      New Spike Lee documentary about the pandemic opens with Ian Lipkin—Columbia virologist—saying he first heard about the outbreak on *December 15th*. Watched it three times to make sure I heard it right. Lee asks and Lipkin repeats the date. This is a big deal, no? December 15???pic.twitter.com/nE355EALac

      There were American doctors visiting the Wuhan hospital, by chance, in mid-December, and they were aware of an outbreak of uncharacterized pneumonia at the time. This is known in certain communities.

          Why isn’t it reported on? This completely contradicts every timeline we’re told. These “certain communities” should please please speak up, no? December 15 as known date for an uncharacterized pneumonia *outbreak* is a huge deal.

          Not seen this before. It fits with what David Asher has disclosed about the Intel from "a connected foreign government" (Taiwan?) on WIV researchers getting sick (2nd week of Nov). Seems it was provided to US *at the time*. I had assumed it was only revealed with later analysis.pic.twitter.com/qQAInsibZl

          it was a coincidence with an unknown pneumonia of plague origin in China, the news was fairly spread back then. I'll get you the link
