Thanks for the thoughtful reply. It’s nice to meet a sane smart person here :)

I strongly suspected it from the beginning, too. Then when I read Ward’s article (first link in my #28) in early May of 2020, what little doubt I had vanished.

I posted the link to it here several times, but no interest. Everyone was too busy screaming “bioweapon!” and “it gives you AIDS!”. Then the vax doomers were only interested in all the wild and crazy things supposedly in the vaccines (itty bitty razor blades, wiggly parasites, mechanical nano-octopuses, snake venom, and so on and on).

Why everyone on the planet hasn’t been up in arms demanding a stop to GoF research I don’t know. The climate doomers are too wrought up over their imaginary global warming apocalypse on one hand, the vax doomers over their imaginary death jabs apocalypse on the other. We’re all gonna die! Well, we may very well do just that next time one of these little lab-cooked critters gets loose.

While I’ve no doubt the CCP kept an eye on Bat Lady’s little projects at WIV in case one might show promise as a bioweapon, everything points to this being an accidental leak.

Of course they covered it up. Remember the high-octane anger in the early days? That it would be an “act of war” if it came from that lab? So, what were we gonna do, bomb China? And when all the American involvement (and scandals involved) came to light, bomb ourselves? Take responsibility (and liability)? Nah. Better to grumble about wet markets and bat soup and bring a smiling Fauci out on stage.

No one is asking why we shared all that dual-use technology with the likes of China, either.

Of course they lied.

Dr Andrew Huff, former vice president of EcoHealth Alliance, claims to have had a ringside seat...The army veteran, from Michigan, said the organisation taught the Wuhan lab the “best existing methods to engineer bat coronaviruses to attack other species” for many years.

Dr Huff believes the US-funded project was “mostly a global fishing expedition for coronaviruses” to carry out gain of function work or for intelligence collection - rather than preventing future pandemics.

I found the report in Newsweek compelling. There were investigators in India, China, Europe and the U.S. The Chinese scientist talked about the firing cleavage and DNA sequences not found in nature. The bats caring the virus were not native to Wuhan.

Steve Bannon had Stephen Hatfill on as a guest in January 2020. Hatfill is a retired USAMRIID bioweapons scientist. Hatfill had already seen the Covid genome and to him it didn’t look like something that a bioweapons builder would do. Hatfill said that bioweapons builders regardless of country all use some building blocks in common and the Covid virus lacks that. Plus he said the virus behaves in a manner that you wouldn’t predict.

That doesn’t mean that it didn’t come out of the Wuhan lab. That lab was known for sloppy maintenance, dangerous in a Level 4 biolab. A technician working with SARS viruses could get exposed at work and once he was back out on the street it was off to the races. The furin cleavage site on the virus leads some to conclude that the virus was engineered but there are other scientists saying that’s not so. It’s all very inside baseball among the gene reader set.

“not engineered”:

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2211107119

There are other studies arguing that the furin cleavage site indicates engineering but I can’t locate one right now.

many
We have all been exposed to many bio-weapons?
The 4 billion our government spends on surveillance for emerging infectious diseases is primarily looking for man made chimeras.

Ever Noice how many new viruses emerging from “nature” last 50 years?

Marburg
Ebola
Aids
Avian Flu
SARS
Drug resistant bacteria?

Now most are Not man made, but the ones making the most impact like are.

Consider the ones with:
* only speculative ancestry
* pathogens that appear out of seemly no where
* pathogens that pop up simultaneously in different locations. Omicron being the best example ever

Omicron in South Africa for 26 days, then on 6 continents in 6 days!... oh, and it shares a shitTon of mouse peptides from serial passage in ACE2 huminized mice

i’m going to conjecture those are studies be funded by #teamCoverUp
;^>

imho it be most likely it be no lab leak, but a whole production scheme for Sars2 variants brewed & distributed.

AG Huff follows me back on twitter, i’ve been following him for a ~year. He has a intel background in bio-defense.

Huff accentuates the EcoHealth Alliance/ CIA link to CCP Wuhan, but I’ll be vocal for something he’s not - “... they specifically engineered it as a bio-weapon and released it intentionally.”

Same goes for the production line of all the major variants of concern... brewed & distributed.

see the end of post #87
-cheers

Poor Manus Brazil, got hammered by chimera Sars2/MU right after clearing the previous wave.
Yes, a specific bioweapon attack on that city.

My father held property for Japanese Americans during their internment in the second world war. He would later receive many wonderful tokens of appreciation. Some Japanese were aware that in their community there were some ‘bad eggs.’ However, they sensed that after Chinese were beaten by mistake in San Francisco and Oakland that their time had come. The elders went to camps more in sorrow than in anger. Their younger people developed anger in camps.

It was an American bio-weapon. We have all been exposed to a bio-weapon.

And there may be more in the pipeline. The first one didn't kill enough people. It was very inconsiderate of the virus to mutate to a much less deadly form.

“Purposely leaked?”

The U.S. government does not know, or won’t say, exactly where, when, or how the COVID-19 virus—known as SARS-CoV-2—was transmitted initially to humans. We have not determined whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan, China. Or won’t tell the public. But the info below might help.

Viral geneticists can track how a virus evolves over time. Evidence of sophisticated bioengineering to create a brand-new pathogen or alter a known pathogen’s genes could indicate human manipulation. Scientists have weighed in on both sides of a debate whether SARS-CoV-2 is natural or manmade. One later accusation that the virus was engineered came from a Norwegian team of scientists, which was swiftly attacked by other virologists, who argued that the viral genetic material is similar to other viruses found in nature Still, adding fuel to the debate is the revelation that scientists from the Wuhan lab published articles that described manipulating coronaviruses (so called “gain of function” experiments) - thereby producing all the ingredients for suspicions of nefarious intent. So they admitted they had manipulated the virus.

A coronavirus with 96% of its genome in common with SARS-CoV-2 has been found in a single species of horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus affinis) in China. This one species, only in China in the trail of looking for it’s existence is the holder of Covid 19. This bat lives all over the world from Japan to The UK and from Africa to Russia and the Netherlands. Even in Iceland, the US, and Greenland. Yet they can’t find any of the bats producing the illness other than in China where it was traced to and a fairly similar brand in Laos. An example is the UK...but not the same. The virus that causes COVID-19 hasn’t been isolated from any of the UK’s 17 resident breeding bat species. There are no known zoonotic (harmful to humans) coronaviruses found in UK bats.

With the evidence of location, the lack of illness from bats in other countries with nests in the thousands throughout the world, then it leaves a very questionable ability of path unless it was released and not accidentally escaped. And the lab it got away from was a level 4 security facility.

Thanks for posting that, I read and shared to several. It was good.

I don’t understand how I missed that article since I was very interested and read everything I could get my hands on a year ago on the topic.

…that’s a lie, I do know how I missed it. Scumbag Dorsey- Twitter and Zukerberg-Facebook set their automated filters to block the story. Just like they did to scumbag Hunter B. laptop’s story. The MSM simply ignored it as they fell in lockstep with Fauci’s natural origin theory. That how I missed it.

I’ve always been impressed by some of the indirect evidence.

Such as increased phone activity and unusually high parking lot use at night right before the outbreak from the Wuhans bio-labs.

What a coincidence huh?

(from the article from NY Post): "Andrew Huff, who worked for a New York-based non-profit that studied viruses, said COVID leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China
two-plus years ago and blamed authorities for the “biggest US intelligence failure since 9/11,” Britain’s The Sun reported Saturday."

"The lab has been at the center of fierce debates about the origins of COVID, with both Chinese government officials and lab personnel denying that the virus leaked from the facility."

"Huff, an epidemiologist, said in his new book, “The Truth About Wuhan,” that the pandemic was the result of the US government’s funding of coronaviruses in China.
He said that China’s gain-of-function experiments were carried out with lax security, which led to a leak at the Wuhan lab." (Emphasis mine).

(My Comment): Unless he worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, his information is second-hand hearsay, at best.
What organization does he work for in New York ?
Was he ever employed to work in the Wuhan Institute ? Obviously, he has a book to sell, which seems to be his primary motivation.

The omicron variant was created in a lab as an alternative to the lethal injections that many hundreds of millions have received (although many of the injections had a null payload,, i.e. placebos). Without the omicron variant, the death toll would be, at a minimum, 3x higher than it is.

The creators of the omicron variant have chosen not to reveal their activity, location, and sponsors, whether governmental or otherwise. These creators are/were more talented than the creators of the original Covid-19 based on [REDACTED].

HIV, herpes simplex and some other virii have an abundance of arginine over lysine which allows the virus hide in lipids. Since the human brain and neurons contain lots of lipids, these virii take up residence there.

Th spike protein in Covid-19, compared to other corona virii, also has the arginine vs.lysine abundance, including on the critical HIV gp120 sequence that does not appear in natural coronavirii.
