It’s long been known, at least through basic intuition, that U.S. government officials went to great lengths to cover up the origins of the COVID-19 virus. Former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci infamously spent years publicly deflecting blame from China. Emails would later emerge showing Wuhan Institute of Virology funder Peter Daszak had emailed Fauci to thank him for dismissing the lab leak theory.
If you aren’t familiar with the entire saga, which is long and winding, be sure to check out Scott Hounsell’s extensive reporting on the matter. The level of corruption will blow your mind.

But while we’ve known about the direct involvement of Fauci and others, just how deep did the Biden administration’s obsession with protecting the Chinese go? A new report is shedding some light on that question, and the answers are astonishing.
🚨New revelations by WSJ on how Biden-Harris Admin covered up COVID-19’s origins, including spy leaders excluding the FBI (at the time allegedly the only U.S. intel agency that had assessed Covid likely came from a Wuhan lab) from the 2021 briefing of Biden. But that’s not all… pic.twitter.com/RA4jHWHNfr

The situation can be complicated and hard to follow, but if you read the above excerpts provided by Jerry Dunleavy, it boils down to this: There was a rabid, seemingly inexplicable desire by most of the federal government under Joe Biden to rebuff any suggestion COVID-19 leaked from a lab.
Much of that effort centers on an April 2021 assessment that was presented to Biden and would become the backbone of his administration’s response to the origins of the virus. As is revealed above, the FBI had ascertained a lab leak from Wuhan was the most likely explanation, placing a “moderate confidence” in their findings. Notably, that was the highest level of confidence applied by any of the other intelligence arms despite the rest of them backing the “zootonic theory” of natural origins. Yet, no one from the FBI was even present at the briefing with Biden to present the counter.
At the time, the FBI was the only agency that concluded a lab leak was likely, a judgment it had rendered with “moderate confidence.” But neither Bannan nor any other FBI officials were at the briefing to make their case first hand to the president.
“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,” Bannan recalled in his first on-the-record interview on the subject. “I find it surprising that the White House didn’t ask.”
It wasn’t just the FBI either. Scientists from the National Center for Medical Intelligence also backed the lab leak theory. They even specifically cited evidence that “gain of function” research was taking place in Wuhan despite that being dismissed as a conspiracy theory by Fauci and others.
The findings of those scientists were scuttled altogether, though, because the Defense Intelligence Agency had come to a different conclusion and seemed to have no stomach for entertaining the label leak theory. Are you starting to see how this web of intelligence agencies can be manipulated to present a certain narrative regardless of the truth?
Three scientists at the National Center for Medical Intelligence, part of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, conducted a scientific study that concluded that Covid-19 was manipulated in a laboratory in a risky research effort. But that analysis was at odds with the assessment of their parent agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and wasn’t incorporated in the report presented to Biden.
Here’s where things get even more sketchy. While the FBI was pushing to have the lab leak theory taken seriously, the World Health Organization released its “report” endorsing the natural origin theory of COVID-19. Many people rightly dismissed those findings as tainted by overbearing Chinese influence, but one State Department official didn’t. That would be Adrienne Keen. She stepped in to provide a push for the WHO’s report to be accepted as viable evidence of a natural origin.
Guess what happened just three months later? She was made director of the Global Health Security for the National Intelligence Council. What a coincidence, right? She steps up to promote the China-preferred narrative and suddenly gets a high-level promotion putting her in charge of organizing the report on the origins of COVID-19.
The FBI was already supporting the lab theory, but Adrienne Keen, a State Department official who had served as a consultant to WHO, advocated for taking the zoonotic theory seriously. She said that the WHO report shouldn’t be completely discounted, according to participants.
Keen, who had a Ph.D. in infectious disease modeling from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, left the State Department shortly after the 90-day sprint to become the director for Global Health Security for the National Intelligence Council. The council was given a central role in organizing the report under the supervision of James Murphy, the national intelligence officer for weapons of mass destruction.
It is impossible to ignore what appears to be a disturbing level of Chinese influence in the Biden administration. Whether that was being dictated from abroad or simply Biden officials being so entangled with the CCP that they felt the need to dismiss the lab leak theory on their own isn’t that relevant. What’s relevant is that a presidential administration was and remains inundated with people operating as Chinese proxies. That they were willing to manipulate national intelligence on an issue as important as COVID-19 should leave people questioning everything asserted by the federal government.
As to Joe Biden himself, there’s a certain level of deniability that appears to have been built in. As far as we know publicly, he was bombarded with intelligence heads promoting the natural origins theory. Yet, given the Biden family’s extensive ties to China, including monetarily, it doesn’t take much imagination to assume that the president wasn’t as oblivious as he wanted the public to believe. This is a massive cover-up, and it feels like the surface has just been scratched. The incoming Donald Trump administration needs to dig much deeper into this issue.
