So I'll take Peter's challenge: here's a plausible lab origin hypothesis that fits both the data and the post-emergence timeline in China. In 2019, a researcher from Wuhan was infected by a lineage A progenitor of SARS-CoV-2, becoming the index case of the Covid pandemic. 18/🧵

First, the concessions, because they matter. ODNI did release a declassified slide deck on June 12, under outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard. US-funded labs in Ukraine are real. Black & Veatch did build them. Trump did sign a gain of function executive order. None of that is in dispute.

THREAD | Russian propaganda is circulating a map claiming a new US intelligence document "confirms" American bioweapons labs in Ukraine. The document is real. What it actually says is close to the opposite of the claim. Let me walk through it.

As I said... This is not pure idiocy, useful or otherwise. This is intentional abuse of power and, in fact, falsifications, all in furtherance of the interests of a foreign adversary.
EXCLUSIVE: 🚨 @TulsiGabbard Recycled Published Russian Intelligence And Claimed It Was An Official American Intelligence Document In Her Latest Act Of Deception Days Before She Is Set To “Resign” As DNI 🚨 In her “Ukrainian Bio lab” document “declassification” release this week, I’ve discovered that DNI Tulsi Gabbard used graphics from official Russian intelligence documents and slapped an ODNI @ODNIgov logo on top of these same documents to present them as an official intel report created by the US government. Upon further analysis of Tulsi Gabbard’s most recent declassification related to Ukraine, I have discovered evidence that she is directly peddling Russian government propaganda. Here’s the evidence: Source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.… Slide 1 ironically includes an IC assessment that claims Russia will attempt to spread false narratives about the US’s bio labs in Ukraine, which is exactly what @TulsiGabbard just helped the Russian Government do. Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and which contains basic spelling and geographical errors, making a mockery of the US government. Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corporation (Black and Veatch) that worked with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine. The Russian Government claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Government then widely publicized these products in their own official reports in 2022. Gabbard’s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian Government in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agencies. Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russian Government to the UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week. Source: the-trench.org/wp-content/up… Gabbard’s intent with this deception is to conflate the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine. Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research. But what is clear is Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act. My FOIA request to ODNI regarding the production of these documents is being submitted on Monday morning. By law, ODNI has 10 business days to respond. I look forward to reading the emails. The Trump administration should order ODNI to take these Russian documents down today. This is embarrassing for the Trump administration. Nice to know ODNI gets their “intel” and their graphics from Russian intelligence. See photographic evidence below 👇🏻

SEN. KELLY: How many times have Vance and Rubio been to Ukraine? Zero. Has Trump been to Ukraine? No. He invited Putin to United States, but he still failed to send anybody at high level in his government to visit Ukraine. Have Kushner or Witkoff been to Ukraine? They have not.

OTD in 1941 Soviets started forcibly deporting 50,000 of the Baltic people we had ‘liberated from fascism’. 60% died. 75% were women & kids Imagine mass deportations happening today..

OTD in 1952 we shot down a Swedish Air Force DC-3 in international airspace. Later in the day we shot down a search & rescue plane looking for it We denied it until 1991.

I’d like to remind everyone that four years ago, the online morons obsessed with “biolabs in Ukraine” were dead serious when they claimed that Russia was “forced” to invade Ukraine because scientists there were developing “viruses” capable of selectively killing only ethnic Russians. Yes, it’s all that imbecilic.

❌russian propaganda has distorted a US intelligence report on biological laboratories in Ukraine. The pretext for this manipulation was a US National Intelligence publication regarding facilities supported under the Cooperative Threat Reduction Programme.

TLDR on the Ukrainian "biolabs": - Biological research laboratories exist in Ukraine, just as they do in virtually every developed country. They are used for medical research, disease surveillance, veterinary, public health monitoring, and vaccine development. - A biological research lab is not the same thing as a biological weapons program. It is also not necessarily the same thing as a biodefense facility. These terms are often incorrectly used interchangeably. - The existence of these facilities was not a secret. Many were publicly known and listed on the official websites by both Ukrainian and U.S. government agencies - After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States and other partners funded programs to help secure dangerous pathogens, improve laboratory safety, and reduce the risk of accidental releases. It wasn’t about charity or weapons development - preventing outbreaks is far cheaper than dealing with the consequences of a leak. - The key claim made by Russians and some internet commentators is not that labs existed, but that they were evidence of a secret U.S.-run biological weapons program. The document released by the DNI has no evidence supporting that claim.

Ukraine doesn’t have any biosafety level-4 labs, like Russia, China and Belarus have. Like the one in Wuhan. Your obsession with Ukraine looks prejudiced & discriminatory at this point. You had 30 countries in your list, why did you specifically decide to call out this one? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosaf… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuhan_…

The origins of SARS-CoV-2 remain heavily classified and the best ODNI has produced publicly is a 5 page pamphlet. A heavily redacted 4-pager on BSL-2s in Ukraine isn't helping "flip the deep state".

When it comes to Vatnik Soups, it's ironic that the highest number of violent threats came after we wrote about so-called "peace advocates" like Julian Assange. Here are the top five Soups by number of threats, in case you're interested: 1. Kim Dotcom 2. Julian Assange 3. Diana Panchenko 4. Tommy Robinson 5. Andrew Tate
