U.S. Officials Reluctant to Criticize Wuhan Lab Research For Fear of Calling Out ‘Actions We Ourselves Are Doing,’ Email Reveals
U.S. intelligence and health officials voiced concerns that publicly questioning research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology “called out actions that we ourselves are doing” and “demanded access that we ourselves would never provide,” according to an email obtained by U.S. Right to Know.
The email may offer a window into one reason the origin of a pandemic that has killed more than one million Americans remains undetermined.
The new email also supports recent claims by former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and Deputy Director of National Intelligence Cliff Sims that attempts to declassify intelligence related to the Wuhan Institute of Virology were impeded from within the intelligence community.
