Ex-CIA Agent Speaks Out: JFK, 9-11, UAPs, MLK, MKUltra & Everything Trump Is Hiding
"I'm convinced that the intelligence community could have made a pretty sound assessment by mid-2020 that there was a significant chance that this was some variety of lab incident that occurred that caused this pandemic."
A recently retired CIA operations officer, identified only as Jim, tells Tucker Carlson he believes Covid-19 was a lab incident in Wuhan. He says the intelligence community could have made a “pretty sound assessment” by mid-2020 that there was a significant chance the pandemic was caused by some type of lab incident, and argues that a lab-incident origin would change how people view public health policy and vaccines.
