The FBI found evidence suggesting that COVID-19 was caused by a lab leak but were not allowed to brief the president, it has been claimed. The Telegraph has more.
Jason Bannan, a doctor of microbiology and former senior scientist at the FBI, has dedicated more than a year of his life to discovering the origins of Covid.
But despite being the only U.S. national intelligence agency to conclude that a lab leak was likely, the FBI and Mr. Bannan were snubbed from a National Intelligence Council briefing with Joe Biden, it has been claimed.
Mr. Biden had ordered an urgent investigation in May 2021 by U.S. intelligence agencies and national laboratories to identify whether the virus had been transferred from an animal to a human or had escaped from a Chinese laboratory.
One of the most popular theories at the time was that it had been transferred from a bat at a “wet market” in Wuhan, where the virus first emerged in 2019.
The National Intelligence Council (NIC), a body of senior intelligence officers that organised the review, had concluded with “low confidence” that COVID-19 had been transmitted from an animal to a human, along with four intelligence agencies.
This was then presented by Avril Haines, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and two of her senior analysts, to President Biden and his top aides in August 2021.
The FBI had not only concluded a lab leak was likely but that it had “moderate confidence” in its assessment – more than any other agency – and had expected to make this case to the White House but no officials from the agency were invited to do so.
In his first interview, Mr. Bannan told the Wall Street Journal: “Being the only agency that assessed that a laboratory origin was more likely, and the agency that expressed the highest level of confidence in its analysis of the source of the pandemic, we anticipated the FBI would be asked to attend the briefing.
“I find it surprising that the White House didn’t ask.”
A spokeswoman for the DNI’s office told the newspaper that the differing views among the intelligence community had been fairly represented and it wasn’t standard practice to invite representatives from individual agencies to briefings for the President.
The office of the DNI and the NIC’s work on COVID-19 origins “complied with all of the intelligence community’s analytic standards, including objectivity”, the spokeswoman said.
Mr. Bannan, who joined the FBI as part of the agency’s efforts to bolster its expertise in germ weapons, toxins and biological warfare post 9/11, has since retired, but is calling for the evidence backing a lab leak theory to be reassessed.
“What ended up on the intelligence community’s cutting-room floor needs to be re-examined,” he said.
The conclusion from the U.S. review published in August 2021 was that it would be hard to confirm the origin without cooperation from China.
China’s only cooperation has so far been a joint report with the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2021 which said the virus most likely moved from bats to humans via another animal.
However, other U.S. officials also suspected that Covid may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology where scientists that had genetically engineered coronaviruses worked, according to declassified U.S. government documents.

FBI Found Evidence Covid Was Lab Leak
A leak? As in an accident? As in something unintended? As in something unplanned? I don’t think so.
“complied with all of the intelligence community’s analytic standards” – well of course it did.
it’s just that those standards are abysmally low and includes accepting made up bollocks as gospel, and ignoring indeed suppressing inconvenient facts.
The wet market theory was cover for gain of function research gone wrong.
Weapons of mass destruction was cover for invading Iraq.
“Russian interference” is cover for cancelling Romanian elections.
“Russian collusion” was cover to prosecute Trump.
“Non-crime hate incidents” are cover to censor popular dissent against establishment policy.
And every time the media, the establishment media specifically, are the goons that do the establishments bidding and smother the population with the “correct” narrative.
The game has changed though thanks to the Internet, smart phones and social media that give us the opportunity to find accurate, real information.
At least for now. Because they are working on the psyop to shut it down. The psyop that social media is a source of disinformation that threatens democracy. And poisons the minds of our young.
And the population, gullible as always, lap it up.
It’s so hard to live in a world populated by people with the mentality of slaves.
Does this matter?
The C1984 is quite probably nothing more than re-badged ‘flu. Actually it doesn’t matter what it was all that matters is that the Davos Deviants used it to orchestrate the greatest psy-op ever pulled on the world. That is the bottom line. It was the means of ushering in their great reset which amongst other things requires demolition of western nations, depopulation accompanied by population replacement and the institution of One World Government. All of which entails 15 minute cities, removal of private transport, digital ID, population immiseration, banking upheaval if not outright collapse and so on.
The origin of the C1984? As I have stated more than once – am I bothered?
Planned – dating back to 2016 and beyond.
Part of it was to stop Drumpf winning in 2020, which he did, but that election was stolen (~30 mn vote fraud).
People who are TV-lamestream ‘news’ abusers bought the Rona scam, hook, line, and sinker.
They self identify as scientific.
I will remind readers that to conduct ‘gain of function’ on a virus, one has to first properly isolate and purify it first.
The world is still waiting.
I don’t think that is necessary. They synthesised it.
Synthesised what exactly?
There was no virus.
Denis Rancourt and colleagues (https://denisrancourt.ca) analysed mortality data from 125 countries which clearly showed that deaths in the Covid period (2020 to 2023) were not caused by a virus.
In scientific terms, The spatiotemporal all-cause mortality during the Covid period disproves that the excess deaths could have been caused by the spreading contagion of any novel virus or its postulated variants.
His team compared, for example, mortality data from neighbouring European countries:
A further illustration is provided by the east-to-west brochette of border-sharing countries Portugal-Spain-France-Germany-Poland, which has dramatically different all-cause mortality versus time curves during the Covid period, not in any sequence consistent with human-contact-mediated spreading of the cause of excess mortality. In particular the large March-April 2020 feature in Spain is accompanied by a synchronous weaker such peak in France and does not give rise to delayed similar features in neighbouring countries, which would be expected in a spread hypothesis.
It is indeed not difficult to access mortality data on the internet, which I did at the time. My attachment shows a comparison of 12 years of mortality data from Germany compared with the equivalent values for England and Wales. There is no comparison to the huge spike in British deaths centred on April 2020 in the German data. (The large spike at the beginning of March in the German data was caused by a severe flu wave in 2018.)
Denis Rancourt described the excess mortality during the Covid period as being primarily due to iatrogenic deaths in vulnerable groups:
There was an estimated 31 million excess deaths worldwide during the Covid period, prior to 2023.
This Covid-period pandemic of mortality was caused by the coordinated and large-scale mandates, measures, so-called responses, and medical assaults including testing, diagnostic bias, isolation, denial of treatment (especially antibiotics for pneumonia), mechanical ventilation, sedation, experimental and improper treatments, and vaccination.
These factors produced a pandemic of effectively transmissionless self-infection bacterial pneumonias induced by the resulting biological stress (in the sense of medical researcher Hans Selye, which includes psychological stress), especially targeting the sick and elderly.
In the big picture, this was an unprecedented mass assault against our populations perpetrated by evil design at the highest levels, enabled by the indoctrinated and spineless professional classes (politicians, clinicians, scientists, judges, media, executives…).
He considers the discussions on bats, wet markets, virus variants, lab leaks and so on, to be purely diversionary tactics because:
This diverts our minds away from the mass crime, away from the injustice, and away from sustained demands and efforts for accountability.
I agree-100% – the last paragraph says it all.
Insofar as Viruses don’t exist, I’m firmly in the camp of believing they exist, but do not exist in the way bigpharma would have us all, especially and unfortunately most medics, believe.
There are billions of different types of random? chains of nucleotides existing in all of us and the air we breathe. What’s so special that an unimaginably small and special fraction of them cause “disease” – there is every possibility that the computer modelled PCR etc tests just pick up traces of “nucleotides” which are merely remnants of the bodies’ own defence mechanisms carrying out cellular housekeeping.
The truth is much research is needed into the transmission/viability of “disease” but proper answers would not suit bigpharma.
Eat well, exercise and try to stay happy!
Virology is a fantasy science. The biology is based on modelling and assumptions. The evidence is not there. Pointing to disease, “pathogens” and contagion – just like pointing to “chemtrails” in the sky – and telling a story, doesn’t mean the assumed causation is real.
JJ Couey is the best on this – though his ranting and ad hominem attacks on just about everyone in the medical freedom movement is off-putting. Watch his latest presentation to MD4CV at

The threat of deadly pandemics caused by escaping pathogens is a distraction. The threat of man-made actions to frighten, mislead and kill people is real.
Biden was a vegetable from day 1,,,he could not ask any questions, apart from when it was going to be ice cream time .
So someone else was not briefed…who.
I think the question at the moment is not if it was developed in a lab and escaped but whether it was released on purpose as part of a well rehearsed plan. What a money maker. And the virus was not even deadly, in fact, there was not even a real pandemic, all manufactured. What the planners failed to take into account is the destruction caused by politicians and public health officials given unfettered emergency powers.
