Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, a German spy agency knew COVID-19 came from Chinaas early as 2020. So why did they keep it a secret?

"Not just a secret: the government said the opposite," said Ezra Levant. "They knew the truth; they buried the truth; they said the lie; and we’re only finding out that they knew it was a lie, now."

According to various German media outlets, the German BND believes a lab accident led to the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence suggests negligence may have been to blame at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

"It’s not really news, in 2025five years after the crisis, to tell us this. It’s that the BND knew this five years ago, that’s the news part," said Ezra.

The material, some of which came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, located in the Chinese city where the pandemic is believed to have started, indicated that there had been some risky research methods used there, compounded by breaches of laboratory safety rules, the reports said.

According to The Bureau, safety lapses at WIV have only furthered scrutiny of the laboratory, noting experiments there took place under BSL-2 protocols, while similar studies in the U.S. used more rigorous BSL-3 standards.

And after years of critics dismissing the Wuhan lab-leak theory as a conspiracy, U.S. intelligence officials, politicians, and leading scientists also backed the claim.

The papers said there was evidence that Wuhan researchers carried out so-called gain-of-function experiments, in which viruses occurring in nature are manipulated. Such research can cause changes in the way a virus causes illness, its transmissibility and the types of hosts it can infect.

There were also indications that there had been numerous violations of safety regulations at the lab, according to the reports.

"Holy smokes. Gain of function — you know what that means, right? It’s when scientists try to weaponize viruses to make them worse, to make them into weapons," said Ezra. "For years, you were mocked for speaking the truth; but more than that, you were punished for saying the truth."

    Here’s a theory: Those Liberal “vote” numbers are completely fictitious, most likely generated from China, because in China, the govt habitually puts out obviously fake stats, but nobody dares question them. Maybe it didn’t occur to them that anyone would scrutinize their numbers and start asking questions.

    Ez – You’re thinking like a normal person, not a Liberal sociopath to understand the Liberals. You know it was rigged simply due to the numbers you talked about.
    You sound surprised Liberals put out all that data. Well of course they did. They’re so shallow and self-serving they don’t think it proves rigging, they think it proves everyone loves Carney, and jives with the (fake) polls we’re seeing. They’re not smart enough to make it “look natural”. This is consistent with the narcissistic ultra partisanship JT has shown consistently since first elected. Personally, I’ve seen enough. Don’t need to see anything more.

    As to the Chinese connection – Trudeau’s 1/2 brother Kempler recently heavily alluded that JT has been captured by the Chinese – remember?

    Australian journalist and broadcaster, Sharri Markson, wrote a brilliant book about the origin of Wuhan Flu, better than the one by Alina Chan and Matt Ridley, although that was also good. I think I know why Markson’s book gained little attention.

    The CCP are anti-Chinese. Mao destroyed the olds and brought in a miserable conformity system. Common decency died back in 1949. So it’s understandable that Chinese agents influence all non communist governments and businesses to do Beijing’s bidding.

    Interesting too about Trudeau meeting with the Chinese drug and prostitution ring member. Who knows what shady deals happened there.
