Former President Donald Trump is blasting early detractors of the “lab-leak theory” in a new interview, pointing out he “called it a long time ago” that the coronavirus may have escaped from the virology lab in Wuhan — adding, “we have to make China pay.”
“I said it a long time ago, right from the beginning. And when you look at Wuhan and that’s where it all started, and then you look at the Wuhan lab and that’s what they were doing, it seemed pretty obvious to me. I called it a long time ago,” Trump said in an interview Wednesday on Fox Nation.
Trump was criticized by the World Health Organization and Democrats — who called his suggestion “xenophobic” — in the early days of the pandemic when he insinuated the deadly disease began with a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
But the theory gained new traction last month when a report revealed that workers at the lab were hospitalized in November 2019 after falling ill with COVID-like symptoms. --->READ MORE HERE
COVID-19 as a potential bioweapon against America.
ix months before controversy surrounded Dr. Anthony Fauci's role in gain-of-function virus research, a Chinese professor put the COVID-19 pandemic in a frightening light.
Chen Ping, a senior research fellow at Fudan University's Center for New Political Economy, essentially called COVID-19 a bioweapon.
“In 2020, China won the trade war, science and technology war, and especially the biological war," Chen said in January. "The achievement is unprecedented. This is an epoch-making historical record. So for the liberal, America-worshiping cult within China, their worship of the U.S. is actually unfounded. After this trade war and biological warfare, the U.S. was beaten back to its original shape."
Chen made a point to contrast those ostensible achievements with President Donald Trump's policies.
“So I think Trump's attempt to restore the declining international status of the U.S. during his four years has failed," said Chen, a doctor of physics. "This failure is not only the failure of Trump's personal campaign for re-election as president, but also the failure of the neo-liberalism-led globalization of the past four decades led by the U.S. and the U.K. Therefore, the development and modernization model of the U.S. and Europe is not worthy of China's imitation and repetition."
Chen's remarks, made for domestic consumption, expose COVID-19 as a significant tactic in China's multi-faceted strategy to attain international dominance by sabotaging the United States. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories and resources::
