Ya think? It's interesting that Jonathan Turley managed to get this published by The Hill.
Biden’s administration may have suppressed COVID evidence contradicting Chinese claims
Bear in mind, this isn't definitive proof. It just adds credibility. I've long leaned toward the 'lab leak' rather than the more dubious 'natural theory.' I think it's a far more credible theory. But, again, bear in mind the caveats such as those in the linked military report in the above quote...
As I've posted, I'll stick with the October/November 2019 dating and leave open the possibility/probability that it was here earlier and unrecognized. In other words, we know, definitively, that the virus was in the U.S. before the first case was officially identified on 20 January 2020. How much earlier can be logically ascertained as being October/November 2019, which coincides with China's first, recognized case. Anything prior to that is simply speculation without much, if any, actual evidence; i.e., if we're going to castigate the media and the Government for conflating 'common symptoms' among numerous viruses, we need to be careful not to do the same.
What is becoming increasingly clear is what we've suspected all along. The Government, particularly the Biden Administration, withheld evidence which supported theories running contrary to the narrative they were pushing. That's not 'muddling the message.' That's overtly withholding relevant evidence.
Biden’s administration may have suppressed COVID evidence contradicting Chinese claims
...The Chinese first reported the outbreak in December 2019 and insisted that it came from a wet market in Wuhan — a natural or “zoonotic” transfer from bats sold at the market. Others were skeptical and pointed to the nearby Wuhan government virus lab, known to have conducted coronavirus studies with bats. This lab had a history of safety and contamination concerns.
The “lab-leak theory,” which was always the most obvious explanation, was further reinforced by scientists who saw evidence of possible manipulation of the virus’s genetic code, particularly the “spike protein” that enables the virus to enter the human body in a “gain of function” operation.
There was (and still is) a serious controversy over the origins of the virus, but any debate was quickly scuttled in favor of the natural theory...
Now, a long-withheld military report has finally been released by the Trump administration. It appears to confirm what was once denied by the Biden administration: U.S. military service members contracted COVID-19-like symptoms after participating in the World Military Games in October 2019 in Wuhan.
That contradicts China’s timeline. It suggests a longer cover-up in that country, which allowed the virus to spread not only to the U.S. but to countries around the world. Other nations also reported that their military personnel had fallen ill after attending the same games, suggesting that the virus was not only spreading but already raging in the area at that time.
The most disturbing aspect of this report is not the alleged conduct of the Chinese government, but that of our own...
Last December, the Wall Street Journal released an alarming report on how these scientists supported the lab theory on the origin of the COVID-19 virus. Not only were the FBI and its top experts excluded from a critical briefing of Biden, but government scientists were reportedly warned that they were “off the reservation” in supporting the lab theory.
As scientists were being attacked publicly and blacklisted for supporting the lab theory, experts at both the FBI and the Energy Department found the lab theory credible. Although no theory could be proven conclusively, it was deemed a more likely scenario than the natural-origin theory. The CIA also found the lab theory credible.
What the public was hearing was entirely different. They were hearing the same narrative laid out by the Chinese government in December 2019...
It now appears that the COVID outbreak may have occurred months before the alleged wet market release — months that could have been used to contain the virus. Instead, China is accused of suppressing the news and allowing the virus to spread worldwide. Our military personnel alone went home from the Wuhan games to 25 states, potentially carrying it with them.
When information on these infections connected to the games was reported around the world, China even suggested that the U.S. used the games to release the weaponized virus...
Congress and the Trump administration are now working to reconstruct this record. There is much that we still do not know. However, the public has already paid dearly for the answers. We have more than a million questions, and not one of them is a statistic to those who loved them.

...Seven Service members who attended the games exhibited COVID-19-like signs and/or symptoms during the timeframe of October 18, 2019 through January 21, 2020. All 7 Service members' symptoms resolved within 6 days. Service members were not tested for COVID-19 or antibodies given that testing was not available during this early stage of the pandemic. Data surveillance reports from military treatment facilities indicate no statistically significant difference in COVID-19-like symptoms cases at installations with participating athletes when compared to installations without them. In addition, no significant increase in COVID-19-like signs and/or symptoms was documented for the dates of October 2019 through March 2020.

The Government, particularly the Biden Administration, withheld evidence which supported theories running contrary to the narrative they were pushing. That's not 'muddling the message.'
