For the last 3 1/2 years I've been keeping an eye open for hints that the lab leak (notice no one is talking about pangolins or bat soup any more?) was known to the NIAID/gain-of-function/state security organs gang before September 2019. Not searching it out but trying to be aware of the dates being pushed back to the fall and summer of 2019.
This report may be part of the puzzle of who knew what, when and who might have profited from the ructions in various types of markets that began in September 2019.
From the Daily Mail, November 28:
Top White House health official says it's 'certainly possible' China KILLED researcher who started the Covid pandemic by throwing him off Wuhan lab roof
- Official feels obligated to reveal talks with Fauci about writing off lab leak theory
- Says US has not learned lesson based on continued funding for risky research
A retired high-ranking health official revealed a Wuhan scientist secretly working on a Covid vaccine months before the pandemic broke out could have caused the global crisis and then been murdered for it.
Dr Robert Kadlec, who served in the Trump administration as an official in biodefense and epidemic response departments during the Covid-19 pandemic, revealed the coronavirus could have escaped a Wuhan lab at the hands of Chinese military scientist, Zhou Yusen, who was conducting risky research on live animals.
Dr Yusen was believed to be involved in SARS-related coronavirus animal vaccine research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in the Summer or Fall of 2019, Kadlec claims in a government report he co-authored.
During his research, Dr Yusen filed a patent in February 2020 for a Covid vaccine that he was suspected of secretly having worked on for months, just three months after the first case of the virus was reported in China - a time far faster than typical vaccine development.
Three months after filing his patent, the scientist mysteriously died when he 'fell from the roof of the institute.'
Dr Kadlec believes it was during Dr Yusen's research that the virus escaped from the WIV and sparked a global health emergency.
Dr Kadlec said: 'It looked like he was censored as a consequence of whatever happened. Our evidence would suggest that something happened while he was doing his work, which we believe was when the virus first emerged.
'And whether he was held accountable either through some formal proceeding or not, he was certainly dead by July (2020).'
Asked by Sky News if it was possible Dr Yusen was killed for starting the pandemic, Dr Kadlec told the outlet: 'It's certainly possible, we considered that as a plausible possibility, however, we had no evidence to make that assessment.'
Dr Kadlec points to Dr Yusen as a possible source of Covid-19 because of the vaccine patent the Chinese scientist filed so early in the pandemic, leading Dr Kadlec to speculate Dr Yusen knew of the virus long before the rest of the world did.
Dr Yusen filed a patent for a Covid-19 vaccine on February 24, 2020, barely a month after China put Wuhan into lockdown because of the outbreak, but US vaccine developers told government investigators it would have been impossible to have generated the data cited in the patent so swiftly.
It would have taken about three months' work, meaning scientists at the WIV were secretly working on a Covid vaccine at least two months before Beijing told the world about the pandemic.
Dr Kadlec co-founded the Covid vaccine development program Operation Warp Speed, which culminated in the release of highly effective shots that largely prevented severe illness and millions of deaths. But even in the US, it took approximately nine months for a vaccine to become available.
According to a House Republican report, the rush to develop a vaccine may have led to an accidental lab leak, which could have led to the global pandemic.
As part of the lab leak theory on Covid's origins, which was once seen as xenophobic but is now subscribed to by government agencies like the FBI, Congressional Republicans and researchers including Dr Kadlec, believe there were two lab leaks: One in 2019 during Dr Yusen's research and one months later that sparked the global outbreak.....
