They aren’t going to stop stealing as long as we’re there. It should have terrified everyone when they threatened to wash us in an ocean of coronavirus because we get our medicine ingredients from them an they were threatening us that they would withhold them.l from us.
Seems like the generations before us were smart enough not to put all our manufacturing in the Soviet Union, but Communist China the greed outweighed the possible negatives which have been in full view for awhile now, as we have enriched a totalitarian government.
The Daily Telegraph in Australia recently published excerpts from a leaked intelligence study assembled by western governments about the origin of the virus and the early response in China:
. . .major themes include the “deadly denial of human-to-human transmission”, the silencing or “disappearing” of doctors and scientists who spoke out, the destruction of evidence of the virus from genomic studies laboratories, and “bleaching of wildlife market stalls”, along with the refusal to provide live virus samples to international scientists working on a vaccine. . . “the suppression and destruction of evidence” and points to “virus samples ordered destroyed at genomics labs, wildlife market stalls bleached, the genome sequence not shared publicly, the Shanghai lab closure for ‘rectification’, academic articles subjected to prior review by the Ministry of Science and Technology and data on asymptomatic ‘silent carriers’ kept secret”.
The article points reviews published papers that describe gain-of-function experiments associated with the Wuhan lab and risks associated with accidental release from a lab, but it plays down the likelihood that the current virus is a result of similar experiments.
My observation is that 96% of the virus genome is virtually identical to that of a natural virus studied at the lab and reported in published papers. The remaining 4% appears to be from another virus entirely, and that 4% is directly related to the ability of the virus to infect humans. My opinion is that the most likely origin is that scientists in the Wuhan lab were responsible for the insertion of the new genes into an existing bat coronavirus.
A senior Russian scientist agrees and speculates that the virus may have been developed as part of research not intended as a weapon. Other scientists have speculated that the virus may have been developed as part of research into possible HIV vaccines :
Democrats have been all along and keep trying to blame Trump.
Given what he knew and the timeline I can’t see it. I wanted earlier and more draconian actions all the way back in January but there just wasn’t enough justification nor the political will to support them at the time.
A blogger notes that a comparison between the COVID-19 virus and the alleged bat virus (RaTG13) is its closest relative shows unusual patterns that are in consistent with natural evolution. Interestingly, Dr. Zhengli Shi from the Wuhan Virology Lab reported the RaTG13 virus as being collected in 2013, but it was not described in published papers until 2020, after the COVID-19 virus epidemic. The blogger concludes this about the origin of the viruses:
A safe conclusion is that, between the Wuhan coronavirus and RaTG13, at least one is non-natural. If one is natural, then the other one must be not. Of course, the other possibility also exists – neither of them came from nature.
Here are figures from the link that shows the differences appear to be inconsistent with natural evolution:
Figure 3. Comparing the nucleotide sequences of different spike proteins on the synonymous mutations (green curve) and non-synonymous mutations (red curve) reveals evidence of human manipulation. A. comparison between two related bat coronaviruses ZC45 (MG772933) and ZXC21 (MG772934), which are nature-borne. B. comparison between the Wuhan coronavirus (NC_045512) and RaTG13 (MN996532) shows a pattern inconsistent with natural evolution.
The blogger raises an interesting point that should be easily verified by other researchers. If the alleged bat virus RaTG13 was really generated in a lab to match features of the COVID-19 virus, then it further supports the claim that the COVID-19 virus is also a product of a lab. This analysis could be a smoking gun showing the depth of deception that has gone on in China.
As the blogger points out, the genetic differences between the two viruses are not consistent with natural evolution. If RaTG13 virus really is a natural virus from a bat, then the COVID1-19 virus has to be man-made. On the other hand if RaTG13 is really man-made, then then a basic assumption of analysis in the Nature paper is false, and RaTG13 appears to be a sham to hide the true origin of COVID-19. Either way the blogger’s analysis shows that the COVID-19 virus almost certainly came from a lab and was most likely the result of genetic manipulation.
I suspect that the blogger’s analysis may be something that government researchers already knew in many parts of the world, but the work has been classified. Now researchers outside of government labs can easily confirm the analysis, which means that secrecy is no longer possible.
We may be approaching an “emperor-has-no-clothes” moment.
Recent research from biologists in the US and Canada shows that COVID-19 virus was already highly optimized for transmission in humans when the first samples came from the Wuhan wet market. Evolution of the virus has been remarkable slow since then, which is much different from the behavior of earlier human viruses with an natural origin from animals.
For example, the earlier SARS virus showed rapid evolution that slowed as it adapted to humans. The difference in evolution supports the idea that the COVID-19 originated as result of development in a lab, and it did not come from animals in a wet market.
Here an excerpt of news story about the recent work that includes a link to a preprint of the paper:
The new research is clear in its finding. ‘The publicly available genetic data does not point to cross-species transmission of the virus at the market,’ said Alina Chan, a molecular biologist, and Shing Zhan, an evolutionary biologist. . .They point to ‘multiple branches of evolution in both humans and animals in the 2002-04 epidemic’, adding: ‘In contrast, Sars-CoV-2 appeared without peer in late 2019, suggesting there was a single introduction of the human-adapted form of the virus into the human population.’
UPDATE: Chinese dissident virologist Dr. Li-Ming Yan and three other Chinese scientists have published a preprint of a paper that details the genetics and likely pathway for the laboratory production of the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. Dr. Li-Ming Yan posted the paper on a new Twitter account, and Twitter has move quickly to shutdown her account after less than two days.
According the “JC on a bike”, the second author, Dr. Shu Yang, is the author of the “Nerd Has Power” blog. A link to that blog appear in post 196 above.
Twitter has not provided any rational for the deletion of the account, but it is consistent with Twitter’s stated policy to suppress information that contradicts WHO and CCP orthodoxy about the coronavirus and its origin.
The proposed pathway for production of the virus involves combining genes from several viruses with an estimated development time of about six months. For the full text of the paper and a description of its brief history on Twitter see:
The study is the work of the Rule of Law Society and the Rule of Law Foundation, sister nonprofit organizations that Bannon was instrumental in creating.
In addition to their work on the Rule of Law nonprofits, Bannon and Guo have also collaborated on a news website, G News, that has published stories suggesting that the coronavirus was manufactured by the Chinese military.
I also know that they have over 1 million minorities locked in concentration camps which is not a Steve Bannon conspiracy so I wouldn’t 100% put anything past the CCP on what they are capable of.
Tucker Carlson interviewed the lead author yesterday. She doubled down on her allegations. She claims that the Chinese government not only created the virus through genetic manipulation, she has evidence that shows that they released it intentionally.
Facebook and Twitter have taken down the video based on “independent fact checkers”. As discussed in earlier posts, the “independent fact checkers” have conflicts of interests and some have even worked for the Wuhan Lab.
My opinion is that real science is based on analysis and debate about the data, not shutting down dissent from orthodoxy that has been established by dictators and committees.
The Chinese researchers are arguably risking their lives to publish information that violates the party line from Beijing. They deserve a fair hearing.
It came from a lab, and those denying it are the same ones who have invested their very lives into being told how to live, where to go, and how to dress. They also like being legally bound to buy government approved products.
If he said that he shouldn’t have, and still doesn’t take away that a million minorities are locked in concentration camps and we do business with them. I know you don’t agree with that Jezcoe regardless of ones disdain for the current president.
