WHO Report on Covid-19's Origins Is an Avalanche of Misdirection

The World Health Organization released its joint report on the origins of Covid-19 on Tuesday, but historians of science will study it for decades-if for no other reason than the obvious discomfort of its 34-author team.

What will remain is the truth: the original Covid-19 outbreak in Wuhan occurred well before the disease rose to international awareness and lockdowns began-most likely in October 2019.

The WHO joint report inferentially rejects, then resurrects by caveat, the possibility of an October origin dozens of times.

On page 47, for example, the report describes how, in January of this year, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention representatives asked 233 Wuhan health institutions to survey potential early cases of Covid-19 in their records from December 2019.

In a report in The Lancet on January 24, 2020, authorized by the Chinese National Health Commission and presumably approved by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, Wuhan clinicians identified a patient infected on December 1, 2019, who was not connected to the Wuhan seafood market.

Unattributed open-source telemetry analysis acquired and published by the NBC News Verification Unit in London suggests that the Wuhan Institute for Virology experienced zero mobile phone activity at the security gate to its Biolevel 4 Facility between October 7 and October 24, 2019 and also zero vehicular traffic between October 14 and October 19.

Collectively, these published molecular-genetic, medical-record, and doubling-time data, as well as the intelligence evidence verified by news organizations but not fully available to the public, point overwhelmingly to the initial infection of SARS-CoV-2 occurring in Wuhan in early October 2019.
