Following discussions on the origins of Covid among the G7 leaders in Cornwall on Saturday, Dominic Raab has said that on the “balance of probabilities” the U.K. Government does not believe in the lab leak theory. It is “much more likely”, he added, that the virus “jumped” from animals to humans. The MailOnline has the story.
Asked if he had been involved in G7 discussions about the lab leak theory, [the Foreign Secretary] told Sky News: “I haven’t personally but of course it has created part of the backdrop and officials have been comparing notes on this.
“If you are asking me whether we think on the balance of probabilities, if you like, that it originated in a lab, our best information for now is that it didn’t.
“But we don’t have all of the answers, that is why internationally we wanted the review to be able to go into to get all of the answers, to have all the cooperation, so we have the full picture rather than these possible, potential, plausible options.
“But on balance we do not believe that it came from a laboratory. We think it is much more likely to have jumped if you like from animals to humans.”
A recent report by the Wall Street Journal, citing a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report, claimed three researchers from the Wuhan lab sought hospital care in November 2019.
The report, which provided fresh details on the number of researchers affected, the timing of their illnesses, and their hospital visits, sparked renewed calls for a probe into whether the virus came from a lab.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director General of the World Health Organisation, says that all hypotheses on the origins of Covid remain “open“.

But vaccination to achieve herd immunity and/or to eradicate a disease is futile when a pathogen is of zoonotic origin and spreading among animals too.
This is one of the 4 long established criteria for any successful vaccination candidate- see Prof. Cullen.
It’s either/or, make up your effing minds you m*rons.

My money is on the US deep state. Classic false flag.
I don’t think its an ‘either or’ question. Dr Fauci’s emails, recently made public and linked to on this website, show clear collaboration between him and other US deep state officials and the CCP in developing and covering up the origins of SARS-Cov-2
When is the alleged “case zero(es”) in Wuhan? If these are the first cases in Wuhan, how does one explain that more than a hundred Americans in five states almost certainly had this virus by November 2019? This statement is be based on traditional “positive” antibody tests (from a man in New Jersey and a man in Florida) and the findings of a study of archived Red Cross blood collected December 13-16, 2020 in the states of California, Washington and Oregon. Thirty-nine of these people showed signs of having had this virus by the time they donated this blood (again based on antibody tests). As it takes at least two weeks for antibodies to develop and be detected by a test, the assumption is that most if not all of these people had this virus by November 2019. All of this evidence has been published and is available. But for some reason, none of it matters at all in any effort to trace the origination and spread of this virus. Maybe it did originate in a lab in Wuhan. But if this is the case, this spread and escape HAD to have begun weeks before “November 2019” to have infected… Read more »
“Unexpected detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the prepandemic period in Italy”
Unexpected detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the prepandemic period in Italy – Giovanni Apolone, Emanuele Montomoli, Alessandro Manenti, Mattia Boeri, Federica Sabia, Inesa Hyseni, Livia Mazzini, Donata Martinuzzi, Laura Cantone, Gianluca Milanese, Stefano Sestini, Paola Suatoni, Alfonso Marchianò, Valentina Bollati, Gabriella Sozzi, Ugo Pastorino, 2020 (sagepub.com)
It would appear that the virus was spreading around the world during the summer of 2019.
This CDC (!) study shows 39 Americans in California, Oregon and Washington already had COVID antibodies when they donated blood Dec. 13-16, 2019. Now remember, it takes a while for antibodies to develop and be detected by a test. Takeaway: These Americans had already been exposed to the virus by November 2019. There is no doubt this virus was “spreading” in multiple countries by November 2019 if not earlier. Of course, all this evidence apparently doesn’t matter. Questions: Why only ONE CDC study of archived Red Cross blood? Why hasn’t this study gotten more attention?

Undoubtedly. Anecdotally we had it here in Suffolk. One family’s son returned from a skiing holiday in France with a “nasty cough” which everyone else in the family caught, though with widely varying degree of symptoms.
The kicker is that here and in parts of the west country and elsewhere this “early covid” was followed by low levels of “official covid” which suggests immunity. Maybe it was found in the USA and Europe and subsequently sent to the US-financed Wuhan lab from where it subsequently escaped. One thin’gs for sure, we will never know.
Dominic Raab, that well-known international expert on virology, immunology, biomedicine. As a law graduate, who then immediately joined the FCO in 2000 after he qualified as a solicitor, he has no expertise whatsoever in zoonotic transfers of viruses. What an arrogant and ignorant fool.
It is patently obvious that he’s been “got at”. Perhaps the CCP has threatened him with a visit from the Triads, or maybe an extended “fact-finding mission” to Xinjiang. On the other hand, being the Build Back Better New Green “Fill Your Pockets” Tory Party, money is somehow involved It would not surprise me if, for example, we had a “Grand Old Duke of York” moment with Huawei, inter alia.
Rather than flat out blaming the CCP, why not look at who else was funding the gain-of-function research and who has the most to lose if it’s found not to be totally down to the CCP.
Nation states don’t have to pay for crimes like people do.
At best one group of countries will use another countries’ crimes for political purposes.
In this case, the UK doesn’t want to annoy China. China will barely put up with generic human rights criticisms from other countries but won’t tolerate lab-leak nonsense, as Australia discovered last year.
Lawyers don’t recognise truth, it’s all about making a case believable.
Exactly so. And if you don’t believe it, sit in a courtroom for a few days as an observer.
It needs to be doxxed; every domicile known, every car reg #, all emails, media accounts , et al. Its spawn / family are also fair game.
This is war.
“It is “much more likely”, he added, that the virus “jumped” from animals to humans”
Yep, one of these
Humanized Mouse Models | genOway
Hahaha yeah exactly
Two mice in a bar. One says to the other, “Have you had the jab yet?”
“No” says the other mouse, “they haven’t finished testing it on humans.”
First thing Fauci did when the lab origin was was uncovered (evening Jan 31, Feb 1 2020) was that he emailed Patrick Vallance to arrange a web meeting – several other as well but Patrick Vallance was top of the list. Then the cover up began and the British government or its top adviser was closely in on it. Raab is not going to quickly depart from the official line set up at that point, but it is the smoking gun. Plainly we should be distancing ourselves from the Americans and Chinese, and sacking the the government’s Chief Scientist (which maybe rather a lot for a Foreign Secretary in a TV interview). Perhaps we should try and get some trade deals going with Antarctica.
Interesting that Downing Street is defending the BBQ at the G7 saying that it complied with all Covid restrictions, under 30 people who were tested daily etc. That may be so, but all of them came from countries not on the green list and none of them had to isolate in a hotel for ten days at their own expense or self isolate in any other way.
Ah, don’t forget, there are different rules for ‘government’ business- so says Raab.
The never ending gas-lighting never ceases to amaze me.
The Fauci emails suggest it it originated from a lab. They also suggest there was a huge cover-up involving some well known ‘names’
“the U.K. Government does not believe in the lab leak theory“
The noted genius and consultant on geography and export/import facilities (stand in for the camp manager in Hi-de-Hi) went on to say that it does, however, back the idea of fairies at the bottom of the garden.
Lol, well spotted! I just knew I’d seen him before…
…
It doesn’t matter where it came from, they still have control over the sheeple.
Good point!
His multiple use of the phrase “if you like” is a clear indication that he does not believe what he is telling you is the truth. But why would anyone be surprised by this, he is a senior member of the most mendacious government that this country has ever had the misfortune to witness.
”This video from Pfizer’s former Chief Scientist Mike Yeadon, has been banned by Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, and Twitter is currently hiding it behind a “misleading message” warning banner, SO YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW IT MUST BE OVER-THE-TARGET!”

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Footage proves bats were kept in Wuhan lab

Maybe they played cricket regularly
Dominic Raabstard said ” If you are asking me whether we think on the balance of probabilities, if you like, that it originated in a lab, our best information in January 2020 was that it did and of course we panicked and in the process killed tens of thousands of OAPs, trashed the economy and completely destroyed the country”

“Footage proves bats were kept in Wuhan lab”

surely the only logical conclusion is that the UK Govt has something to lose if the lab leak theory is true?
let that sink in…
or they ‘scientists’ advising the gov have something to lose, the gov are only listening to a narrow group of ‘scientists’
So hundreds of thousands of people have died around the world (according to governments) because of a virus. It is unclear whether the virus was released accidentally or otherwise from a lab or whether it was formed in nature.
When people die and the cause is not clear but there is reasonable suspicion that it may have involved other people, the police don’t just walk away saying “nah, we believe it was an accident”. There is an investigation to determine whether a crime has been committed.
If the virus leaked from a lab, accidentally or otherwise, a crime of epic proportions has been committed. It’s just not good enough for this imbecile Raab to say he doesn’t believe it came from a lab.
If I could kill people and not have any authorities investigate it, it wouldn’t take me long to draw up a hit list…
What a bell end
Your brevity with the English language is a credit to you.
I’m not criticising your English here Sophie, I genuinely want to know. When used in the context of acurately describing a person such as Dominic Raab, is it ‘bell end’, ‘bellend’ or ‘bell-end’?
All of the above
Fair point
If this virus escaped from a lab or not, what should be clear is that this virus WAS “spreading” in countries besides China at or before the same time those three lab workers in Wuhan became sick in November 2019 (per U.S. “Intelligence sources”). It takes no “intelligence sources” to know that at least 16 Americans were sick with all the COVID symptoms in November and December 2019. You could just read published articles in The Palm Beach Post, Fox News, The Seattle Times and other publications. All 16 of these Americans had their cases confirmed by positive antibody tests. Several of these people had multiple positive antibody tests. The big tell to me is that the CDC has not spoken to or investigated a single one of these very credible cases of early spread. And the CDC in a May 29, 2020 press conference said it had searched hard for indications of early spread in America (in November or December 2019) and could not find any such evidence. Well, all of these published reports came out weeks before that press conference. I don’t think they were searching that hard. It’s not the possible cases these officials DO investigate, it’s… Read more »
If the government believes that then they are an ass.
Perhaps Raab isn’t mentally capable of reading the academic article by the Norwegian and Scottish professors. Who have added an addendum as there is clear proof of bio-engineered mid-stages of the virus with a later date that are attempts to prove the zoonotic thesis.
What is Raab playing at? Wait till all adults are jabbed now? It’s a natural virus? Wonder his opinion on Ivermectin. Actually, I can guess.
They only have the opinions they are allowed to have by Vallance, Ferguson, etc.
When big oil causes a devastating spill, the world at least reacts a bit and the oil company faces some retribution.
When the pharma industry causes a “spill” however, the world’s politicians, scientists and media build a big shield around the perpetrators.
There is a group of people somewhere with a terrifying amount of power.
Raab is thick as fuck.
Just a four week delay until the next delay, according to the gibbering imbecile.
That’s being very rude about fuck
Who give a sheet what Raab or any of these crooks believe
In Wuhan, there is a laboratory where people are mucking about with coronaviruses. In the same city there is a market where they sell exotic meat. The SARS-CoV2 virus first appeared in Wuhan.
Following on from that, the nut jobs that govern us have concluded that the virus “jumped” from an animal to a human in the market (with no explanation of how this animal picked up the virus in the first place). The presence of the laboratory is an irrelevant coincidence.
I suppose it is no more stupid an idea than desperately hoping that making people wear cloths or plastic visors on the bus will stop the virus.
The whole scam seems to coincidentally feature incredibly large amount of coincidences.
But what about the confirmed cases in America also in November 2019? How are these explained?
You tell me.
He’s either lying or he’s stupid.
Or both
Well, at least we know now that Mr Raab is another puppet of the CCP. Not surprising that he rejected Parliament’s call to vote on whether to allow courts to impose restrictions on China and other countries found to be committing genocide a few months ago.
Blowed if I can find the link but the virus WAS engineered in a lab and a number of scientists have confirmed that the make-up of the virus is such that it cannot have occurred in nature. Certain elements are manufactured and could not occur naturally.
Personally, I never believed the bat theory, it was too convenient and the global response too uniform.
The name to look out for is Peter Danszack (?)
Raab of course wouldn’t have a clue and is simply repeating his lines.
