The Chinese government is spreading the idea that the coronavirus may have first leaked from a research facility in Fort Detrick, Md. Is there any possibility that this is true, or is it just a way for the Chinese to divert attention from this issue?
This idea did not come from the Chinese government. It was floating around well over a year ago throughout the world.

The issue is this: There is plenty of evidence to suggest that COVID-19 had been circulating in the United States early in 2019, long before the outbreak in Wuhan.

Among the long list of evidence are:

serologic testing of US blood donations
mysterious vaping illnesses
mysterious pneumonia cases in a Virginia retirement community close to Fort Detrick
a Belleville mayor who appears to have had Covid
With so much evidence pointing to a possible US origin, it is perfectly sensible to investigate Fort Detrick, as well as other parts of the United States. This is all that the Chinese government is saying, nothing more.

Not to mention the sudden appearance of vaping disease which was strangely transmissible. And the lung x-rays look exactly like Covid.

The US CDC was strangely insistent that it was vaping that was the cause. But why has no one else in the world and the US who vape got vaping disease? Also how can a disease caused by inhaling vaper be transmissible?

Then the US closed Ft. Detrick and then reopened it later. The vaping disease disappeared.

Also the Virginia Nursing Home respiratory outbreak & deaths. Those nursing homes were an hour’s drive from Ft Detrick

Throughout the western world the number of deaths from respiratory conditions was well above the historical average starting in mid 2019. These are called “excess deaths”. Because these were just “bad colds” or “viral pneumonia” nobody took samples for genetic testing to prove what the actual infective agent was until the Wuhan laboratory, which is the Chinese equivalent of the US Centres for Disease Control by the way and therefore the authority for reporting such an infection in China, demonstrated that it was a new coronavirus closely related to the SARS and MERS coronaviruses. Until the Wuhan lab published a partial genome of the new virus there was no way for anyone to test for the infection. Westerners make a point that the Wuhan lab is run by the Red Army, but that is just the way that the Chinese state is organized. Nobody blinks an eye that the agency of the US government that is responsible for approving major civil engineering projects in the US is a branch of the US Army. That is just how the US government is organized. Blaming the Wuhan lab for the infection would be as silly as blaming the CDC lab for being the first to report it in the US!
