Boris Johnson, one of the worst, if not the worst, prime ministers in British history, is now trying to capitalise on his scathing memoir Unleashed, but the latest published extracts contain the Conservatives’ disingenuous claim that Johnson is convinced he’s out of this already. Covid-19 actually started in a Chinese laboratory…
The disgraced former prime minister, Boris Johnson, has said he now believes the Covid-19 global pandemic was actually caused by a leak in a Chinese laboratory.
The disgraced former Conservative leader is now trying to capitalise on his memoir, but in his new book he reveals that he is no longer convinced by the prevailing theory about the origins of the pandemic – that the disease started in a wild meat market. Animals in Wuhan were then transmitted to humans.
The series of headline-grabbing allegations come as Johnson, expelled from his party after a series of scandals, failures and lies, seeks to fill his coffers with the publication of his memoirs, Unleashed, serialized in the Daily Mail.
And the latest revelations show a contradiction to claims he made as prime minister that the virus which has killed more than seven million people worldwide was “transspecies”.
The comments from this buffoonish failed prime minister are unlikely to put any more pressure on the secretive Chinese government to speak out about the origins of the virus than they have already.
Johnson writes: It is now believed that the mutation is very likely the result of a botched experiment in a Chinese laboratory.
“Some scientists apparently combined parts of the virus like the witches in Macbeth – the eyes of a bat with the toes of a frog. And hey, this jolly little creature popped out of the test tube and started multiplying all over the world.”
Johnson, a fool and a liar, naturally, along with his equally foolish and dishonest leader Donald Trump, denies the idea that the coronavirus was transmitted by “zoonosis” from infected animals, and supports the laboratory theory, which has sometimes been dismissed as a conspiracy theory. But it enjoys a certain credibility among rational thinkers.
In earlier comments, the then prime minister had said the COVID-19 outbreak was linked to what he called a “crazy” belief, widespread in parts of Asia, that “crushing the scales makes you stronger.” pangolin.
He now claims scepticism has grown since information emerged about experiments carried out by scientists in the Chinese city of Wuhan who claimed the virus was man-made or artificially created.
Moreover, Johnson brazenly rolled back a self-imposed lockdown on the British public, then famously broke his own laws by partying in Downing Street (partly due to the “Partygate” scandal that ended Johnson’s political career).
The lockdowns imposed by Johnson are credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives in Britain, but criticised for severely damaging the economy, and now Johnson has described them as “medieval in their cruelty and consequences”.
He writes that Britain has fought the virus “with increasingly far-reaching restrictions that are literally medieval in their cruelty and consequences”. He adds: “By changing the lockdown of society, we have proved it”. It was an eerie foreshadowing that we have progressed so little since early modern England, when Shakespeare and company were legally forced to close the Globe Theatre on multiple occasions, and rules on human contact (no more than six people at funerals, for example) existed.
On September 19, the UAE Breaking reported that a major international study claimed that the coronavirus ended up in a “wet market” where infected animals were stocked, which scientists denied. The populist theory that the new coronavirus came from a laboratory.
Genetic samples from animals sold at market stalls in 2019 found traces of the new coronavirus in some species. Study author Christian Andersen of Scripps Research said in a document: “This adds a new layer of evidence to the accumulating body of evidence, all of which points to the same scenario: that infected animals were put into the market in mid-to-late November 2019.” Which
At the time, ministers were investigating information about an accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and it was reported that some people were suspected of releasing the virus.
Scientists are said to have carried out potentially dangerous experiments to manipulate the infectivity of coronaviruses taken from bats in caves.
But despite media reports, the official line remained that the new coronavirus originated in an animal market in Wuhan and China was never officially held responsible for the outbreak.
He said: “The FBI has for some time believed the origin of the pandemic was most likely an incident at the Wuhan laboratory. Here you’re talking about a possible leak from a Chinese government-controlled laboratory.
But the White House has announced that there is no consensus in the U.S. about the likely source of the virus.
