The Wuhan Outbreak (It's Not Where You Think)

Wuhan Investigation, Part 4; Plus Comment From Richard Ebright

The WHO have recently announced they are giving up the second part of their investigations into the origins of SARS-CoV-2. The Daily Beagle won’t!

Previously in the Wuhan Outbreak Investigative Series, we found:

• That no-one knew the specific definition of gain-of-function.

  • Including Anthony Fauci, NIH, Congressional Reports, Peter Daszak, and even Rand Paul.

• The NIH have no privacy guards in their FOIA responses and contain hundreds of email addresses, including three for Anthony Fauci (you can find the extracted emails here).

  • Fauci’s father was as a pharmacist, so Fauci had early ties to industry

  • Fauci was under undue influence from interests like ‘Rockefeller Foundation’ who were calling him directly.

  • Fauci’s background education was a Jesuit.

• The vaccine manufacturers have caused numerous prior outbreaks.

  • Foot and Mouth, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, and SARS-CoV-2, among others

  • Sold solutions to the problems they are causing (dubbed a ‘Bastiat Crime’)

  • Sold dud products, such as the defective DtP shot scandal in China.

  • Critics of gain-of-function restrictions, worked in vaccine research (Ralph Baric, Peter Hotez, Peter Daszak, Peter Hale etc).

  • Critics of lab leak theory had ties to vaccine research (Ralph Baric, Peter Hotez, Peter Daszak, Anthony Fauci etc).

  • Critics of lab leak theory had ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (Ralph Baric, Peter Daszak, James DeLuc, etc).

Part 4 is the most eye-opening, as we received comment from Richard Ebright himself!

So What Does Richard Ebright Think?

Dr Richard Ebright is a molecular biologist, who is on the Board of Governors, as Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University, and also Laboratory Director at the Waksman Institute of Microbiology, so we can be assured the comments he makes are qualified.

The Daily Beagle reached out to several individuals as part of the Wuhan Outbreak Investigation for comment — including Rand Paul, Ralph Baric, and Richard Ebright — however only Richard Ebright was polite enough to reply, and the responses were pleasantly timely as well.

We asked Richard back in October 2022, however investigation takes time. We received permission to publish his comments, and we do so for accuracy.

Ebright Narrows To Three Possible Culprits

We asked Richard to examine our timeline of events at Wuhan and offer any clarifying remarks he might have (here’s an updated version of the timeline), detailing what we had found so far.

Richard narrowed down which labs engaged in coronavirus research involving gain of function at the time:

Excerpt from Dr Richard Ebright’s email

The three culprits are:

• Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), under Zhengli-Li Shi.

• Chapel Hill, North Carolina, University of North Carolina (UNC), under Ralph Baric

• Galveston Texas, University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), under James DeLuc, with work by Vineet Menachery

What The Daily Beagle found reinforced this. Chapel Hill in North Carolina was host to Ralph Baric’s coronavirus gain-of-function research, which partnered with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and had ties to EcoHealth alliance.

Galveston National Laboratory (GNL) had agreed to cooperate with the Chinese. They worked with Ralph Baric, and even invited Zhengli-Li Shi herself, head of Wuhan Institute of Virology. Shi in turn invited Ralph Baric to China to attend a symposium on viruses.

GNL also worked with Peter Hotez in developing a commercial SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Hotez went on a rant calling anyone who dares question vaccines — which he financially benefits from — as “anti-science aggression”.

Supposedly anyone who contradicts a financial conflict-of-interest is an aggressive “major killing force”.

Where Is The Original Outbreak Site?

It is difficult to pin down exactly, but The Daily Beagle can answer the question with reasonable accuracy. However, in the words of Futurama:

“That just raises further questions”

Firstly, we have to define what ‘outbreak’ means. People might mean the exact, original point someone infected leaves a lab, but this by itself may not lead to a wider outbreak per se.

They could go home and nothing happens. Does it constitute an outbreak? You might argue no, or you could argue yes. It was a breach of security, but not necessarily an outbreak.

So, to avoid confusion The Daily Beagle defines two types of outbreak:

• The origin point outbreak (or ‘breach’): the very first person to get infected

• The cross-over outbreak: where that first infected person or chain of persons meets a large group of people and you have ‘spillover’

In this case, we’ll be discussing the cross-over outbreak. The point where the disease spread went international and the cat was let out of the bag.

We already know Wuhan Institute of Virology was the origin point — as established by Richard Ebright narrowing the field — but the spillover outbreak was not at the hospital nor was it near the seafood market. It was at the Wuhan World Military Games.

It Is All Fun And Games Until An Outbreak Occurs

The World Military Games — an international Olympics-style event — is run by CISM (French: Conseil International du Sport Militaire. Literal: Council International of Sport Military), better known as the International Military Sports Council.

It paints itself as one of those cliche ‘we’re for peace’ military initiatives, and literally has the slogan “friendship through sport”. Yeah, not sure how well that’s working out given present circumstances.

On 18th October, 2019, the Chinese government hosted the seventh ‘World Military Games’, where various militaries of the world measured their strength compared to each other. It lasted until the 27th October 2019.

How Do We Know It Is The World Military Games?

There’s reports — buried, and hardly mentioned — of athletes declaring they became ill with SARS-CoV-2, before the reported cases at the hospital in Wuhan.

For example, the French athletes Elodie Clouvel, Valentin Belaud, the Italian athlete Matteo Tagliariol, and the Swedish athelete Raphael Stacchiotti publicly reported falling ill, with Elodie claiming a military doctor told her she may have had coronavirus.

The Spanish athletes also reported falling ill, however they were not housed anywhere near the French (above).

A Luxembourg athlete reported the most unusual circumstance of all: upon arrival, Wuhan was like a ghost town, inhabitants told not to go out and his temperature was taken. A Canadian athlete reported the same thing. Eerily reminiscent of recent Wuhan lockdowns.

It has been recently admitted Wuhan Institute of Virology took down their virus database back in 12th September 2019, which lends credence to the Luxembourg athlete’s observations. It is likely by the 12th the Chinese already knew the virus had escaped the lab and were working to cover it up, trying to implement control measures.

Perfect Opportunity And Motive… But A Malicious Accident

Directly infecting hostile countries’ militaries with a virus via the World Military Games is a perfect opportunity and sound motive, but they would not be turning Wuhan into a ghost town and doing temperature checks if it was intentional.

We can infer origin point outbreak was likely unintentional. If it was intentional, they likely wouldn’t have released the virus before people arrived, but infected them in the last few days of the games before they left.

It became malicious when China failed to disclose publicly that a virus had escaped, and more malicious when they failed to cancel the World Military Games to prevent an international outbreak. It seems like China wanted the world to suffer along — for their mistake.

They would go on to lie about human-to-human transmission even into early 2020, with the WHO parroting and various mainstream outlets. This complicit deception makes them culpable.

Peer-Reviewed Papers Reinforce

A peer-reviewed paper found a correlation between the numbers of athletes infected by the World Military games in Wuhan, and the viral spread back home in their own countries.

Of course, correlation is not causation, but another peer-reviewed paper did a Phylogenetic estimate on SARS-CoV-2 (which is a bit like a genetic timeline), and estimated the cross-over outbreak must have occurred some time between October 6 to December 11 2019.

This was before the first reported hospital case in December 30th, and is within the timeframe for the Wuhan World Military Games, between October 18th to 27th.

Where Specifically?

The 2019 World Military Games was hosted at the ‘Wuhan Sports Center’, also known as the ‘Zhuankou Stadium’, which as you guessed it, is based in Wuhan (translated source).

From an auto-translated Chinese page

However, it wasn’t the only venue used. Depending on which specific sport was played, it was hosted at different avenues in different parts of Wuhan. There are far too many to list here.

We can narrow down the list of possible venues by looking at the types of athletes that reported getting ill and identifying their type of sport, then narrowing to the buildings that hosted that sport. For convenience we will repeat-cite sources for the claims made.

• Elodie Clouvel — French — Women’s Modern Pentathlete

• Velentin Belaud — French - Men’s Modern Pentathlete

• Melina Westerberg — Sweden — Pentathlete

• Matteo Tagliariol — Italy — Fencing

• Raphael Stacchiotti — Sweden — Swimmer

• Jacqueline Bock — Germany — Volleyball

As their specific sports category isn’t specified, we have to be a bit broader in coverage. These events would correlate with the following possible buildings:

• Modern Pentathlon (due to mixed nature, involves a variety of buildings)

  • Wuhan Business University (Natatorium)

  • Wuhan Business University (Gymnasium)

  • Wuhan Business University (Equestrian Venue)

• Swimming

  • Mulan Lake Campus of PLA Naval University of Engineering

  • Air Force Early Warning Academy Venues

  • Wuhan Sports Center (Natatorium)

  • Wuhan Business University (Natatorium)

  • Ordnance NCO Academy, Army Engineering University of PLA Venues

  • East Lake Sailing and Open Water Swimming Venues

• Fencing

  • Air Force Early Warning Academy Venues

  • Wuhan Business University (Gymnasium)

  • Wuhan City Polytechnic (Gymnasium)

• Volleyball

  • Women’s Volleyball

    • Wuhan Sports Center (Gymnasium)

  • Women’s Beach Volleyball

    • Hanyang District Beach Volleyball Center

If the spillover outbreak occurred here, then we can infer a PLA member got infected with the virus at some point whilst visiting the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and competed, most likely, in a close contact sport of some kind. WIV do collaborate with the PLA.

How Did It Unfold?

Our untestable suspicion due to insufficient of data, is spillover started at Mulan Lake Campus of PLA Naval University of Engineering, just 8 minutes away from Wuhan Institute of Virology:

Likely swimmers interacted with PLA members at this event, got infected, became chain carriers, who then passed it on the pentathletes at the Wuhan Business University.

Pentathletes, involving diverse sports, became cross-over, passing it to other athletes at many differing venues, including at close contact and high exertion (read: heavy breathing) sports like fencing. Once at this point, there was no turning back.

Food vendors selling food at the games would have interacted too. Reportedly fish — a type of seafood — was served, as athletes prefer a lean protein diet. Interacting with food vendors would have propagated the disease back to the seafood market.

Conclusion: Military Were An Overlooked Spread Vector

By the end, members would have returned back to their respective countries, likely by military transport, bypassing usual border controls and checks. They’d have also initially avoided interacting with civilians en-route.

A faulty and erroneous assumption is that the infection vector was via civilians using commercial transport. Instead, it was likely via military members travelling to international bases bypassing usual checks and controls at the border.

Explaining why the disease spread rapidly worldwide (simultaneous departure from the Wuhan Military Games) and seemed to ignore border controls (military aren’t subject to civilian quarantine procedures). Military personnel would have civilian family members presenting a back-vector for disease spread back at home.

When countries deployed militaries in response to the crisis, it is likely made spread worse, as infected military members would have interacted with the public they were assisting. Not forgetting military personnel attending ‘joint exercises’ with foreign countries.

Explains why the virus popped up seemingly in locations not related to civilian airports or seaports. Military bases and airports are often overlooked as possible spread vectors.

---

In closing, The Daily Beagle concludes the virus escaped the Wuhan Institute of Virology some time before September 12th, via an infected member of the PLA, who in turn attended the Wuhan World Military Games, spreading it during the Mulan Lake PLA swimming event.

This infected the military international community attending, who spread it amongst themselves and civilians unawares, before finally returning back to native countries, only to spread it internationally via military transport chains bypassing all controls, leading to the outbreak seen today.

Hopefully this answers some questions on the outbreak.

We hope you enjoyed this deep dive into the Wuhan Outbreak.
