The construction of the Wuhan BSL4 lab proceeded despite French intelligence warnings that the facility would be used for military bioweapon production. Weichert notes the lab suffered from poor security protocols known to USintelligence and Xi Jinping prior to the pandemic, links Chinese researchers in Canada to Major General Chen Wei — the "Goddess of War" who oversaw the Wuhan lab's COVID-19 response — and describes how the EcoHealth Alliance facilitated gain-of-function research in Wuhan while political polarization suppressed early discourse on the lab leak theory.
