Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe Tells House Panel That The "Only Explanation" and Only "Plausible Asssessment" for the Origins of the Covid Pandemic is a Lab Leak in WuhanBut but but wait -- Fauci said this was impossible, and a conspiracy theory, and also racist! Why are these Evil Racist Words being projected on to my corneas right now?
Douglas Feith also advised Congressmen to look to the clue of the Wuhan researchers who all got sick at the same time in the autumn of 2019: On January 15, after interagency clearance of the document and consultations the week before with key allies, we released a Fact Sheet on "Activity at the Wuhan Institute of Virology" and an accompanying Press Statement on "Ensuring a Transparent, Thorough Investigation of COVID-19's Origin." As summarized in the Press Statement, we revealed: More at John Sexton's leak. Ratcliffe stated that we could resolve this one way or another with a simple test to check the lab results from the sick Wuhan researchers. But China will not permit this. Which is telling in and of itself, of course. "There has been public reporting about intelligence that those researchers became patients and were hospitalized," he said. He continued, "Without confirming the accuracy of that what I would submit to you is, if that is in fact the case and those hospitalizations took place the lab results and tests from those patients, if submitted for genetic sequencing, would be dispositive of the issue of whether or not those initial patient zeroes worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Read Sexton for more. I don't want to steal his whole post, but he quotes Josh Rogin about the secret information that Feith and Ratcliffe allude to, but aren't specifying. China apologists claim the sick covid reearchers just had the flu. But Ratcliffe and Feith are alluding to the secret intelligence is that those covid researchers who got sick had the specific symptoms of "loss of smell" and "ground-glass opacities in the lungs." Those are two symptoms of covid but not the flu. Correction: I earlier claimed that this "ground glass" appearance was actually real and due to "crystalization." CBD says I'm talking out of my ass and no, there is no crystalization, it's just what the lungs look like in an X-ray (I presume the latter). As Chuy can be fooled any number of times, I'm going to defer to CBD. Apologies for the error; I should have looked that up instead of relying on what I thought it meant from reading AllahPundit's Panic Posts. Some clips from the hearing. Ratcliffe says everyone knew it was a lab-leak from the start, but due to "politics," this knowledge was treated as a "conspiracy theory." He also says that people like Fauci and Francis Collins lied about covid's origins because they didn't want "unwarranted attention" regarding the links between American researchers and the Wuhan Lab's researchers, as well as the "sources of funding" for those Wuhan researchers. So he's saying Fauci lied to cover up his own role in creating covid. That part starts at 2:19.
Ratcliffe lays out the case for the lab leak here. He repeats the language I quoted above.
Ratcliffe says that Fauci never even mentioned to him that there was any chance this came from a lab. He repeats again that Fauci didn't want "unwanted" (or "unwarranted") "attention" being paid to where Wuhan's funding was coming from. Ratcliffe roasts the media, "social media giants," and most of all the CIA, which continues maintaining it doesn't have enough information to say where covid came from. He quotes a CIA analyst who was reluctant to share his own conclusion that the virus came from a lab, saying, "I don't want our intelligence being used to support those [Trump's] policies."
