Topic: Who Wuhan

Dr. Francis Boyle, an expert in biological warfare, claims the coronavirus is an offensive biological agent that leaked from the Wuhan BSL-4 laboratory. He alleges the virus was genetically engineered with "gain of function" properties, combining SARS with flu and HIV elements. Boyle further suggests that the World Health Organization is complicit in designating the lab as a research facility.

Mainstream media outlets including CNN, MSNBC, and The New York Times shift their coverage toward the possibility that COVID-19 originated from a lab in Wuhan. On The View, hosts discuss how the "messenger" impacted the acceptance of the theory during the Trump administration. Dr. Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organization face renewed scrutiny regarding their initial dismissals of the lab leak hypothesis.

The World Health Organization's report on the origins of COVID-19 has been criticized as a "whitewash" due to China's significant influence over the investigation. Reports indicate that China was given veto power over the mission's personnel and conducted the primary research itself, merely sharing findings with international experts. This lack of independent access to raw data and virus samples has led to widespread skepticism of the report's conclusions.

Mainstream media outlets and Dr. Scott Gottlieb discuss the possibility of a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Reports indicate that several researchers became ill with flu-like symptoms in autumn 2019. A group of 20 scientists published an open letter criticizing the WHO's joint report with China for a lack of independent access to raw data.

The World Health Organization (WHO) team in Wuhan concluded that COVID-19 likely jumped from animals to humans rather than leaking from a lab. The hosts mock WHO official Maria van Kerkhove for her pronunciation of "zoonotic" and question the legitimacy of an investigation conducted a year after the initial outbreak under Chinese government supervision.

Dr. Francis Boyle, drafter of the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, claims the coronavirus is an offensive biological warfare agent leaked from a BSL-4 laboratory in Wuhan. Boyle asserts the virus was genetically engineered with "gain of function" properties and suggests the World Health Organization is complicit. The discussion notes Boyle's marginalization in mainstream media due to his past criticisms of Zionism and political figures.
