🔥🔥🔥Ted Cruz completely OBLITERATES Washington Post video suggesting coronavirus didn’t come from a lab, calls it “CCP propaganda”!

by The Right Scoop

The Washington Post has released a video claiming that it’s far more likely that the coronavirus came from nature than from a virology lab in Wuhan, China:

Ted Cruz watched the 10 minute video and lit into the Washington Post with a fiery response, saying they abandoned “all pretenses of journalism to produce CCP propaganda.”

Cruz then proceeded to obliterate their claim that the virus came from nature with a fact by fact analysis from their video. Instead of posting his tweets directly, I’m going to quote them in an easier-to-read fashion below.

FACT 1: WaPo admits two separate labs in Wuhan were studying coronaviruses derived from bats. One lab was just 300 yards from Wuhan wet market.

FACT 2: WaPo admits bats with similar coronaviruses “live in caves 1000 miles away.”

FACT 3: WaPo admits both labs had SERIOUS safety concerns, resulting in multiple US Dept wires—before this crisis—warning that shoddy safety protocols could lead to a global coronavirus pandemic.

FACT 4: WaPo admits China DESTROYED the lab samples after the pandemic started (raising the natural inference that they were afraid what the samples, if examined, would show.

ALL OF THESE FACTS strongly suggest the virus escaped from one of these CCP labs. At this point, the evidence is circumstantial (because the CCP is hiding/blocking any direct evidence).

BUT what is WaPo’s conclusion? “The balance of scientific evidence strongly suggest the conclusion that the new coronavirus emerged from nature, be it in the Wuhan market or somewhere else.” This is a non sequitur. None of the aforementioned evidence leads to that conclusion.

What’s WaPo’s basis?

WaPo COUNTER-FACT ONE: The CCP and the lab director (who initially wrote “could [the pandemic virus] have come from our lab?”) now deny it. “Shi, her team & the Chinese govt have adamantly denied that it could have come from this lab.” WaPa takes that denial as true.

WaPo COUNTER-FACT TWO: They quote Dr. Peter Daszak, the head of “EcoHealth Alliance” as saying “China’s been incredibly open. I believe it’s because it’s a scientific collaboration & in China they’re really proud of their science; they do good work, especially in virology.”

That’s it. Those two counter-facts form 100% of the basis for WaPo’s “fact check.” And #2, the claim that “China’s been incredibly open,” is laughably absurd. They DESTROYED THE LAB SAMPLES. They PUNISHED & SILENCED the pandemic whistleblowers.

And who is this objective source, Dr. Daszak? Well, his organization, “EcoHealth Alliance” was receiving (now cancelled) US taxpayer $$ to support bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology! Why does WaPo NOT disclose his enormous bias, litigation exposure & conflict of interest??

And is it relevant that WaPo is owned by Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, who stands to make billions in China if he pleases the communist overlords? Whatever WaPo is doing, this is NOT journalism. It is apologizing for the CCP, trying to cover up their culpability.

Cruz made clear at the end of his argument, in response to a question from someone on Twitter, that he has no reason to doubt the idea that the virus “wasn’t bio-engineered”. Rather, he notes, that “the circumstantial evidence suggests—which needs to be vigorously investigated—is that the labs were studying this (natural) virus & it accidentally escaped.”
