Retired Israeli Lt. Col. Dany Shoham, who was among the first to suggest that the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak may be linked to China’s military research, now believes there is a strong possibility that the virus escaped from a Chinese laboratory.
Col. Shoham stated in an article published last month that the initial theory that the virus behind the COVID-19 pandemic occurred naturally is coming under strong doubt by both scientists and intelligence analysts.
The former senior intelligence analyst for the Israel Defense Forces and Defense Ministry is a microbiologist and expert on chemical and biological warfare who has studied the matter.
According to Col. Shoham, the probability of human intervention in creating the coronavirus is higher than naturally occurring, spontaneous evolutionary adaptation. However, Chinese secrecy, deception and obfuscation about the virus origin are preventing spies and scientists from learning where the virus outbreak began.
“The genomic origin of the index virus (the strain that infected patient zero) has been determined to be a Chinese bat virus that underwent extensive pre-adaptation to humans, including continual transmissibility, prior to infecting patient zero,” Col. Shoham, now with the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, an Israeli think tank, wrote in a journal article.
“The open question is how, where, and when such exceptional genomic pre-adaptation took place,” he stated.
The debate over the virus origin has the potential for explosive disclosures, he said, yet intelligence agencies around the world so far have remained largely silent...

And we know that that hasn’t happened? (This mild bioweapon also seems to be controllable by mild measures that have been actively suppressed.) We also err if we think discrete nation-states are the units of “enemy” these days—as opposed to alliances of interests that span nations.
I don’t know if this was the plan to bankrupt the United States economy NOW or if it was supposed to implement the plan at a later date but with the premature release, decided to take advantage of a crisis of their own making.
It seems just the most ham-handed release of a bioweapon possible by infecting one’s own population FIRST, endangering one’s own ruling elite and nearly crippling one’s own economy.
I knew this a year ago.
1. The original host was bats.
2. The virus enters the cell via the ace receptor.
3. The virus has MORE AFFINITY for the human cell than the bat cell. This is impossible. A virus mutates all the time. Most mutations change little. Some make the virus more infective and normally the same or less lethal. That is a successful mutation from the viewpoint of the virus.
During the cycles of mutation the virus attunes itself to its natural host which was the bat. Thus it would have greater affinity for the ace receptor of the bat than humans. The only way this bat virus became more infective of humans is via genetic manipulation.
Was this manipulation done as part of bio warfare research or just research is not known. I suspect bio warfare research. I think the virus accidentally escaped. The Chinese knew they had a problem and then decided to export it to the world via not shutting down transportation internationally from Wuhan. That was an act of bio warfare and very successful.
It was released to cause further chaos in the election and make the steal easier...
Of course, Wuhan has somehow been operating fine for the better part of a year now and it is clear that a lot of the videos and theater that supposedly was smuggled out was for our benefit in convincing the US and Europe, especially, of the need for that sort of draconian lockdown.
COVID bump for later....
