Quick takeaways
Texas Governor Abbott defies President Biden's immigration policies by putting up razor wire at the border, using the border issue as a political tool.
Biden administration asks China to urge Iran to control Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, but there has been no Chinese pressure so far.
Evidence suggests that virologists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were interested in creating and testing engineered viruses with features found in SARS-CoV-2, raising questions about the lab leak theory.
Texas Governor Abbott has declared a state of invasion and is defying President Biden's immigration policies. After a Supreme Court ruling that Texas officials cannot obstruct federal border patrol agents, Abbott has continued to put up razor wire at the border. The Biden administration is saying they are not at war in the Middle East, despite bombing three countries. Republicans are using the border issue as a political tool, with Abbott possibly becoming a rising star in the Republican Party. The Biden administration has asked China to urge Iran to rein in Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, but there has been no Chinese pressure so far.
Unique features of SARS-CoV-2 linked to research in Wuhan
Scientists proposed creating viruses with unique features of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, raising questions about the origin of COVID-19. Unusual features of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, which made it highly pathogenic, were the focus of research by top virologists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Researchers initially claimed to conduct high-risk virology at UNC, but secretly outsourced the work to Wuhan.
Unusual SARS-CoV-2 features tied to Wuhan research
The Wuhan Institute of Virology was engaged in research on the unique features of SARS-CoV-2 that made it highly pathogenic. Scientists from the institute collaborated with top coronavirus virologists to study the rare features of the virus. While they initially claimed to be conducting risky research at UNC, they were secretly outsourcing the work to Wuhan.
Research links Wuhan Institute of Virology to SARS-CoV-2 features
Scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were involved in studying the distinct features of SARS-CoV-2 that contributed to its high pathogenicity. These features were of interest to top coronavirus virologists and researchers. Although they claimed to be conducting high-risk virology at UNC, the work was secretly outsourced to Wuhan.
Evidence of Engineering in SARS-CoV-2
The podcast episode discusses new evidence indicating the possibility of engineering in the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Documents obtained indicate that virologists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were interested in creating and testing engineered viruses with specific features found in SARS-CoV-2, such as a fear and cleavage site at the spike protein and a receptor binding domain for ACE2. The papers also highlight the purchase of an enzyme necessary for this research. These findings suggest that the origin of SARS-CoV-2 may not be purely natural and raises questions about the potential lab leak theory.
Controversy and Lack of Mainstream Media Coverage
The podcast episode exposes the limited mainstream media coverage and reluctance to follow up on the evidence regarding the origin of SARS-CoV-2. The reluctance may stem from personal relationships and admiration for Dr. Anthony Fauci, as well as the cultural irrelevance of mainstream media outlets. The episode notes the immense impact of the pandemic on global health, geopolitics, and economy, and highlights the importance of continued scientific inquiry and investigation to understand the origin of the virus. Audience support, such as subscribing to the newsletter, is encouraged to further explore the topic.
