Sars in 2012 WAS a coronavirus, though it did not kill millions.

And there may indeed been one before:

“Around the same time as this coronavirus jump from cow to human could have taken place, a human epidemic attributed to influenza was spreading around the world. This 1889-1890 pandemic was characterised by a general feeling of illness and discomfort, fever, and pronounced central nervous system symptoms. Strangely, the observed central nervous system symptoms were more pronounced during this epidemic than in other influenza outbreaks.

More than one million fatalities were linked to this pandemic. A significant increase in case fatality with increasing age was reported; this means that, as early findings on COVID-19 would suggest, the elderly were harder hit. Even though modern-day science investigation has linked this epidemic to an H2N2 influenza virus, absolute evidence linking this flu virus to the epidemic was never obtained. This is primarily due to the lack of preserved tissue samples from that period.”

To set the record straight, there are at least 40 different coronaviruses. The number seven I posted earlier apparently are just those that have jumped to humans.

“The federal government has at its disposal sufficient HUMINT, signals intelligence, and satellite capability to quickly determine that all those videos of apartment doors welded shut and people collapsing in the street, and all those stories of mass graves being dug, and clouds rising from cermemtoriums large enough to be seen from space were all bogus.”

You have watched too many Tom Clancy movies.

Let me ask you this.

If you was in charge in the US at the early stages of Covid-19 and you saw videos of Chinese welding shut apartment doors and when asked the Chinese were totally mum about what was happening, and you believed them, would your top “expert” on infectious diseases say we have nothing to worry about?

“They were damned if they do and damned if they didn’t”

No, they were not!! They were inept or crooked (or both). Most diseases are treated — not vaccinated. Why didn’t the geniuses focus on treatment? Here we are two years and a gazillion dollars into the Wuhan flu and we are just now beginning to see treatments.

If you got sick with the COVID in February of this year you were told to go home and take care of yourself, quarantine, and if you could not breathe just head to the ER. It did not get any better at the ER and if you ended up on a ventilator your next stop was the morgue.

And, of course, you absolutely must take the vaccine! How did that work out by the way? Well, let’s see. Yesterday we had well over 400,000 cases of COVID reported. This is after over 60% of the country has been vaccinated. In January of this year at the peak and before the vaccine was rolled out we were considerably less than 300,000. Now, that has worked out really well, too. Right?

We were promised by the scientist (Fauci & Birx) that all we needed to do was shut down for two weeks to flatten the curve and all would be good. Now that worked out well, also. Then we were promised that we needed two shots of the very safe vaccine and we would be totally protected and would not die. Dying has always been inserted into the discussion. Right?

You believe the BS — I’m not buying it and most who realistically look at the facts don’t buy it either.

Remember this is the same government that has got us to 30 TRILLION in debt, bailed out of Afghanistan with no plan, and a whole host of other major f***k ups.

Smart. Real smart!

“Remember, back in January of 2020, when St. Anthony of Fauci said of Covid-19 “The American people should not be worried or frightened by this. It’s a very, very low risk to the United States, but it’s something we, as public health officials, need to take very seriously.” Does that sound like a government worried about an extinction level, mass casualty, Omega Man scenario to you?”

I have said numerous times the gov’t had made numerous mistakes with this pandemic. And I will repeat..we never had a covid 19 style pandemic before. Everyone learned from this one...every country on earth either downplayed it or overplayed it.

So where were the stacks of bodies in the streets in Italy? In New York and Seattle? How long do you think it takes to suss out the CCP disinformation campaign? Think 15 days is enough?

NOW you're having it both ways! Fedzilla was simultaneously overreacting and downplaying it. My head is spinning reading the flip flopping!

for reasons only they know,

that's easy - Billions of dollars. Not so mysterious. Greed and political power.

We are first world country. We don’t have dead out in the streets. We did have mass burials of covid victims. Hart Island in NYC for one.

Now I can show you dead covid victims laying out in the streets of India

Our government and its 20 million appointed bureaucrats are such losers.

I do not have enough firepower to make a dent

How many wet markets are there in China? When the virus first is reported in Wuhan, why would any reasoning person think that fact is a mere coincidence and should not be vigorously investigated?

A Chinese “wet market” is relatively common across many Chinese poor city areas, certainly not limited to Wuhan alone. They are called wet markets after the blood, visceral organs, and intestines left to bleed out onto the streets after slaughter in the open air. (flies, insects, rodents, and rotting debris ignored, the simple tracking of intestines and blood “home” from the open, non-refrigerated markets spreads filth, doesn't it?

But Wuhan IS different because its nearby biological research labs infect and test and disect hundreds of lab animals every day. That a few dozen, or a few hundred are NOT sanitized and burned out each hour at a 100% safe percent, but instead are sold by underpaid lab assistants to the meat market next door is simple circumstantial evidence: Method (walk out the back (unlocked) lab door, sell the raw meat),
Motive (money to feed my family, myself; instead of burning the lab animals).
Opportunity (Bribery money to the back-door guards, to the burn room attendants)

Ever notice when you see a commercial for a drug on tv they always list the side effects?

Ever notice these commercials pushing the covid shots don’t?

Weird right?
