Scientist says early coronavirus samples were deleted from NIH database

Scientists investigating the origins of the coronavirus pandemic might be working with the wrong samples, because some early samples of the virus submitted by a Chinese researcher were deleted from a shared database, an expert in the evolution of viruses says.

Jesse Bloom, a researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, said he found genetic sequences taken from early coronavirus cases in China that were deleted from a US National Institutes of Health database. Examination shows some of the early cases in the Chinese city of Wuhan are different, genetically, from the variants that eventually spread to cause the pandemic. The sequences themselves do not shed any more light on the renewed debate about whether the virus spread naturally from animals to humans, or was the result of a laboratory leak, Bloom told CNN.

But he said his analysis shows the samples being used to investigate the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic may not be complete.

The NIH confirmed the sequences had been removed in June 2020 at the request of the investigator who originally submitted them in March 2020, and said it was standard practice to allow this.

This is important for forensics.

As far as developing drugs and vaccines, it’s the circulating virus we want. And it is readily available in any country of the world.

This missing link. It’s impossible to understand the ontology of the virus without it. I wonder who would want it missing? /s

I think the initial release was something that scared the Chinese bad. They released another strain that was faster, less deadly but provided immunity.

That would be very hard to explain to the average world idiot. About 5% would understand that killing millions was better than 500M to 1B. That’s why all governments aren’t pushing the WIV bio weapon accident/ international release. It’s also why they flew the virus everywhere and delayed acting by 5 months starting from September 2019. If you can’t beat it then out breed it. Decisions had to be made. Let the bad in but ensure the nasty get overtaken.

That’s my tinfoil thoughts. 99% unlikely but has been a thought in the back of my mind. WIV + NIH + CDC in on it from the start. I do think the first 4-6 month reports from China could have been right. People dieting in the street.

Doesn’t explain the vaccine and idiotic behavior of the vaccines. Simplest answer is usually correct and this isn’t a simple answer.

Just a thought that’s been in my mind. A true tinfoil mind. Not denying it.

of course they were deleted ...

to protect the CDC and FauXi’s patents on the
murderous virus and killing “vaccines” as PLANNED.

“...early coronavirus samples ...”

They were stolen and stashed with all the Trump ballots!
