WHO report: covid likely not from Wuhan

Covid not from Wuhan, not there before December 2019 and may even have been imported into Wuhan/China in frozen food.

Definitely, 100% not from a lab but may have mutated bit by bit and crossed different animals and borders whilst doing so in order to reach the current covid we know and love.

So there ya go. Hmm

WHO isn’t a credible source in my opinion, not when they’re so China centric. Would much prefer an independent accredited source provide information like that, I just don’t believe it coming from WHO.

rosetylersbiggun · 09/02/2021 18:58

So the key thing that tells you covid was human-made is the cover up. That means Spanish flu was human-made, right? Because Spanish flu was definitely covered up. in which case, which lab made Spanish flu? Don't say they didn't have the technology 100 years ago. THEY just want you to think that.

Exactly. I read that Chinese scientists used the Walkers-Crisps9 gene-editing tool to insert human brains into the virus.

Another excellent post. Grin

Who do you believe it from?

They made it so it only kills people who have broken the one-child policy. That's why it's so rampant elsewhere in the world where most people have more than one child.

goldfinchfan · 09/02/2021 19:00

China needs to be made to stop it's human rights abuses.

It is getting away with so much because peopel want cheap tat.

We don't want to keep living in fear.........China doesn/t give a stuff about the planet of the quality of LIfe.

It was clear that the WHO were going to decide that Covid was not caused by China.
The virology Lab and bats blood is a coincidence

PicsInRed · 09/02/2021 19:01

I also think you're very naive to trust the word of the Chinese government, or anyone under their influence

Honestly no worries on that score. 🤣

@Dinocan

But it was known about in November in Wuhan wasn’t it? Connor Reed, the student (who has since tragically died aged 26) reported he had it in November and they were seeing plenty of hospital cases then.
Yes, Connor Reed became ill on 25th November 2019, was treated for ‘pneumonia’ - which is what they initially thought the virus was in China, a weird kind of pneumonia - but was subsequently informed by the Chinese authorities he’d had ‘Wuhan Coronavirus’ . So, yes, odd that they now claim no evidence of cases prior to December that year.

Mmmmmm. Brown envelopes anyone?!!!

@Octane

Also this virus is intelligent its behaving in a way to suggest some man made intervention or modification

Exactly. I read that Chinese scientists used the Walkers-Crisps9 gene-editing tool to insert human brains into the virus.

Loving the concept of the "extreme diplomacy" and WHO having to do a joint statement with the Chinese authorities

With genuinely impartial invesigators that probably shouldn't have been necessary - but then, if they'd said anything which didn't quite suit, they'd most likely never have been heard from again

Lastfreakinglegs · 09/02/2021 19:08

Yeah right so it didn't come out of a lab studying and editing coronaviruses... In Wuhan. I know what I believe!

CovidCraziness · 09/02/2021 19:09

Even China wouldn't consider "disappearing" international scientists from a WHO team of investigators.

No, it would probably just be a coincidence that the scientist it their wife/husband was involved in a car accident a year or two later, or went missing on a hiking trip..

lavenderlou · 09/02/2021 19:10

I think given how we've seen different variants spring up around the world with increasing transmissibility,it's not particularly unreasonable to think that a form of the virus could have developed outside Wuhan, or even outside China, and then mutated to become more infectious in Wuhan.

That's not to say it didn't start in China, but I can certainly see why it can't be proven.

The idea that it was released from a lab was always far more unlikely than a natural jump from animals as we've seen with many other viruses in the past. As for the idea that it was released in purpose, I'm sure nobody would have said that if it originated in Europe or the US.

Cam77 · 09/02/2021 19:10

"WHO are in China’s pocket"

What does that mean, exactly? Does anyone have any good examples for this whole thing about WHO bending entirely to China's will? The only other person I ever heard say that was Trump so I assumed it was just nonsense, but if so many people on here believe it, there must be some pretty damning evidence?

It means people unthinkingly regurgitate baseless crap they have heard a bunch of times from Trump and other dubious sources, mostly opinion pieces, across Western media. Then in the next sentence they state how brainwashed everyone in China is.

Lweji · 09/02/2021 19:10

I have to agree that it is unlikely that it was only December.
But, I have not seen the evidence for the patients, or even for that person. He was told it was covid. Based on what?

Here's one for the conspiracy theorists. Good thing he died in the UK.

The BBC video is great, though. They discuss how bad it is likely to become. And the expert hopes to get in the habit of not shaking hands. Grin Oh, how innocent we were.

derxa · 09/02/2021 19:11

It sounds a bit like when the school and pupils know when the Ofsted inspectors are coming.. And all the 'lively' pupils are sent home for the day and all the paperwork is a work of fiction

MySocalledLoaf · 09/02/2021 19:11

It’s insane that people suddenly have so much “information” on how international organizations work while simultaneously displaying complete ignorance of basic science and research.

Load of tosh

AIMummy · 09/02/2021 19:12

The very same WHO who took months to declare a pandemic. The same WHO who criticised countries who closed their borders to Chinese travellers early on in the pandemic. To say they are under the thumb of the Chinese government is an understatement.

DO UR OWN RESEARCH PEEPS

THE VIRUS IS INTELLIGENT

IT IS ON HERE

IT NAMECHANGES REGULARLY (VARIANTS)

IT USED TO JUST POST IN STYLE AND BEAUTY BUT RECENTLY IT HAS JUMPED THE FORUM BARRIER

ResIpsaLoquiturInterAlia · 09/02/2021 19:12

It’s not just extreme diplomacy but an agreed post event retrospective show “investigation” with mutually pre agreed report outcomes including expected open ended inconclusive possibilities. Do let me know if this is off the mark and unlikely! However I can’t guess what the best agree possible cause(s) may be as they will need to find causes that fit their respective narratives.

CoronaIsWatching · 09/02/2021 19:13

What do the WHO actually do? A bunch of overpaid so called experts giving their unwanted opinions. They didn't do a thing to help stop the Coronavirus pandemic.
