COVID 19 is the risk Fauci said was "worth taking"
Flopping Aces ^ | 02-07-21 | DrJohn

Posted on 02/08/2021 8:27:32 AM PST by Starman417

I've been sitting on this post for a long time. Anthony Fauci has some explaining to do. A lot.

People on the left tend to get bent when someone properly refers to COVID 19 as the "Wuhan" or "China" virus. The fact is, it is did originate in China. There's really no doubt that it originated in a lab. Dr. Anthony Fauci has said this virus might never disappear because it is so contagious

“I do not believe it would disappear because it is such a highly transmissible virus. It’s unlikely it is going to disappear."
How did it get that way?

COVID 19 is a Corona virus, related to the common cold and flu viruses. It is a relative of the SARS 2 virus from 2003. So why would this particular virus be more pathogenic and transmissible and possibly not disappear?

Because of something called "Gain of Function"

Gain of Function Research

Certain gain-of-function studies with the potential to enhance the pathogenicity or transmissibility of potential pandemic pathogens (PPPs) have raised biosafety and biosecurity concerns, including the potential dual use risks associated with the misuse of the information or products resulting from such research.

On October 16, 2014, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced the launch of the U.S. Government (USG) gain-of-function (GOF) deliberative process to re-evaluate the potential risks and benefits associated with certain GOF experiments.  During this process the USG paused the release of federal funding for GOF studies anticipated to enhance the pathogenicity or transmissibility among mammals by respiratory droplets of influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses.

Another explanation:
“Gain-of-function” is the euphemism for biological research aimed at increasing the virulence and lethality of pathogens and viruses. GoF research is government funded; its focus is on enhancing the pathogens’ ability to infect different species and to increase their deadly impact as airborne pathogens and viruses. Ostensibly, GoF research is conducted for biodefense purposes.  These experiments, however, are extremely dangerous. Those deadly science-enhanced pathogens can, and do escape into the community where they infect and kill people. What’s more, this line of research can be used for biological warfare.
Biological warfare. Hmmm.

This research is so dangerous that even Vox wanted it stopped.

GoF research was halted in 2014

Prompted by controversy over dangerous research and recent laboratory accidents, the White House announced Friday that it would temporarily halt all new funding for experiments that seek to study certain infectious agents by making them more dangerous.

It also encouraged scientists involved in such research on the influenza, SARS and MERS viruses to voluntarily pause their work while its risks were reassessed.

Opponents of this type of research, called gain of function — for example, attempts to create a more contagious version of the lethal H5N1 avian influenza to learn which mutations made it that way — were elated. “Brilliant!” said Peter Hale, the executive director of the Foundation for Vaccine Research, which opposes such experiments. “The government has finally seen the light. This is what we have all been waiting for and campaigning for. I shall sleep better tonight.”

Pay attention here
The moratorium is only on research on influenza virus and the coronaviruses that cause SARS and MERS. It made no mention of Ebola or any related filovirus. Ebola is already extremely lethal, but it is not easily transmissible.
And here

The debate over the wisdom of “gain of function” research erupted in 2011 when the labs of Ron Fouchier of Erasmus University in the Netherlands, and Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, separately announced that they had succeeded in making the lethal H5N1 avian flu easily transmissible between ferrets, which are a model for human susceptibility to flu.

The pause was lifted in 2017 by the NIH.
Today, the National Institutes of Health announced that it is lifting a funding pause dating back to October 2014 on gain-of-function (GOF) experiments involving influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses. GOF research is important in helping us identify, understand, and develop strategies and effective countermeasures against rapidly evolving pathogens that pose a threat to public health.
One does not develop counter measures by increasing transmissibility and pathogenicity.

Wuhan was not a suitable lab for handling these dangerous viruses and we were warned.

A lab that researches bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China had come under scrutiny by US officials two years before the current global outbreak, a report said Thursday.

Diplomats sent two “sensitive but unclassified” cables to Washington in 2018, sounding the alarm about the Wuhan Institute of Virology and asking for assistance to help the lab tighten its safety protocols, the Washington Post reported.

“The cable was a warning shot,” a US official told the paper. “They were begging people to pay attention to what was going on.”

One of the cables warned that the lab’s work on bat coronaviruses and their potential human transmission represented a risk of a new SARS-like pandemic.

The GoF work was funded in part by the NIAID- Fauci's organization.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoLw-Q8X174

Selected moments from the Event 201 pandemic tabletop exercise hosted by The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated the pandemic preparedness efforts needed to diminish the large-scale economic and societal consequences of a severe pandemic.

Drawing from actual events, Event 201 identifies important policy issues and preparedness challenges that could be solved with sufficient political will and attention. These issues were designed in a narrative to engage and educate the participants and the audience.

They are STILL active now working to “steer” US federal policy.

Allegedly COVID was not the reason for their pandemic wargame on how to shut down the global economy. Supposedly we would see something far worse. But here we are and they are implementing their wargame policies on the whole world with complicit cooperation from globalist industries.

A bioweapon with 99.8% survivability seems pretty lame to me. Unless the recipients totally panic and destroy their own economy, that is.

Saint Fauci has no explaining to do because he is never wrong. Saint Anthony Fauci of the Face Mask has saved more people than anyone else in human history.

You can only be saved by Saint Fauci and the Mask Mask!

Funny (NOT ‘ha-ha’):

Ever since I started research on this virus, all roads lead back to Fauci. Over & over. Ad nauseam.

But one thing is patently clear: It cannot be possible that he was operating independently.

I motion for Gitmo & waterboarding.

I was shocked to realize there is no sample of the CoVId-19 virus that EVER existed in our material world. It is all a computer fantasy.

So they made a vaccine against a phantasy. What could possibly go wrong?

This is a link to Devvy Kidd's post that gives one pause to ponder this significant fact.

“In a request for a study which shows complete isolation and purification of the particles claimed to be SARS-CoV-2, Michael Laue from one of the world’s most important representatives of the COVID-19 “panicdemic,” the German Robert Koch Institute (RKI), answered that[1]: “I am not aware of a paper which purified isolated SARS-CoV-2.”

“This is a more than remarkable statement, it is admitting a complete failure. This concession is in line with the statements we presented in our article “COVID-19 PCR Tests Are Scientifically Meaningless” which Off Guardian published on June 27th, 2020 — a piece that was the first one worldwide outlining in detail why SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests are worthless for the diagnosis of a viral infection.

“One of the crucial points in this analysis was that the studies contending to have shown that SARS-CoV-2 is a new and potentially deadly virus have no right to claim this, particularly because the studies claiming “isolation” of so-called SARS-CoV-2 in fact failed to isolate (purify) the particles said to be the new virus.

You don’t test gain-of-function on lethal viruses. You do the research on something milder, until you know it works. Then you build the deadly bio weapon. This virus got out before the testing was complete.

I never imagined being in support of anything Kennedy (although I DO appreciate the alarms he has been sounding over certain drugs/vaccines effecting our kids)....but, this is an interesting interview, by RFK, of Vandana Shiva, regarding the Bill Gates Empire ultimately controlling our food suppies....

RFK, Jr. Interviews Vandana Shiva: The Gates Empire ‘Will Own Everything’

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-interviews-vandana-shiva-gates-empire/

....The billionaires wanting to turn everything into their portfolio, and the ordinary people saying, “No, we want to protect our land.” Our farmers have been protesting now for six months for the land. That’s what they’re saying....

....But my involvement in agriculture begins with 1984, when there were similar protests against the green revolution. Now, the green revolution was first implemented on Punjab …

RFK, Jr.: That was a program by the Rockefellers, originally, Rockefellers, right?

Vandana Shiva: Exactly, and the World Bank. So the World Bank, the USAID [U.S. Agency for International Development], the Rockefellers. They had a package working for a while on how do you get to move these huge amounts of chemicals, the fertilizers, the pesticides after the wars. Those factories should have just shut down, and instead, the Rockefellers, who were very much involved in the IG Farben and Hitler experiments. I mean, there’s so much reports on that. The oil came from the Rockefellers.....

Much more, including a transcript of the interview, at above link.

And, a related article, by RFK...

Bill Gates and Neo-Feudalism: A Closer Look at Farmer Bill

(from the article) :
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-gates-neo-feudalism-farmer-bill/

" As with Gates’ African vaccine enterprise, there was neither internal evaluation nor public accountability.
The 2020 study “False Promises: The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA)” is the report card on the Gates’ cartel’s 14-year effort.
The investigation concludes that the number of Africans suffering extreme hunger has increased by 30 percent in the 18 countries that Gates targeted.
Rural poverty has metastasized dramatically,
and the number of hungry people in these nations has risen to 131 million."

"Under Gates’ plantation system, Africa’s rural populations have become slaves on their own land to a tyrannical serfdom of high-tech inputs,
mechanization, rigid schedules, burdensome conditionalities, credits and subsidies that are the defining features of Bill Gates’ “Green Revolution.” "

My Comment : This is reminiscent of the conditions which by which the English Feudal of land management and ownership system directed by the British,
gave rise to "An Gorta Mor" (Irish Potato Famine of the 1840's and 50's) where the Irish worked the Lord, for the sake of English gentlemen who controlled the crops.
We know how that worked out !
The Gates feudal system controls the land the people, and the food, as well as the fertilizer used to grow the crops.
It is literally "The Company Store", ..just on another continent.

Tolerance Sucks Rocks :" So is this one of these Amazon things, where computer algorithms work them to death? "

No, it's not like algorithms; it's more like the video game "Second Life" where the wealthy land owner combines with the "Company Store" from old mining towns.
Where unlimited money/ wealth provides unlimited power over the population, controls the land, controls the selection of crops grown, controls the fertilizer to grow those crops, controls the market where the crop is sold, controls the price paid to the farmer for his labor, etc., etc.
Notice the frequency of the word 'control'.
Sort of like in the videogame Second Life:
http://secondlife.fandom.com/wiki/Land_Baron

"In Second Life, the term " land baron" can have different meanings to different people.
The largest use of the term "land baron" could be summarized as a resident who buys land at a low price, alters that land in a somewhat unpleasant way,
and then sells the land for a much larger price with the goal to make a large profit."
