Excerpts:

But experts interviewed by The Defender said the bill requires the declassification only of documents related to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China — the epicenter of the “lab leak theory.”

They suggested the limitations may be intended to reduce the culpability of U.S. and private actors in the potential leak of — or development of — COVID-19, by placing full blame on China and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Independent journalist Sam Husseini said Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), the Senate’s co-sponsor of the COVID-19 Origin Act, made “claims about the bill which are false.”

Husseini told The Defender the bill may be acting as a “limited hangout” with the purpose of acknowledging the “lab leak theory” on the one hand, but via legislation that “makes us accept half of the truth.”

Francis Boyle, J.D., Ph.D., professor of international law at the University of Illinois, told The Defender, “I’m afraid this [bill] is going to be a classic Nixonian limited hangout” that “does not call for the declassification of all those sources [that] should be declassified and/or released.”

Boyle said any information that is declassified “is going to be helpful,” but that the bill’s provision allowing redactions raises concern.

Husseini noted that the bill also makes no provisions for providing information that several groups, including U.S. Right to Know and some media organizations, have requested — but not yet received — via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) submissions. Husseini said this information “is not classified but is being withheld.”  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Many are concerned that this is possibly being done to pin the blame entirely upon China when the U.S. obviously played a major role.

The other issue is the fact everyone keeps reinforcing the assumption it was all a big mistake by calling it a “lab leak,” when it very well may have been intentional.  Then, there’s the hypothesis of envenomation that’s being completely ignored, and the fact “approved” medications not only don’t work for COVID, but they are dangerously toxic.  All of these issues matter and are linked, and affect each other.  A walk down memory lane with HIV/AIDS reveals an eerily similar MO deployed by those in power.
