A close family friend , fit and active , was in C19 trial and got three new bp drugs and worsened IBS and gluten issues. She then did the new RSV one , got the symptoms - fever , joint pain , sore throat , cough , and collapsed in her kitchen.

Sepsis , stroke , etc

She will not live independently if she survives.

Great article Alex.

You say DEFUSE PIs cooperated on a funding call in 2019. Is that CREID? My understanding is while Baric, Linfa, Daszak & co worked together on CREID, Shi and the WIV weren't part of it. Isn't this significant for your narrative here?

On your important point about why isn't this being pursued by eg the FBI, clearly they've all been told not to.

“The FBI is off the reservation” I believe someone said. Strangely, the FBI is unique in its ability to handle US person’s information, so one wonders what line they crossed to go “off-rez”

USRTK noted https://usrtk.org/covid-19-origins/cables-wuhan-institute-of-virology-classified-research/?mc_cid=125ccb814b&mc_eid=26ea7ed53e that in Jan 2021 federal agencies opposed making intelligence about the WIV and GOF public because it "called out actions that we ourselves are doing”. This is surely why federal agencies will not touch this.

'Both ODNI and the Department of Health and Human Services — which sent subgrants to the Wuhan lab complex via the NIH — voiced opposition to declassifying certain intelligence related to the pandemic’s origins in January 2021, according to a separate email https://usrtk.org/covid-19-origins/wuhan-institute-of-virology-info-could-raise-questions/ obtained by U.S. Right to Know.

'Officials voiced concerns https://usrtk.org/covid-19-origins/wuhan-institute-of-virology-info-could-raise-questions/ that publicly questioning research at the Wuhan lab complex “called out actions that we ourselves are doing” and “demanded access that we ourselves would never provide.”'

Could the Lab Leak issue actually be a ruse to waste enormous effort chasing seriously dysfunctional people who don't know what an ethics office is there for? Of course Labs could be doing Gain of Function research for battlefield use which is the only reasons to do such effort - Who wants to enhance a pathogen to release into the general population? Psychopaths maybe?

The so called SARS-Cov-2 possible Virus just may have been developed in a computer programme by compiling genetic 'reads' of biological material, or any other of the 'junk' tossed in the mix during preparation, to 'identify' a virus. And with thousands of possible 'results' to choose from well of course there was one (or ten maybe) that were close enough to do the job, whatever that job may have been. Make it look real perhaps?

Did anyone notice that SARS means a Syndrome which in medical terms i believes indicates the origin is uncertain if not unknown? And yet in less than one month from first possible unusual Flu case in China (out of millions?) a 'virus' was not only suspected but was classified as the agent - and then there were more within 18 months as variants, so many variants were called into the game.

It's a SCAM - pure and simple, a SCAM. The whole stinking mess.

With all the evidence pouring in that Covid 19 was, in fact, primarily the work of US scientists funded by the US government, is it only a matter of time before other countries start demanding reparations for the harms their people endured?

They wouldn’t be wrong to expect the country responsible for their suffering and damage to pay for causing it.

Thank you for this. Adds nicely to the increasing publications in the medical journals, against the mainstream jab narratives, involving the likes of the BMJ's Peter Doshi, and myself: https://okaythennews.substack.com/p/science-summary-covid-19-vaccines
