ANALYSIS \u2013<\/strong> While I never claimed C*VID was a deliberately released Chinese b*oweapon or even explicitly that it was part of a b*oweapons program, I did point out that China had an extensive biowarfare program that could be involved with the creation and leak of the v*rus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also explored the likely theory that C*VID-*9 accidentally escaped from the BSL-4 bio lab at the W*han Institute of Vir*logy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the W*han bio-leak theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, this was a no-brainer and something any intelligence analyst of any merit should have been evaluating when C*VID first surfaced in W*han, China, in December 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the mere mention of any of these considerations was immediately crushed by so-called scientific experts, the media, left-leaning politicians and a host of others, branding it disinformation or misinformation to even mention the possibility that C*VID could be man-made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Tech social media platforms quickly made it their job to ferociously suppress any discussion that China may have accidentally created C*VID, much less that it could be tied to a Chinese military b*owarfare program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This censorship affected scientists, and others, and even resulted in many respected persons, including me, being canceled by social media platforms, such as LinkedIn. [Editor’s Note: This article is currently being censored]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This draconian response was partly due to President Trump noting this was a possibility, producing a visceral reaction to say the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) was also part of the major effort to downplay any connection between C*VID and China\u2019s b*oweapons, claiming in an October 2021 Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)\u00a0assessment<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0S*RS-C*V-2 was \u201cprobably not a b*ological weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, as the evidence piled up, and experts became less afraid to contradict the official narrative, more and more reporting was done pointing to the W*han bio lab as the potential source of an accidental leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now we are going beyond that and potentially linking C*VID to China\u2019s secretive military b*owarfare effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new unclassified\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0released by GOP members of the\u00a0House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI)\u00a0argues that C*VID-*9 \u201cmay have been tied\u201d to China\u2019s b*ological weapons research program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minority report, released on Dec. 14 states that \u201cthere are indications that S*RS-C*V-2 may have been tied to China\u2019s biological weapons research program and spilled over to the human population during a lab-related incident at the W*han Institute of Vir*logy (WIV).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significantly, the committee blamed the intelligence community when it further stated in its report that it has \u201creason to believe that the IC downplayed the possibility that S*RS-C*V-2 was connected to China\u2019s b*oweapons program based in part on input from outside experts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These \u2018outside\u2019 experts the IC relied on were of course extremely biased, many with political, ideological or financial agendas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GOP report also highlights that the intelligence community has \u201cfailed to comply\u201d with numerous requests for information\u2014including bipartisan committee questions about the experts relied upon for its assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As The Epoch Times reported<\/a>, Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, noted the IC\u2019s non-compliance when he stated: \u201cWe should know who is making these decisions and how they are coming to their conclusions. I think that\u2019s our responsibility as oversight, and to date, we have not received that information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect the Republican majority to push the intelligence community harder on this issue when it takes control of the HPSCI and other related committees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time we learn the full truth about how these assessments were completed. And also learn as much as possible about the true origins of C*VID.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
