USAID Sent 1000s of Viruses to Wuhan Lab Over Decade | KUGN 590 | KUGN-AM A comment from Jeff Childers: "I’m sure you remember the dearly departed USAID. The plucky “independent” agency that became the first to fall under Trump’s withering glare and deep-state pruning shears after he took office. The charitable “soft power” outreach arm of the State Department, which Democrats wailed had only existed to protect third-world children from brutal imminent starvation and horrible death from river blindness. But thanks to a recent FOIA lawsuit, we have now discovered that USAID shipped thousands of “leftover” virus samples to the same Wuhan, China lab that ‘accidentally’ launched the coronavirus pandemic. Wait, it gets better. “The virus samples,” KUGN reported, “were derived from humans, bats, and rodents and were collected over the course of a 10-year period.” If I am not mistaken, and I do not think that I am, it seems like they claimed for ages that the covid virus came from bats. Oh well. Probably just a coincidence. Probably, people swap bat viruses all the time. Like trading cards. Or monkeypox. Over the last decade or so, USAID sloshed $250 million in taxpayer grant money to the University of California-Davis under an operation, sorry, I mean a ‘program,’ called PREDICT, which completely failed to predict any pandemics including covid. Thanks for all the dough, though. But I digress. PREDICT’s job was to collect a treasure trove of pandemic-potential viruses. Then it ended. So what was USAID supposed to do? It sent all the collected samples —for “safe storage”— to, where else, Wuhan, China. When “humanitarianism” is your mission, you can dabble in just about anything you want, including bioweapons development, apparently. Last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the official closure of USAID, saying that years of various factions manipulating its “charity-based” model had created a “globe-spanning NGO industrial complex at taxpayer expense.” That’s putting it nicely."
