According to reports, the administration of US President Joe Biden has shut down an inquiry that was investigating the possibility that COVID leaked out a level 4 virology lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in Wuhan, China, ground zero for the COVID pandemic.

Despite denials by the Chinese Communist Party, due to overwhelming evidence, it is now generally accepted that the virus leaked from the lab.

So why would the Biden administration shut down the investigation?

Apparently, it was due to allegations that the Chinese Military was involved in the lab and was using it to develop biological weapons.

Fox News recently interviewed David Asher who was leading the investigation before it was shut down:

In a statement to Fox News, Asher defended the investigation, and said that, at the time, some State Department colleagues “were deliberately playing down possible links to China’s biological weapons program.”

“It is U.S. law to engage in effective arms control and nonproliferation, not facilitate it via ‘scientific cooperation’ in the name of threat reduction or refusal to engage in effective compliance with Communist countries that openly aim to incorporate synthetic biology into the future of warfare (apparently with our naive material and scientific assistance),” Asher said.

It would be embarrassing to find out that the US government had contributed $600,000 to the lab that was allegedly being used by the Chinese Communist Party to develop biological weapons that could potentially be used against the US.

The New York Post reported on Dr Anthony Fauci’s discussion of the American funding:

The National Institutes of Health earmarked $600,000 for the Wuhan Institute of Virology over a five-year period to study whether bat coronaviruses could be transmitted to humans, White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci told lawmakers Tuesday. […]

But Fauci emphatically denied that the money went toward so-called “gain of function” research, which he described as “taking a virus that could infect humans and making it either more transmissible and/or pathogenic for humans.”

And we must not forget about the deadly viruses that were illegally shipped to the Wuhan lab from a level 4 virology lab in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 2020.

In an interview with the CBC, Amir Attaran, an epidemiologist and law professor from the University of Ottawa, said:

“We have a researcher who was removed by the RCMP from the highest security laboratory that Canada has for reasons that government is unwilling to disclose. The intelligence remains secret. But what we know is that before she was removed, she sent one of the deadliest viruses on Earth, and multiple varieties of it to maximize the genetic diversity and maximize what experimenters in China could do with it, to a laboratory in China that does dangerous gain of function experiments. And that has links to the Chinese military.”
