As per the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) report made public on Friday, the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) “collaborated” alongside the Chinese military on coronavirus studies. This happened in the months and years before the COVID-19 epidemic.

In order to further China’s knowledge of viruses for the aforementioned defensive and biosecurity requirements of the military, the WIV offered monetary assistance. Its employees carried out research from 2017 to 2019, based on the article.

Nevertheless, the DNI found COVID-19 was not likely to have been brought about by the coronaviruses that WIV researchers and scientists connected to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) were working on.

The “collaboration” involving WIV researchers and PLA employees, based on the publication, centered around biosafety and biosecurity programs.

In order to create “therapeutics” pertinent to the viruses, scientists from the PLA collaborated closely with WIV staff in the WIV labs to conduct coronavirus and vaccine-related research.

Based on a recent article by writers Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag, the WIV’s lab workers were the very first three COVID-19 patients.

According to the DNI report, which looks like it contradicts the reporters’ conclusions, several WIV workers were ill in the Fall of 2019 with indications of the coronavirus.

In spite of this, a few of the signs they were experiencing were associated with, but not definitive of, COVID-19; their symptoms might have instead been a result of an assortment of illnesses.

In its executive brief, DNI notes its research fails to examine the merits of the probable pandemic beginnings theories, nor did it investigate other biological institutions in Wuhan other than the WIV.

At this rate, it seems as if the truth regarding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic that killed so many, is never going to be reported to us.
