As you know, a novel
coronavirus (initially labeled 2019-nCOV before being renamed COVID-19 by the
World Health Organization1) originating in Wuhan City, Hubei Province in China, is rapidly
spreading across the world.
The first case was reported
in Wuhan on December 21, 2019. Symptoms include fever, shortness of breath,
severe cough and pneumonia which, in more severe cases, can lead to impaired
kidney and liver function and kidney failure.2,3
On January 21, 2020, the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the first U.S. case4 —
a patient in Washington state who had recently visited Wuhan. Then, the first
U.S. death was reported February 29, 2020, in Washington state.5
Less than a week later, CBS
News reported March 5, 2020, that the number of deaths had quickly risen to 11
nationwide in the U.S. — 10 in Washington state and one in California.6 Not
only that, but as of that day, “The World Health Organization urged governments
around the world to pull out ‘all the stops’” to fight the outbreak. On the up
side, China “appeared to be over the worst” of it, CBS said.
All told, as of March 5,
2020, there were 98,067 reported cases of novel coronavirus infections
affecting 88 countries, 80,430 of which were in China. Worldometer.info

COVID-19 — A Weaponized
Coronavirus?
In
this interview, Francis Boyle — whose background includes an undergraduate
degree from the University of Chicago, a juris doctor (lawyer) degree from
Harvard and a Ph.D. in political science — shares his theory of the origin of
this novel coronavirus.
For
decades, he’s advocated against the development and use of bioweapons, which he
suspects COVID-19 is. In fact, Boyle was the one who called for biowarfare
legislation at the Biological Weapons Convention of 1972, and the one who
drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, which was passed
unanimously by both houses of Congress and signed into law by George Bush, Sr.
At
the time of this recording, February 14, 2020, more than 50,000 people in China
had been infected with the virus. Certainly, it does not originate from
infected bat soup.
As a result of Boyle’s
antibiological warfare work, which goes back to the early days of the Reagan
administration — a time in which they were using DNA genetic engineering to manufacture
biological weapons — Boyle has carefully followed “mysterious outbreaks of
disease in both humans and animals around the world” that have appeared since
then.
“My
biowarfare antiterrorism act was specifically designed to not only to deal with
regular biological weapons but also with DNA genetic engineering for biological
weapons that was just coming into its infancy when the BWC was being drafted.
Even
though the BWC would cover DNA genetic engineering, I wanted to make it clear
by name that it was covered. I also made it clear [that] it covered synthetic
biology as well,” Boyle says.
“So,
when these unexplained mysterious illnesses break out, I monitor them a while
and usually I just conclude they can be explained by normal reasons: lack of
sanitation, poverty, things of that nature. But in Wuhan it seemed pretty
suspicious to me.
There
is this Biosafety Level 4 facility there in Wuhan. It’s the first in China, and
it was specifically set up to deal with the coronavirus and SARS. SARS is
basically a weaponized version of the coronavirus.
There
have been leaks before of SARS out of this facility, and indeed the only reason
for these BSL-4 facilities, based on my experience, is the research,
development, testing and stockpiling of offensive biological weapons.
For
that reason, I stated my opinion: That this Wuhan coronavirus leaked out of
that BSL-4 facility … maybe mid-November … and the Chinese government has been
lying about it and covering up ever since.”

Many Unknowns Remain
The
first reported case of COVID-19 infection was December 1, 2019. Depending on
the incubation period, which is still unknown, the initial lead, provided there
was one, might have occurred anywhere in November. The official estimate is a
14-day incubation period, but a British health expert believes it’s 24 days,
and North Korean biological warfare experts believe it’s 30 days, Boyle says.
“As
for Wuhan and Hubei Province, they’re basically under martial law. There’s no
other word for it. If you read the statements by President Xi and his
assistants, they’ve made it very clear they’re at war here, and that is
correct. They’re at war with their own biological warfare agent.
President
Xi just fired the party apparatchiks in charge of this and has brought in
trusted military personnel to handle it, as well as large numbers of PLA
[People’s Liberation Army] forces saying they’re health care workers. They
don’t look like health care workers to me. So, as of now, that’s my best
reading of the situation.”
When
asked about rumors the COVID-19 virus might have been stolen from a
high-security laboratory in Winnipeg, Canada, Boyle says:
“It
could have been. I want to make it clear that, in my opinion they were already
working on that at the Wuhan BSL-4 facility. They were working on a biological
warfare weapon involving SARS, which is a coronavirus to begin with.
We
do know that Dr. [Yoshihiro] Kawaoka at the University of Wisconsin …
resurrected the Spanish flu virus for the Pentagon, obviously for weapons
purposes, and he specializes in mating the Spanish flu virus to all sorts of
hideous biowarfare instrumentalities. And there was a record of him shipping
his products to Winnipeg.
Winnipeg
is Canada’s equivalent of our own Fort Detrick. It’s a BSL-4 facility, and yes,
they research, develop tests, manufacture and stockpile every type of hideous
biological warfare weapon that we know of. So, some of this technology could
have been stolen from Winnipeg. I don’t know about that but, as I said, the
Wuhan BSL-4 was already working on this to begin with.
They
had already developed SARS. SARS had leaked out two to three times before this,
and it seems they were turbocharging SARS, which is what [COVID-19] looks to
be. This is a brand-new generation of biowarfare weapons we haven’t seen
before.
Its
lethality goes from 15%, as estimated by Lancet, up to 17% to 18% by a British
health official and even Chinese statistics. Its infectivity is 83%. It can
infect maybe three to four people for every person infected.
It
has gain of function properties, which means it travels through air at least 6
or 7 feet, and … there are reports that even contaminated human feces give it
off, that the human feces radiate off maybe 6 or 7 feet. So, we’ve never seen
anything like this before in the history of biological warfare, at least in the
public record.
I
want to make it clear: I have never worked for the United States government.
I’ve never had a security clearance. I’ve never had access to any type of
secret information.
I
just read what is in the public record and the scientific record and try to
draw my own conclusions, and that’s what I’m giving you today. I could change
my opinion if people can provide me reputable scientific evidence to the
contrary.
Right
now, I’m standing by my conclusion that it leaked out of the Wuhan BSL-4, the
highest level of the Chinese government has known about it, they’ve been
covering it up from the get-go, until they informed the WHO at the end of
December.”
Despite Laws, Biowarfare
Experimentation Is Alive and Well
As noted by Boyle, the Wuhan
lab is a designated WHO research lab, which may sound odd, considering these
facilities specialize in
developing and researching
dangerous pathogens that can easily be turned into bioweapons.
According
to Boyle, we should not be surprised however, as “WHO is up to its eyeballs in
this type of work and has been for quite some time.” The U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and the drug industry also appear to have had
their hand in many of the outbreaks of what appear to be weaponized viruses.
“I
won’t go through the long history of big pharma getting involved in this.
There’s huge amounts of money here. I believe the West Africa Ebola pandemic
originated out of the US BSL-4 facility in Sierra Leone, and [that] they were
testing out a so-called vaccine that contained live Ebola and gave it to these
poor people,” Boyle says.
“As
for the CDC, it has been involved in every … BSL-4 biological warfare death
science you could possibly imagine … It’s a matter of public record that during
the Reagan administration, the CDC and the American Type Culture Collection
sent 40 shipments of weapons-grade biological warfare agents to Saddam Hussein
in Iraq, in the hope and expectation that he would weaponize these agents and
use them against Iran …
Of
course, the problem is that when that war was over … an order was given to U.S.
military forces to blow up Saddam Hussein’s biological warfare facilities, and
that’s not how you deal with biological warfare weapons …
[It]
contaminated our own troops, and that was a causative factor in the Gulf War
Syndrome that … murdered about 11,000 U.S. troops and disabled about 100,000.”
According
to Boyle, the U.S. government spent $100 billion on biological warfare programs
since September 11, 2011, up until October 2015, which is no small sum. To put
it into perspective, the U.S. spent $40 billion (assuming a constant dollar
value) on the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb. Boyle also
estimates the U.S. has some 13,000 life scientists working within the
biowarfare industry.
“Clearly,
the Reagan administration, under the influence of its neoconservatives who
definitely believe in biological weapons and ethnic-specific biological weapons
(you can see that in the PNAC report), were engaged in the use of DNA genetic
engineering for the purpose of manufacturing biological weapons.
That
is why I gave a Congressional briefing in Washington, D.C. in 1985. I was asked
to do that by the Council for Responsible Genetics that I work with, which
involves the leading life scientists in the world from MIT and Harvard.
I
spent seven years at Harvard. I have three degrees and I knew all these people.
They asked me to serve as their lawyer and give this Congressional briefing. I
blew the whistle, and then they asked me to draft the implementing legislation,
which I did …
I
want to make it clear I’m not here to speak in their name, I’m only speaking in
my name, but if you look at my book, ‘Biological Warfare and Terrorism,’
professor Jonathan King wrote the foreword. So, I have the leading MIT
professor of molecular biology supporting what I’m saying, if you don’t think I
know enough science about it.”
US Prepares for COVID-19
Pandemic
While there have so far only
been a limited number of reported cases of COVID-19 infection in the U.S., the
U.S. military has designated several detention sites around the country to
quarantine Americans,8 should the situation take a turn for the worse.
Historically speaking,
however, government health officials have been vastly exaggerating the threat
of pandemics in the U.S., including the bird flu, the swine flu, anthrax and Ebola.
For example, as detailed in
my 2009 New York Times bestseller “The Great Bird Flu Hoax,” then-President
George Bush Jr. projected 2 million Americans would die from bird flu; the
best-case scenario taking only 200,000 lives. The final death count in the U.S.
from that pandemic was zero.
It generated massive profits,
though, as U.S. taxpayer dollars were used to purchase 20 million doses
of Tamiflu. One of the people who was able to
line his pockets from that hoax was defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who was
president of Gilead Sciences when the drug was created.
“[The
bird flu] was another DNA, genetically engineered biological warfare
weapon,” Boyle notes. “It was a chimera. It had
three different elements in it and we were all lucky that somehow they
attenuated the lethality and the infectiveness of the bird flu.”
Whether
or not COVID-19 will be similarly ineffective in its spread and lethality
remains to be seen. Judging by the statistics in China, “it doesn’t look very
good,” Boyle says.
Understanding the COVID-19
Virus
According
to Boyle, the COVID-19 virus is a chimera, like the avian flu virus before it.
It includes SARS, an already weaponized coronavirus, along with HIV genetic
material. “That was in a published article by Indian scientists. You could see the
pictures right there, [but] political pressure was brought to bear upon them so
they withdrew [the paper].”
This is why some scientists
are now looking into using HIV drugs to treat it,9 Boyle says.
COVID-19 may also have a flu virus mixed in, along with gain of function
properties that allow it to spread a greater distance than normal.
Pandemics Repeatedly Used to
Further Police State
Pandemics
have also been used to chip away public freedoms. For example, the anthrax
scare of 2001 was used as the impetus for signing the Patriot Act, which was
the first step in taking away many of our personal freedoms and rolling out a
complete surveillance state. To me, such outcomes are far more concerning than
the risk of infection itself. Boyle adds:
“They
used Amerithrax to ram the Patriot Act through, that is correct … We became a
police state … And as I pointed out in ‘Biowarfare and Terrorism,’ I think the
same people who were behind the 9/11 terrorist attack were also behind the
Amerithrax, but I’m just connecting dots there …
What’s
called Amerithrax came out of a U.S. government biological warfare weapons lab
and program, and I publicly blew the whistle on that the first weekend of
November 2001.
The
Council for Responsible Genetics was having its convention at Harvard Business
School and I was chairing a panel with King and other experts on biological
warfare, on U.S. biological warfare programs.
As
I was walking into the Harvard Divinity School, Fox TV had a camera crew there
and I said, ‘Obviously, this came out a U.S. biological weapons program and
probably Fort Detrick.’
I
conducted the session and made the same comment. Then I made a comment to a
Washington, D.C., radio station to that effect [and to] the BBC, so everyone in
the world heard me.
At
that point, someone gave an order that I was never to be interviewed again by
any mainstream news about biological warfare programs. And that’s been the case
since the first week of November 2001.”
As
noted by Boyle, George Orwell’s book, “1984,” has become reality. Boyle has
since lectured lawyers at DePaul Law School in Chicago about the totalitarian
nature of the Patriot Act.
“Snowden
has correctly pointed out the federal government is spying on everything we
say, all of our electronic communications, you name it,” Boyle
says.
“And
again, the proof is I’ve been completely blackballed out of U.S. media. Indeed,
if you go back and look at the Amerithrax attacks, they also hit mainstream
U.S. media to make it clear to them that if they covered this issue they will
be killed too.”
Bioweapons Are Developed To Be
Used
As
noted by Boyle, the U.S. government has a large stockpile of Amerithrax — a
super weapons-grade nanotechnology anthrax with 1 trillion spores per gram —
and that’s just the tip of the iceberg of the biological weapons developed.
What’s more, Boyle has no doubt these weapons will eventually be put to use, as
they have in the past. He says:
“There
was a tabletop exercise at John Hopkins University last fall … on coronavirus.10 Tabletop
exercise, that’s a euphemism for a war game. Their estimate was that it killed
65 million people11 …
John
Hopkins is up to their eyeballs in this Nazi biological warfare dirty work. They
have a BSL-3 facility there … that they proudly announce on their website …
They justify it by saying they’re developing vaccines. OK … How do they do
that?
They
go out around the world, and this is a matter of public record, and scour for
every type of hideous disease, fungus, virus and bacteria you can possibly
imagine. They then bring it back to these BSL-4 labs and develop an offensive,
biological agent using DNA genetic engineering and synthetic biology … set up
by the Pentagon under DARPA …
Once
they have this offensive agent, they then proceed to develop a vaccine, because
the agent is no good unless you can have a vaccine to protect your own people.
So,
they’re developing vaccines to have biological weapons, because a biological
weapon consists of two elements: the offensive biological warfare agent in the
first place, and then, second, a vaccine to protect your own people, and that
is what is being done at all these BSL-4 facilities, and many of the BSL-3s as
well.
John
Hopkins has a BSL-3 and they admit they do dual use. That’s what dual use
means. They first develop the offensive biological warfare agent and then they
develop the supposed vaccine.”
Indeed, Johns Hopkins
University is the biggest recipient of research grants from federal agencies, including
the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and Department
of Defense. It has also received millions of dollars in research grants from
the Gates Foundation.12 In 2016, Johns Hopkins spent more than $2 billion on
research projects, leading all U.S. universities in research spending for the
38th year in a row.13
How Can We Best Prevent or
Treat COVID-19 Infection?
While
it’s unclear exactly which treatment is the most effective, my guess is that
Dr. Paul Marik’s intravenous vitamin C protocol for sepsis would be a good
starting point, seeing how sepsis appears to be what kills those who succumb to
a serious COVID-19 infection.
Marik’s retrospective
before-after clinical study14,15 showed that
giving patients IV vitamin C with hydrocortisone and vitamin B1 for two days
reduced mortality from 40% to 8.5%. The precise protocol used was 200 mg
of thiamine every 12 hours, 1,500 mg of ascorbic acid every six hours, and
50 mg of hydrocortisone every six hours.16 Importantly,
the treatment has no side effects and is inexpensive, readily available and
simple to administer.
According to Marik, vitamin C
and corticosteroids have a synergistic effect,17 which
is part of why his combo protocol is so effective. Still, simply using
high-dose IV vitamin C exclusively has been shown to improve survival in
patients with sepsis and acute respiratory failure, reducing mortality from 46%
to 30%.18
It also reduced the number of
days they needed to remain hospitalized. On average, those who received vitamin
C had by Day 28 spent three fewer days in the intensive care unit than the
placebo group (seven days compared to 10). By Day 60, the treatment group had
also spent seven fewer days in the hospital overall —15 days compared to 22.19
While there are no trials
that look at integrating hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), my
suspicion is that this would provide a powerful synergy that could get the
fatality rate from sepsis even closer to zero. Sadly, HBOT is not available at
many hospitals, and even if it were, it is not approved for sepsis.
You can learn more about
Marik’s sepsis protocol in “Vitamin C — A Game Changer in Treatment of Deadly Sepsis,”
along with commonsense recommendations for how to lower your risk of sepsis in
the first place.
You can also review Marik’s
PowerPoint presentation, “Hydrocortisone, Ascorbic Acid and Thiamine for the
Treatment of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock,” presented at the 2020
Critical Care Reviews meeting in Australia. For COVID-19 at-home care advice

One of the Most Powerful Videos
I’ve Ever Seen
The
following video from Barbara Loe Fisher is one of the most powerful videos that
I have ever seen. I am hopeful that watching this video will inspire you to
take up the cause and join the fight for vaccine freedom and independence.
There
is a cultural war and collusion between many industries and federal regulatory
agencies that results in a suppression of the truth about vital important
health issues. If this suppression continues we will gradually and
progressively erode our private individual rights that our ancestors fought so
hard to achieve. Please take a few minutes to watch this video.
