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.

I have seen no evidence that the Wuhan coronavirus was bioengineered to target a specific race or ethnic group.

Nor have I. It is speculation at this point.

My own assessment is that 2019-nCoV originated from a research sample that was subjected to experimental modifications for some other purpose. The result turned out to be more contagious and more lethal than expected. And it got loose.

What is no longer speculation is that the virus has some core sequences which "are not the result of natural recombination" according to several researchers in the field. And of course, there are other experts disputing those claims.

You put down your money and place your bets on what you think you know.

In late January I was suspecting this may very well be a means of internal population control/reduction. This has been an agenda item for CCP for generations.

However, having read The Stand cover to cover three times in my teen years, I’m always a little paranoid about these outbreaks.

I feel like I am watching a disaster movie from the mid 1970’s...only the concession stand is closed and you can’t get up from your chair.

Option 4 is the choice of a vaccine gone wrong. There is a paper trail of Chinese research having gone down this path. There are documented failures of vaccines which did produce antibodies, then at a later time greatly enhanced sensitivity to a second exposure. A high fatality rate occurred with the test subjects.

As I understand, the person who made that claim posted it to a site to review articles for plagiarism. It was criticized because the person writing it was not a virologist or doctor in the field.

From what I understand, the author said he did not think it was likely to be natural, and did not say for certain it was man made. Also, I'm not sure if the author had the experience to make such a determination.

My own assessment based on factual evidence to date is that 2019-nCoV is a natural relative of the known SARS coronavirus.


“ … What is no longer speculation is that the virus has some core sequences which “are not the result of natural recombination” according to several researchers in the field… “

I have seen no such thing, please post link(s) that support this “non-speculation” speculation.

Incubation period up to 24 days.

https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3874223

This looks to be a Spanish flu level kill event.

CDC numbers are based on what? What Chi-Coms are telling them? Chinese have been downplaying this and lying consistently.

27 foreigners in China got the virus and 2 have died so far.

Hazmat suits. Quarantine of 50 million people. Do you really think this is a head cold? Or even the flu?

It’s a bioweapon designed to kill and destroy a nation’s infastructure. Doctors and nurses get sick. Hospitals overrun. Economic collapse. It got out and hit them isntead of us.

Let’s review in 60 days

Again, it’s flippin hype like SARS and Bird Flu

There was no pandemic and the world did not get lined up to take shots and prevent the dreaded killers from wiping out humanity

Another person has just posted a link to this information. See # 83 for the details.

As with any controversial research finding, there are supporters and opponents. But these are competent scientists with expertise in their fields of virus research. Their views are far more credible than the opinions of laymen on the internet (such as myself).

I will place my bets on the opinions of the folks at IFAK and CHROME.

I listened to a group of virologists over the weekend who said it was NOT man made.
It has been identified through genome sequencing by several labs outside China, using their own patients to collect samples.

The Pasteur Institute - Paris was the 1st

I see what the CDC is saying BASED ON CHINESE LIES.

Professor Says Coronavirus is Infecting 50,000 a Day, and He May be Right

https://www.ccn.com/professor-says-coronavirus-infecting-50000-day-he-may-be-right/

If this seems crazy, watch this doc on the Spanish flu. We’re looking at something similar here in terms of kill potential:

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/influenza/

There’s a sulpher cloud over Wuhan due to the bodies being burned there.

Cloud of sulphur dioxide hints at scale of China’s coronavirus cremations

https://metro.co.uk/2020/02/10/cloud-sulphur-dioxide-hints-scale-chinas-coronavirus-cremations-12215712/

What’s the political fallout? CLOSE THE BORDERS. Globalists don’t want that.

China’s medical infrastructure will be crippled first. Their economy. A Black Swan Event.

Then it’s a global crisis if we don’t keep it from our shores.

24 day incubation period makes that difficult.

It is suggested that the Chinese and WHO are using different definitions of an infected person. If a person tests positive but shows no symptoms, they are not tallied as infected. This goes against the WHO guidelines.

It’s obviously not their job to report the facts.

Obviously.

Not for a long, long time.

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

From what I understand, the Spanish Flu (and by extension the new A-H1N1 variant) kills by provoking an immune system hyper-response, sometimes called the “Cytokine Storm” which severely damages the lungs and causes Acute Respiratory Distress (ARD) resulting in oxygen deprivation to the internal organs.

Here is an over the counter (OTC) formula that inhibits some of the major inflammatory mediators, and is now being suggested as a way to stave off ARD. All four factors must be included.

1a) A prescription ACE-2 inhibitor anti-hypertension drug. (Note: Healthy folks w/normal BP would experience a crash in BP, fainting, et al. Those already on other types of BP lowering meds would experience the same.)
-or-
1b) If unavailable, 15,000 IU of Vitamin D (Note: 15,000 IU is a huge dose of Vitamin D, a fat soluble vitamin. This means excess Vitamin D is stored in the liver, rather being excreted. The half life of Vitamin D is roughly three weeks, and Vitamin D toxicity can cause serious problems)

2) Histamine-1 blocker. Benedryl or the equivalent.

3) Histamine-2 blocker. Tagamet or the equivalent (normally used to block acid reflux.)

4) Ibuprofen. Advil or the equivalent, a prostaglandin blocker.

In addition, it is also recommended to maintain just the MDAR of Vitamin A. Being short of Vitamin A is associated with having an excess of a very powerful inflammatory mediator called TNF-1. But it is easy to take too much Vitamin A, which is toxic. High doses of the provitamin Beta-carotene, which the body converts to Vitamin A, might work as well as straight Vitamin A, and are much less toxic.

Care should be taken to avoid “health foods” that can artificially enhance the immune system, something to be avoided when there is the prospect of ARD.

This was extracted from an earlier thread I've lost track of, with some comments on Vitamin D from NautiNurse, and on ACE-2 inhibitors from reformedliberal added, and a flat out guess on Beta Carotene from me...

PA Engineer added:

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is also well documented. I’ll post some of the studies later.

Thanks for that, will read and evaluate.

But I must say that I am highly skeptical of the claim that 2019-nCoV is a bioengineered weapon. The current facts about very low lethality so far show that this “bioweapon” is an absolute failure...

I’ve seen references to ketosis being beneficial in reducing inflammatory processes.
