I think it’s worth offering some historical context for our yearlong medical nightmare. We need to hear from the people who for years have contended that certain types of virus experimentation might lead to a disastrous pandemic like this one. And we need to stop hunting for new exotic diseases in the wild, shipping them back to laboratories, and hot-wiring their genomes to prove how dangerous to human life they might become.

Over the past few decades, scientists have developed ingenious methods of evolutionary acceleration and recombination, and they’ve learned how to trick viruses, coronaviruses in particular, those spiky hairballs of protein we now know so well, into moving quickly from one species of animal to another or from one type of cell culture to another. They’ve made machines that mix and mingle the viral code for bat diseases with the code for human diseases — diseases like SARS, severe acute respiratory syndrome, for example, which arose in China in 2003, and MERS, Middle East respiratory syndrome, which broke out a decade later and has to do with bats and camels

You ought to take up fiction writing, you appear to have a knack for it.

Mother Abigail would comment on threads that reported disease outbreaks. Some of us figured out that she knew a lot more about disease than the average yokel and we started picking her brain about the plagues that she had worked on. Like ebola. She told us details months ahead of it hitting the news. If anybody was doing any nudging it was the rest of us nudging her to get her to tell us stuff.

isn’t that the truth...
I don’t know if it’s getting more common here now or I just notice it more. My guess is that it’s growing.

Just way too perfect for a way too prepared globalist/pharma/CCP takeover for any such “accident”.
