It is my belief that the earliest spread of SARS-CoV-2 occurred not in Wuhan, but in the United States, and there is evidence the earliest cases occurred in proximity to the USAMRIID in Fort Detrick. 1/
Yes, the article was published in 2021. But read on...
USAMRIID was shut down by the CDC in 2019. The details of the shutdown involved non-human primates and an un-named "select agent" which bore risks of respiratory infection. 2/
So, the question is was USAMRIID already researching SARS-CoV-2 in 2019, and testing on non-human primates? They won't tell us. That is a matter of National Security they say.
There is growing evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was circulating in the public much earlier than believed. 3/
Circulating in the U.S., in Italy, and perhaps Spain and France, too.
Here a study shows the earliest SARS-CoV-2 strains in Italy were NOT from China. 4/
The Lombardy region of Italy, where this sampling took place, is intimately connected to Wuhan through trade and industry. Large numbers of Chinese live and work in Lombardy, and travel to and from China by way of Wuhan.
In July 2019 illnesses break out in Northern Virginia. The story broke on July 11. From the Greenspring long term care facility 54 people were sickened, 18 were hospitalized, and 2 died. Respiratory symptoms and pneumonia.
2/ On July 15, 2019 an update tells us that the CDC is testing for "viruses and bacteria that may cause respiratory illness".
Can anyone tell me, is it typical for the CDC to get involved in something such as this when 2 people have died? fairfaxcounty.gov/health/outbrea…
3/ The next day, we learn more have been sickened, another has died, and no results yet from CDC testing.
