COVID-19 -- Who benefits?
American Thinker ^ | 15 Oct, 2021 | Peter Kauffner

As it happens, there are a lot of suspects. The one thing that remains constant is the motive.

When a Roman magistrate investigated a crime, he asked cui bono, who benefits? It turns out that, when it comes to COVID-19, lots of people and institutions benefit.

Perhaps the most startling aspect of the COVID story is that the National Institute of Health, headed by Anthony Fauci, financed research to genetically engineer coronaviruses at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. The research was aimed at making the viruses more infectious in humans. The NIH used the Eco-Health Alliance, headed by Peter Daszak, as a cut-out to disguise its involvement.

If this research was legitimate, why wasn’t it done at a secure lab in the United States? This runaround has obvious potential for abuse. An unscrupulous researcher could invest in an appropriate vaccine maker, release the Franken-virus, and go home with a fantastic profit. We saw something like this type of motivation with the 2001 anthrax mailings, where the perpetrator seems to have been an anthrax researcher with patents and vested interests.

Vaccine-making is an astonishingly profitable field to be in these days. The COVID vaccines created nine new billionaires, including Moderna’s Stéphan Bancel, who is worth $4.3 billion. Even China got three COVID billionaires.

There was also money to be had in keeping China from being held responsible. The most extensively researched account of COVID’s origin is by Catherine Eban in Vanity Fair. Eban shows that, in the first instance, the lab leak theory wasn’t some “fringe” right theory, as Democrats alleged. It was, instead, the first thought of scientists with a variety of backgrounds when they heard that there was a coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, including Wuhan researcher and “bat lady” Shi Zhengli.

“The COVID vaccines created nine new billionaires”

I cannot help but wonder how many new millionaires and multi millionaires amongst the politicians and bureaucrats. Nationally and worldwide

At the beginning of 2020 nobody knew who Anthony Fauci was or cared. He was a lifelong bureaucrat who was presented with the opportunity that his ilk can only dream of. He used covid to become the most important and famous person on the planet. Even named sexiest man alive!!
All bureaucrats are tyrants-in-waiting. Very, very few ever take that leap. Fauci did. And he will not voluntarily go back into his hole.

True that !
Power corrupts (!),.. absolute power corrupts, absolutely
His actions affected a national response to a pandemic
Then, his actions affected a world-wide population.
His actions affected an the politics of an election
He owns viral patents that he researched while on the Federal payroll.
He funded and planned "gain of function" research which created the pandemic.
He has stated that he intends to live until he reaches 120 years of age; imagine that pension !
