As reported in January 2020, the coronavirus first struck the city of Wuhan, China.
Last week, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, three workers at the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology became so sick in November 2019, they visited hospitals due to their conditions.
The paper, which cited an undisclosed U.S. intelligence report, said the new details “go beyond” a fact sheet released by the U.S. State Department in the waning days of the Trump administration. It was previously not known that these workers visited hospitals at about the same time the virus was circulating throughout the city.
The WSJ pointed out that the fact sheet, which was released in January, did not mention any trips to hospitals and said the workers had “symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illness.”
The paper pointed out China has denied allegations that the virus – intentionally or not – leaked from the lab in Wuhan. Chinese officials responded to the latest report and blamed the U.S. for continuing to “hype the lab leak theory.”
TRENDPOST: Although the report is not a smoking gun, it seems to contribute evidence to the theory that the virus may not have originated in a Chinese wet market, but rather from a lab. (In our article last week, “BATSH*T CRAZY: WUHAN WALLS CLOSING IN AROUND FAUCI,” we reported that Dr. Anthony Fauci has been forced to answer questions about the lab and the virus’ origins.)
The WSJ article said there has been debate among those familiar with the evidence produced by international partners. Some say the claims need to be verified, while others call the information “very precise.”
