​Not to _haarp_ on it, but the previous director of the CDC, noted virologist - Robert Redfield, has now publicly stated in a CNN interview that he believes it came from a lab; he says the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but I think that is a fall-back tactic to obfuscate the culpability of the Level 4 Labs at Fort Detrick's USAMRIID. U.S. labs being a possible source is mentioned by CNN news presenters in this interview, but subtly spun as a diversion tactic by officials in China. Some claim a sample of the virus was smuggled to the W.I.V. through Canads's N.M.I facility. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmWYfqekobCbmqs&authuser=0 Fauci was involved in encouraging and funding Wuhan's Institute of Virology to conduct research into Corona Viruses in 2019. No host species has been found. Bat > pangolin > human ace2 receptor remains an unproven hypothesis. That is why artificially sequenced viral mRNA instructions for ribosome assembly of amino acids into the correct sequence to create sars-cov-2 spike proteins (without making the rest of the virus) is being employed as the vaccine technology of choice. However, Ft. Detrick knew that sequence and was providing that information to vaccine research companies before the covidid19 was even recognized. in Wuhan. The Event 201 pandemic exercise, conducted on October 18, 2019, Event 201 seminar transcripts describe a pandemic event which starts in China. www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/about The following is a more complete presentation of a working hypothesis of what I think has occurred: In my opinion, The framing ... of the Wuhan Institute of Virology by US is intended to obfuscate our own culpability in developing a sars-cov-2 gain of function ... the ability to readily bind to the human ace2 receptor in lung tissue. This was accomplished at Fort Detrick by artificially sequencing the amino acids of the spike protein protogers, in an order that causes this chain of amino acids to coil in a precise tertiary structure (3D shape) that specifically fits the ace2 like a key to a very specific lock ... allowing the virus to enter ... releasing it's own genetic code in the form of strand of viral mRNA into the cell cytoplasm with the instructions for the order in which the cell ribosomes (free floating micro molecular bio-machines that assemble amino acids in specific orders to make specific proteins) should assemble various amino acids to produce all the parts necessary for new viruses to assemble and begin infecting other cells at an accelerating rate.

[@mim8312]

Too many people are focusing on the trees, e.g., Fauci's possible stupidity, if that is true, and ignoring the forest. The genocidal actions of the CCP. The GOP is desperately attacking Fauci to distract Americans, because its Wall Streeters and banksters, who own those politicians, are deeply invested in the CCP’s China, so they do not want to impose real sanctions. Sadly, that is the same with many Democrats. The billionaires transferred millions of US jobs to China by establishing subsidized factories, using slave labor, free land, permission to pollute, etc., from the CCP in exchange for giving the CCP a share from the profits in the quasi-slave run factories. Then, they could avoid paying US taxes, because they did not have to pay US taxes under the law until they brought those profits back to the USA formally - which they never will because they use foreign tax shelters in the Cayman Islands, Panama, Ireland, etc. See Fortune’s “Commentary: Apple Avoided $40 Billion in Taxes. Now It Wants a Gold Star?” See "Apple knew a supplier was using child labor but took 3 years to fully cut ties, despite the company's promises to hold itself to the 'highest standards,' report says" in business insider. See "China: Apple accused of violating labour laws as employees at iPhone factory found working 100 hours of overtime & being ‘punished’ for not meeting targets; Incl. co. comments" in business-humanrights d o t o r g. See "‘Woke’ Apple continues to use Chinese slave labor, report shows" in washington times. See "Apple Agrees To Pay $113 Million To Settle 'Batterygate' Case Over iPhone Slowdowns" in NPR. See "Apple fined record $1.2 billion by French antitrust authorities" in nbcnews. Instead of punishing the CCP merely with sanctions, we should boycott China's high tech products, raise tariffs on all Chinese products to the sky slowly, so that factories in Malaysia or Vietnam or Mexico or Brazil or India or in other countries can start to produce the same products, and then just ban all of Chinese products from all allied countries: the US, Japan, India, EU (excluding Germany if some CCP-apologist like Merkel gains power after she leaves), etc. The Pearl Harbor attack killed less than 4000 innocents. The CCP's viruses have killed that many every few hours for many months all over the world. Am I the only one struck by the "coincidence" that the deadliest, Covid variants seem to be supposedly getting "created within" and attacking the countries that are the most hated and represent the most powerful "enemies" or competitors of the CCP: e.g., India, the US, the UK, Brazil, etc.? The CCP knew that this virus was transmissible between humans for months before it revealed it and reports of SEPTEMBER 2019 Covid infections already coming from Wuhan to ITALY indicate that it had been growing in China for many months. The CCP closed China's internal borders from Wuhan while keeping its international borders open to enable its infected travelers from Wuhan to fly to the EU, India, US, Brazil, South Africa, and other countries and thus infect them. That makes their insistence on foreign nations keeping their international borders open to infected, Chinese travelers and hypocritical claims of racism against countries wisely closing their borders, like Australia, really outrageous. Such tactics evidence bad intent. See e.g., "How China locked down internally for COVID-19, but pushed foreign travel" in the Economic Times of the India times. They closed their own international borders later when the infections surged in those countries which they successfully had infected. See how the CCP's HOs bear equal responsibility: "WHO says countries should keep borders open, trade & people moving despite coronavirus" in Reuters. The CCP's decision to keep China's international borders open to infect other countries, while selfishly closing its internal borders, enabled this pandemic to grow in the US, India, etc., and caused most of the infections and deaths because at that time the number of infections was still relatively tiny and if other countries had not been lied to by the CCP they might have quarantined the fewer, infected persons in their countries. See "Public health expert says ‘zero doubt’ most U.S. virus deaths were avoidable" in PBS. If the CCP had closed China's international borders, of course, its claimed "enemies" like India and the US might never have even gotten any infections as happened with SARS 1, which I contend is why it insisted on keeping international travelers leaving Wuhan to infect other ("enemy") countries for many weeks. Even assuming that it was initially not leaked from the Wuhan lab intentionally, it was indisputably then used as a tool by the CCP to harm other countries because it kept its flights to other countries flying to infect those other countries.

What has recently come to fore again is the Fauci NIH special funding due to his sidekick spilling the beans on Australian TV. It was old news that the NIH was involved and probably gifted the IP to China back around February, 2020 where you could hear Chris Martenson explain it. Wuhan was where it was amplified, not where it originated. Look up Zach Bush MD's videos starting with: GMOs: Engineering the Nature out of Humanity, Webinar Replay with Dr. Zach Bush in order to understand the biome and amplification.

@Zack Smith I don’t think the majority is claiming this is a “bio-weapon”. Yet, it is most certainly released from a lab. Whether it was intentional or not, remains to be seen. But that is the crux. China has not allowed any independent investigation. Which is mind-blowing. The world should know where, and how this virus was released. To deny a basic investigation goes against any claims to “follow the science” when arguing for social distancing and masks yet disregard it when it comes to learning how to prevent a future pandemic.

Brett & Heather (Dark horse podcast) were my guiding light & steady ground throughout the first 2 years of the pandemic & continue to be a voice of reason for my family! I will forever be grateful to them for bravely speaking the truth & creating a public platform for healthy scientific discourse. They are evolutionary biologists, both former professors, parents, married, etc & 2 of the greatest thinkers of our time. We live in a time when people are told "what to think" instead of being taught "how to think", which has unfortunately lead to a lot of division & confusion among the people throughout the past few years. They teach people how to think like a scientist -- how to identify reliable resources, evaluate scientific evidence, how to determine if a study is designed properly & what the outcome might suggest & what it does not suggest (because that is also important), how to separate fact from opinion & avoid being manipulated by mis/disinformation in the news & on the internet, etc. They arm people with the skills they need to make evidence-based healthcare decisions & lifestyle choices for themselves & their families, and for that they are a blessing to the world.

Ontop of the arguments regarding origin of the virus, it's just so relevant to look at the cover-up where china locked up the doctor ringing the alarm on the virus as well and intentionally minimized the outbreak when we could have all been preparing.

[@pepelepew1077]

For the eighth time, it's unclear whether China did this, look up Nathan Rich and Cyrus Jannsen videos for preexisting C19 elsewhere [9 us states, Brazil, Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands and Australia via blood samples donated, and sewage] earliest being March 1-12, 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. What has recently come to fore again is the Fauci NIH special funding due to his sidekick spilling the beans on Australian TV. It was old news that the NIH was involved and probably gifted the IP to China back around February, 2020 where you could hear Chris Martenson explain it. Wuhan was where it was amplified, not where it originated. Look up Zach Bush MD's videos starting with: GMOs: Engineering the Nature out of Humanity, Webinar Replay with Dr. Zach Bush in order to understand the biome and amplification. Unique comment: look up the genome trees used to find the exact origin, apparently it is currently believed to be Guangzhou, which is hundreds of miles south of Wuhan. Don't settle for lazy unsettled claims, and please don't repeat them ad nauseum. Unique addendum to your comment: 1. Look up Daniel Bell, a Canadian scholar now based in China [not the musician] to gain insight as to how China functions politically, it's more complex and nuanced than what you can glean from US media where no one knows how to read in Chinese [therefore, how much can they know? Imagine a Chinese scholar who can't read English criticizing the US]. 2. No one in the west likes censorship and totalitarianism, but combined with Bell's research, one could make a case for social order. A study of Chinese history and philosophy would provide a clue as to the relative rankings between harmony and truth, guess what wins out? 3. You probably meant to say minimized the SHARING OF INFORMATION OF THE outbreak, right? Look up what Taiwan did. They monitored social media two months before China even reported abnormal activity, sent a team of doctors to investigate, then after quick confirmation, executed their local well thought out pandemic response. If not for a NZ pilot, there was a stretch of zero domestic infections for 243-251 days [I lost count] in Taiwan. Now look at the amount of money spent on US intelligence. They probably had zero Chinese speakers monitoring China but they probably spend hundreds of billions in intelligence. It was the same story re wars against Iraq, no one in US agencies at one time could speak Arabic. Just laziness, corruption and incompetence. 4. Look at the French situation, the military wouldn't even treat athletes when they returned from the military games, and they forced the silence on these patients. 5. Look at what the US did to hide facts in Fort Detrick in July-August, 2019; add that to 4.7 million likely cases extant in the US based on blood samples donated to 9 states and testing positive, Dec. 13, 2019 to January 17, 2020. Hard to fake 106-109 positive tests which translate to Fort Detrick timing of patient Zero for USA. Two old age homes had a mysterious atypical flu in the summer within a 2 mile distance from fort Detrick. Also note the other 'vaping' incidents. All covered up like the typical USA. Hypocrites. Okay, now that you have learned the truth stop repeating garbage. Thank you.
