An Examination of the Potential Threat of a State-Sponsored Biological Attack Against the United States

2019 Master's Thesis

This section refers to:

China’s Biological Warfare Programme: An Integrative Study with Special Reference to Biological Weapons Capabilities (2015) by Danny Shoham

PDF

The author of the Master's Thesis, Corey Pfluke wrote a summarised version of her section on China in 2020:

Biohazard: A Look at China’s Biological Capabilities and the Recent Coronavirus Outbreak

airuniversity.af.edu/Wild-Blue-Yond…
"Although assessing China’s military capabilities is notoriously difficult due to the secrecy & opacity its institutions maintain, a combination of historical records, assessments, & studies provide a view of China’s BW programme, this view is unsettling"

My thread on China's BW Program

An important Reference is a paper by Croddy (2002 )

(a little dated but with many useful references to suspected facilities)

including the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products

(WIBP..next door to the WIV BSL4 Complex in Jingxia)

Hence my tweet yesterday

Another article by Dany Shoham focusing on the Canadian-Tianjin Angle:

China's Biological Warfare Programme and the Curious Case of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu (2019)

idsa.in/cbwmagazine/ch…

x.com/BillyBostickso…
The Radosavljevic–Belojevic method for outbreak scoring & differentiation shows that the official assumption of its natural origin is questionable and highlights the probability that the pathogen may have been "accidentally" introduced to humans

researchgate.net/publication/35…
“The genomic origin of the strain that infected patient zero was a Chinese bat virus that underwent extensive pre-adaptation to humans, including continual transmissibility..
“The open question is how, where, and when such exceptional genomic pre-adaptation took place” Image
One possibility is that a wild-type virus was 1st propagated repeatedly in human tissue cultures & the resulting spontaneously upgraded virus was then used to experimentally infect monkeys or ferrets—one of which then accidentally infected staff in the lab
jns.org/opinion/where-…
An interesting observation

"The WIV has long been routinely supplied with rhesus monkeys from the Macaque Breeding Base in Suizhou City"

You may be wondering why this thread has diverged into Chinese monkey breeding minutia...

Reason being that any putative Chinese BW program would require monkeys for experiments, as was the case in USA & UK (Operation Cauldron)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation…

bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
Operation Cauldron Film:

The trials were conducted by scientists from Porton Down in Wiltshire. About 3,500 monkeys and guinea pigs were killed after exposure to "plague bombs"

More Chinese Monkey Research and Breeding Programs to come tomorrow
5 species of primates are used in China for biomedical research
2 species, crab-eating macaque & common marmoset are alien
3 species, pigtail, stumptail & rhesus macaques, are indigenous
Those used for biomedical research are crab-eating & rhesus macaques

The following information on monkey breeding centres in China is from 2001.

There have been some changes...

For example, Hubei Topgene Biotechnology, the new supplier to WIV and WIBP was not listed 20 years ago. Image

China has become the Mecca for those deluded Chinese & Foreign Researchers keen to abuse monkeys on the altar of Science.

Please Note

This thread is an investigation of the breeding centres, laboratory research evidence, logistics and locations of possible Biological Warfare research in China using non human primates.

It may lead nowhere or it might lead somewhere, that remains to be determined. Image

GUESS WHO SAID THIS?

"During shooting in Thailand, I was shocked by Daszak’s fast & loose with facts, his refusal to acknowledge his conflict of interest,& his denial of his gain-of-function res in collaboration with Wuhan lab"
You guessed right, i hope?

@janeqiuchina

She continued:

"I was equally shocked by Daszak’s constant self-promotion and how effective it was." Image
@janeqiuchina About the film:

"Blame: Bats, Politics & a Planet Out of Balance"

"Christian Frei seemed entranced by hero worshipping, apparently having lost all sense of objectivity & critical judgment. I felt strongly then, as I do now, that the film was a blatant piece of propaganda" Image

Sebastian Castellio (1551)

To seek truth & to utter what one believes to be true can never be a crime. No one must be forced to accept a conviction

Conviction is free

One of the first proponents of religious toleration, freedom of conscience & thought

gospeltruth.net/zweig/heresy_c…Image
One of the great forgotten men of the Reformation.

One of the greatest minds in Geneva, a brilliant scholar and thinker.

Sebastian Castellio published what has been called "the first manifesto in favor of toleration"

web.archive.org/web/2005030616…
The Plague in Geneva

At the same time, he was the only minister in Geneva during Calvin’s day to risk his life to assist the sick during the Black Plague.

The friend of Truth obeys not the multitude, but the Truth.”

Bloody Hell, it's worse than even I imagined in my darkest nightmares about #scamdemia.

Time to spend some of this tax money on local electronics, biological, ecological, IT, optical, chemistry, engineering & physics labs run by local amateurs for the benefit of our communities?
DRASTIC MEASURES NEEDED

Finally #scamdemia is waking up to the putrid stench of education for profit, ruined lives and academic credential inflation?

Short 🧵on Primer & PCR Test issues (Pangolin Covs)

1. The key issue with pangolins and Pcovs is that:

It was discovered that the standard PCR tests used in 2020, and often still used, failed to actually detect many of the betacoronaviruses generously hosted by the pangolins.
2. Unless

The samples are retested with bespoke primers & more accurate PCR tests available now,

We will not know exactly whIch Pangolin (or bat) coronaviruses were hosted by Pangolins at WIV & elsewhere pre-pandemic.

see Nga et al., 2022 for details

frontiersin.org/journals/publi…Image
3. It is unlikely that anyone will do that now😒

However, "they" (I will name who they are later) should, and perhaps in the future, may retest the stored samples at WIV, IPB, SCAU AND GIABR, to clarify the question of which coronaviruses were present in their pangolin samples.

2. May have been for research and commercial purposes, but they were caught bang to rights.

"LIU initially stated that he did not know what the materials were and that someone must have put them into his bag" Image
3. When asked why someone would put them into his bag, LIU stated that he did not know, and that maybe he had accidentally put the materials there. After further questioning, LIU acknowledged that the materials were different strains of the pathogen Fusarium graminearum
