The former head of the UK's foreign intelligence agency, MI6, told Boris Johnson in early 2020 that the Covid virus escaped from the Wuhan lab. That means that the US, UK, Chinese, & German governments all knew the truth, covered it up, and spread disinformation. Case closed.

After years of official claims to the contrary, strong new evidence suggests the virus known as SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a Chinese lab. According to multiple sources, the researchers who led gain-of-function research, which increases infectiousness, were the first to be infected.

The statement engages in public discourse by addressing the origins of COVID-19 and the alleged cover-up by various governments. It presents a strong claim that the virus was engineered and leaked from a lab, implicating multiple countries in a disinformation campaign.
