COVID-19 could be a Bioweapon created by the Chinese Communist Party

On 2015, CCP virologists had successfully created a hybrid SARS-like virus that can infect humans more efficiently than previous SARS viruses.

Here is an article they published in Nature Magazine :

A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence
Published: 09 November 2015
https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3985


Xing-Yi Ge & Zhengli-Li Shi are CCP virologists from Wuhan Institute of Virology.

I've assumed this to be a possibility since early on in this.
 
The poster said "There's no evidence of manipulation in the perfectly natural genetic makeup of the virus."

Science has for many, many yrs developed virus in the lab to better understand how virus works. They will try to duplicate a new virus to find out how a vaccine might be developed. All the poster is saying is that the COVID virus that is killing millions of people was not manmade. To be perfectly sexist, Mother Nature gave it to us.
That is not duplicating a new natural virus, but is creating a new, unnatural, hybrid, chimeric virus.

If such a practice is so common, why were some biologists so surprised and said “The only impact of this work is the creation, in a lab, of a new, non-natural risk” ?
 
Is it just me or are there suddenly a bunch of new posters? Who got banned?
 
I mean, wouldn’t a bio weapon have a much lower survivability rate?

Not necessarily. The primary purpose could be to disable people forcing the "enemy" to commit resources to treatment and prevention while at the same time disrupting the enemy economy.

Good point. And a bio weapon developed in China probably wouldn't be launched in their own country. :rolleyes:

Actually, that would be a good idea IF the creators knew the effects and had also developed methods to deal with the disease. What better way to deflect "blame" than by having it appear in your own house first?

Note that one action taken by China was to try to blame this as a bio-attack by the US Military.

China already has a compliant citizenry, many of whom already wear masks and take other health precautions because of the high rates of such infections. Historically most such diseases have started in China naturally. Out of an estimated population of 1.4 Billion, they have only reported a little over 102,000 cases and less than 5000 deaths as of this date.

The best way to deflect blame is not get blamed in the first place.

It would be idiotic to release it in China if China was the creator and released it intentionally.

It would be far better to release it in a different country, say the US, around Fort Detrick. The virus would grow and spread, and given how close it was to a US bio weapons lab it would be thought that an accidental release occurred ( that site had been shut down at times for poor controls).

Then there would be no blame placed on China, and the source would be believed to be the US.

That would be the smart play. At the same time it would disrupt the US economy just as tensions are building new up between the two countries.

That is what I would have done if I was going to release a bio weapon

Yes, "developed virus in the lab" includes natural and unnatural, duplicating, hybrid of existing, combo old and newly created, and wholly, newly created. They try everything they can think of. But even newly created and unnatural draws on knowledge learned from having worked with existing, natural virus. It is best to work with the SARS-CoV-2 virus to learn about it to best determine a response (vaccine or remedy). But it's entirely possible that a virus could have previously been developed wholly in the lab they find has many similarities to a new, natural virus that will put them ahead of the learning curve.

If creating a new, unnatural, chimeric, human-infecting virus in the lab is such a common practice, could you please show me some other treatises announcing that they created a new, unnatural, chimeric, human-infecting virus (other than the SARS-like virus) in the lab?

What you parse-out is most certainly not common practice. Of the sum total of what is common practice in lab virus development, what you describe is probably just a small part thereof.
 
The WHO investigators declared the virus as natural in origin. Conspiracy theorists may leave the thread.
 
I think there were a number of reasons why the virus would be released...

From the CCP point of view...

Lockdown riots in Hong Kong...possible revolutionary contagion stubbed out.

Releasing the virus into the West would do far more damage than to China because of the fact that our societies are open...cities like London and New York are hugely busy hubs.

Trump pushing the America first principle...possibly pulling back manufacturing and investment from China...also possible interference in US election due to postal voting escalation.

From the Western “New World Order” perspective,

Rescuing the banks...they now have nations paying them vast amounts of interest..even at the current low rates.

Control of the population...a population that was becoming ungovernable....populist.

Segways perfectly with the green agenda.
 
The origin of the coronavirus remains unclear after a W.H.O.-China inquiry.

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/03/29/world/covid-vaccine-coronavirus-cases
A joint inquiry by the World Health Organization and China into the origins of the coronavirus has yielded a 124-page report full of new detail but no profound new insights. And it does little to allay Western concerns about the role of the Chinese Communist Party, which is notoriously resistant to outside scrutiny and has at times sought to hinder any investigation by the W.H.O.
The Chinese government, while granting some degree of access and cooperation, has repeatedly tried to bend the investigation to its advantage. The report was written jointly by a team of 17 scientists from around the world, chosen by the W.H.O., and 17 Chinese scientists, many of whom hold official positions or work at government-run institutions, giving Beijing great influence over its conclusions.

Jesse Bloom, an evolutionary biologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, said after seeing a copy of the report that he was not convinced that a laboratory leak was extremely unlikely. He said he agreed with the report that the virus could have come from a natural zoonosis, but he did not see any reasoning in the report to dismiss the possibility of a lab escape.


[ OPEN LETTER ] Call for a Full and Unrestricted International Forensic Investigation into the Origins of COVID-19

https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/COVID OPEN LETTER FINAL 030421 (1).pdf
Based on our analysis, and as confirmed by the global study convened by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Chinese authorities, there is as yet no evidence demonstrating a fully natural origin of this virus. The zoonosis hypothesis, largely based on patterns of previous zoonosis events, is only one of a number of possible SARS-CoV-2 origins, alongside the research-related accident hypothesis.
In particular, we wish to raise public awareness of the fact that half of the joint team convened under that process is made of Chinese citizens whose scientific independence may be limited, that international members of the joint team had to rely on information the Chinese authorities chose to share with them, and that any joint team report must be approved by both the Chinese and international members of the joint team.

We have therefore reached the conclusion that the joint team did not have the mandate, the independence, or the necessary accesses to carry out a full and unrestricted investigation into all the relevant SARS-CoV-2 origin hypotheses - whether natural spillover or laboratory/research- related incident.
The Terms of Reference, which govern the exact objectives, duties and responsibilities of the joint-investigation, were negotiated without sufficient transparency (July 2020), and then made public after considerable delay (November 2020).

• These Terms of Reference were significantly limited, for instance by stipulating that most of the field work had to be conducted by the Chinese side with the results simply communicated to the international members of the joint team for review and discussion, in a format chosen by the Chinese side.

• The intermediate and final reports of the joint study rely on a consensus among the 17 Chinese members and 17 international members of the joint team. It is likely, therefore, that reports resulting from this process will ultimately represent a necessary compromise based partly on political and other limitations.

• The selection process of international experts on the team did not adequately screen for conflicts of interest.

• The skills represented in the team are purely focused on public health and zoonosis at the detriment of forensic skills suitable for investigating a laboratory or research-related accident.

• The team did not have the mandate or access to granular lab records, data, and personnel to an extent that would allow them to confidently evaluate the various hypotheses.
 
An Interview with Richard Ebright: The WHO Investigation Members Were “participants in disinformation”

https://www.independentsciencenews....auci-francis-collins-systematically-thwarted/
You have said several times that this WHO mission was literally “a charade”.

Yes, its members were willing –and, in at least one case, enthusiastic– participants in disinformation.

The pre-negotiated “Terms of Reference” for the WHO study did not even acknowledge the possibility of a laboratory origin of the virus and did not even mention the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), the Wuhan Center for Disease Control (CDC) or the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products.

Regarding the inspection personnel, at least one member of the WHO mission team, Ecohealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak, seems to have conflicts of interest that should have disqualified him from being part of an investigation of the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yes. Daszak was the contractor who funded the laboratory at WIV that potentially was the source of the virus (with subcontracts from $200 million from the US Department of State and $7 million from the US National Institutes of Health), and he was a collaborator and co-author on research projects at the laboratory.
 



China says no or puts there own condition of control on everything that comes into their country from another govt or entity of any kind. They are by intent a closed society. They are not trying to hide something, they are trying to hide everything.

I don't trust anything Redfield says. He was unqualified and disreputable coming into the position of CDC Director and he's just as off-camber now.

I didn't watch the 3rd video, but am in general agreement with the caption. Except for some of the yrs of the 1920s and 30s, China has been this way for 4,000 yrs through dynasties, kingdoms, warlords...

The envelope of a virus helps it to avoid attack from the host’s immune system, and enable the virus to infect the host. A virus envelope actually determines what species the virus can infect.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_envelope
A viral envelope is the outermost layer of many types of viruses.[1] It protects the genetic material in their life-cycle when traveling between host cells. Not all viruses have envelopes.

The envelopes are typically derived from portions of the host cell membranes (phospholipids and proteins), but include some viral glycoproteins. They may help viruses avoid the host immune system. Glycoproteins on the surface of the envelope serve to identify and bind to receptor sites on the host's membrane. The viral envelope then fuses with the host's membrane, allowing the capsid and viral genome to enter and infect the host.

This finding shows that COVID-19 has something to do with the CCP’s military institute - Institute of Military Medicine Nanjing Command.

Nature at work. You notice we don't get the Hong Kong flu anymore... Right?

On the other hand, a lab-created, unnatural, chimeric, human-infecting virus announced by this article : https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3985 is named SHC014-MA15. Both have the SHC014.
Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone.
we built a chimeric virus encoding a novel, zoonotic CoV spike protein—from the RsSHC014-CoV sequence that was isolated from Chinese horseshoe bats1—in the context of the SARS-CoV mouse-adapted backbone.
we hereafter refer to the chimeric CoV as SHC014-MA15
To make it easier to understand : a natural coronavirus with SHC014 does not infect humans, but the researchers combined the SHC014 with something else and created SHC014-MA15, which can infect humans efficiently.
