State Department staffers were warned against probing COVID origin: report

State Department staffers were warned against investigating the origin of COVID-19 because it would “open a can of worms,” a former official revealed in a bombshell report Thursday.

Thomas DiNanno, former acting assistant secretary of the State Department’s Bureau of Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance, also told Vanity Fair that the warning “smelled like a cover-up.”

“I wasn’t going to be part of it,” he said.

Vanity Fair cited a five-page Jan. 9 memo in which DiNanno outlined “apprehension and contempt” from State Department technical staff and a “complete lack of responses to briefings and presentations.”

DiNanno’s memo also said that State Department staffers “warned” leaders in his bureau “not to pursue an investigation into the origin of COVID-19” because it would “‘open a can of worms’ if it continued,” according to Vanity Fair. --->READ MORE HERE

Former CDC director says he received death threats for supporting Wuhan lab leak theory:

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield said he received death threats for supporting the theory that the coronavirus originated in a lab in Wuhan, China, an explanation that has gained popularity over the last few weeks.

Redfield's suspicions around the Wuhan Institute of Virology reportedly began stirring in early January 2020, when Chinese officials, specifically Dr. George Fu Gao, head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control, contacted him about COVID-19 in the very beginning stages of its development, he told Vanity Fair in a report released Thursday. The health authority said he requested to send researchers to the lab to test workers for antibodies, but his pleas were ignored.

Redfield, who served as the CDC director under former President Donald Trump, made headlines earlier this year after coming forward with his support for the lab leak theory, though the scientific community, he said, levied death threats against him for peddling the hypothesis. --->READ MORE HERE
