Mike Pompeo reveals intel that may link China lab to COVID-19 outbreak
NY Post ^

Posted on 01/16/2021 8:42:42 AM PST by navysealdad

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo late Friday revealed previously unreported intelligence that may link a lab in Wuhan, China, to the start of the global coronavirus pandemic.

Pompeo also called on the World Health Organization to fully investigate the possibility that the deadly bug accidentally escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology

Look at CDC and I’m sure other worldwide literature on pandemic. Goes by decades. Take an inevitable natural occurance and use it to subjugate the population.

I’m not arguing the virus was a natural mutation. Only claiming that pandemic has been planned as “the tool” to dispense with civil liberty. “Public health” trumps everything.

Yup. Just more propaganda to perpetuate the flu in the news.

Try googling at “China researching bat coronaviruses” and set the search parameters to only search for articles written before 2019. I used to be able to do that but now it crashes my browser when I try. China effed up royally and there are powerful interests trying to cover for them. Everyone wants a piece of that Chinese pie but you and I won’t get a slice, we’ll get coronavirus.

because the same powerful interests that have just shown us all that they can shut down internet communication to whoever they want whenever they want are covering up the biggest F up in history. The truth is either your friend or your enemy. The truth isn’t their friend.

It is really not that easy to purposefully develop a virus for the purpose of causing massive deadly disease. Mother Nature has already demonstrated that she does that quite well on her own without anyone’s help.

For a lot of reasons, I do not think that Covid-19 was engineered. Simply put, the technology does not exist to design a virus to have specific abilities. Furthermore, the fact that the Chinese routinely steal our scientific technology indicates that their science is not as advanced as ours. Normally, when we want to change the function of a virus, we insert genes from other organisms into the virus, and there are tell-tale signs that we have done this. For example, there might be a short sequence called a “multiple cloning site,” or there might be sequences from an unrelated organism (for example, a sequence from a completely different virus species, or from a plant or animal the virus does not infect).

I should mention that the SARS-CoV-2 virus contains a gene that has sections that are unlike anything known, which greatly increases its virulence. However, from reading the literature, I find nothing that strongly suggests that the mutation is not natural. It seems that the mutation occurred in bats. This is consistent with the generality that nature is much better at genetic engineering than humans.

https://www.pnas.org/content/118/2/e2021785118

The scientific article mentions some mutations of SARS-CoV-2 that decrease its virulence. In general, viruses decrease their virulence as a means of survival. They “want” to be maximally infective but minimally deadly or virulent, since this helps them propagate.

FYI ALERT

Just got an iPhone message to schedule my appointment to get my 1st Covid shot at the University of Michigan. I can do it any time in the next 18 months.

It makes sense that employees of the lab got infected and zoonotic transmission and subsequent epidemic in the general population took place that way. It’s the simplest explanation also. I had thought a year ago that there was a contamination of some sort in to the town, perhaps via poor wastes management, but this scenario is even more likely.

Thanks for the link to the PNAS article.

Hey Mike....DUH!! The virus came from a level 4 lab in Canada and weaponized in Wuhan.. It was reported in August of 2019.

How many wuhan residents were flown as bio terror weapons here and around the world. If the cdc were not another branch of globalists they would publish patient zeroes in every major city.

That can be entirely true, and is not evidence that the Chicoms deliberately engineered a virus to have pandemic potential.

I worked at USAMRIID for a while. We were highly aware of the risks of accidentally releasing a lab virus into the wild. We discussed ways to avoid that all the time, through engineering controls and frequent safety training.

The Chicoms biggest crime here was to try to cover up the outbreak instead of taking steps to contain it right away. They should be held accountable.

Speaking of lab related outbreaks, did you ever hear of the anthrax exposure from the lab in Sverdlovsk, Russia? I used to show my interns an autopsy picture of a patient whose brain was completely black from the anthrax. It was stunning.

That’s a bit of a non-sequitur response.
