It’s now almost undeniable that a leak (or two?) from a Chinese lab set off the COVID pandemic that’s killed nearly 7 million, including more than a million Americans.
Yet Beijing continues to evade responsibility, with no pushback from Team Biden.
What won’t he let China get away with?
At a House hearing Tuesday, former National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe told lawmakers a leak is the “only” credible explanation for the virus: “My informed assessment, as a person with as much access as anyone to our government’s intelligence,” is that “a lab leak is the only explanation credibly supported by our intelligence, by science and by common sense.”
That followed a Senate committee’s release Monday of its full, 301-page report on COVID’s origins, which cited “two leaks” — possibly as early as “July or August” 2019 — as “the most likely” source.

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Tuesday the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China is the “only” credible explanation for the pandemic that has claimed millions of lives around the world.
“My informed assessment as a person with as much access as anyone to our government’s intelligence … has been and continues to be that a lab leak is the only explanation credibly supported by our intelligence, by science and by common sense,” Ratcliffe told the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
“If our intelligence and evidence supporting a lab leak was placed side by side with our intelligence and evidence pointing to a natural origins or spillover theory, the lab leak side of the ledger would be long, convincing, even overwhelming — while the spillover side would be nearly empty and tenuous,” added Ratcliffe, a former Texas Republican congressman who served as former President Donald Trump’s second and last director of national intelligence.
Since leaving government in 2021, Ratcliffe has repeatedly accused China’s ruling Communist Party of orchestrating a “massive cover-up” of its role in the pandemic.
That effort is ongoing, he said Tuesday, as the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC formally objected to the subcommittee hearing and officials in China have gone to “great lengths” to obscure the truth. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
