U.S. Officials ‘Ignored’ Safety Concerns at Wuhan Lab, ‘Predicted’ Outbreak in 2018

In 2018, United States officials predicted that a disease could escape China’s Wuhan lab, according to e-mails revealed as part of a Freedom of Information Act (foia) request on November 28.

On April 3, 2020, one State Department employee e-mailed a Washington Post link to a co-worker. The article is titled “How Did COVID-19 Begin? Its Initial Origin Story Is Shaky.” His colleague replied: “Looks like the media is starting to report on this more factually—I wonder who set them straight. If they get my cables they’ll also know it was essentially predicted in 2018. They are unclassified and foia-able [sic] so I suspect at some point they’ll come out.”

• The “cables” here referenced probably refer to reports in the Washington Post warning about safety issues at the Wuhan lab.

U.S. officials knew the lab was a ticking time bomb but kept funding it without demanding more regulations and oversight. It almost appears that they wanted a pandemic.

Gerald Flurry wrote: From his book America Under Attack:

Dr. [Anthony] Fauci was funding gain-of-function research in China while simultaneously warning the American people to brace for a pandemic. He never mentioned he was involved in the dangerous manipulation of bat coronaviruses to produce a potential pandemic pathogen, but he seemed to know that the world was heading into a serious infectious disease crisis. The fact that he said this a day after Obama reauthorized bioweapons research makes it even more suspicious.

Why did Dr. Fauci continue to fund the Wuhan lab, knowing there was danger of a disease getting out? Did he know what would happen? The appendix “Was the Coronavirus Crisis Engineered?” in America Under Attack explores this possibility, and more.
