A declassified US State Department intelligence report released in January 15, 2021, stated there was reason to believe that several workers at Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) displayed symptoms consistent with COVID-19 in “autumn 2019” (Sept-Nov 2019) before the first official “identified” case of the outbreak.

“This raises questions about the credibility of WIV senior researcher Shi Zhengli’s public claim that there was “zero infection” among the WIV’s staff and students of SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-related viruses.”

Questioning  whether the virus “escaped” from WIV?
