From Bats to Bureaucrats: The Unraveling Truth Behind COVID’s Origins

This is not about politics, it is about finding out the truth. I am not promoting one opinion or another, just providing the information, you decide.

Once upon a not-so-distant time, if you so much as whispered that a virus might have strolled out of a lab instead of leaping off a bat, you’d get laughed outta the saloon of public opinion, tarred with the sticky brush of “misinformation,” and booted off every digital porch in town. I got a website de-platformed for just talking about it.

Some may ask why am I talking about this. This ain’t just a tale of test tubes and sneezes. It’s a story of arrogance wrapped in lab coats, or bureaucrats with more spin than a two-dollar carnival ride, and of taxpayers funding science fiction dressed up as public safety. It was part of our history, that may be we might get to the truth. Like JFK, MLK, UFOs, we are getting closer.

But here’s the real kicker: this wasn’t just about a virus—it was about control, ego, and the fine art of never saying’ “we were wrong.” If history teaches us anything, it’s that the truth has a funny way of surviving the silence. You can muzzle a man, but not a question. And now that questions are loud again, maybe—just maybe—the answers will follow.

So grab a chair, pour yourself a strong cup of suspicion, and let’s dig into how the “crazy” folks turned out to be just early. Just don’t hold your breath. Unless you’re near a lab.

Senate Sub-committee report of COVID-19

Here’s a summary and expanded breakdown of the key points revealed in the on the official White House site and U.S. House Select Subcommittee report on the origins of COVID-19:

🔍 Summary:

What was once considered “conspiracy theory” regarding COVID-19’s origins is now being revisited by official U.S. government channels. Evidence shared by the White House and House Oversight Committee suggests a significant shift in narrative—specifically leaning toward the lab-leak theory over natural origins. The revelations involve scientific misconduct, cover-ups, gain-of-function research, government mismanagement, and unprecedented political decisions, including a preemptive presidential pardon for Dr. Anthony Fauci.

📌 Key Revelations & Points of Expansion:

1. Initial Narrative Control

Papers like the “Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” (Nature Medicine, March 2020) and a Lancet statement (Feb 2020) were used to discredit lab-leak theories.
Dr. Fauci played a central role in promoting the idea that COVID-19 came from a natural zoonotic origin.
These early publications strongly condemned alternative viewpoints as “conspiracy theories,” despite limited data at the time.

2. Suppression of Alternative Theories

Social media platforms suppressed content suggesting lab-leak origins.
Posts and videos questioning the official narrative were removed or labeled as misinformation.

3. Evidence Supporting Lab Origin

Unique viral features (e.g. furin cleavage site) not seen in nature.
All early COVID cases seem to trace back to a single human introduction—unlike previous pandemics with multiple spillover events.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology, 7.5 miles from the supposed origin wet market, had a history of gain-of-function research and biosafety lapses.
WIV researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms months before the first official outbreak.

4. Lack of Natural Origin Evidence

After 5 years, no animal reservoir has been identified—a key step that was accomplished in earlier outbreaks like SARS and MERS.

5. Government Oversight Failures

The NIH’s funding and oversight processes were declared deficient and a threat to public health and national security.
NIH allegedly encouraged practices that evaded federal records laws.

6. Role of EcoHealth Alliance

Led by Dr. Peter Daszak, EcoHealth used U.S. taxpayer money to fund research in Wuhan.
The organization is under investigation by the Department of Justice.
Dr. Daszak is accused of withholding and altering documents, obstructing investigations, and making false statements to Congress.

7. Fauci & Preemptive Pardon

Dr. Fauci received a preemptive presidential pardon covering actions from 2014–2024 related to his federal service. This raises profound concerns about accountability and judicial recourse.
It’s reportedly the first time such a pardon has been issued preemptively, shielding a government official from potential legal consequences before any formal trial.

8. Obstruction by HHS

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reportedly delayed and obstructed congressional investigations.
It allegedly underfunded departments tasked with legislative oversight to hinder transparency.

💥 Implications:

The lab-leak theory now has institutional credibility, overturning years of media and government suppression.
The scientific establishment may have compromised its integrity under political and funding pressures.
Institutional trust—in media, science, and government—has eroded, and the fallout will likely reshape how future pandemics are managed.

🧭 Closing Thoughts:

We are witnessing the slow unraveling of one of the most tightly controlled narratives of the 21st century. With the release of these documents, what once labeled you as a conspiracy theorist may now mark you as simply early to the truth. But don’t expect the full story to come out cleanly—it never does. Power rarely hands over the truth without a struggle, and in the dance between science and politics, it seems the mask is finally slipping.

🏛️ Obama’s Involvement

Not discussed in this report was Barack Obama’s role in pausing gain-of-function research—especially research that could make viruses more transmissible or deadly—actually predates COVID-19, but it’s a key piece of the puzzle when discussing how the pandemic may have unfolded.

Here’s a breakdown:

🧪 What is Gain-of-Function (GOF) Research?

Gain-of-function research involves intentionally enhancing viruses in the lab to study their potential effects—like making a virus more transmissible or able to jump between species. The idea is to anticipate future pandemics by simulating what might happen before nature does it first.

1. 2014 Moratorium on Gain-of-Function

In October 2014, under the Obama administration, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) announced a pause on federally funded gain-of-function research involving:

Influenza
SARS
MERS

The decision was driven by growing biosecurity concerns, especially after several incidents of lab mishandling involving anthrax and smallpox in U.S. labs. The administration called for a risk-benefit analysis and stricter oversight before any further experiments could proceed.

“We are launching a deliberate process to assess the potential risks and benefits associated with gain-of-function research,” the announcement stated.

2. Temporary Ban, Not Permanent

This wasn’t a ban, but a pause—to allow time for public discussion and policy development.
Research already underway could continue with special review.
The pause was only on U.S. federal funding, not private or foreign research.

3. End of the Pause

In December 2017, under the Trump administration, the pause was lifted. The NIH announced new guidelines and resumed funding for gain-of-function research under the new P3CO framework (Potential Pandemic Pathogen Care and Oversight).
This opened the door again for high-risk research—with conditions.

🔄 Where COVID-19 Comes In:

The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), where some believe COVID-19 may have originated, was conducting research that many experts categorize as gain-of-function, possibly using U.S. funding via the EcoHealth Alliance (a U.S.-based nonprofit).
Some of that funding came from NIH grants, despite the 2014 pause—because it either didn’t fall under the restricted viruses at the time or was not fully enforced.
Critics argue that this research continued during and after the pause, perhaps under weak oversight or by using indirect channels.

🤔 So What Was Obama’s Role?

Proactive Caution: The Obama administration recognized the danger of GOF research and took steps to pause it while more rules were created.
Not Directly Involved in COVID-19 Research: Obama did not fund or restart gain-of-function work related to COVID-19.
Didn’t Close International Loopholes: However, the pause did not account for U.S. funds being sent to foreign labs (like WIV) via intermediaries—something critics say was a missed opportunity.

🗓️ Timeline: Gain-of-Function Research & U.S. Government Oversight

🔬 Pre-2014 – GOF Research Expands

U.S. and global labs, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), conduct gain-of-function research on viruses like SARS and MERS.
The intent is to better understand viral evolution and anticipate pandemics.
Concerns rise among scientists over biosafety risks.

🏛️ October 2014 – Obama Administration Pauses GOF Funding

After lab safety lapses in the U.S., the Obama White House orders a moratorium on federal funding for GOF research involving:
- Influenza
- SARS
- MERS
The pause applies only to U.S.-funded domestic research.
Goal: Conduct risk-benefit analysis and develop stricter oversight.

🔄 2015–2016 – Loopholes & Exceptions

Some projects continue under “exception” clauses (if deemed critical).
EcoHealth Alliance, led by Dr. Peter Daszak, continues to receive NIH grants.
EcoHealth partners with WIV, sending U.S. taxpayer funds to support coronavirus research in Wuhan, including studies categorized by some experts as GOF.

🧪 2017 – Moratorium Lifted Under Trump Administration

December 2017: NIH resumes funding for GOF research under the new P3CO Framework (Potential Pandemic Pathogen Care and Oversight).
P3CO intended to provide more structured review—but critics argue it lacked proper enforcement and transparency.

🦠 2019 – COVID-19 Emerges in Wuhan

Fall 2019: WIV researchers reportedly show COVID-like symptoms before the virus is officially reported.
December 2019: Outbreak of mysterious pneumonia cases in Wuhan.
Virus officially linked to Huanan Seafood Market, just 7.5 miles from WIV.

🧻 Early 2020 – Origins Debated, Lab-Leak Dismissed

The Proximal Origin paper (Nature Medicine, March 2020) and a Lancet letter (Feb 2020) label lab-leak theories as “conspiracy theories.”
Dr. Fauci and others promote natural origin as the dominant narrative.
Social media platforms suppress dissenting views as misinformation.

🔍 2021–2023 – Evidence & Investigations Mount

Independent journalists and scientists question origins.
U.S. intelligence begins investigating the lab-leak possibility.
Some U.S. agencies quietly conclude lab-leak is “plausible.”

🏛️ 2024 – White House & Oversight Committee Releases

The U.S. House Select Subcommittee releases detailed findings pointing to:
- Lab-leak as most likely origin.
- NIH and HHS oversight failures.
- EcoHealth’s role and document tampering.
- Dr. Fauci’s involvement in narrative suppression.

🧾 2024–2025 – Presidential Pardon Issued

President Biden issues a preemptive pardon to Dr. Anthony Fauci for any offenses committed from 2014 to present.
The move raises controversy and concern about lack of accountability.

🧭 Final Thought:

Obama tried to put the brakes on risky research that could cause a pandemic. But the loopholes, lack of international enforcement, and eventual lifting of the pause allowed gain-of-function work to continue—potentially playing a role in the outbreak of COVID-19. His actions were early and cautious—but not far-reaching enough to prevent what came next.
