Once again, mainstream media has left out important aspects about the pandemic, like where did it all begin?

It is not much of a surprise that as we move through this pandemic, more is being revealed as to how the world has been tricked into thinking that this pandemic is more than what it is.

Most recently, there has been a theory that the virus that caused COVID-19 escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China, and biosecurity experts are pushing the American Congress to investigate this theory. “Many threads of investigation are available in the U.S. and would be accessible to a congressional inquiry with subpoena power,” said Rutgers University molecular biologist Richard Ebright, who believes the pandemic resulted from a lab accident.

It appears that Chinese researchers directed the U.S. National Institutes of Health to delete gene sequences of early COVID-19 cases from a key scientific database. This has raised some concerns that scientists studying the origin of the pandemic lack access to key pieces of information. Wouldn’t you know it, the NIH confirmed that it deleted the sequences after receiving a request from a Chinese researcher who had submitted them three months earlier.

Jesse Bloom, a researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, said he found thirteen partial genetic sequences taken from early coronavirus cases in China that were deleted from a US National Institutes of Health database. His examination shows that some of the early cases in the Chinese city of Wuhan are genetically different from the variants that eventually spread causing the pandemic.

In order to determine exactly how and where the virus originated, scientists need to find the so-called progenitor virus, the one from which all other strains descended. So far, the only progenitor virus that has been found are those sampled from cases at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. This was initially thought to be where the novel coronavirus first emerged at the end of December 2019. What has not been disclosed to the public is the fact that earlier cases as far back as November 2019 had no ties to the market. What does this mean? It means that the virus did not emerge from Huanan Seafood Market, but from another spot.

Here is what was found; those from cases found at the market include three mutations that are missing in virus samples from cases that popped up weeks later outside of the market. Scientists are relatively certain that the novel coronavirus somehow emerged from bats, so it’s logical to assume the progenitor would also be missing those mutations.

“This fact suggests that the market sequences, which are the primary focus of the genomic epidemiology in the joint WHO-China report in  are not representative of the viruses that were circulating in Wuhan in late December of 2019 and early January of 2020,” Bloom wrote in his paper uploaded June 22^nd to the preprint database (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.18.449051v1.full.pdf)

Thanks to Bloom’s revelation, it is now known that Aisu Fu and Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University had collected the deleted sequences, and a preprint of the research published from those sequences (referred to as Wang et al. 2020) suggested they came from nose swab samples from outpatients with suspected COVID-19 early in the epidemic.

Bloom couldn’t find any explanation for why the sequences had been deleted, and his emails to both corresponding authors to inquire received no response.

I realize that at this point, people don’t care where the virus originated, what they do care about is how it changed their lives forever. What this article is meant to do is to highlight the fact that something is definitely wrong with how this virus has been reported by the news, and we have to hold the media responsible for misleading millions and millions of people.
