Wuhan Lab Staff Sought Treatment In November 2019
According to a previously undisclosed US intelligence report, three Wuhan lab staff members got sick last November 2019. More than a month before China reported a cluster of pneumonia cases, researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology had to seek hospital care.
This development potentially supports a theory that the COVID-19 virus escaped from a lab.

Trump Administration State Department Report
The report, issued during the waning days of President Donald Trump’s administration, shed light on some details. It said that several researchers at the Chinese lab, a center for the study of coronaviruses and other pathogens, became sick in autumn 2019.
They displayed symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness.
This report came out on the eve of a World Health Organization meeting this month. The body will meet to discuss the next phase of how COVID-19 started.
Current and former officials familiar with the intelligence about the lab researchers expressed differing views. One person said that the data, provided by an international partner, is significant but needs more proof.
Another source said that the intelligence used to gather the facts is strong. Another person described intelligence as stronger.
“The information that we had coming from the various sources was of exquisite quality. It was very precise. What it didn’t tell you was exactly why they got sick,” he said, referring to the researchers.
November 2019 – Wuhan Lab Staff
Many epidemiologists and virologists believe SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the pandemic, started making its rounds in November 2019. The virus circulated around the Chinese city of Wuhan, where Beijing confirmed the first case occurred on Dec 8, 2019.
However, the Wuhan Institute has yet to share its raw data, safety logs, and lab records on its extensive work with coronaviruses in bats. Many consider the flying mammal the most likely source of the virus.
China Denies COVID-19 Escaped From It Labs
Meanwhile, China repeatedly denied that the virus escaped from one of its labs. On Sunday, China’s foreign ministry said that the WHO team’s conclusion after visiting the Wuhan Lab staff was negative for any lab leaks.
“The US continues to hype the lab leak theory. Is it actually concerned about tracing the source or trying to divert attention?” the ministry said.
On the other hand, the Biden administration declined to comment on the intelligence. In addition, they said that the WHO should investigate all technically credible theories on the origin of the pandemic.
“We continue to have serious questions about the earliest days of the Covid-19 pandemic, including its origins within the People’s Republic of China,” said a spokeswoman for the National Security Council.
“We’re not going to make pronouncements that prejudge an ongoing WHO study into the source of SARS-CoV-2,” the spokeswoman said. “As a matter of policy, we never comment on intelligence issues.”
Other Suspected Points of Origins
Apart from an escape from the Wuhan lab staff, there are many other suspected origins of the virus. China called on the WHO to investigate reports that the virus allegedly started at a lab in Fort Derrick, Maryland.
Beijing also said WHO should investigate other countries. Most scientists say the US military lab allegations are not likely. In fact, the White House said there are no credible reasons to investigate it.
Meanwhile, Shi Zhengli, the top bat coronavirus expert at WIV, said the virus didn’t leak from her laboratories. She told the investigating WHO-led team that all staff tested negative for Covid-19 antibodies.
In addition, her coronavirus team did not turn over any staff. Marion Koopmans, a Dutch virologist that is a member of the WHO team, said that WIV staff did fall sick in the autumn of 2019.
However, she attributed the illness to regular and seasonal sickness. “There were occasional illnesses because that’s normal. There was nothing that stood out. Maybe one or two. It’s certainly not a big, big thing,” she insisted.
Watch the Business Today reporting that Wuhan lab researchers hospitalized before the outbreak:
Loading ...Do you believe that the COVID-19 virus came from an accidental escape from a Wuhan Laboratory? Is the sickness reported among the Wuhan lab staff proof of the virus origin there?

Of course this came out of a Chinese lab. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a complete moron.
I don’t believe that it was accidental
I believe this “virus was developed in China, years ago and sat in limbo until Clinton, Bush and Obama had all their ducks in a row, financially, Then they decided to use it against Trump, as the final straw to get him impeached, because he had so much dirt against the above mentioned to put them away for a long time..The Bat.that “caused “” this virus is all bullshit. This Government paid BIG money to have it ready to use, to get rid of Trump. and his supporters. Communist countries want to take this country over, and proved it can be done if you remove enough people. That’s where this country. I’m sorry to say this is just a small run to test the water and see how it would work. Now they know they can take this country over, since they’re virus deal was so easy to release. Plenty more to come, I’m sure. I think you can squeeze it out ofF uncle Joe, he’s not stable mentally or mentally and physically . He’s the broken cookie in this whole deal, and does what he is instructed to do…
Only a idiot would buy china’s and Who’s lies, we know dang well that virus came from china. We also have proof an American along with that traitor fauci had a hand in developing it.
It would be interesting to interrogate fauci while he is hooked to a polygraph. I suspect that there would be evidence of evasion about every aspect of his “management” of the WuFlu epidemic, gain of function research, and the people he has communicated with that sought to use the “epidemic” to steal a presidential election.
It all fits together too neatly for mere coincidence.
Very strange to me how no one is blasting the internet about the 2019 Military games that took place in October in Wuhan China!! There were athletes from almost every country.
There were reports from athletes about getting sick with “ something” while there or shortly after return to their country. This is TOO coincidental!!! Where’s the investigation on that connection?? It would seem athletes would be healthier folks and experience mild, subtle symptoms. So probably no alarming deaths, until the germ has a chance to hit varied populations. All that takes time. And the timeline is not so far fetched!!!
Everyone can read about these military Olympic Games which have been going on since 1995. But I know I never knew. And neither does anyone in my area! It is an olympic event held only for military of every country to attend. It was started as a way to promote peace and unity
World wide.
We are talking about genocide that came out of a country(CHINA) who only recently lifted their ONE CHILD LAW for their citizens and who have looked the other way regarding the deaths and neglect of thousands of baby girls over the decades. The CHINESE one child mandate was from 1980-2015. Why would a country like that have any honesty!!! If they start repopulating to save their race, they have to get rid of another sector of population…the elderly.
After all they would be seen as having no further use to PRC. No longer productive, just a drag on society.
I think the honor and respect the Chinese culture was endowed with has slowly degraded with the communist reign and as the older generation dies it is replaced with younger who never knew the traditional ways. Very sad!!
It is so sad that the American new media (print, on air, and online) are so biased that they cannot tell the truth only the bull shite that the Democratic party feed them. I have stopped watching the news on TV and refuse to purchase any products embracing WOKE.
The virus not only came from a lab in Wuhan , China it was funded in part with American monies provided by the Obama/Biden administration
Yes it was China and why Biden didn’t disclose his mental before the election, that is a crime. His staff should have turned him in, and Harris just laughs at everything. We need a leader in DC not one that buys it!!
covid -19 is man engeneered, its proven to be made in a biochem lab in wuhan and yes china does condone and use these type of weapons and has and will continue to test on its own people. this is about money and power . china is our greatest foreighn threat, the politicians esp dems are greatest domestic threat. covid the virus has been around for centuries at least. covid 19 comes from china via a labratory
Covid…..the great Scamdemic!! Planned, executed, and completed! The folly of the US will never recover because of the lack of honesty. This was planned and the above comments from anonymous hits the mark w Clinton, Bush, and Obama! You get the government you deserve! Stand up and take it back
Anyone pay attention to the fact that thousands of Chinese who were working at locations outside of China all traveled back to China for the Chinese New Year celebrations in early 2020 and then returned to their foreign locations, and the virus came with them?? Several thousand workers at the manufacturing center in Italy where leather purses, etc., are made brought the virus back and that area became a hot spot for the virus. Travelers to other parts of the world intentionally or inadvertently carried the virus to those areas as well. And now bats? Hmmmm…..
People wake up!!!we are at war with China. Ransom for gas. What will be next? WAKE UP
