The COVID-19 Origin Story
On January 5, 2020, the World Health Organization reported that, on the last day of 2019, it had been informed of “cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology” in the city of Wuhan in central China.
Almost immediately, a rumor began to circulate that they were caused by a genetically engineered virus that came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, China’s only biosafety-level 4 laboratory.
The source of this rumor was the U.S. government.
Specifically, a 01/09/20, Radio Free Asia report, “Experts Cast Doubts on Chinese Official Claims Around 'New' Wuhan Coronavirus,” published the same day China announced that the cause of the mysterious pneumonia outbreak was a new SARS-like coronavirus. thelastamericanvagabond.com/bats-gene-edit…
01/23/20: Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Shi Zhengli announced the discovery RaTG13, 96% identical to SARS-CoV-2 (it remains its closest known relative). organicconsumers.org/blog/shi-zheng…
The rumor that the new coronavirus was a genetically engineered product of the Wuhan Institute of Virology was given additional details in “Logistical and technical analysis of the origins of the Wuhan Coronavirus (2019-nCoV),” published January 31, 2020 archive.is/dGU40#selectio…
Again, the source was linked to the U.S. government:
“a retired government scientist with 30 years of experience in genomic sequencing and analysis who helped design several ubiquitous bioinformatic software tools, and a retired NSA counterterrorism analyst.”
This was the first report to mention Shi Zhengli’s collaboration with American scientist Ralph Baric. They caused a stir in 2015, when they successfully created a chimeric, SARS-like virus...
...“by altering the viral gene of a Chinese bat coronavirus that codes for the spikes on the surface of viruses which allow them to enter into hosts, making the bio-engineered virus incredibly contagious.”
On March 30, 2020, the editors of Nature Medicine placed a note on the 2015 Baric-Shi paper announcing their chimeric SARS-like virus, "A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence” nature.com/articles/nm.39…
It would have been truly damning if the virus they created in 2015, SHC015-MA15, was even more similar to SARS-CoV-2 than RaTG13.
We’ll have to take Baric and Shi’s word for it that it isn’t.
They didn’t deposit genetic sequence of SHC015-MA15 in GenBank until May 2020.
The January 31, 2020 post “Logistical and technical analysis of the origins of the Wuhan Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)” also introduced Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, by linking to 2015's “Lab-Made Coronavirus Triggers Debate,” where he was quoted
Daszak should know. He funded it.
Baric and Shi’s 2015 paper, "A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence,” named EcoHealth Alliance as a funding source via a USAID Emerging Pandemic Threats PREDICT grant. organicconsumers.org/blog/peter-sho…
Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance has an unexpected advisor for a public health non-profit: David R. Franz, former commander of Fort Detrick, the largest domestic U.S. military biological weapons research laboratory. independentsciencenews.org/health/the-lon…
Upon retiring from the military, Franz received contracts for three years, between 1999 and 2001, from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to produce microencapsulated anthrax. bizjournals.com/washington/sto…
David Franz worked on the project with Ken Alibek and Charles Bailey, a former Russian biological weapons scientist and a fellow former Fort Detrick commander. latimes.com/archives/la-xp…
Alibek and Bailey’s firm Advanced Biosystems was the prime contractor for the DARPA project, while Franz’s Southern Research Institute was a subcontractor. Bailey and Alibek filed a patent on the silicon microencapsulation technology in 2001. patents.google.com/patent/US66494…
In “Evidence for the Source of the 2001 Attack Anthrax,” Martin E. Hugh-Jones, Barbara Hatch Rosenberg and Stuart Jacobsen linked the forensic evidence from the 2001 attack anthrax to the silicon coated anthrax developed by Franz, Alibek and Bailey. omicsonline.org/evidence-for-t…
David Franz isn’t the only link between COVID-19 and the 2001 anthrax attacks, as Unlimited Hangout’s Whitney Webb chronicled in her Engineering Contagion series, published beginning April 1, 2020. unlimitedhangout.com/engineering-co…
Franz, Alibek and Bailey may have produced the attack anthrax for DARPA, but it is unlikely that they were the ones who hatched the plan to send the anthrax-filled letters through the mail to journalists and Congresspeople.
These acts were ultimately blamed on Fort Detrick scientist Bruce Ivins. As @nicholsonbaker8 wrote in “The Lab Leak Hypothesis” the motive that was pinned on Ivins after he had conveniently “committed suicide” was vaccine profits nymag.com/intelligencer/…
If vaccine profits could motivate a false-flag biological weapons attack, that motive best fits the Trump Administration’s Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Robert Kadlec. unlimitedhangout.com/2020/05/invest…
In “Head of the Hydra: The Rise of Robert Kadlec,” @_whitneywebb provides evidence that, in both the 2001 anthrax attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic, Robert Kadlec pre-positioned BioPort, now Emergent Biosolutions, to snatch lucrative vaccine contracts from the government.
Kadlec left with Trump in January 2021, but his deputy, Dr. David Christian “Chris” Hassell (yes, he’s used a few different first names in his federal government career), remains in the Biden Administration. phe.gov/newsroom/bio/P…
Like Franz and Kadlec, Hassell is a link between the 2001 anthrax attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hassell’s primary role in the 2001 anthrax attacks was in the cover-up.
Hassell was the Director of the FBI Laboratory in 2008, the year Bruce Ivins “committed suicide,” the FBI concluded he was the lone perpetrator, and the FBI officially closed its investigation. newscientist.com/article/dn1456…
Alongside Kadlec, Hassell exploited the pandemic as an excuse to dole out government money to contractors he said himself were "in trouble for shady dealings, illegal accounting and lack of accountability.” washingtonpost.com/context/read-r…
Hassell’s primary role in COVID-19 is to institutionalize the government oversight “failures” that preceded the pandemic. He chairs the secret “Potential Pandemic Pathogen Care & Oversight Committee.”
Known as P3CO, since 2017, this committee has been charged with screening federally funded gain-of-function science experiments for dual use dangers and the risk of causing catastrophic accidents.
But, with Hassell in charge of the secret P3CO committee, even after the pandemic broke and concerns of a lab origin were raised, U.S.-funded gain-of-function research just got crazier, according to Dr. Jonathan Latham's @BioSRP via @pricklyresearchindependentsciencenews.org/news/engineere…
The news implicated White House Coronavirus Taskforce Member Anthony Fauci, director of NIAID. The WIV had received funding from NIAID through a grant to EcoHealth Alliance, Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence. grantome.com/grant/NIH/R01-…
On May 4, 2020, the documentary “Plandemic: The Hidden Agenda Behind Covid-19” added to the controversy with a clip of a 2017 speech where Anthony Fauci, addressing the topic of pandemic preparedness, plandemicseries.com
On August 18, 2020, a sequel was released, “Plandemic II: Indoctornation,” that added to the evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic had been anticipated and planned for in predictive simulations like Event 201. plandemicseries.com
Plandemic II followed the money to see who stood to benefit from the reckless (or intentional) release of a pandemic virus. Bill Gates topped the list. In the 1st 6 months of the pandemic his wealth surged by 20.4 percent and $20 billion to $118 billion. inequality.org/great-divide/u…
The coronavirus pandemic brought Bill Gates closer than ever to his goal of vaccinating the world and will guarantee that his long-standing investments in vaccine companies like Pfizer, BioNTech, CureVac and Vir Biotechnology will keep his wealth growing. nytimes.com/2020/11/23/wor…
Like Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates was able to make eerily accurate predictions of COVID-19 because he had a hand in shaping the conditions that made the pandemic inevitable.
Gates funded the collection & manipulation of deadly viruses. Virus hunting is one of his passions & gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens is one of his funding priorities. He employs one of the top virus hunters, Dr. Scott F. Dowell. gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Glo…
When Anthony Fauci commissioned two gain-of-function research teams to make H5N1 bird flu more likely to start a pandemic by giving it the capacity to transmit person-to-person, Gates chipped in with grants from his foundation. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK20698…
Microsoft’s Bill Gates isn’t the only tech billionaire who’s been investing in gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens.
Google’s Eric Schmidt has too, and he actually played a much bigger role in COVID’s origin than Gates.
Eric Schmidt shaped the pandemic industrial complex by launching Predict and Prevent at Google.org in 2008 and finding a home—and hundreds of millions of dollars—for it at USAID in 2009. google.org/Predict_Preven…
Eric Schmidt is connected to the origins of COVID-19 through Google’s investments in and business relationships with Metabiota. gv.com/portfolio/
Metabiota was at the scene of the crime in 2012, in Yunnan, hunting for bat viruses with Wuhan Institute of Virology & EcoHealth Alliance, when six men exposed to bat guano ended up in a Kunming hospital with a SARS-like illness that killed three of them. usaid.gov/sites/default/…
All of the most famous bat viruses, including those used infamous gain-of-function experiments, the first bat virus known to target the human ACE2 receptor, and the bat virus that is the closest known relative of SARS-CoV-2, were found during the 2012 USAID PREDICT expeditions.
What is the significance of the 2012 Kunming SARS-like outbreak and its relationship to the origin of COVID-19?
Is it a comedy of errors where scientists, who tell funders they're predicting the next pandemic, are so inept that they accidentally cause it, making prophets of all the lab safety advocates who warned about the dangers of gain-of-function research?
Or, has the origin of COVID-19 been grafted on to this spillover event to give an intentionally released genetically engineered virus the semblance of a natural origin?
To answer these questions, we need an impartial investigation, but Eric Schmidt’s foundation is funding a COVID-origins cover-up and Google is censoring evidence of a lab release of SARS-CoV-2. takecontrol.substack.com/p/covid-commis…
To stop the next pandemic, we need a ban on virus hunting and gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens, but Eric Schmidt wants even more government money spent on even more frightening technologies and experiments. organicconsumers.org/blog/stop-arpa…
Eric Schmidt has a very powerful friend in the Biden Administration to help him accomplish this: Eric Lander, Biden’s Science Secretary. unlimitedhangout.com/2021/02/report…
Eric Lander is the director of the Broad Institute. In January 2020, a team of scientists at the Broad were asked by the Director of National Intelligence to figure out if SARS-CoV-2 was a naturally occurring pathogen or one that had been engineered in a lab.
Evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is genetically engineered is written all over its genome. Every scientist who looked at it in January 2020 saw the tell-tale signs, even scientists who would later publish papers claiming it wasn’t. usrtk.org/biohazards-blo…
So, what’s up with Eric Lander’s Broad Institute claiming that it isn’t genetically engineered?
Were they trying to hide bioengineering rather than reveal it?
“If you know how to detect bioengineering, you theoretically understand how to hide your own.” link.medium.com/jbrVYsZEsib
A Response to the Unclassified Summary of the
Intelligence Community Assessment on COVID-19 Origins
1/n
On August 27, 2021, the Intelligence Community (IC) released an unclassified summary of a 90-day Biden administration investigation into the origin of COVID-19. dni.gov/files/ODNI/doc…
2/n
3/n On whether SARS-CoV-2 was genetically engineered or if it was the result of a laboratory-associated incident, the report was inconclusive, but stated:
Evidence of genetic engineering is written all over the SARS-CoV-2’s genome.
Still, that doesn’t tell us whodunnit.
While Americans have pointed to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese have leveled accusations against Ft. Detrick. globaltimes.cn/page/202108/12…
Neither country seems interested in identifying Patient Zero to figure out how that person was infected and, consequently, how the virus was released.
Is this a joint “Chimerica” plot to cover-up the origins of a chimeric virus?
Eric Lander is a scientist and biotech entrepreneur who currently serves in President Biden’s Cabinet as his Science Advisor and the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Eric Lander is the founding director of the Broad Institute, a genetic engineering and synthetic biology outfit launched by the late Eli Broad, a billionaire philanthrocapitalist who seeded a modern-day eugenics movement based on genetic distinctions and determinism.

If our so-called “public health” authorities were serious about their mission, we’d all be eating clean, nutrient dense organic food. Instead, they serve the chemical & pharmaceutical companies, letting them poison us, drug us and rob us of our health. organicconsumers.org/news/on-public…
When we try to get away from that, they go after the alternatives we’ve created.
USDA Organic doesn’t require food to be grown in soil anymore and it isn’t doing anything about organic cheaters keeping animals in factory farms.
Meanwhile, some of the healthiest and most regenerative organic foods, and the best natural cures, have been criminalized, like raw milk and cannabis.
