Is The Coronavirus A Bioweapon?
Epoch Times ^ | 7 Feb 2020 | Steven W. Mosher

Posted on 02/09/2020 10:41:46 PM PST by datura

It is no secret that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), despite being a signatory to the Biological Weapons Convention, regards the development of bioweapons as a key part of achieving military dominance. The vice-president of China’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences, He Fuchu, said in 2015 that biomaterials were the new “strategic commanding heights” of warfare. People’s Liberation Army (PLA) general Zhang Shibo went even further in his 2017 book, “War’s New High Land,” claiming that “modern biotechnology development is gradually showing strong signs characteristic of an offensive capability,” including the potential for “specific ethnic genetic attacks.”

To be perfectly clear, what General Zhang is talking about are bioweapons that kill other races, but for which people who look like him have a natural or acquired immunity. Those who might counter that one wild-eyed general, who does not necessarily speak for the communist leadership, should bear in mind that Zhang was a full member of the 18th Central Committee (2012–2017) and the former president of the National Defense University.

You make a valid point.

But I argue that just incapacitating some targets would not be very effective. It appears that many, if not most infected people do not suffer serious symptoms. A much more effective bioweapon would cause massive incapacitation and death. Not the case here so far.

And it would be extremely reckless for the bioengineers to create a weapon before creating a protection for their own population...

Me thinks the globalists see their utopian dream maybe coming to an end, time for a global crisis where they will be there to save us all

Agenda21 was supposed to be achieved in just over ten months from now.

If it’s a bio weapon then with a death rate of around 2% it’s not a very effective one.

Why would the Chinese create a weapon that only kills Chinese?

Is The Coronavirus A Bioweapon?

Does it bother anyone else that they're sending (possibly) infected folks to our military bases?

Perhaps you are thinking of "Sixth Column" - a 1941 novel by Robert Heinlein.

The concept of an ethnic-specific bioweapon have been around for a long time.

Why in the world would the Chinese design a virus to kill only Asians?

Perhaps because that is what they had for their experimental subjects.

More likely, this virus was a research experiment with some "minor modifications" to target specific lab animals as a proof-of-concept. I would believe it is unlikely to be a finished bioweapon.

And then there was an "oops" in the lab.

It seems to be mostly killing the elderly, sick and other immunocompromised people.

Draw a Venn diagram of productive people, burdensome people and victims of this Coronavirus. Which intersect?

We only know the victim’s demographics from what the chicoms tell us.

The doctor that died over there this week was 31yrs old. Healthy.

The 35yr old patient in Washington state would have been a victim already or still in ICU if he hadn’t gotten the experimental drug. He was also a healthy non smoker.

This bug causes a ‘cytokine storm’, like the Spanish Flu did. It will kill healthy young people as well. With a quickness.

I trust him to be straight with the American people if and when a determination is made.

Trump is honest. It's his trademark, which drives the LIBERALS crazy

My concern would be the honesty of the "investigation" and the facts presented to Trump.

There are still plenty of "deep-staters" at work in the Washington swamp.

The article is built on conjecture and supposition, not evidence. Notably, the outbreak began at a large and unsanitary food market in Wuhan, not among workers at the bioweapon lab implicated in the article. Supposedly, pangolins sold at the food market are suspected to have been the intermediate vector for the virus, with bats as its natural reservoir.

The kill rate is 17%.

Extremely easy to catch.

If 100 million got it here in the U. S., that’s 17 million dead.

Nothing to worry about ...

This virus has been genome sequenced & determined to NOT be synthetic or man made.
Could it have accidently escaped a lab - yes. Lab accidents happen more frequently than one might think.

Bioweapon?

I thought THAT from the start

I’m not a biological warfare specialist, but a couple of my friends are and they maintain that the coronavirus is behaving very much like a bio-engineered weapon.

I seriously doubt it. *If* so, it would be one of the least effective bioweapons ever developed.

I read (doesn't make it true) that the virus seems to affect Asian males more strongly than Asian females or those of other races, because of the relative distribution of a certain type of cell in the lung. If so, one could conceive of it as a differential vaccine gone bad, rather than an active attack weapon.

To me, that's still a second or third order conspiracy theory at present. I wonder if we'll ever get the whole story.

China does have a rather well known gender imbalance due to past one child policies and Chinese cultural preference for sons.
