FBI Found Evidence Covid Was Lab Leak But Was Not Allowed to Brief President

The FBI found evidence suggesting that COVID-19 was caused by a lab leak but were not allowed to brief the president, it has been claimed. The Telegraph has more.

Jason Bannan, a doctor of microbiology and former senior scientist at the FBI, has dedicated more than a year of his life to discovering the origins of Covid.

But despite being the only U.S. national intelligence agency to conclude that a lab leak was likely, the FBI and Mr. Bannan were snubbed from a National Intelligence Council briefing with Joe Biden, it has been claimed.

Mr. Biden had ordered an urgent investigation in May 2021 by U.S. intelligence agencies and national laboratories to identify whether the virus had been transferred from an animal to a human or had escaped from a Chinese laboratory.

One of the most popular theories at the time was that it had been transferred from a bat at a “wet market” in Wuhan, where the virus first emerged in 2019.

The National Intelligence Council (NIC), a body of senior intelligence officers that organised the review, had concluded with “low confidence” that COVID-19 had been transmitted from an animal to a human, along with four intelligence agencies.

This was then presented by Avril Haines, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and two of her senior analysts, to President Biden and his top aides in August 2021.

The FBI had not only concluded a lab leak was likely but that it had “moderate confidence” in its assessment – more than any other agency – and had expected to make this case to the White House but no officials from the agency were invited to do so.

In his first interview, Mr. Bannan told the Wall Street Journal: “Being the only agency that assessed that a laboratory origin was more likely, and the agency that expressed the highest level of confidence in its analysis of the source of the pandemic, we anticipated the FBI would be asked to attend the briefing.

“I find it surprising that the White House didn’t ask.”

The government’s COVID con gave us a million American caskets

The Wall Street Journal’s COVID bombshell exposes how federal agencies carried out the biggest scientific con of the century.

From the very start of the COVID pandemic in America, federal bureaucrats and politicians rushed to suppress evidence that the pandemic originated from a Chinese government lab bankrolled by US government agencies.

In 2021, key Biden administration officials effectively exonerated the Chinese government, even though Beijing had completely stonewalled any outside investigation into the origin of the COVID-19 virus.

The FBI’s top expert concluded that the virus leaked from the lab — but he was side-railed by the Biden administration, blocked from presenting evidence at a key White House meeting in August 2021. Three scientists at the National Center for Medical Intelligence, part of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, also concluded that COVID leaked from a lab, but they were muzzled. The inspector general is conducting an investigation to determine why those experts were silenced.

Biden admin covered up intel revelations of COVID-19 lab origins: WSJ report

Biden administration officials suppressed information that was obtained by intelligence agencies that supported the Covid-19 “lab-leak” theory, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal. The report showed that there is evidence of a cover-up as to the origins of the virus and that the spike protein that enables the Covid virus to infiltrate cells was lab made.

A Wall Street Journal investigation found that Jason Bannan, a Ph.D.in microbiology, was recruited by the FBI after the 9/11 attacks in order to bring expertise on topics such as biological and chemical weapons. He was told by superiors that he would be brought in to brief President Joe Biden when the Covid-19 virus was rampant in the US in 2021. 

However, he was never summoned to join the briefings with Biden. Out of the multiple agencies that investigated the origin of the pandemic, the FBI was the only agency to determine that there was a “moderate confidence” that it came from a lab. The four other departments said that the pandemic had an animal origin, but each had “low confidence” in their findings, per the outlet.  

Biden was briefed by National Intelligence Director Avril Haines in August 2021 after a 90-day review that the White House had ordered to investigate the origins of the virus starting in May that year. However, the FBI was not asked to attend the meeting. The other four agencies attended and told the president that the pandemic had come from an animal.  

“Being the only agency that assessed that a laboratory origin was more likely, and the agency that expressed the highest level of confidence in its analysis of the source of the pandemic, we anticipated the FBI would be asked to attend the briefing,” Bannan said in a recorded interview. “I find it surprising that the White House didn’t ask.” 

The Director of National Intelligence (DIA) told the outlet that it was no standard practice to invite representatives from each agency and that each view on the pandemic was represented in the meeting Biden.  

“The Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the National Intelligence Council’s work on Covid-19 origins complied with all of the Intelligence Community’s analytic standards, including objectivity,” a spokesperson said.

Here We Go: Public Health Experts Warn of Looming ‘Quad-demic’ This Winter — Flu, COVID, RSV, and Norovirus

As winter approaches, so does the latest round of fear-mongering from public health officials: the “quad-demic.”

This year, it’s not just COVID, the flu, and RSV making headlines; norovirus, the infamous “winter vomiting disease,” has been added to the list of threats making the rounds.

But is the quad-demic hysteria justifiable, or is it another attempt to push vaccinations while glossing over their questionable effectiveness and potential risks?

Public health officials, like Dr. Robert Hopkins Jr. from the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, are urging Americans to roll up their sleeves for not one but multiple shots—including the controversial COVID vaccine that has seen lackluster uptake since its introduction.

“All of the viruses are here, it’s just they’re affecting different areas a little bit differently,” Dr. Robert Hopkins Jr., medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases told Fortune.

“I don’t want to panic people, but I would say if you haven’t been vaccinated and you’re eligible for vaccination—that means everybody 6 months of age and older—get that COVID shot, get that flu shot.”

While RSV vaccines are now available for certain age groups, the push for widespread vaccination feels more like a boon for Big Pharma than a genuine public health necessity.

Pfizer, Moderna, and others have enjoyed record-breaking profits during the pandemic, and this year’s “quad-demic” narrative conveniently keeps the money flowing.

While respiratory viruses dominate the “quad-demic” narrative, norovirus—a gastrointestinal illness often referred to as “winter vomiting disease”—is now being highlighted. Conveniently, there’s no vaccine for this particular illness, but public health officials are using it to rehash tired advice about hand hygiene and avoiding crowds.

The CFR from the Pfizer trial show the vaccines make you 14x more likely to die from COVID

The case fatality rate (CFR) from the Pfizer trial shows you are 10X more likely to die if you get COVID and you are vaccinated.

Pfizer just forgot to point this out.

Same with the CDC and FDA. I’m sure they just forgot.

So I’m going to show you that the CFR is 10X higher for Pfizer and when you combine that with a 40% higher likelihood of being infected, we can now estimate that the COVID vaccine makes you 14X more likely to die from COVID. And that’s not counting your risk of all-cause mortality from the vaccine itself!

The Pfizer Phase 3 study CFR calculation

Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine through 6 Months showed for COVID deaths/cases:

Vaccinated: 1/8=.125
Unvaccinated: 2/162=.0123
Note: the deaths are in Table S4 in the Supplementary material

You were actually 10X more likely to die from COVID if you were vaccinated and you got COVID.

COVID-19 Lockdowns Unleashed a Wave of Murder

Restrictive policies in response to COVID-19 did a huge amount of damage to our liberty, prosperity, kids’ education, and even our sanity. But now there’s evidence supporting what many of us suspected: Lockdowns also contributed to a surge in crime that temporarily reversed a decades-long decline in homicides. According to a new Brookings Institution report, forcing young men out of work and out of school fueled a surge in violence. Worse, this outcome was predicted.

It’s no secret that, after years of declining crime rates, crimes against people and property spiked in 2020 and for a period thereafter. Most concerning was the rise in murders, which had happily been dwindling since the early 1990s.

“In 2020, the average U.S. city experienced a surge in its homicide rate of almost 30%—the fastest spike ever recorded in the country,” write Rohit Acharya and Rhett Morris in a research review for the Brookings Institution published this week. “Across the nation, more than 24,000 people were killed compared to around 19,000 the year before.”

They add that “homicides remained high in 2021 and 2022, but in 2023 they began to fall rapidly.”

The surge in crime has variably been attributed to efforts to defund or deemphasize policing that took off during the 2020 riots sparked by the killing of George Floyd, demoralized police officers resulting from those efforts, and the aftereffects of the social disruptions from lockdowns imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Acharya and Morris analyzed thousands of police records and examined the timeframe from which they were drawn. They find that the data best fits the last hypothesis.

The Omnibus CR Funding Bill —The WHO Treaty in Disguise

Did you know that the omnibus CR funding bill that GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson put forward would have enshrined a number of aspects of the WHO Treaty into law in America?

Did you know it expanded COVID lockdown law to other diseases? Did you know it reiterated and strengthened laws that provide legal immunity for vaccine manufacturers?

I’m guessing you didn’t because almost no one did but all these things are true and Congressional leadership seems hell bent on bringing it back. While a full evaluation of everything this nightmare does let me offer a few examples of the shadiness as a means of explanation.

Hundreds of pages of this continuing resolution spending bill were dedicated to health policy. Why? The purpose of the bill is to keep the government funded – temporarily – until an actual budget could be passed (I know – ha ha).

Regardless of the likelihood of Congress doing their job and passing a budget, the Republican led House ought to want to pass something minimalistic so that the next Congress and incoming Trump administration can fight for their agenda more fully. Instead, we have major critical provisions everywhere.

While the focus here is on the corrupt health policies included in the bill, it should be noted that there is also a related provision of the bill that would have supported the State Department Global Engagement Center (GEC).

Documents Show CISA Monitored and Influenced Domestic Speech on COVID-19 Through Private Sector Partners

America First Legal (AFL) has revealed new information from a document it has been able to obtain through the lawsuit filed against the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

CISA is part of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has a “foreign disinformation” unit, the Countering Foreign Influence Task Force (CFITF).

However, as early as mid-February 2020, CISA (via CFITF) had already started to monitor domestic speech about Covid – nearly a month before the pandemic was officially declared by the UN’s WHO, and before orders started to be issued to shut down schools and businesses in the US.

Even though several layers deep, CFITF was still a government entity, and in order to circumvent constitutional issues related to censorship of online speech, the document indicates that the unit turned to what AFL brands “the censorship industrial complex” – specifically, its private sector component.

These were “fact checkers,” “bias raters” and similar that keep cropping up in revelations about the Covid-era censorship: Atlantic Council DFR Lab, Media Matters, Stanford Internet Observatory, Alliance for Securing Democracy, Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) (a UK-based group, which now passes as “British-American”), Global Disinformation Index (GDI), and even an openly foreign government project, EU’s “EU vs. Disinfo.”

Fauci Is Back!

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s reputation has long polarized public opinion.  Whereas some view him as a scientific beacon guiding the world through a pandemic, others criticize his perceived inconsistency, advocacy for extreme policies, and support for ethically questionable research.

Fauci’s recent article in Clinical Infectious Diseases, subtitled “Shared Lessons from Two Pandemics,” further deepens the divide.  Despite being framed as a “viewpoint” piece, the article raises serious concerns about Fauci’s injection of political bias and selective presentation of facts.  By leveraging the credibility of a respected medical journal, Fauci transforms a platform intended for impartial scientific discourse into a tool for advancing narratives that align with his political perspective.  This undermines trust in the objectivity of scientific publications and blurs the line between evidence-based guidance and personal ideology.  Two of Fauci’s eight “lessons” stand out as particularly disconcerting.

Distorting Views on Political Leadership

One of Fauci’s key lessons asserts, “With pandemics, political leadership at the highest level is critical.”  Though superficially uncontroversial, his accompanying analysis betrays a palpable bias against President Trump, supported by dubious citations.  Fauci claims that Trump “frequently minimized the seriousness of the pandemic,” citing a biased CNN article that paints a one-dimensional narrative by tracking Trump statements suggesting that COVID-19 would disappear.

A closer look at some of the quoted remarks reveals a more complex picture.  For example, on March 10, 2020, CNN highlights Trump saying, “It will go away.  Just stay calm.  It will go away.”  Although this quote implies dismissal, the same press conference includes Trump saying, “With all of that being said, we’re taking this unbelievably seriously, and I think we’re doing a really good job.  And, again, the task force … has been fantastic.”

Similarly, on July 21, 2020, CNN quotes Trump as saying, “Well, the virus will disappear.  It will disappear.”  In that same press briefing, Trump also remarked, “And then this came in, and the plague — I call it the ‘plague’ — the plague came in.  A terrible thing.  Should’ve been stopped.  Wasn’t stopped.  It came in.  We had to shut things down to save potentially millions of lives.  We did that.”  Fauci omits the fuller context, instead relying on CNN’s selective excerpts to reinforce his biased narrative of negligence.

URGENT: Yale researchers have found Covid spike protein in the blood of people never infected with Covid – years after they got mRNA jabs

Yale University scientists have found Covid spike protein in the blood of people who received Covid mRNA shots – up to two years after they received the jabs.

The people were never infected with Covid, antibody tests show, and our immune systems rapidly destroy newly produced spike proteins. The finding suggests some people who took the shots may be making the proteins on their own.

A possible reason is that genetic material delivered in the shots has integrated with human genes and is continuing to activate protein-making structures in our cells. If found to be correct, this explanation has serious implications for mRNA vaccine safety and the more than 1 billion people who received mRNA Covid doses.

To be clear, the finding does not provide definitive proof of genetic integration, or what researchers call “transfection.” For that, researchers must extract DNA from human cells and find the genetic sequences the vaccine delivers. How frequently the spike protein is appearing and whether the levels might have clinically significant consequences are also unclear.

The researchers have reported finding spike protein on conference calls with participants in their study in October and again this week. Two people independently told Unreported Truths of the study’s findings.
