We Now Know the First Three People to Get COVID Worked in the Wuhan Lab: WILL THE US GOVERNMENT ACT?; Report Finds COVID-19’s ‘Patients Zero’ May Have Been Wuhan Lab Scientists, and other C-Virus related stories
We now know the first three people to get COVID worked in the Wuhan lab: Will the US government act?
It is no longer a question that the COVID-19 virus leaked from China’s notorious Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratory.
What’s more, this week my colleagues Matt Taibbi, Alex Gutentag, and I broke the explosive story that the first three people sickened by the virus were the scientists experimenting with SARS-like coronaviruses.
Sources within the US government say that three of the earliest people to become infected were Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. All were members of the Wuhan lab.
When a source was asked how certain they were that these were the identities of the three scientists who developed symptoms consistent with COVID-19 in the fall of 2019, before the virus spread around the world, we were told, “100%.”
Now, it’s up to Congress to demand answers from the intelligence community and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci.

COVID-19’s ‘Patients Zero’ May Have Been Wuhan Lab Scientists, Report Finds
The first three people to contract COVID-19 were scientists working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), claims a new report—a finding that could confirm the lab leak theory of COVID-19’s origins, if verified.
The report—authored by independent journalists Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, and Alex Gutentag, and published on Substack—names Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu as “three of the earliest people to become infected with SARS-CoV-2” in fall 2019. Not only did these three scientists work at the WIV, but they worked specifically on gain-of-function research; Hu in particular was considered a “star pupil” of Shi Zhengli, dubbed the “bat woman” for her work studying coronaviruses in bats.
“Ben Hu is essentially the next Shi Zhengli,” molecular biologist Alina Chan told the Substack authors. “He had been making chimeric SARS-like viruses and testing these in humanized mice. If I had to guess who would be doing this risky virus research and most at risk of getting accidentally infected, it would be him.”
The report’s authors spoke with multiple sources inside the U.S. government who provided the information. These sources, whose names were withheld to protect their anonymity, said there is little doubt that the laboratory is where the pandemic started.
The findings have not yet been confirmed by other journalists, though several government agencies—including the FBI and the Energy Department—have stated that the lab leak is the most likely theory of COVID-19’s origins. In February, FBI Director Christopher Wray told Fox News that COVID-19 most likely resulted from “a potential lab incident in Wuhan, China.” —>READ MORE HERE
