Kirstie Alley Blasts Media After Reports Reveal Wuhan Lab Researcher Had COVID Symptoms in 2019

By Movieguide® Staff

Actress Kirstie Alley mocked the U.S. government and mainstream media after reports revealed that several Wuhan lab researchers had the coronavirus symptoms in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Seriously??? ‘It might be possible that COVID began in the Wuhan lab?’. . . . all over the news NOW????!!!! What a clever government we have,” Alley said on Twitter about a reported lab leak.

A former State Department official, according to Fox News, confirmed that foreign contacts reported that employees of Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick in November 2019.

Alley’s tweet received several responses from those who agreed and disagreed that the lack of reporting on the Wuhan lab was a malicious act by the government or the media.

“The illness in the labs in Nov 2019 was reported on by other sites over a year ago, but called a conspiracy by msm [mainstream media], democrats. Puzzled as to why now? Why the green light for all these stories to be OK to print, suddenly,” one user responded.

Another added: “To acknowledge Covid began in lab would mean Covid was real. . . and masks and vaccines were valid.”

Another sided with Alley: “It’s all in the timing, Kirstie. Perhaps they’ve gotten enough mileage out of the pandemic by now.”

International scientists and agencies have rejected China’s claims that the virus originated elsewhere. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases director, said that it is unlikely the virus originated naturally.

“There’s a lot of cloudiness around the origins of COVID-19 still, so I wanted to ask, are you still confident that it developed naturally?” PolitiFact’s Katie Sanders questioned during the United Facts of America: A Festival of Fact-Checking event.

“No, actually,” Fauci said. “I am not convinced about that, I think we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we continue to find out to the best of our ability what happened.”

In the wake of Fauci’s sudden reversal, Facebook decided Wednesday (May 26, 2021) that “we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured from our apps.”

According to The Bongino Report, “The move represents an about-face for the social media giant, which announced in February that it would start removing posts that made such claims.”
