The idea that SARS-CoV-2
originated in a bioweapons laboratory is gaining traction. May 3, 2020, The New
York Times reported1 that during an ABC “This Week” interview Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo had stated “the coronavirus originated in a lab in Wuhan.”
Pompeo also accused China of covering up the leak.
“Mr.
Pompeo, the former C.I.A. chief and one of the senior administration officials
who is most hawkish on dealing with China, said that ‘there’s enormous
evidence’ that the coronavirus came from the lab, though he agreed with the
intelligence assessment that there was no indication that the virus was
man-made or genetically modified,” The New York Times
writes.2
Now, if you’ve been following
this newsletter, you’ve likely seen my interviews with bioweapons expert Francis Boyle and molecular biologist Judy Mikovits, both of
whom have cited evidence that strongly points toward SARS-CoV-2 being a
laboratory creation. So, the assessment that there’s “no indication” that the
virus has been modified seems dubious at best. Most likely, we’re not just
dealing with scientific interpretations here, but with political games as well.
Bioweapon Labs Must Be Shut
Down and Scientists Prosecuted.......
Fauci Backed Dangerous
Coronavirus Research..........
Fauci Defended Gain-of-Function
Research on Bird Flu
Fauci also defended and
promoted gain-of-function research on bird flu viruses a decade ago, saying
such research was worth the risk because it allows scientists to prepare for
pandemics.34 In reality, this kind of research does not appear to have
improved governments’ pandemic responses.
If anything, it’s a curious
coincidence that the very viruses undergoing gain-of-function research are the
ones causing pandemics. As noted in an interesting April 24, 2020, Salon
article35 written by independent journalist and analyst for the
Institute for Public Accuracy Sam Husseini, dangerous pathogens are made even
more so in laboratories around the world, and the COVID-19 pandemic really
“exposes the threat of a biowarfare arms race.”...........
The Danger Outweighs Any
Potential Benefit
As long as we are creating
the risk, the benefit will always be secondary. By taking dangerous pathogens
and making them even more lethal through gain-of-function research, scientists
and those who fund them are playing a high-risk game of Russian Roulette.54 Any
scientific or medical gains made from such research pales in comparison to the
incredible risks involved. This sentiment has been echoed by others in a
variety of scientific publications.55,56,57,58
Considering the potential for
a massively lethal pandemic, I believe it’s safe to say that BSL 3 and 4
laboratories pose a very real and serious existential threat to humanity. U.S.
biowarfare programs employ some 13,000 scientists,59 all
of whom are hard at work creating ever-deadlier pathogens, while the public is
simply told to trust that these pathogens will never be released, either
involuntarily or voluntarily.
Historical
facts tell us accidental exposures and releases have already happened, and we
only have our lucky stars to thank that none have turned into pandemics taking
the lives of millions. Considering safety breaches at these labs number in the
hundreds, it’s only a matter of time before something really nasty gets out.
Consider the ramifications if a souped-up Ebola or Spanish flu were to get out,
for example.
Regardless of the exact
method behind its creation, it seems clear to me that SARS-CoV-2 has been
modified and that its origin is being covered up by responsible parties. Why
the cover-up? In short, to avoid life behind bars. The Biological Weapons
Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 states:60
“Whoever
knowingly develops, produces, stockpiles, transfers, acquires, retains, or
possesses any biological agent, toxin, or delivery system for use as a weapon,
or knowingly assists a foreign state or any organization to do so, shall be
fined under this title or imprisoned for life or any term of years, or both.
There is extraterritorial Federal jurisdiction over an offense under this
section committed by or against a national of the United States.”
With
sufficient evidence, many researchers and public health authorities stand to spend
the rest of their lives behind bars, which is the penalty that the
Anti-Terrorism Act calls for. This is why it is vital that we initiate
immediate actions to start closing BSL 3 and 4 laboratories that are working
with the most lethal pathogens known to man and prosecuting those involved in
biowarfare-related research.
If we fail to start this
process soon, and simply wait until something worse escapes, the COVID-19 pandemic will seem like a walk
in the park and we could approach death rates more similar to the Spanish flu
of 1918 or even the bubonic plague that wiped out 60% of Europe.
