Welcome back to Fox AMP friends, a bizarre new disinformation campaign in China, claiming that Covid 19 was imported to Wuhan through a shipment of Maine lobsters this, as the National Institutes of Health admit that the? U DOT S did fund gain of function. Research in Wuhan, contradicting previous claims from Dr Fauci here to react, is former state department. Spokesperson, Morgan Orortagus, welcome. First of all, Morgan always great to see you. This is the first time good morning, Rachel Rachel, try to say this came from the: U Dot S, but now they are doubling down. Why are they doing this now, when its become apparent to everybody that its come from the Wuhan LAB, because there is no accountability for anything that they have done for the past year and a half and they are trying everything they can to deflect from the Wuhan LAB and theres a pattern of who
they accuse of actually being the people or the country to start Covid 19? So they have of course blamed the? U DOT S army. They have done that on multiple times. They also have blamed Australia. They blamed India. What do these three countries have in common? Obviously, under MIKE Pompeo and President Trump, we stood up to the Chinese Communist Party. Australia had the audacity to call for an independent investigation and, of course, India has been defending themselves defending their territory, neither Himalayas against the chinese incursions there, any country that dare to shine a light on what actually happened or stand up to the Chinese Communist Party. In any way, the Chinese tried to deflect from Wuhan tried to deflect all the accusations and say: oh its Maine lobsters pointedly they tried to blame Maine lobsters because they know that is important: agricultural commodity and export in the United States. So they want to try to deflect and hurt us at the same time- and I would finally say Rachel
just remember the doctors, the journalists, the scientists who knew what was happening about Wuhan and blowing the whistle they have gentleman nicly disappeared in China, Rachel right. That was the first clue. There were problems, whistleblowers were all disappeared and you talk about holding China accountable. Maybe we ought to start holding Dr Fauci Accountable, who did everything he could, and we now have the letters of him colluding with other scientists to try to hide the fact that the? U dot? S was funding gain of function, but, more importantly, just trying to get us off the idea of China when nobody could have known better than Fauci about what was happening in that lab. He was all down with everyone saying that you were racist if you suggested that it came from China, yeah and importantly, it was actually in the Obama administration that we did away with gain of function, research because that administration was concerned about things just like this happening.
So there was a lot of work arounds that the NIH would do. Josh rogin from the Washington Post has reported extensively on this on the work arounds that the NIH would do specifically in this lab and other places around the world to distract try to make it look like they were funding gain of function, research, listen! This is why we live in a democracy. We need to shine the light on anything that we are doing, but ultimately listen. Ultimately, the Chinese Communist Party is trying to escape responsibility for a deadly virus that they have unleashed on the world. There is still no real independent investigation into what happened. There is still no accountability and the world is asleep Rachel right. Our government appears to be an apologist for the chinese government in this cover up, and you have to wonder why maybe its thanks a lot Morgan for sharing this information, its so important, most important topic going on right now,.
