CNN: Biden Shut Down Trump Admin Probe into Origins of COVID-19 in China

President Joe Biden shut down a State Department probe this spring into the origins of COVID-19 in China that was launched by the Trump administration under Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last fall, according to a CNN report Tuesday.

Last year, concerns voiced by President Donald Trump that COVID-19 might have escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China, were dismissed by media fact-checkers as conspiracy theories. Now, however, those concerns are gaining traction.

The Biden administration has said that it wants China to be more transparent, and wants the World Health Organization (WHO) to conduct an independent inquiry. But the WHO is widely seen as having helped China cover up the pandemic

 CNN reported:

Quote

    President Joe Biden‘s team shut down a closely-held State Department effort launched late in the Trump administration to prove the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab over concerns about the quality of its work, according to three sources familiar with the decision.

    The existence of the State Department inquiry and its termination this spring by the Biden administration — neither of which has been previously reported — comes to light amid renewed interest in whether the virus could have leaked out of a Wuhan lab with links to the Chinese military. The Biden administration is also facing scrutiny of its own efforts to determine if the Chinese government was responsible for the virus.

    Those involved in the previously undisclosed inquiry, which was launched last fall by allies of then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, say it was an honest effort to probe what many initially dismissed: that China’s biological weapons program could have had a greater role in the pandemic’s origin in Wuhan, according to two additional sources.

    But the inquiry quickly became mired in internal discord amid concerns that it was part of a broader politicized effort by the Trump administration to blame China and cherry-pick facts to prove a theory.

Say it ain't so, Joe. Maybe Jen pSaki will circle back on that today if anyone in the White Hut press corpse questions this.   Everyone knows China has Joe by the ball sack.

It's not unusual for a new administration to stop something started by a previous administration.

Everything, no.

Everything for a short review, maybe.

OK, he shut down the State Department investigation.  Since there hopefully will be a commission very soon to investigate that, that is likely why he did that.  No point in having two happen at the same time.  ??

When the investigation shutdown happened there was no other investigation in progress or in prospect:

And when Biden's team was briefed on the investigation's findings in February and March, they decided to shut it down amid concerns about the legitimacy of the evidence, sources say.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

No,there will not be a US led investigation. The Biden Admin is on the record saying any investigation will be conducted by the WHO. W.H.O. is under the control of the ChiComs, and they won't do anything.

It is no longer a "theory".
Even Fauci admits it was developed in China.
The only thing left to prove is whether or not China released COVID on the world intentionally.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Whether or not the release was intentional (I think not), their decision to try and cover it up was definitely intentional, and this decision delayed a response from countries other than China that could have delayed, lessened or even halted the spread of the disease.

It was well planned and executed IMHO.

After the initial outbreak, China restricted travel from Wuhan to any other part of China.
However at the same time, China allowed all international flights from Wuhan to all over the world with no notification of the infection.
Now they brag how they 'contained' the outbreak while other countries struggle.

Tucker Carlson: Fauci, the WHO, and mainstream media lied about COVID origins for more than a year
'Even as of now, the US government has not launched and broad and serious investigation into where the coronavirus came from'

However at the same time, China allowed all international flights from Wuhan to all over the world with no notification of the infection.
Now they brag how they 'contained' the outbreak while other countries struggle.

The outbreak was recognized as something new by Wuhan hospital doctors in early December 2019. Word of the outbreak leaked to the outside world on December 31. Two to three week delay.

The DNA of the virus was sequence on or before January 1, 2020. The sequence was leaked to the outside world on January 10, 2020. One-and-a-half to two week delay.

On or before December 25, 2019, Wuhan doctors were warning each other to take special precautions when working with patients with certain symptoms. From December 31, 2018 through January 20, 2020 Chinese health officials denied there was any evidence of human-to-human transmission. WHO was China's running-dog co-liar. Three-and-a-half to four week delay.

There is no way China can be trusted to release full and accurate information relevant to the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak and the origin of the virus. WHO has been China's partner in deception. WHO cannot be trusted regarding anything Covid.

Looks like Biden may have rethought the decision to outsource the investigation on COVID to WHO (or this is just another deception, who knows):
