It was a lab-leak.
It was an accident.
Nobody wanted to inform Xi because they didn't want to present him with bad-news.
Xi was finally told.
Amateur Hour commences.
If the lab leak was an accident, this makes No. 7 leaks out of that same collection of labs. From what I gather, the Wuhan Institute of Virology is a collection of labs, most of which are NOT Bio-Level 4 (or whatever the correct term is), for the highest level of protection for lab workers and, presumably, security.
So if they're handling change of function testing in a Bio-Level 3 or lower, and if security is especially lax, it's conceivable that the leak was an accident.
What is unforgiveable, however, is the fact that is is No. 7. Further unforgiveable is Fauci authorizing payments to this lab through a proxy. And finally, the really shitty thing is Xi denying everything.
