WHO Concludes That Coronavirus “Came From Animal,” Not Wuhan Lab

Via ZeroHedge

Just two days after WaPo said it was “plausible” and “must be investigated”, and less than week after finally getting access to Wuhan’s high security virus lab (for the first time in over a year), WHO investigators have reported preliminary findings that the COVID virus came from animals, confirming China’s heavily promoted narrative and dismissing the likelihood of any leak from the lab in close proximity (a lab that is coincidentally designed to examine the world’s most dangerous pathogens and is led by virologist Shi Zhengli, known as China’s “Batwoman,” for her extensive work on bat-borne coronaviruses).

In what we estimate is the fastest investigation and findings report of any global organization ever, AP reports that WHO food safety and animal diseases expert Peter Ben Embarek made the assessment in a summation Tuesday of a WHO team’s investigation into the possible origins of the coronavirus in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the first cases were discovered in December 2019.

“Our initial findings suggest that the introduction through an intermediary host species is the most likely pathway and one that will require more studies and more specific, targeted research,”

Embarek added somewhat defensively:

“Did we change dramatically the picture we had beforehand? I don’t think so,”

“Did we improve our understanding? Did we add details to that picture? Absolutely.”

As a reminder, China has strongly denied the possibility of a leak from the lab and has promoted unproven theories that the virus may have originated elsewhere before being brought to Wuhan, including possibly on imported frozen food packaging.

The visit by the WHO team took months to negotiate after China only agreed to it amid massive international pressure at the World Health Assembly meeting last May, and Beijing has continued to deny calls for a strictly independent investigation.

Chinese authorities have kept a tight hold on information about the possible causes of the pandemic that has now sickened more than 105 million people and killed more than 2.2 million worldwide .

Perhaps most stunningly, Facebook has already updated its “False Claims About COVID-19” policies:

Today, following consultations with leading health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), we are expanding the list of false claims we will remove to include additional debunked claims about the coronavirus and vaccines. This includes claims such as:

  • COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured

So, people of the earth, do not (publicly) question these findings from WHO. It was a bat (or another species) that started the global pandemic that shut the world’s economy.

Up until now, the Biden administration has been quiet about criticizing China about the origins of the virus but has stated a “robust and clear” investigation is needed.

Antony Blinken, US secretary of state, told MSNBC that China is “falling far short of the mark” in granting access to the international community. “That lack of transparency, that lack of being forthcoming, is a profound problem, and it’s one that continues,” he said.

According to AP News, the WHO team visited the lab and spoke with officials for three hours… sounds like a full and thorough investigation to us.

Please explain how the CDC can hold a patent on a virus that supposedly occurred in the wild when this is illegal? They can only hold patents on man-made viruses.
So someone is lying.
Wonder why?
Follow the money.

Therefore, in the new normal, we can take this finding as absolute confirmation the virus came from the Wuhan lab.

I am extremely grateful for this latest news from the WHO. So should you be.

Because now I know with 100% certainty the origins of the Rona ….. it originated in the Chink lab!!!

You see, it’s like the old Soviet days of the state newspaper Pravda (meaning truth, supposedly). The Russian peeps knew that whatever Pravda printed, the opposite was the actual truth.

Yes, I am grateful to the WHO, CuNNt, Fux, NY Slimes, and all the other Diseased Donkey Dick sucking whores for making it so damned easy for us proles to know the truth.

Of course it came from an animal. Then monies that Fauci sent over, that Gates and Soros supplied, etc. helped pay to weaponize it modify it to target just the right groups, and turn it into something that would spread through the human population. They are telling what passes for the “truth” these days.

The only problem with WHO theory is there are 12 nucleotides inserted into the RONA sequence that were not put there naturally..

Bats are special animals and their bodies can indeed insert foreign nucleotides into viruses that accidentally mutate in their bodies and become virulent when the bat is cooked in a soup.

The FLCCC Alliance suggests taking Melatonin in their Covid-19 protocol. Bats, among all mammals, have the highest concentration of naturally occurring melatonin in their bodies, which is suggestive of why they can be the carriers of so many different viruses and generally not suffer.

It would not surprise to find out that if the Sars-Cov-2 virus was developed in a Chinese lab that it still might be carried in bats, just like so many other viruses.

Just read it, but I am pretty sure I wasn’t responding to anything you said, just the ones that look for all the reasons not to live an alternative lifestyle to the one currently promulgated by our betters. And you are correct, the nomad thing is much more suitable to certain times in life- as a single man it was an adventure I will never forget, the freedom of living by yourself, relying on your wits and skills without a safety net is exhilarating, but it is also lonely. I used to run into a lot of what were called snowbirds- retirees with campers who would follow the warm weather- and they were always the kindest and most helpful people you’d ever want to meet. I ate quite a few meals at other people’s table when I was out there and if it weren’t for those kinds of human contacts I don’t know if I would have been able to have lasted as long as I did.

It’s time for people to reassert their own destiny rather than to simply be carried along by whatever form of popular delusion is infecting the body politic these days and the kinds of people who take the time to read the things I bring around are almost always the kind that could do it handily. I just want to give them the kind of support and encouragement so many other people have given to me until this movement becomes a culture of its own.

RiNS caused me to go back to the off grid article to find his comment. I’m glad I did as I found HSF’s comment that I want to print out and send to my grandchildren, repeatedly.

Then saw RiNS response. I am in the same boat but not really getting started with determining what projects I can or should pursue. For the same reason too. So, I voted before for you RiNS to post stuff about your projects and I for one would appreciate that content.

I do….

here it is FWIW.

I am going back and forth about what to write. I have tried a couple of different tacts but haven’t found the one that is right. I did notice the paint on the doors had the cracks and chips painted over. There were at least four and in some cases five layers of paint. The problem I had was how to get it off. Paint before the ’70s is lead-based.

There is a metaphor in there… somewhere. Anyways I digress.

The first door is the one seen in the video. And with that door, I used a chemical stripper. The paint came off alright but still, some was left, and what there was turned into a real mess.

So decided to double back with the next ones and try something different. I settled on using a heat gun and it worked to perfection. The picture in the other thread is two of those done. The doors are not perfect, they never will be, but at least for now the lead is gone.

My 1983 door was sun damaged big time. I took a 6 inch belt sander to it and made it rustic like the Mexican furniture one sees. A coat of barn red paint and it was a keeper.

The genetic mutation discovered in the virus has a perfect key to lock fit in the sequence ! This is not possible in a natural selection of viral mutations and could only happen in a level 4 containment facility equipped like Wuhan !
Add that Wuhan is run by the bioweapons arm of the Chi Com military and the Faucis group funded this lab with nearly $4 million bucks .
Add the researches from China working in Canada’s level 4 lab were expelled after Corona virus samples were unlawfully removed and sent to Wuhan and those researchers were Chi Com Military !
These facts tell us two things somebody is a lying sack of Chi Com shit and President Trump was right about the WHO and Wuhan Chi Com military involvement ! Oh and number 3 the current administration is out for the ultimate destruction of our nation and will do it by over running us with illegals and kill us with their actions and inactions !
Prepare as best you can our government and its wealthy handlers want us totally controlled or dead !

This is kind of a straw man argument, isn’t it? It’s a virus, it could only come from an animal because that is it’s natural habitat. Viruses do not spontaneously emerge from the ether, they only exist and replicate within a living host. And yes, humans are animals, so technically it could have been created by humans in a laboratory and then “escaped” (or been released) on a living host- whether bat, rat or lab tech.

In other words, this doesn’t mean anything. It’s a fig leaf.

You would be staggered to find out what can be quickly cooked up in a genetics lab. And they’re mad scientists too, no ethics or morals. News from Italy just the other day how one of them has now made a vaccine-proof Covid mutation in the lab. Using “viral passaging”; they brewed it in antibodies for generations and then harvested the ones that survived. “Chimeric viruses” can be generated in a matter of days, taking some benign virus and added all sorts of evil stuff to it. This is all under the “gain of function” umbrella that Fauci loves, and has funded in Wuhan for years. Before that most of it was done at UNC Chapel Hill. Guy running that lab was known as Frankenstein; he could cook up anything. Their best product was a coronavirus so potent and scary they closed the lab down. After sending it to Wuhan. Shi ZengLi, the bat lady of Wuhan was part of that UNC project. IMO there’s no “technically” about it. This was generated deliberately.

I dunno about this, C’mon people. I think the chinese may be onto the truth. It’s clearly a bat virus that broke out in a fish market like first reported. Then it was discovered that the USA brought it in with troops, well maybe or maybe not, as it could have come to china from Italy, thats it.

Ok, China admits it could have come into china from any country that criticizes china, obviously a bat/fish virus that dislikes and infects those that criticize china. NOW, china has discovered that its likely the virus came in on some frozen food products. Perhaps frozen fish that maybe found its way to the wuhan fish market… bing bing bing… full circle, china is innocent just gave proof… Its clear that china is being set up as a bad guy when in *FACT they are the real victims.

*Fact = has to be true because I used it in all caps.
