The media continue to push the narrative that any suggestion that COVID-19 might not be naturally occurring is merely a conspiracy theory aimed at blaming China for the current pandemic. They have stuck with this narrative despite growing evidence that it was engineered in a lab in Wuhan, in part…
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), some Western scientists sympathetic to China and the obsequious media have expended enormous efforts to convince the public that the COVID-19 pandemic is a naturally-occurring outbreak of disease. Included in that effort are restrictions imposed by the Chinese government on academic research related to the origins of…
China’s own scientists have provided evidence that COVID-19 is man-made During a March 15, 2020 interview, beginning at the 27:40 time point, Dr Ralph Baric, noted coronavirus scientist at the University of North Carolina, said the following when asked about the animal origin of the human COVID-19 pandemic: “As far as I…
A thorough, objective investigation of the true origin of COVID-19 is long overdue. The narrative promoted by China as to the origin of COVID-19 and the one quickly adopted by the scientific establishment and the media has always been that COVID-19, while circulating in a bat population, mutated, acquiring the…
Anyone who, at this juncture, states categorically that COVID-19 is a naturally-occurring disease that mutated in animal populations, acquiring the ability to infect humans and did so via bats in the Wuhan Seafood Market, has not read or does not understand the scientific literature. Yes, coronaviruses have previously “jumped” from…
While the media eagerly picked up on a quote this past week from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) that while the virus did in fact originate in China, “The Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not man-made or…
A recently published scientific article states: “Due to the broad-spectrum of research conducted over almost 20 years on bat SARS-CoV [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses] justified by their potential to spill over from animal to human, a possible synthetic origin by laboratory engineering of SARS-CoV-2 [COVID-19] is a reasonable hypothesis.” China…
On April 30, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued the following US Intelligence Community statement: “The entire Intelligence Community has been consistently providing critical support to US policymakers and those responding to the COVID-19 virus, which originated in China. The Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus…
Questions remain as to whether this COVID-19 pandemic that we are living through is the result of malevolent actions by the Chinese government, i.e., some form of biological warfare. Or is it just the result of careless behavior in the Wuhan Institute of Virology or another nearby lab that accidentally…
There is no doubt that COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus, but from where did it originate? No one knows. There have been hints. Yet, now, for some reason, some of those hints have disappeared from the debate. In the February 3, 2020 article in the prestigious journal Nature, scientists at…
The coronavirus, COVID-19, which originated in China and is responsible for the global pandemic, has a unique structural feature that none of its closest viral relatives yet identified have, a furin polybasic cleavage site. Cleavage sites similar to that found in COVID-19 are present in some naturally-occurring coronaviruses, but in…
Avian (bird) influenza virus and avian infectious bronchitis virus are coronaviruses, which elicit similar symptoms, are major pathogens long-circulating in Chinese poultry populations and have resulted in great economic losses for China due to respiratory disease and reduced egg production. Avian influenza viruses are capable of infecting humans and multiple outbreaks have occurred in…
