Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, January 25, 2025

WASHINGTON"The Central Intelligence Agency has now concluded that the deadly Covid-19 pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, lending credibility to a view that has been the focus of sharp debate among scientists and politicians for years.

In doing so, the CIA has now joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Energy Department in identifying a laboratory mishap in Wuhan, China, as the probable source of the Covid-19 virus. It has killed more than 1.2 million Americans and over seven million people worldwide.

"CIA assesses with low confidence that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin based on the available body of reporting," an agency spokesman said in a statement released Saturday.

Wuhan leaked it and fauci gave our money to fund it. Oh well Biden pardoned Fauci and covered for China. Hunter probably got a payoff.

I don't know of any monetary exchange between Biden and Fauci. That sounds like conspiracy theory. Biden did make "random" calls to his son during important meetings to display Hunters connection to power. I'm certain money was exchanged due to this kind of influence.

What alarm me the most is that now we have some "credibility" on this deliberate weaponization scheme, they also had several vaccines prepared in just weeks after it's "discovery". The world is being lied to.

What aspects Fauci was involved with is extremely relevant.

No new information, but there appears to be a gathering of evidence that was suppressed prior to the official narrative.

China will undoubtedly deny all activities.

People were arrested, accosted and killed.

I remember seeing streets lined with plastic bags filled with suffocated pets.

Chinese governance has reason to fear their population and lie publicly.

TikTok is strictly controlled in China, that is what Trump wants here.

Nope.

Low confidence.

I actually know the evidence for it against origins. I don't need an alphabet agency (that y'all supposedly don't trust anyway ... ) to tell me.

It's widely considered speculative among the sciences, even without any connection, evidence or behavior indicating otherwise.

In fact, the very scientists charged with studying this virus also happened to be the first to show symptoms of infection and were searching Google for help.

Probably because they "don't need an alphabet agency to tell them."

Nonsense. The most of that been released is people who worked at the labs sought treatment for vague respiratory symptoms.

During flu season.

Funny...I thought most people with common sense already believed it was a lab leak.

It would be like having a major oil spill next to an oil refinery and expecting people to believe it was a natural occurance.

Low confidence does not a great assurance make. Oh and oil spills next to oil refinery can be caused naturally. Just sayin

Laura,

Trump did say a problem with America these days is a growing lack of common sense.

How does that go...Occam's Razor?

Nope. It says it twice within the first two paragraphs of the article, dips*&^.

Also, shocker. New CIA director from Trump who was a vocal proponent of lab origins gets approved early last week and suddenly *poof* low confidence 'it was the lab' is released.

You're an idiot. Doubly so for speaking on this even though you don't have a clue.

Common sense is code for bulls*&^ and is the argument of choice for people who are ignorant but think they have a place to speak.

Trump is a stupid pile of ---- and so are you for parroting his stupidity.

You're reaching, just as you did when you constantly assured us there was voter fraud and 2020 was StOleNzZ even though there was no evidence of it.

Notice that BillJohnson stopped talking about mail-in ballots and mail-in voting since Trump won?? Funny thing that.

Yup. An entirely predictable response from someone dumb enough to buy a Bible from Donald f*&^ing Trump.

So far we know that symptom searches were predating hospitalizations or recognized infections.

A U.S. intelligence report identified three researchers at a Wuhan lab who sought treatment at a hospital after falling ill in November 2019, a source familiar with the matter tells NBC News.
The new details, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, add to the body of circumstantial evidence that supports a hypothesis that the Covid-19 virus may have spread to humans after it escaped from a Chinese research lab in Wuhan. ..
..
"The U.S. government has reason to believe that several researchers inside the WIV became sick in autumn 2019, before the first identified case of the outbreak, with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illnesses. This raises questions about the credibility of WIV senior researcher Shi Zhengli's public claim that there was 'zero infection' among the WIV's staff and students of SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-related viruses," the fact sheet said.
..
"The most important implications of this would be to show that Wuhan Institute of Virology director Shi Zhengli was not being truthful when she said that no one in the institute had been ill in that time period," said Jamie Metzl, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and a former national security official in the Clinton administration, who has been calling for an investigation into the lab theory.

Which is exactly what I said...

And exactly why that "evidence" isn't very strong in supporting anything other than people got sick at a time when seasonal illness is the norm.

The thing is, we know it was Covid-19, and that the lab was their first point of infection.

This unsophisticated doppleganger story is blatant obfuscation, but that so many vaccines specific to this weaponized Covid-19 were also in abundance.

I guess you can't spell "lobotomy".. without a scalpel.
