Although already assumed by many Americans, a new report citing government sources revealed that three scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China were among the first people to have ever been infected by Covid-19.

According to co-authors Matt Taibbi, Michael Schellenberger and Alex Gutenag from The Substack, new evidence “strengthens the case that the SARS-CoV-2 virus accidentally escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” 

“According to multiple U.S. government officials interviewed as part of a lengthy investigation by Public and Racket, the first people infected by the virus — patients zero — included Ben Hu, a researcher who led the WIV’s ‘gain-of-function’ research on SARS-like coronaviruses, which increases the infectiousness of viruses,” the article reads.

“Sources within the U.S. government say that three of the earliest people to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 were Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. All were members of the Wuhan lab suspected to have leaked the pandemic virus,” it adds. 

The report continued, “As such, not only do we know there were WIV scientists who had developed COVID-19-like illnesses in November 2019, but also that they were working with the closest relatives of SARS-CoV-2, and inserting gain-of-function features unique to it.”

In February of this year, Director Christopher Wray of the FBI told a reporter that “the FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan.”
