The Lab Leak and the Counter Measures: What Really Happened [Article from 23/3/23]

ow that some US government officials and agencies are coming out and partially or possibly admitting that SARS-CoV-2 might perhaps have leaked from a lab in Wuhan, where the US could have maybe been funding gain-of-function research, a new question arises: So what?

You may think, at this point in the Covid saga, this is just a diversion to distract attention from the vaccine disaster, not to mention wars, banks collapsing, and other emergencies arising daily.

It may seem like a side story, but I believe the lab leak is, in fact, the key to understanding how the entire Covid catastrophe happened. It also clarifies how the idea of “conspiracy” fits into the international Covid pandemic response.

Lab leak cover-up was first and determining factor in Covid conspiracy

Cover-ups are by definition conspiratorial. Somebody does something bad and, in order to make sure it doesn’t get found out, that person and whoever else knows about it have to conspire to keep it quiet. The conspiracy is based on mutual culpability: if one party tries to blame the other, everyone’s guilt will be revealed.

In the case of the escape of an engineered potential bioweapon from a lab in Wuhan, China, there would be several very specific and identifiable implicated parties: 

• the Chinese scientists whose lab had lax security and the Chinese leadership (CCP) who probably covered up the leak until it was too late to contain 
• the international group of researchers working on gain-of-function (GoF) research in said and affiliated labs, and their governmental and NGO funders
• the intelligence and military operatives who were surveilling/involved in the bioweapons research

If there was a lab leak, there would have to be a conspiracy of these implicated parties. They would have to engage in a lot of propaganda to spin an alternative narrative, while at the same time knowing the virus was a potential bioweapon – which would require, according to their understanding, a special kind of response: The kind of biodefense response the people, organizations, and governments doing the GoF research had been working on for decades.

Compelling motives for cover-up: personal and global culpability and huge potential profits

The implicated parties in the lab-leak cover-up would have three intersecting motivations for the conspiracy:

• panic about the magnitude of disease and death that could be caused by a potential bioweapon and for which they would be blamed
• panic about international repercussions of creating and allowing such a potential bioweapon to escape, for which they would be blamed
• desire to seize the opportunity and roll out all the fancy biodefense and antiterrorism tools – including digital surveillance, psyops and vaccine platforms – that they were itching to try out on a large population (whole-world response, anyone?), not to mention the stratospheric profits that could be realized through global medical countermeasure development and deployment

Covid response was led by lab-leak co-conspirators

Now let’s look at who were the dominant parties in the global Covid pandemic response:

• the Chinese Community Party (CCP), whose unprecedented draconian lockdowns and Zero Covid became the world’s go-to models
• The national security and intelligence agencies and the military (in the US for sure and its allies most likely) who were in charge of policy, propaganda and Warp Speed vaccine development
• the researchers, government agencies and organizations involved in GoF research and biodefense planning, plus pharmaceutical companies involved in “public-private partnerships” that had invested billions over decades in medical countermeasure development and stood to gain billions back from finally administering the countermeasures to the entire world

The overlap between those who would have to conspire to cover up a lab leak and those who, in fact, led the biodefense pandemic response is nearly perfect. Could it be a coincidence? I would argue it’s highly unlikely. And all the more so because in every previous pandemic, and according to all previous pandemic planning documents up to and including the Pan-CAP-A dated March 13, 2020, the public health departments and institutions were in charge of pandemic response policy and implementation of that policy.
