The US Department of Energy thinks that the COVID-19 outbreak started in a lab in Wuhan, China.
There have been rumors that the Chinese government asked Twitter CEO Elon Musk not to retweet anything that could be seen as supporting the idea that the coronavirus was released from a lab.
The chilling social media warning came from the government-backed newspaper Global Times. In response to Elon Musk’s tweet, which said that “COVID-19 was likely made in a lab in Wuhan, China,” a counterargument has been published.
At first, “Kanekoa The Great” tweeted that Dr. Anthony Fauci supported “gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab,” which suggested that Fauci had helped make COVID-19.
Musk says that a Chinese NGO used a “pass-through organization” to launder almost $8 million in federal research grants meant to study bat coronaviruses (EcoHealth).
They didn’t want to work with Musk because they thought he would “spoil the pot of China.” CNBC’s Eunice Yoon was the first to report on the warning. She said that the saying is similar to the phrase “to bite the hand that feeds you.”
China is now the company’s second-largest market for electric vehicles (EVs), after the United States. The company’s huge manufacturing campus in China is a big reason for this.
The COVID-19 pandemic may have started in a lab in Wuhan, China, according to an intelligence report commissioned by the Department of Energy and given to the Wall Street Journal.
Most people didn’t believe the rumors about a “slab leak.” The initial spread of the pandemic was slowed by efforts by progressives and the mainstream media to get “misinformation” taken down from social media sites.
