THE US CAUSED THE COVID PANDEMIC, not China, the US government revealed today.

THE US CAUSED THE COVID PANDEMIC, not China, the US government revealed today. 美國造成了COVID疫情，而非中國——美國政府今日揭露此事。

「是時候讓美國人民知道真實故事了。」情報首長圖爾西·加巴德（Tulsi Gabbard）在X平台上發布的一則引發轟動的影片及網路聲明中如此表示。

而這故事，可真是非同小可。

真相終於大白
美國花費數百萬美元資助中國武漢的一間實驗室，進行致命病毒的實驗。

該研究涉及一種稱為「功能增益」（gain of function）的技術，部分人士認為這等同於將病毒武器化。

「該研究如今被廣泛視為引發疫情的非蓄意實驗室洩漏源頭。」國家情報總監加巴德表示。

「這項危險的研究造成了難以估量的傷害及無數生命的損失。」她補充道。

官方偏好敘事
疫情爆發後，華盛頓當局極力向世界宣稱，這不可能是實驗室洩漏。

當時流傳的主流說法是，病毒是由於中國當地的環境條件，經由動物傳播給人類而演變而成。

但美國情報首長表示，證據顯示的是另一個故事。她在今日——其任期最後一天——發布了一批新的機密文件。

120座生物實驗室
故事始於美國悄悄在超過30個國家設立了120座生物實驗室。她表示，其中部分實驗室涉及危險病原體的研究。

她指出，安東尼·佛奇（Dr. Anthony Fauci）博士在擔任國家過敏與傳染病研究所（National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases）所長期間，將數百萬美元的美國納稅人資金，用於武漢病毒研究所的蝙蝠冠狀病毒研究。

2019年，COVID-19病毒似乎在全球多處地點同時浮現——但首先被科學家正式檢測到的，是2019年底在中國武漢。

該病毒很快就在全球被發現。加巴德表示：「這場疫情為數百萬人帶來了巨大的苦難與痛苦。」

官方偏好敘事
對美國而言，官方偏好的說法是：這「不是」實驗室洩漏——因為世界會意識到，五角大廈正在資助全球各地及美國本土的生物實驗室。

那些對生物實驗室提出警示的人，被指控為「散布俄羅斯與中國的假訊息」。

當實驗室的存在已無法否認時，BBC及其他媒體報導稱，這些是「和平實驗室」，其資助完全基於正面理由——此說法讓密切關注五角大廈的人士難以接受。

隱瞞與情報機構的關聯
加巴德表示，佛奇在疫情初期與高級情報人員合作塑造敘事，卻對此謊稱不知情。

在2024年眾議院新冠病毒疫情特別小組委員會（House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic）的證詞中，他被在宣誓下詢問：在疫情之前、期間或之後，是否曾就病毒研究與情報機構進行溝通。

佛奇回答：「就我所知，沒有，關於COVID方面。」

2025年1月，許多人對前總統喬·拜登（Joe Biden）向佛奇發布「預防性赦免」感到困惑。赦免的定義是針對違法者——但當時此情況並未發生。

巨大的苦難
加巴德即將退休，以陪伴她罹患癌症的丈夫。

但她希望在隱退之前，將此議題的真相公諸於世。她表示，證據顯示美國資助的研究是問題的根源。

「COVID-19疫情為數百萬美國同胞及全球無數人民帶來了巨大的苦難與痛苦。」她說。

“It’s time the American people learn the real story,” spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a sensation-causing video released on X and a statement on the internet.

And what a story it is.

TRUTH AT LAST
The US spent millions to finance a lab in China’s Wuhan to experiment on killer viruses.

The research was on a technique called “gain of function” which some people see as weaponization of the viruses.

That research is “now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic,” said Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence.

“This dangerous research caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives,” she added.

PREFERRED NARRATIVE
After the pandemic broke out, Washington then worked to tell the world it could not have been a lab leak.

The preferred story circulating at the time was to say that animal-to-human transmission evolved in China due to the circumstances there.

But the evidence tells a different tale, the US spy chief said, releasing a new batch of top secret documents today, her last day in office.

120 BIOLABS

The story begins with the US quietly setting up 120 biological laboratories across more than 30 countries. Some of these laboratories were involved in research on hazardous pathogens, she said.

Dr Anthony Fauci, while serving as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, sent millions of dollars of US taxpayer cash to be spent on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, she said.

In 2019, the Covid-19 virus apparently emerged in several locations around the world—but was first formally detected by scientists in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019.

It was soon found all over the world. The “pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions,” Gabbard said.

PREFERRED NARRATIVE
For the US, the preferred story was that it was NOT a lab leak—because the world would realize that the Pentagon was financing biolabs around the world, and at home.

People raising the alarm about the biolabs were accused of “pushing Russian and Chinese disinformation”.

When the existence of the labs could not be denied, the BBC and other media reported that they were “peaceful labs” which were financed for entirely positive reasons—a line that Pentagon-watchers found hard to swallow.

LIED ABOUT INTELLIGENCE CONNECTION
Fauci worked with senior intelligence agents in the early days of the pandemic to shape the narrative but lied about it, Gabbard said.

In his testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2024, he was asked under oath whether he had communicated with intelligence agencies concerning viral research before, during or after the pandemic.

Fauci replied: “Not to my knowledge, about COVID.”

In January 2025, many people were puzzled when Former President Joe Biden issued “a pre-emptive pardon” to Fauci. Pardons, by definition, are given to people who have broken the law—but this had not happened at that time.

TREMENDOUS HARDSHIP
Gabbard is retiring to spend more time with her husband, who has cancer.

But she wanted to get the truth about this subject out there before she disappeared. She says the evidence indicates US-funded research was the root of the problem.

“The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions of our fellow Americans and for countless people around the world,” she said.
