Emily Kopp Reveals US Government Withheld Crucial COVID-19 Origins Intel

Withheld Intelligence on COVID-19 Origins

• 💡 The Biden administration is accused of withholding crucial intelligence that challenges the timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic's beginnings.
• 📌 Seven US service members reportedly contracted COVID-like symptoms after attending the World Military Games in Wuhan, China, in October 2019, predating the commonly cited December outbreak.
• 🎯 A 2022 Pentagon report indicated these individuals did not spark outbreaks upon returning home, but this new information undermines the natural origin theory which relies on a December wet market cluster.

Plausibility of Engineered Virus

• 🔬 A June 2020 DIA presentation detailed the plausibility of COVID-19's genome being engineered, specifically noting the insertion of a fear and cleavage site into a bat coronavirus backbone.
• 🛠️ The presentation suggested the virus could have been assembled using techniques like golden gate assembly and type two restriction enzymes.
• ⚠️ This aligns with findings by independent scientists in 2023 who identified similar artificial patterns in the virus, though they were initially denigrated.

Government Secrecy and Reluctance

• 🧐 Documents obtained via FOIA show an invoice for a restriction enzyme used in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which had previously caught the attention of US intelligence.
• 📉 Despite Congress unanimously passing the CO Origin Act of 2023 requiring declassification of information linking the Wuhan Institute of Virology to COVID's origin, the Biden administration appears to have withheld key details.
• 🧠 Some within the US government, particularly in biosecurity roles, have shown reluctance to consider a lab leak due to their prior advocacy for gain-of-function research, even with adversarial nations.

International Perspectives and Ongoing Investigations

• 🌍 European intelligence services, including German assessments, have suggested a high probability of a lab origin, though these findings were reportedly downplayed.
• 🇫🇷 The French National Academy of Scientists voted overwhelmingly (97% to 3%) that a lab origin is more likely.
• 🏛️ The House Intelligence Committee's Oversight Subcommittee is set to investigate the COVID-19 origins, potentially accessing intelligence that previous committees could not.
• ❓ Frustration exists regarding the vagueness of "COVID-like symptoms" in reports, with a lack of specific details like loss of taste and smell hindering definitive conclusions.
