With the present revelations that both the FBI and the US Department of Energy both believe that the Covid-19 virus was released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, China, the issue still remains of the role the US played in this, given the evidence of US funding of coronavirus research in that institution. Drew Allen attempts to answer the puzzle, about why the US would fund gain-of-function research in communist China. One might think that this is because the same research could not be done in the US, but there was always the Ukraine, the most corrupt country in Europe, with its ample US-backed bioweapons labs. The communists could always turn on one.
One hypothesis, discussed below, by Drew Allen, is that the US Department of Defense has a leading role in developing mRNA technology, and was looking for a mass testing ground. DARPA had been working on mRNA technology for some time, and thus was able to work in getting a vaccine up in record time, a vaccine which failed. Still, how exactly did communist China get involved, and why the release in China? There is yet any plausible explanation as to why the Chinese were involved at all. All I can think of is that there was cooperation in the gain-of-function research, but then something went wrong, and things took an unexpected turn. Either the US caused the lab leak, or the CCP decided that this would be a fine bioweapon to release, to damage the West. This is one “whodunit” that we would dearly like an answer to.
