May 23, 2021: Three researchers from the Chinese Institute of Virology in Wuhan were seriously ill with Covid-19 as early as November 2019, to the point of requiring hospital treatment.

This was revealed by a US intelligence report kept top secret so far, and revealed by the Wall Street Journal.

A thesis that feeds the pressing requests to launch a more complete investigation in order to ascertain whether the Covid-19 virus may have really escaped from the laboratory.

The report supports the thesis of a State Department information sheet, released during the last days of the Trump administration, according to which several researchers from the Chinese laboratory (it is a center for the study of coronaviruses and other pathogens) have fallen ill. in autumn 2019 "with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and the common seasonal disease". In short, there are possibilities that the virus escaped from a laboratory, and that it was not 'the fault' of the pangolin. Just a few days ago the 'in chief' immunologist of the White House, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases (Niaid), responding to the Agi on the sidelines of a meeting at the Italian embassy in Washington, had admitted not to exclude that the virus "was created in the laboratory. "And he added:" It is important that an independent, objective, non-partisan investigation is carried out. "And no later than ten days ago, in an article published by the journal 'Science', a twenty scientists active in some of the most prestigious research centers in the world, suggested not to exclude with certainty that the origin of the pandemic was a Coronavirus escape from the Wuhan virology laboratory - in other words, an accident.about twenty scientists active in some of the most prestigious research centers in the world, suggested not to exclude with certainty that the origin of the pandemic was a Coronavirus escape from the Wuhan virology laboratory. In other words, an accident.about twenty scientists active in some of the most prestigious research centers in the world, suggested not to exclude with certainty that the origin of the pandemic was a Coronavirus escape from the Wuhan virology laboratory. In other words, an accident.

The news revealed in the evening by the Wall Street Journal about the existence of this report, which reveals in detail the number of sick researchers, the course of their infection and even their hospitalization, arrives on the eve of a meeting of the decision-making body of the WHO, which should discuss precisely the origins of Covid-19. Anonymous sources close to the dossier underline the validity of these indiscretions, as well as their accuracy: for this reason, in the information sheet it is written in black and white that sick virologists became infected with Covid-19, and even seriously to the point of ending up in hospital . November 2019 is also the approximate date identified by many epidemiologists and virologists on the beginning of the spread of the virus, in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.Beijing claims instead that the first confirmed case was a man who fell ill on December 8, 2019. No sharing of data, of laboratory records, by the Wuhan institute.

For its part, China has always denied that the virus escaped from one of its laboratories. On Sunday, the Chinese foreign ministry called into question the report of a team led by WHO, following a visit to the Wuhan Institute of Virology last February, according to which a leak of the virus from the laboratory is to be consider yourself extremely unlikely.
