Covid-19 "genetically engineered to target humans"

[Aunt Antifa]

Such confidence you have. I thought it was Biden that Xi was favoring. Is that the way he thanks his water boy.

Trump was the guy mouthing Xi’s words to the public while telling Bob Woodward how dangerous it really is. Trump chose Xi’s words when speaking to us.

No investigation could ignore that. No way.

 

[Lord Tammerlain]

Dealing with unintended consequences of the one child policy?

It does tend to take out the least profitable members of society too, so that could be it.

Coulda been funded by some libertarian backer to get rid of "useless eaters".

Why would China go through extreme measures to contain the virus, in just Hubei and Wuhan if the plan was to kill all the old people. Hubei and Wuhan has about 60 million people out of 1.4 billion. That would not exactly show they went along with the plan

You’re giving the Dems a tactic for their next impeachment effort after the election. Instead of colluding with the Russians Trump colluded with Xi to kill 200,000+ Americans. Better start writing your letters to your democratic leaders so they can get right on it.

Their missile capability is downright frightening. They are beyond a doubt, the biggest military threat to us.

Their missile capacity is not that frightening

They use missiles in place of bombers and strike fighters. As for nukes, they are reported to have approx 400. Currently China would be very hard pressed to take over Taiwan. Attacking the US is out of the question, they could win a limited war within 1000 km of China's boarder but that is it.

Steve Bannon Is Behind Bogus Study That China Created COVID

Ah! That confirms why Dr. Li-Meng Yan is the only "named" person associated with this "study". Thanks!

Not only that, but according to Twitter Suspends Account of Chinese Virologist Who Claimed Coronavirus Was Made in a Lab

It claimed to contain "genomic, structural, medical, and literature evidence" about how COVID-19 could be a lab project created by using bat coronaviruses as a template, but in reality appeared to have little scientific evidence, and no new information.

The claims in the paper were rejected by the wider scientific community. "[The] report cannot be given any credibility in its current form," Andrew Preston, who is an expert in microbial pathogenesis at the U.K.'s University of Bath, told Newsweek.

In a statement to ITV last week, a spokesperson for the University of Hong Kong, where Dr. Yan said she worked, stated: Dr. Yan's statement does not accord with the key facts as we understand them. They have no scientific basis but resemble hearsay."

In other words, this is following the leaked memo from the RNC where it said to blame China for covid 19. It is an attempt to distract from the fact that the Trump administration's incompetency about Covid 19 cost 10's of thousands of american lives that could have been saved.

The fact of having Steve Bannon links to Dr Yan does explain why she appeared on Hannity though.

 

[RAMOSS]

Here is some background about some of the other people listed on that paper

From FACT CHECK: COVID-19 Whistleblower Li-Meng Yan Releases Paper With Other Scientists 'Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification' | Tech Times

ccording to a Newsweek report, the paper was entitled "Unusual Features of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification Rather Than Natural Evolution and Delineation of Its Probable Synthetic Route" and has been published on pre-print website Zenodo.

The paper was authored by Yan, who became famous overnight due to her strong claims after fleeing China to come to the US.

Yan was accompanied by three researchers affiliated with the Rule of Law of Society, which is not particularly known for working on infectious diseases.

Moreover, it appears as though the Society was founded by a former POTUS adviser that was recently charged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for fraud, along with Guo Wengui, a Chinese businessman who fled China back in 2014 due to bribery charges and more.

With that, many are skeptical about the legitimacy of the paper.

- Up until now virtually all scientific reports on the subject reject human engineering of the virus.
- Evidence strongly suggest the opposite of your claim.
- 1 Person to make this claim is, in part due to the above, not a reason yet to investigate this any further. I am of course referring to claims by people who know what they are talking about and not people like the Trumpet....
- Regardless whether this is true or not; of course she would have to flee China for this. (Hong Kong is now China. Their is no freedom in Hong Kong anymore.)
- The timing is very suspicious to say the least.
- Her comments are also being contested.
- This was reported by FOX. That by itself, in this context, is suspicious.
- She is very very young. Now bright people have made discoveries on a young age before, but the likelihood for this to happen is rather small.

If more reports surface....

Until that day, this is only convincing to people who want to hear and believe this. Like The Trumpet.

At the beginning of the pandemic, some scientists immediately reported that the virus must be natural. They had no scientific proof of that, it was just their opinion. Since then other scientists have said it could have been modified in a lab.

Gain of function research on bat coronaviruses had been going on for several years, even though it was known that a lab accident could cause a pandemic. It was banned for a couple of years in the US, but started back up in 2017.

Fauci has been an advocate for this research.

We have no reason to trust the official stories.

 

[Good4Nothin]

The COVID-19 is really not surprising. It was almost expected. Just looking at viruses of the past 20 years.
1999 West Nile Virus
2003 SARS-CoV
2006 Mumps
2009 H1N1 Virus (Swine Flu)
2012 MERS-CoV
2014 Ebola
2016 Zika Virus

One of the least mentioned reason is forest deforestation. Forest land is destroyed to create residential areas. This causes wild animals to be in closer contact with cities. These wild animals have encounters with domestic animals and you have viruses jumping species to species and eventually to humans.

We are probably due for the next virus sometime in 2022. Doubtful it would be created in a lab unless they could also develop a vaccine with it. Otherwise our world has become so small that releasing a virus to target some people is akin to peeing in your own swimming pool.

Accidents are very common in this kind of lab. That is why the research to make bat coronaviruses able to infect humans was banned for a couple of years in the US. But started back up in 2017.

And the Chinese government cares even less about people than the US government.

Maybe it was retaliation for Trump’s tariffs.

If true, the follow up retaliation should be the annihilation of China.

 

[Overitall]

If true, the follow up retaliation should be the annihilation of China.

China can afford to lose a few million of their citizens. Not much of a sacrifice if they achieve their objectives.

Covid-19 "genetically engineered to target humans"---Li-Meng Yan and her team of researchers published a 26-page document laying out how Covid-19 could have been developed artificially in Chinese labs.



Okay, so suppose this is true, what's the motivation for the Chinese military to have unleashed a demon?
What specific humans were they trying to target? Or were they targeting all humans, and their own countryman were simply collateral damage?

Li-Meng Yan report | Covid-19 "genetically engineered to target humans" - AS.com

From your article:

Both China and the World Health Organization (WHO) have debunked Dr Yan's theories that the novel coronavirus did not originate in nature.

Separately, a report in Live Science at the outset of the pandemic in March said the synthetic development theory could be "put to bed," citing a research paper published in Nature Medicine that stated the novel coronavirus had mutated in such a way that it would be impossible to engineer it in a lab.

Ah well, at least we're not talking about the fact that Trump lied about it, and tens of thousands of people died needlessly as a result. Gotta keep noticing the silver linings, amirite?

:lamo Wow, that escalated quickly... Simmer down over there, this is just another dud, debunked long ago. But they made ya click...

And don't forget HIV. It appeared more than 20 years ago but it has to be a contender for most deadly virus.
I've been thinking along the lines you bring up here about deforestation in the Amazon, that something that hasn't seen the sunlight for centuries might be exposed. Also about the permafrost melting in the arctic. They're finding lots more mammoth remains in Siberia, for example, and viruses can be amazingly resilient.

Bio weapons designers would probably not create something that they couldn't control at all.

The best source you have for your conspiracy "theory" is a sports/tabloid site? :lol:

Get another source, Trix.

They also would use something short lived. I could see the scenario where a sample from the lab escaped accidentally, but there isn't any evidence of that.

:lamo Why do that, when she can find a perfectly good rag that will support Trump's need to find an enemy to blame this all on, so people look somewhere (anywhere!!!) other than the guy responsible for the well being of the country?

Such is the credibility of the Trump supporter in the fall of 2020.

It's not true. She has been publicized and a Critic of China's government who will say whatever it takes to discredit them.

Of course China and the WHO said it didn't come from a lab. And those scientists at the outset were just stating their opinion, possibly politically motivated.

 

[Good4Nothin]

Do you think China would let us know about the evidence if they had it?

 

[Good4Nothin]

This preprint study by Yan et al. (2020) does not have any credibility at all, according to British experts. It can be downloaded from the link above. Genetically engineering SARS-CoV-2, using bat coronaviruses ZC45 and/or ZXC21 as a template, is in the realm of science fiction.

It is a FACT that gain-of-function research was being done, in the US and China, to make bat coronaviruses able to infect humans.

That is NOT science fiction!

 

[OlNate]

Of course China and the WHO said it didn't come from a lab. And those scientists at the outset were just stating their opinion, possibly politically motivated.

I could see "of course China", but "of course WHO"? You gotta be some kind of weird anti-vaxxer to believe that nonsense. But I could be wrong...what motivation would WHO have to cover up an aggressive effort on China's part to trigger a global pandemic?
