(1) Coronavirus was developed in a lab; was it planted deliberately, or
released accidentally?
by Peter Myers, March 12, 2020
Larry Romanoff, writing at Global Research, says Coronavirus is a US
weapon against China.
Michel Chossudovsky, editor at Global Research, claims that Coronavirus
was engineered by "Big Pharma" and "Big Money" - targeting China. He
dismissed the pandemic as "fake".
On the contrary, the serious nature of this disase is described in item
11, the case of a healthy 25-year old British man working in Wuhan.
Whereas China's authoritarian approach has suppressed transmission of
the virus, the West's libertarian approach has facilitated its spread.
In 6 months time, the West will likely be a disaster zone, while China
will have largely recovered. This would reverse Chossudovsky's scenario.
I can't believe that anyone would deliberately plant 2019-nCoV, because
it is would devastate both friend and foe. It could lead to a worldwide
depression, and (in the longer run) world war.
The war angle is one reason I take claims of deliberate planting so
seriously.
Rather, I have put the case that the virus was released accidentally.:
This would mean that it was developed in Wuhan Institute of Virology
(WIV). All such P4 labs (BSL-4 labs) develop both weapons and vaccines,
the vaccines being a protection against the weapon.
WIV would have many workers, not only virologists but also cleaners and
people who look after animals (they do experiments on animals). Most
likely, one of these workers was infected by the Coronavirus, and
unintentionally took it outside. After a few contacts, it reached the
nearby Seafood Market, which is a local gathering-spot. From there it
disseminated in Wuhan.
There's no way Xi or other leaders in Beijing knew exactly what was
going on in that lab. And scientists at the University of North Carolina
share responsibility for deveoping the virus.
(2) PNAC & Chinese General advocated for Biological Weapons
Anthony Hall, in his paper Who or What started the Wuhan coronavirus
(March 02, 2020), quotes PNAC's advocacy of biological weapons, and also
notes that Epoch Times reported China's Defense Minister Chi Haotian
giving speeches advocating such weapons.
Chi's 2003 speech advocating Lebensraum and world domination is at
Chi's 2005 (more detailed) speech is at
China lobbyists deny the veracity of these speeches. But they happily
accuse the CIA of many atrocious crimes. I accuse the CIA of the JFK
assassination, Mossad of 9/11, and China of having plans for world
domination.
I'm a China-realist, not not a China-basher. I give China credit for
stopping the spread of Coroanvirus, whereas it is running rampant in the
laissez-faire West.
Similarly I give the Soviet Union credit for having public ownership and
full-employment, but I note its totalitarianism as a downside.
(3) Philip Giraldi asks if Coronavirus was made in USA, or China, or Israel
Who Made Coronavirus? Was It the U.S., Israel or China Itself?
Philip Giraldi
March 5, 2020
Scientists at Israel’s Galilee Research Institute are now claiming that
they will have a vaccine against coronavirus in a few weeks which will
be ready for distribution and use within 90 days. ... If one even
considers it possible that the United States had a hand in creating the
coronavirus at what remains of its once extensive biological weapons
research center in Ft Detrick Maryland, it is very likely that Israel
was a partner in the project. Helping to develop the virus would also
explain how Israeli scientists have been able to claim success at
creating a vaccine so quickly, possibly because the virus and a
treatment for it were developed simultaneously. ==
Israeli scientists: 'In a few weeks, we will have coronavirus vaccine'
Once the vaccine is developed, it will take at least 90 days to complete
the regulatory process and potentially more to enter the marketplace.

China’s Coronavirus: A Shocking Update. Did The Virus Originate in the US?
Japan, China and Taiwan Reports on the Origin of the Virus
By Larry Romanoff
Romanoff denies the 1989 Beijing Massacre, and rejects any Chinese role
in developing the virus. He makes no mention of Zhengli Shi and Xingyi
Ge - virologists from Wuhan Institute of Virology, who developed such
viruses in cooperation with University of North Carolina. Zhengli Shi
(Shi Zhengli) is Director of the P4 lab (BSL-4 lab) at Wuhan Institute
of Virology.
The connection is made clear at http://mailstar.net/coronavirus.html,
but Romanoff mentions none of it.
On Iran, Romanoff writes,
"Neither Iran nor Italy were included in the above tests, but both
countries have now deciphered the locally prevalent genome and have
declared them of different varieties from those in China, which means
they did not originate in China but were of necessity introduced from
another source."
The strains of the virus in Italy and Iran are different from those in
China. Most people say that the virus mutated:
Coronavirus has Mutated, Iran attacked by a Different Strain from Wuhan
Posted by EU Times on Feb 26th, 2020
Coronavirus: Italian strain isolated at Sacco hospital
27 February 2020
But Romanoff says that those different viruses were PLANTED in each
place by the CIA.
He was able to get away with such statements a few weeks ago, when the
virus was killing only Chinese. But now that the virus is spreading in
Europe and the USA, devastating the economy and likely to kill millions,
the claim that it was deliberately PLANTED looks a bit thin. Global
Research risks losing its credibility unless it allows more diverse opinion.
A similar line to Romanoff's is taken by Peter Koenig, writing at NEO
and also at Global Research. But once the virus devastates the West,
such authors may be less credible:

COVID-19 Coronavirus "Fake" Pandemic: Timeline and Analysis
By Prof Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research, March 08, 2020
Chossudovsky says that the Wuhan Sport Military World Games (Oct. 18-27,
2019), in which 200 American military personnel participated, may have
been an opportunity to PLANT the virus.
An exercise simulating a pandemic, called Event 201, was held in Oct.
2019 by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in conjunction
with the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation.
In the simulation, the pandemic outbreak killed 65 million people.
Chossudovsky alleges that the simulation has now gone real.
But if Coronavirus kills mainly old people, and leaves children
unharmed, it is not going to reduce the birth rate much.
Chossudovsky states, "These figures confirm that we are not facing a
global health emergency, that the probability of infection is low."
That is no longer accepted.
Chossudovsky writes, "What is at stake is the alliance of "Big Pharma"
and "Big Money", with the endorsement of the Trump Administration."
However, the CDC and the Trump Administration are not handling the
pandemic very well. It looks like exploding, such that in 6 months time,
the USA will be a disaster zone, while China has largely recovered. This
would cause a loss of confidence in Capitalism, and also cause Trump to
lose the election. These outcomes would undermine Chossudovsky's case.

Strategic Partnership With China Lies at Root of Iran's Coronavirus Outbreak
Date : 11/03/2020 @ 16:27

By Benoit Faucon, Sune Engel Rasmussen and Jeremy Page
Iranian officials trace the origins of the country's coronavirus
epidemic to the holy city of Qom, home to dozens of seminaries and
religious shrines -- but also a number of Chinese-backed infrastructure
projects built by scores of workers and technicians from China.
This critical link to China, centered in Qom, has helped keep Iran's
economy alive in the face of American sanctions. And it is now being
stress-tested by the coronavirus. The exact route of the virus is
unclear. But Iran's strategic partnership with Beijing has created a
constellation of potential contacts that helped unleash the illness,
called Covid-19.
"China has been the trading partner of last resort but, in this case, it
has turned into a very toxic bomb," said Sanam Vakil, deputy Middle East
director at Chatham House, a think tank in London.
China Railway Engineering Corp. is building a $2.7 billion high-speed
rail line through Qom. Chinese technicians have been helping refurbish a
nuclear-power plant nearby. There are also Chinese religious students
studying at Qom's seminaries.
Iranian health officials have said the source of the outbreak is likely
either Chinese workers in Qom or an Iranian businessman from Qom who
travelled to China. Iranian officials haven't identified the businessman
by name but say he travelled from China to Qom through an indirect
flight. ...

Coronavirus Part V: The Epic Failure at The Centers For Disease Control

by Dr. Brownstein
When the coronavirus epidemic started late last year in China, the World
Health Organization (WHO), with help from German researchers, quickly
developed a test for coronavirus. This is the test used by every other
country except…the US. "The CDC insisted that only its test–and not the
one developed by the WHO, for example–could be used on suspected cases,
and even CDC tests would [only} be administered under limited
circumstances."

Did China Close First Lab To Sequence Covid-19 Out Of Fear It Would Lose
Bat Soup Narrative?'
by Tyler Durden
Sat, 02/29/2020 - 16:40
The Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center & School of Public Health at
Fudan University was the first lab in the world to sequence the whole
genome of the virus on Jan 11. Then, the Shanghai Health Commission, one
day later, on Jan 12, shuttered the lab for "rectification."
"The center was not given any specific reasons why the laboratory was
closed for rectification. [We have submitted] four reports [asking for
permission] to reopen, but we have not received any replies," a source
from the lab told the South China Morning Post (SCMP).
The source said it wasn't clear if the closure of the Level 3 biosafety
facility was a direct result of the lab publishing virus sequence data
on virological.org, an open-access virus discussion forum, and GenBank,
an open-access data repository.
The release of the genome data on the public domain allowed researchers
to develop a new test kit to diagnose the virus. By Feb 3, the lab's
Professor Zhang Yongzhen, who was responsible for the sequencing, found
his data published in Nature.
"It was not about any individual's achievements. It's about having
biological test kits ready in the face of a previously unknown
respiratory disease, especially when a large part of the population
[was] moving [across the country] during the Lunar New Year holidays,"
said the source.
The source warned that the closure of the lab slowed down scientists and
their research when they should have been developing new tools and
vaccines to manage the virus outbreak, but for some reason, and it's
still unknown, the government immediately closed the lab after the
genome sequence was published in the public domain. ...

One of the biggest military exercises in Europe since the end of the
Cold War has been hampered by the quarantining of the most senior US
army officer in Europe and the commander of German land forces in a
coronavirus alert.
General Christopher Cavoli, commander of US Army Europe, and General
Alfons Mais, inspector of the German army, each took part in a
conference at the US regional headquarters in Wiesbaden last week where
a person attending was later confirmed to have been infected, Germany’s
armed forces said.
The removal of the two soldiers and several members of General Cavoli’s
staff, who are also self-isolating as a precaution, came as the US-led

Connor Reed, 25, an expat teacher from North Wales, lives and works in
Wuhan In November, he became the first British man to catch the deadly
coronavirus Here he explains how he beat the illness that is sweeping
across the globe
By CONNOR REED FOR THE DAILY MAIL
PUBLISHED: 09:08 AEDT, 5 March 2020 | UPDATED: 06:07 AEDT, 6 March 2020
Connor Reed, a 25-year-old expat from Llandudno in North Wales, has
worked in a school in Wuhan, China, for almost a year. In November he
became the first British man to catch the coronavirus. From coughs and
aches to burning up and spending the night in hospital, here's how he
beat the illness that is sweeping the globe.
Day 1 — Monday November 25: I have a cold. I'm sneezing and my eyes are
a bit bleary. It isn't bad enough to keep me off work. I arrived in this
country to teach English as a foreign language — but now I'm a manager
at a school in Wuhan, the city in central China where I have lived for
the past seven months.
I speak Mandarin well, and the job is interesting. My cold shouldn't be
very contagious, so I have no qualms about going to work. And I live
alone, so I'm not likely to give it to anyone. There hasn't been
anything in the news here about viruses. I have no cause for concern.
It's just a sniffle.
Day 2: I have a sore throat. Remembering what my mum used to do when I
was a child, I mix myself a mug of honey in hot water. It does the trick.
Day 3: I don't smoke and I hardly ever drink. But it's important to me
to get over this cold quickly, so that I can stay healthy for work. For
medicinal purposes only, I put a splash of whisky in my honey drink. I
think it's called a 'hot toddy'.
Day 4: I slept like a baby last night. Chinese whisky is evidently a
cure for all known ailments. I have another hot toddy in the evening.
Day 5: I'm over my cold. It really wasn't anything.
Day 7: I spoke too soon. I feel dreadful. This is no longer just a cold.
I ache all over, my head is thumping, my eyes are burning, my throat is
constricted. The cold has travelled down to my chest and I have a
hacking cough.
This is flu, and it's going to take more than a mug of hot honey, with
or without the magic whisky ingredient, to make me feel better.
The symptoms hit me this afternoon like a train and, unless there's an
overnight miracle, I will not be going to work tomorrow. It's not just
that I feel so ill — I really don't want to give this flu to any of my
colleagues.
Day 8: I won't be in work today. I've warned them I'll probably be off
all week. Even my bones are aching. It's hard to imagine I'm going to
get over this soon.
Even getting out of bed hurts. I am propped up on pillows, watching TV
and trying not to cough too much because it is painful.
Day 9: Even the kitten hanging around my apartment seems to be feeling
under the weather. It isn't its usual lively self, and when I put down
food it doesn't want to eat. I don't blame it – I've lost my appetite too.
Day 10: I'm still running a temperature. I've finished the
quarter-bottle of whisky, and I don't feel well enough to go out and get
any more. It doesn't matter: I don't think hot toddies were making much
difference.
Day 11: Suddenly, I'm feeling better, physically at least. The flu has
lifted. But the poor kitten has died. I don't know whether it had what
I've got, or whether cats can even get human flu. I feel miserable.
Day 12: I've had a relapse. Just as I thought the flu was getting
better, it has come back with a vengeance. My breathing is laboured.
Just getting up and going to the bathroom leaves me panting and
exhausted. I'm sweating, burning up, dizzy and shivering. The television
is on but I can't make sense of it. This is a nightmare.
By the afternoon, I feel like I am suffocating. I have never been this
ill in my life. I can't take more than sips of air and, when I breathe
out, my lungs sound like a paper bag being crumpled up. This isn't
right. I need to see a doctor. But if I call the emergency services,
I'll have to pay for the ambulance call-out myself. That's going to cost
a fortune. I'm ill, but I don't think I'm dying — am I?
Surely I can survive a taxi journey. I decide to go to Zhongnan
University Hospital because there are plenty of foreign doctors there,
studying. It isn't rational but, in my feverish state, I want to see a
British doctor. My Mandarin is pretty good, so I have no language
problem when I call the taxi. It's a 20-minute ride. As soon as I get
there, a doctor diagnoses pneumonia. So that's why my lungs are making
that noise. I am sent for a battery of tests lasting six hours.
Day 13: I arrived back at my apartment late yesterday evening. The
doctor prescribed antibiotics for the pneumonia but I'm reluctant to
take them — I'm worried that my body will become resistant to the drugs
and, if I ever get really ill and need them, they won't work. I prefer
to beat this with traditional remedies if I can.
It helps, simply knowing that this is pneumonia. I'm only 25 and
generally healthy: I tell myself there's no reason for alarm. I have
some Tiger Balm. It's like Vick's vapour rub on steroids. I pour some
into a bowl of hot water and sit with a towel over my head, inhaling the
fumes. I'm going 'old school'. And I've still got the antibiotics in
reserve if I need them.
Day 14: Boil a kettle. Add Tiger Balm. Towel over head. Breathe for an
hour. Repeat.
Day 15: All the days are now blurring into one.
Day 16: I phone my mother in Australia. There was no point in calling
her before now — she'd only worry and try to jump on a plane. That
wouldn't work: it takes an age to get a visitor's visa to China. I'm
glad to hear her voice, even if I can't do much more than croak, 'Mum, I
feel so ill.'
Day 17: I am feeling slightly better, but I don't want to get my hopes
up yet. I've been here before.
Day 18: My lungs no longer sound like bundles of broken twigs.
Day 19: I am well enough to stagger out of doors to get more Tiger Balm.
My nose has cleared enough to smell what my neighbours are cooking, and
I think I might have an appetite for the first time in nearly two weeks.
Day 22: I was hoping to be back at work today but no such luck. The
pneumonia has gone — but now I ache as if I've been run over by a
steamroller. My sinuses are agony, and my eardrums feel ready to pop. I
know I shouldn't but I'm massaging my inner ear with cotton buds, trying
to take the pain away.
Day 24: Hallelujah! I think I'm better. Who knew flu could be as
horrible as that, though?
Day 36: A tip-off from a friend sends me hurrying to the shops.
Apparently, the Chinese officials are concerned about a new virus that
is taking hold in the city. There are rumours about a curfew or travel
restrictions. I know what this will mean — panic buying in the shops. I
need to stock up on essentials before everyone else does.
Day 37: The rumours were right. Everyone is being told to stay indoors.
From what I've heard, the virus is like a nasty dose of flu that can
cause pneumonia. Well, that sounds familiar.
Day 52: A notification from the hospital informs me that I was infected
with the Wuhan coronavirus. I suppose I should be pleased that I can't
catch it again — I'm immune now.
However, I must still wear my face mask like everyone else if I leave
the apartment, or risk arrest. The Chinese authorities are being very
thorough about trying to contain the virus.
Day 67: The whole world has now heard about coronavirus. I've told a few
friends about it, via Facebook, and somehow the news got out to the media.
My local paper back in Llandudno, North Wales, has been in touch with
me. Maybe I caught the coronavirus at the fish market.
It's a great place to get food on a budget, a part of the real Wuhan
that ordinary Chinese people use every day, and I regularly do my
shopping there.
Since the outbreak became international news, I've seen hysterical
reports (especially in the U.S. media) that exotic meats such as bat and
even koala are on sale at the fish market. I've never seen that.
The only slightly weird sight I've seen is the whole pig and lamb
carcasses for sale, with their heads on.
Day 72 — Tuesday, February 4: It seems the newspapers think it's
terrific that I tried to cure myself with hot toddies.
I attempt to explain that I had no idea at the time what was wrong with
me — but that isn't what they want to hear.
The headline in the New York Post says, 'UK teacher claims he beat
coronavirus with hot whisky and honey.'
I wish it had been that easy.
