COVID-19 USA--Revolving Door @ the Wuhan Lab--U.S. VISIT MISSING LINK

     "...it certainly stokes conspiracy theories which are abundant lately..."      

     (The Lab)--With recent unverified claims passing back and forth between the US administration, Beijing and the press, the topic of discussion has become the lab in Wuhan just a sneeze from the wet market where Patient Zero first contracted the virus.
     Whether intentional or not, it didn't have to be that the virus, a virus, any virus, might have escaped the facility and found its way into a global pandemic. The lab's own website is plagued with a hit list of visiting dignitaries who came and went in the past couple of years, none of them, like VP Pence, the least concerned with wearing a mask, choosing rather the photo opp wearing only their smiling faces. The most recent delegation to tour the lab was in February, 2019, at least according to the website, and it was from Kenya;
   
     "On Feb 23, under the organization and coordination of Sino-Africa Joint Research Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Prof. Muhammad Hussein Abdille, the Senior Advisor of the Cabinet Secretary on International Partnership and Collaborations of the Ministry of Education of Kenya and other five delegates, accompanied by Prof. WANG Qingfeng, the Director of the Sino-Africa Joint Research Center, paid a visit to Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)." (WHIOV)


     The long list of lab visitors includes a French delegation in January, 2019. Another news article indicates a large contingent from Africa and is dated November, 2019 but it is published in 2018 and probably a typo. Japanese scientists visited the lab in May 2018. Listed under "Partnerships" are the University of North Texas and U of Alabama and Harvard U. from the USA.

     Curiously, a link that was available in late March reporting a visit by the US State Department to the lab in 2018 has now been removed from the lab's website and cannot be found in the index. The original link was:

http://english.whiov.cas.cn/ne/201804/t20180403_191332.html

The link now shows the following string of characters:

页面没有找到，将在0秒钟后带您返回网站首页 !

which translates to --

     "The face was not found and will take you back to the homepage of the website in 0 seconds!"

It originally followed the visit by the French delegation with the link  @ 191331
Obviously, the link was there at one time or the evidence at the photo above would not have been available. Pictured in the US State visit to the lab;
   
     "On March 27th, Mr. Rick Switzer, Counselor of Environment, Science, Technology and Health Section of Embassy of the United States in China, accompanied by the U.S. Consul General in Wuhan, Mr. Jamison Fouss, visited Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)," (191332)
There appears no explanation for the disappearance of the information from the Wuhan lab website and it certainly stokes conspiracy theories which are abundant lately as to the origin of the Covid-19 virus.

Mike Pompeo: 'enormous evidence' coronavirus came from Chinese lab

Secretary of state Mike Pompeo claimed on Sunday there is "enormous evidence" the coronavirus outbreak originated in a Chinese laboratory - but did not provide any of the alleged evidence. Pandemic brings Trump's war on science to the boil - but who will win?

     Due to the nature of the disinformation surrounding the lab, the time has come for a formal Congressional hearing on the veracity of the allegation it was responsible for the outbreak. Witnesses that need to be called are those who have investigated the virus as a possible man-made pathogen to the delegation(s) that actually visited the facility. Why the link to the US State Dept.visit was removed from the website also needs to be addressed. Simply hurling accusations at press briefings isn't good enough and the American people, and the Chinese people, deserve better.

RED FLAG
Checkpoint Charlie: NATO, Article 5 and the Berlin Wall
There was no North American Treaty Organization, NATO, immediately following the close of World War Two. By the close of the decade, due to pressure from the Soviet Union, particularly in Germany, the alliance was formed with 12 initial members. The concept of “collective security” had been around for over 30 years, at least on the Continent, with respect to the World War One League of Nations; neither the United States nor the Soviet Union were members.

Red Flag: The U.S.-Japan Security Pact of 1960
The recent statement by the White House concerning a “bilateral” treaty between the United States and Japan from 1960 raised the issue of the former’s lack of a security-military commitment, with the latter doing the heavy lifting. It comes as no surprise in light of other treaties such as NATO in Europe with the U.S. again carrying The Weight.
Part and parcel to how it all unfolded had to do with certain ambiguous positions by the two nations coupled with the American public not totally informed of the agreement. The situation was quite different in Japan. (09 March 2025)
