House cmte learns a Chinese researcher gave NIH the gene sequence to covid early, but agency DELETED it!

The article below is from USA Today.  It's a masterpiece of cover-your-ass propaganda from the biden regime, designed to make you ignore new information showing that the regime knew *from the beginning* that the the virus had been modified from being harmless to humans, to being about as deadly as the flu.

Now, why would the biden regime want you to ignore new information that clearly shows they were lying to ya when the shill Fauci bleated that it was "absurd" to suggest that the Chinese had modified the virus at the Wuhan Institute of Technology, eh?

It's because biden has been on the bribe payroll of the Chinese communist party for years.  You'll find out eventually, when it no longer matters.

Two weeks before a researcher made the genetic sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus available to the world, another Chinese scientist [had] quietly posted it to a U.S. government website.

The earlier posting doesn't change the virus' origin story ‒ whether it was sparked by a live animal market or leaked from a scientific laboratory.

"Doesn't change a thing," eh?  Wait...what hasn't changed?  The story doesn't say, but cunningly buries the lede: it could have been "sparked by a live-animal market," which was what Fauci insisted, eh?

And if it turns out that the gene sequence of the virus shows it could not possibly have evolved naturally, think the regime or the Media will tell ya?  But don't worry, Fauci et al have absolutely assured Americans that the virus evolved its lethality totally naturally, without any human intervention.

That Narrative is utter horseshit, but since you're not familiar with genetics--and of course the regime know that--you don't have a prayer of realizing the official Narrative is brazen horseshit.

The odds of all four modifications in the genetic code of covid-19 compared to the closest known "natural" bat virus happening by chance are hundreds of billions to one.  As one wag put it, the odds are the same as a tornado going thru a junkyard and assembling a Boeing 747.

But it does renew questions about how much China knew about the virus and when. It suggests that vaccine development could have started sooner. And it raises new questions about how much the U.S. government knew or should have known about the virus in those early days.

That's a deliberate effort to trivialize the issue.  The question is NOT at all "how much China knew and when," but whether the CCP ordered its agents to modify a harmless bat virus to make it kill people.  Which is exactly what they did, so it's understandable that they don't want to admit it.

Republican congressmembers have been demanding documents showing when the National Institutes of Health first knew about the virus that causes COVID-19.

Fauci's agency is one of the five major divisions of the NIH.

Official timeline

Chinese officials claim they first identified a new kind of pneumonia in late December 2019, and flagged it as being caused by a novel coronavirus on January 7, 2020.  The Chinese government has repeatedly said it has been open and transparent about the virus, revealing what it knew as soon as its information was relevant and confirmed.

But the fact that the genetic sequence of the virus was posted to a U.S. website on Dec. 28 contradicts this official timeline.

Not one reader in 10,000 has made it this deep into the article, cuz it's dry as dirt.

According to the records of GenBank, a genetic sequence database operated by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the new virus's genetic sequence was submitted by Dr. Lili Ren, a virologist at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing.

USA Today says "the National Center for Biotechnology Information" runs GenBank.  What they fail to tell you is that the Center is under the NIH--the outfit that Fauci effectively ran.  (Yeah, he only headed the NIAID, but his seniority, and the fact that his wife was the director of ethics, gave him outsize influence.) 

Ren's submission was apparently missing some technical, non-scientific information that GenBank requires.  Submissions to GenBank "are subject to automated and manual processing to ensure integrity and quality and are then made available to the public."

On Dec 31 of 2019 GenBank notified Ren that her submission would be deleted within a few weeks without the additional information, but it appears she never responded.

According to biden's Department of Health and Human Services, “The submission in question was unable to be verified, despite follow-ups by NIH to the Chinese scientist for more information."

Go back three 'grafs:  The article says Ren's gene sequence was apparently missing some "non-technical info," y'say?  Why "apparently"?  It should be easy to say definitively one way or the other, eh?  Oh wait...that's no longer possible, because...wait for it...GenBank deleted the only known gene sequence for the new virus which had already killed 40,000 residents of Wuhan, China.
   Now what honest person would delete the first and only known gene sequence of the new virus that had reportedly killed thousands of Chinese EVEN IF THE SEQUENCE WAS ALLEGEDLY MISSING SOME "TECHNICAL, NON-SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION"?
    That's clearly beyond stupid: You preserve  that first sequence forever.  If you don't think it's accurate, don't publish it--but at that point no one knew if it was accurate, eh?
    Understand this clearly: NO HONEST PERSON would delete such a possibly invaluable piece of forensic evidence, for any reason.
    No honest person.  Now remind me again, who had total authority over GenBank?  Tony Fauci.  Sure, not technically, but when the head of one of NIH's five sub-agencies (Fauci) calls the director of GenBank and says "delete that" what do you think happens, eh?
    Fauci knew--instantly, from looking at Ren's sequence--that it had been modified, by the insertion of four genes (ironically found in the HIV virus) to make it lethal to humans.  He knew this couldn't have happened naturally.
    Finally, he knew to a certainty that in 2015 the chief researcher at the Wuhan Institute--who's been called "bat lady"--had published a paper reporting her institute's success in splicing a single (harmless) gene into a bat coronavirus.
   She presented that paper at an international conference.  And the last page thanked the U.S. NIH for funding the research.  It even reported the 15-digit grant number, which is still in U.S. records.
   I've read the paper.  Because it was published over four years before covid emerged, no one thought to cover it up back then, and now it exists in too many places to make all the copies vanish.

Then on Jan 12 another Chinese group submitted a nearly identical sequence with verifiable details, which "was used by NIH scientists and others in their work to understand the origins of COVID-19."

The HHS spokesperson, who declined to be identified...

Now why would the HHS dweeb decline to be identified, eh?  The info isn't classified, yet the spokesdweeb doesn't wanna be identified.  When you figure that one out you'll be closer to knowing the truth.

“HHS has consistently and voluntarily provided Congress with thousands of pages of documents, as well as the expertise of officials, as part of its effort to promote transparency and understanding on the origins of COVID-19,” the [carefully unidentified] spokesperson said.

Read the above 'graf again.  It's clearly a cover-your-ass statement.  Lots of scientists in the regime know what happened, and they're laying the groundwork for the "We dindoo nuffin' wrong" Narrative.  That is, the big lie.

Now let me tell you what almost certainly happened: The Chinese researcher, Lili Ren, who posted the first gene sequence to a U.S. government website, was honest.  She's vanished and is either dead or in a Chinese prison.  The sequence she posted--which revealed the fact that Covid had clearly, obviously been modified by inserting four critical genes to make it lethal to humans--was deleted, with no backups retained, almost certainly at the behest of Fauci, who knew exactly what it meant.

On Jan 31 of 2020 I read a paper by a dozen Indian scientists showing the gene sequence of the virus--and vastly more valuable, comparing it to the closest "natural" bat virus.  This allows you anyone to instantly see the four inserted genes.  In the sequence below, the first line of every bar is Covid-19, while the second line in each bar is the closest known bat coronavirus.  You can easily see the four inserted genes.  "Natural mutation" would change one "base pair" at a time, but here contiguous groups of up to eight "codons" are all new--inserted.

  
   The above paper was only available in pre-print, and was quietly withdrawn from consideration for publication, with no explanation given.
   Many papers are withdrawn if the authors or reviewers find significant errors, but there's almost always a reason given.  Here there wasn't.
   For young Americans, China and India share a long border.  It wouldn't be unusual for the Chinese government to order one of its agents in India to have the paper withdrawn.

In summary, USA Today buries the lede, which is that the first known gene sequence of the new, deadly virus, submitted to a U.S. government website run by the NIH, was outrageously deleted--something totally insane.    The article totally ignores the signficance of "apparently missing" that implicitly confirms that someone in the NIH deleted the original gene sequence.
   The Chinese scientist who submitted that sequence is missing. Finally, the article contains several clear ass-covering statements.

  Now I'm trying to find the "replacement" gene sequence submitted to the U.S. by the Chinese communist party in Jan of 2020 to see if that matches the sequence submitted by the Indian researchers.

Don't worry, citizen:  Dis all probably "fake newz."  Every American who lost beloved parents or a spouse or significant other to the China virus has probably moved on.  The lockdowns that allowed many states to go to all-mail voting probably didn't influence the 2020 election much.  The economy has almost recovered from the lockdowns, so as Hilliary famously uttered, "At this point what difference could it possibly make" whether the virus was modified in a Chinese military lab and Fauci ordered the only known gene sequence deleted, eh?

You bet.  All that matters is to protect the biden crime family and keep Donald Trump from winning in November, right?
