Hot take: the COVID-19 lab leak hypothesis doesn't sound that crazy.
Not referring to the one about China though. I'm talking about the idea that it originated 30 minutes away from me at a military base called Fort Detrick in Maryland.
A thread 
The popular "Wuhan lab leak hypothesis" we hear in America is based off of the idea that the first case of COVID-19 was in November, 2019. But what if the first case was earlier? And in America? In July, 2019 an outbreak of a mysterious respiratory disease happened in Virginia.pic.twitter.com/J8ZaqVNnBH
These outbreaks happened just an hour away from Fort Detrick. Now let's get into the history of that base and the two main reasons why it's not far-fetched COVID-19 originated there: 1.) Bioweapons testing history at that military base. 2.) Safety violations around July, 2019.
This is where the timing gets wild. In July 2019, as a mysterious respiratory outbreak occured an hour away, an Army Laboratory THAT STUDIES DEADLY INFECTIOUS MATERIAL LIKE EBOLA was sent a cease-and-desist letter by the CDC. The rationale was secret for "national security."pic.twitter.com/PsRuxUYEkV
But wait, there's more.
Emails between the CDC and USAMRIID revealed "serious violations" at Fort Detrick in 2019.
One time an inspector "entered a room multiple times without the required respiratory protection" resulting in exposure to "select agent aerosols."

Fort Detrick is well-known, referred to as "the epicentre of the US Army's bioweapons research since the beginning of the Cold War." In 2019, soon after the mysterious nursing home outbreak, they were banned from researching deadly viruses over fears of a leak.pic.twitter.com/RSreofIyUh
How crazy is Fort Detrick's history? This is where the CIA's MK Ultra mind-control program took place. Poisons intended to assassinate foreign leaders originated here.pic.twitter.com/sW013KKfaa
As the World Health Organization and US call for investigations into Chinese labs in search of COVID-19's origin, the Chinese Government is responding by calling for Fort Detrick to be investigated. Can't blame them. That history + the suspicious events of July 2019 warrant it.pic.twitter.com/itUXHlFLvU
What do you think? Does this sound like a realistic theory? Feel free to add supporting details/refutations if you know any. My mind is blown. Been driving past this base my whole life and had no clue the dark depth of its past. This def sounds plausible + worth investigating.
Thank you for this. I was reading something about vape lung near Ft. Detrick right before the first outbreaks. I learned there was a bio weapons lab there. I was unaware of the safety breaches I'm 2019 though because I had not yet had a chance to research further.
