According to a new report, the administration of President Joe Biden suppressed information from U.S. intelligence agencies that suggested a lab leak in communist China was the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After the 9/11 assaults, Jason Bannan, who holds a Ph.D. in microbiology, joined the FBI to enhance its proficiency in the areas of biological and chemical weapons.
The FBI was the sole government agency to determine that a laboratory breach was the most probable cause of the pandemic, and they maintained a “moderate level of confidence” in their assessment.
Four additional government departments expressed their conviction that the pandemic was zoonotic in nature, indicating that it originated from animals.
Three months after Biden ordered a 90-day assessment to ascertain the origin of the pandemic, National Intelligence Director Avril Haines briefed Biden in August 2021. The FBI was not invited to attend the meeting.
The investigation conducted by the Wall Street Journal revealed that officials in the Biden administration attempted to prevent specific information regarding the lab breach theory from being disclosed to the public.
Additionally, the FBI was not the sole agency that believed the pandemic originated in a Chinese lab.
Adrienne Keen, a State Department official who had previously worked privately for the U.N.’s World Health Organization (WHO), urged the serious consideration of the WHO’s report on the origins of the pandemic.
The WHO was prevented by China from examining critical evidence to ascertain the origin of the outbreak, and it was determined that the pandemic was caused by a zoonotic agent.
The Trump administration withdrew from the WHO due to its failure to hold China accountable for its numerous falsehoods about COVID-19 and its promotion of disinformation from China regarding the pandemic.
Keen resigned from the State Department to assume the position of director for Global Health Security at the National Intelligence Council.
The report stated that FBI experts supported the thesis of Yu Ping, a scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which posited that the specific coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic was not indigenous to Hubei province, the region in which Wuhan is situated.
Bats located in Yunnan, which is nearly a thousand miles distant, are infected with that particular coronavirus. According to the theory, the initial detection of COVID-19 cases should have occurred in the region between Yunnan and Wuhan, where hundreds of millions of individuals reside, if the zoonotic origin theory is accurate.
The initial instances were reported in Wuhan, which is situated in close proximity to the WIV, and no cases were identified there.
The report stated that Keen vigorously opposed this theory and contended that the absence of cases was irrelevant. She asserted that the Chinese lacked the surveillance capabilities to identify epidemics in those regions, a claim that the FBI refuted.
According to prominent scientists at the National Center for Medical Intelligence, which is affiliated with the Defense Intelligence Agency, the coronavirus was genetically modified in a Chinese laboratory, and the pandemic was the result of a laboratory breach.
The institute is tasked with the analysis of health threats to the U.S. military, such as infectious diseases and biological weapons.
