Documented PROOF COVID19 is Lab Created

And now the Washington Compost joins in the Conspiracy Theory Corner.


ā€œI had never expected this kind of thing to happen in Wuhan, in central China,ā€ she was quoted as saying by Scientific American on March 11. Her studies had shown that the southern, subtropical areas of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan had the greatest risk of coronaviruses jumping to humans from animalsā€”particularly bats, a known reservoir for many viruses. If bat coronaviruses were the culprit, she recalled to Scientific American, ā€œcould they have come from our lab?ā€
She has since promised the world that it did not come from her lab, though how she would know that for sure is unknown. We donā€™t know where she is. If she is making the media rounds on Chinese television, few in the U.S. would believe her at this point.
Her research on bat coronaviruses goes back to 2015. Here is one published in 2015 in Nature magazine. There is a lot of information about this new SARS, yet the world still seems stuck in the unknowns.
The U.S. government helped build and fund Wuhan virology labs. The thinking was that it was important for China to get up to par in the global life sciences. It was already a known center of previous outbreaks. Investing there and educating them on international safety standards was just preventative medicine.
Roginā€™s reporting suggests that government officials were well aware of the research being conducted in the lab on bat coronaviruses and were worried that the lab still had sub-par safety standards.
Rogin writes that, ā€œWhat the U.S. officials learned during their visits concerned them so much that they dispatched two diplomatic cables categorized as Sensitive But Unclassified back to Washington. The cables warned about safety and management weaknesses at the WIV lab and proposed more attention and help. The first cable, which I obtained, also warns that the labā€™s work on bat coronaviruses and their potential human transmission represented a risk of a new SARS-like pandemic.ā€
Roginā€™s article probably stemmed from conversations with someone inside the State Department boiling at the rim over many weeks as the U.S. faces a ā€œstop the worldā€ moment because of this pandemic.
Over the weekend, the Chinese government banned academic and other research institutions from publishing its research on coronaviruses on their websites....
The Washington Post story today brings the possibility of a lab leak into the mainstream.
In a best case scenario, Roginā€™s reveal may ultimately get China to cooperate more in regards to the origins of the virus, setting the table for better drugs to mitigate or even cure the deadly COVID-19.
 
First document on the origins of the virus from an article published in 2015:


Ralph Baric, an infectious-disease researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, last week (November 9) published a study on his teamā€™s efforts to engineer a virus with the surface protein of the SHC014 coronavirus, found in horseshoe bats in China, and the backbone of one that causes human-like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in mice. The hybrid virus could infect human airway cells and caused disease in mice, according to the teamā€™s results, which were published in Nature Medicine.

The results demonstrate the ability of the SHC014 surface protein to bind and infect human cells, validating concerns that this virusā€”or other coronaviruses found in bat speciesā€”may be capable of making the leap to people without first evolving in an intermediate host, Nature reported. They also reignite a debate about whether that information justifies the risk of such work, known as gain-of-function research. ā€œIf the [new] virus escaped, nobody could predict the trajectory,ā€ Simon Wain-Hobson, a virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, told Nature.

In October 2013, the US government put a stop to all federal funding for gain-of-function studies, with particular concern rising about influenza, SARS, and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). ā€œNIH [National Institutes of Health] has funded such studies because they help define the fundamental nature of human-pathogen interactions, enable the assessment of the pandemic potential of emerging infectious agents, and inform public health and preparedness efforts,ā€ NIH Director Francis Collins said in a statement at the time. ā€œThese studies, however, also entail biosafety and biosecurity risks, which need to be understood better.ā€


How it went to China:
Emerging evidence strongly suggests a research collaboration between a North Carolina scientist and two Wuhan, Chinese microbiologists is the smoking gun in the creation and release of the COVID-19 superbug. A coronavirus synthesized in two laboratories on opposite sides of the world into a chimera viral monstrosity, optimized for infectious spread and with a lethality 20 times that of the common influenza.

My initial research on the COVID-19 outbreak led nearly immediately to the work of Dr. Ralph Baric. A microbiologist and chemistry professor at the University of North Carolina who had raised the eyebrows and the ire of the immunological community in 2015 by undertaking an unauthorized ā€œgain of functionā€ study for the synthesis of a supercharged SARS coronavirus. Work strictly forbidden by both the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. Both Baricā€™s hubris in ignoring a CDC/WHO contravention against gain of function studies and his clear disregard for the consequences of his activities immediately captured instinctual attention as someone whose activities bore closer inspection for potential connection to the Wuhan crisis that is now a global pathogen gaining momentum with each passing day.

All that was missing was a direct connection between Baricā€™s maverick killer coronavirus research and the BSL-4 lab in Wuhan at the (Wuhan Institute for Science and Technology) that serves as Chinaā€™s only bioweapons research facility, located in the very city where the COVID-19 pandemic began.

If only Iā€™d read the finest of fine print sooner. Buried in the minutiae of Baricā€™s published study documents, two barely credited collaborators in the gain of function coronavirus study: Doctors Xing-Yi Ge and Zhengli-Li. Microbiology and immunology researchers working at Wuhan Institute for Science and Technology, undertaking precisely the same gain of function study for a newly augmented coronavirus. A respiratory superbug with a particularly infectious surface protein array (SHC014) and the innards of a pneumococcal killer. The precursor to COVID-19....

In 2015 Dr. Baricā€™s researchers at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill raised the ire of some in the infectious disease community when they contravened a ban on particularly hazardous ā€œGain of Functionā€ laboratory studies successfully engineering a virus that combined the highly adaptable SHC014 surface protein array with common SARS, producing a potential pandemic supervirus that proved fatal across species lines, infecting human lung cells and killing mice in laboratory trials. The CDC had banned all gain of function testing on American soil in October of 2013, but eventually issued a ruling allowing North Carolina virologist, Dr. Ralph Baric to continue his work because his study had predated the ban by a matter of weeks.

The creation of such a new, non-natural risk to human health triggered bioethics backlash and criticism from around the world, with several elite virologists and infectious disease specialists slamming Dr. Baricā€™s work as potentially catastrophic, irresponsible and an unnecessary risk, given that previous studies of past outbreaks had already confirmed the near seamless transitory capacity of the SHC014 protein array in humans. Baricā€™s work also demonstrated once again the ease with which existing viral pathogens can be lab altered and optimized, both for maximum infection potential and lethality in humans.....

Dr. Baric is given his original bat virus feeder stock from the plentiful populations of Horseshoe bat colonies near Wuhan which are natural carriers of coronaviruses like the common cold. After successfully harvesting and modifying hosted common coronavirus with the SHC014 protein array, Dr. Baric negotiates a transfer of the newly augmented virus back to the Wuhan BSL-4 laboratory as compensation for parallel study. Chinese researchers immediately go to work on further modifications, including for reasons unknown, the incorporation of HIV genetic markers, creating a virus that prefers the much stronger furin catalyst protein bond cleavage site, a bond 1,000 times stronger than the ACE2 protein bond of typical SARS coronavirus. Not a mutation, but a scientific augmentation for a clearly weaponized designer pathogen.


And in early December, the world is witness to the first case of COVID-19. A coronavirus with the SHC014 protein array, known to be housed at the Wuhan BSL-4 lab, roughly 700 feet from the ā€œseafood marketā€ that was initially blamed as the site origin of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak that is now sweeping the world.

And Tucker Carlson has found local Chinese scientists who also tear down the official Chicom cover story:
Carlson went on to cite the report ā€” which he conceded that he couldnā€™t independently confirm or endorse ā€” noting that the information was at least worthy of consideration.

The report detailed the tracing of COVID-19 to the intermediate horseshoe bat ā€” a bat that they confirmed was not available at the Wuhan wet market and did not live locally. In fact, the report noted that native populations were no closer than 600 miles away from the first known cases, making a natural transmission from bat to human appear more unlikely.

The only place those particular bats existed locally was inside a research facility ā€” which was just several hundred yards from the Wuhan wet market ā€” and the paperā€™s ultimate conclusion was that the coronavirus pandemic had likely been the result of a leak from the lab: ā€œThe killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.ā€

Carlson went on to attack American media outlets for failing to cover the story, in spite of the fact that the report had been publicly available for nearly two months.




On February 6, scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of the Coronavirus. At the time, the official death toll in China from the epidemic was 564. The paper made a number of notable observations and claims that are worth knowing about. We are not endorsing any of these conclusions. We canā€™t. We havenā€™t independently confirmed them. But you should keep in mind that these findings come from Chinese scientists, who work for a university controlled by the Chinese government. Whatever else they are, these views are probably not racist anti-Chinese propaganda. Hereā€™s what the paper says:

First, the scientists confirmed what scientists around the world have said they believe: the virus mostly likely came from an animal known as the Intermediate Horseshoe Bat. There are no known colonies of this bat within 900 kilometers of Wuhan. Nor is there evidence they were sold in the Wuhan wet market, despite many claims in American media to the contrary. Interviews with almost 60 people who frequented the market confirmed there were no horseshoe bats for sale there.

So where did the virus-carrying bats come from? The paper says this, quote: ā€œWe screened the area around the market and identified two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus.ā€ Within a few hundred yards of the wet market was something called the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention. According to public reports, the center used Intermediate Horseshoe Bats for research. About seven miles away was another facility, called the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The virology institute also conducted research on Intermediate Horseshoe Bats.

South China University scientists concluded that the Coronavirus pandemic likely came from one of these two labs. They noted that a scientist at the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention had been exposed to the blood and urine of bats. They also suggested that infected tissue samples from research animals may have wound up in the Wuhan wet market. They ended their paper this way. Quote: "The killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan. Safety levels may need to be reinforced in high risk, bio-hazardous laboratories. Regulations may be taken to relocate these laboratories far away from city center and other densely populated places." End quote.

That paper has been online for nearly two months. So far, itā€™s been virtually ignored. Almost nobody in American journalism has dared to write about it. The few who have, were immediately attacked as dangerous conspiracy theorists. Instead of assessing what seemed like rational conclusions in the Chinese paper, there was a spate of American news stories and academic research designed to show that the Coronvirus absolutely could not have been engineered in a Chinese lab as a bioweapon. They sounded supremely confident of that. But do they really know it? No, they donā€™t. As a factual matter, it is impossible for western scientists to settle the question either way. So they amped up the rhetoric, hoping you wouldnā€™t notice. A post on the National Institutes of Health website, written by NIH director Francis Collins, dismisses any such speculation as quote ā€œoutrageous.ā€ Keep in mind, NIH is supposed to be keeping you safe from disease, not running political interference for hostile foreign governments. This is how theyā€™re spending their time, as Americans die in the middle of a global pandemic.

Why is our own government lying to us about this pandemic?

Soooooo, "evidence strongly suggests" now constitutes as proof........... Okie dokie........... :rofl:


I guess since Carlson said so....... :lmao:

He has a better track record than CNN MSNBC PBS .......

ROFLMAO, you think that just making shit up really does wor5k?

What post did I supposedly link that in, doofus?
 
Yaknow

The more I read about this, the more I think this is a plausible explanation.
Which explanation?

The bio research for treatments and vaccines and the target virus got out due to poor procedures?

There are a lot of theories floating around is why I ask.

I don't believe China deliberately released a bio-weapon against the US. That would be insane, and would threaten the very existence of the CPC.

But an experimental strain that was accidentally released into the general public that the CPC tried to hide? Very possible.

The CPC is an odious institution.
 
And on this thread, too, OP is not educated about the natural occurrence of integrated retroviral elements into the coronavirus genome. Suggested reading, then, is The Nidoviruses.

The results demonstrate the ability of the SHC014 surface protein to bind and infect human cells, validating concerns that this virusā€”or other coronaviruses found in bat speciesā€”may be capable of making the leap to people without first evolving in an intermediate host, Nature reported. They also reignite a debate about whether that information justifies the risk of such work, known as gain-of-function research. ā€œIf the [new] virus escaped, nobody could predict the trajectory,ā€ Simon Wain-Hobson, a virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, told Nature.

In October 2013, the US government put a stop to all federal funding for gain-of-function studies, with particular concern rising about influenza, SARS, and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). ā€œNIH [National Institutes of Health] has funded such studies because they help define the fundamental nature of human-pathogen interactions, enable the assessment of the pandemic potential of emerging infectious agents, and inform public health and preparedness efforts,ā€ NIH Director Francis Collins said in a statement at the time. ā€œThese studies, however, also entail biosafety and biosecurity risks, which need to be understood better.ā€


How it went to China:
Emerging evidence strongly suggests a research collaboration between a North Carolina scientist and two Wuhan, Chinese microbiologists is the smoking gun in the creation and release of the COVID-19 superbug. A coronavirus synthesized in two laboratories on opposite sides of the world into a chimera viral monstrosity, optimized for infectious spread and with a lethality 20 times that of the common influenza.

My initial research on the COVID-19 outbreak led nearly immediately to the work of Dr. Ralph Baric. A microbiologist and chemistry professor at the University of North Carolina who had raised the eyebrows and the ire of the immunological community in 2015 by undertaking an unauthorized ā€œgain of functionā€ study for the synthesis of a supercharged SARS coronavirus. Work strictly forbidden by both the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. Both Baricā€™s hubris in ignoring a CDC/WHO contravention against gain of function studies and his clear disregard for the consequences of his activities immediately captured instinctual attention as someone whose activities bore closer inspection for potential connection to the Wuhan crisis that is now a global pathogen gaining momentum with each passing day.

All that was missing was a direct connection between Baricā€™s maverick killer coronavirus research and the BSL-4 lab in Wuhan at the (Wuhan Institute for Science and Technology) that serves as Chinaā€™s only bioweapons research facility, located in the very city where the COVID-19 pandemic began.

If only Iā€™d read the finest of fine print sooner. Buried in the minutiae of Baricā€™s published study documents, two barely credited collaborators in the gain of function coronavirus study: Doctors Xing-Yi Ge and Zhengli-Li. Microbiology and immunology researchers working at Wuhan Institute for Science and Technology, undertaking precisely the same gain of function study for a newly augmented coronavirus. A respiratory superbug with a particularly infectious surface protein array (SHC014) and the innards of a pneumococcal killer. The precursor to COVID-19....

In 2015 Dr. Baricā€™s researchers at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill raised the ire of some in the infectious disease community when they contravened a ban on particularly hazardous ā€œGain of Functionā€ laboratory studies successfully engineering a virus that
combined the highly adaptable SHC014 surface protein array with common SARS, producing a potential pandemic supervirus that proved fatal across species lines, infecting human lung cells and killing mice in laboratory trials. The CDC had banned all gain of function testing on American soil in October of 2013, but eventually issued a ruling allowing North Carolina virologist, Dr. Ralph Baric to continue his work because his study had predated the ban by a matter of weeks.

The creation of such a new, non-natural risk to human health triggered bioethics backlash and criticism from around the world, with several elite virologists and infectious disease specialists slamming Dr. Baricā€™s work as potentially catastrophic, irresponsible and an unnecessary risk, given that previous studies of past outbreaks had already confirmed the near seamless transitory capacity of the SHC014 protein array in humans. Baricā€™s work also demonstrated once again the ease with which existing viral pathogens can be lab altered and optimized, both for maximum infection potential and lethality in humans.....

Dr. Baric is given his original bat virus feeder stock from the plentiful populations of Horseshoe bat colonies near Wuhan which are natural carriers of coronaviruses like the common cold. After successfully harvesting and modifying hosted common coronavirus with the SHC014 protein array, Dr. Baric negotiates a transfer of the newly augmented virus back to the Wuhan BSL-4 laboratory as compensation for parallel study. Chinese researchers immediately go to work on further modifications, including for reasons unknown, the incorporation of HIV genetic markers, creating a virus that prefers the much stronger furin catalyst protein bond cleavage site, a bond 1,000 times stronger than the ACE2 protein bond of typical SARS coronavirus. Not a mutation, but a scientific augmentation for a clearly weaponized designer pathogen.


And in early December, the world is witness to the first case of COVID-19. A coronavirus with the SHC014 protein array, known to be housed at the Wuhan BSL-4 lab, roughly 700 feet from the ā€œseafood marketā€ that was initially blamed as the site origin of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak that is now sweeping the world.

And Tucker Carlson has found local Chinese scientists who also tear down the official Chicom cover story:
Carlson went on to cite the report ā€” which he conceded that he couldnā€™t independently confirm or endorse ā€” noting that the information was at least worthy of consideration.

The report detailed the tracing of COVID-19 to the intermediate horseshoe bat ā€”
a bat that they confirmed was not available at the Wuhan wet market and did not live locally. In fact, the report noted that native populations were no closer than 600 miles away from the first known cases, making a natural transmission from bat to human appear more unlikely.

The only place those particular bats existed locally was inside a research facility ā€” which was just several hundred yards from the Wuhan wet market ā€” and the paperā€™s ultimate conclusion was that the coronavirus pandemic had likely been the result of a leak from the lab: ā€œThe killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.ā€

Carlson went on to attack American media outlets for failing to cover the story, in spite of the fact that the report had been publicly available for nearly two months.





On February 6, scientists from the South China University of Technology uploaded a paper on the origins of the Coronavirus. At the time, the official death toll in China from the epidemic was 564. The paper made a number of notable observations and claims that are worth knowing about. We are not endorsing any of these conclusions. We canā€™t. We havenā€™t independently confirmed them. But you should keep in mind that these findings come from Chinese scientists, who work for a university controlled by the Chinese government. Whatever else they are, these views are probably not racist anti-Chinese propaganda. Hereā€™s what the paper says:
First, the scientists confirmed what scientists around the world have said they believe: the virus mostly likely came from an animal known as the Intermediate Horseshoe Bat. There are no known colonies of this bat within 900 kilometers of Wuhan. Nor is there evidence they were sold in the Wuhan wet market, despite many claims in American media to the contrary. Interviews with almost 60 people who frequented the market confirmed there were no horseshoe bats for sale there
So where did the virus-carrying bats come from? The paper says this, quote: ā€œWe screened the area around the market and identified two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus.ā€ Within a few hundred yards of the wet market was something called the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention. According to public reports, the center used Intermediate Horseshoe Bats for research. About seven miles away was another facility, called the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The virology institute also conducted research on Intermediate Horseshoe Bats.
South China University scientists concluded that the Coronavirus pandemic likely came from one of these two labs. They noted that a scientist at the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention had been exposed to the blood and urine of bats. They also suggested that infected tissue samples from research animals may have wound up in the Wuhan wet market. They ended their paper this way. Quote: "The killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan. Safety levels may need to be reinforced in high risk, bio-hazardous laboratories. Regulations may be taken to relocate these laboratories far away from city center and other densely populated places." End quote.

That paper has been online for nearly two months. So far, itā€™s been virtually ignored. Almost nobody in American journalism has dared to write about it. The few who have, were immediately attacked as dangerous conspiracy theorists. Instead of assessing what seemed like rational conclusions in the Chinese paper, there was a spate of American news stories and academic research designed to show that the Coronvirus absolutely could not have been engineered in a Chinese lab as a bioweapon. They sounded supremely confident of that. But do they really know it? No, they donā€™t. As a factual matter, it is impossible for western scientists to settle the question either way. So they amped up the rhetoric, hoping you wouldnā€™t notice. A post on the National Institutes of Health website, written by NIH director Francis Collins, dismisses any such speculation as quote ā€œoutrageous.ā€ Keep in mind, NIH is supposed to be keeping you safe from disease, not running political interference for hostile foreign governments. This is how theyā€™re spending their time, as Americans die in the middle of a global pandemic.

Why is our own government lying to us about this pandemic?

So you are confirming the Chinese story that the Trump-45 virus was actually created in the good old USA and Tramp brought it to China with the athletes in the military games in Wuhan.
Good job!
 
From that map, the Lab is some 900 feet from the seafood market. Let's do some bad math...

First, let's say that 900 feet is roughly half a mile (it's actually slightly more).
There are approximately 200 countries in the world.
Let's be generous and say that each has ten labs studying bat-transmitted coronaviruses (the real figure would obviously be much lower).
That's 2000 labs where such a virus could leak from.
The surface area of land on Earth is roughly 100,000,000 square miles.
That's roughly 100,000,000 / 2000 square miles of area per lab = 50,000 square miles per lab.
Assuming the labs are evenly distributed and occupy circular areas as far from each other as possible, those areas have a radius of roughly 125 miles.
The probability of a random point on such a radius being within half a mile of the central lab is 1 in 250.
In other words, the probability that this isn't random is 249/250 = 99.6%.

At the more extreme end:

Let's assume that only 10% of countries are developed enough or concerned enough to have bat-transmitted coronavirus labs and that those which do/are have only 1 lab each.
That's 20 labs.
Let's also assume that only 10% of the Earth's land surface is suitable for putting labs onto (the rest being deserts, mountains, volcanoes, rivers, etc.).
That's 10,000,000 square miles shared by 20 labs.
This gives a radius of roughly 400 miles each.
Probability of a random point on that radius being within half a mile of the center is thus 1 in 800.
Probability that this isn't random is 99.875%.

So, averaging the two figures, I calculate that the probability that the virus leaked from the bat-transmitted coronavirus lab to a fish market half a mile away, known to have sloppy safety standards in a country known to have sloppier safety standards, a long history of deliberate truth-hiding and personal habits amongst its general population that include sneezing, snot-blowing, coughing and spitting everywhere is...

99.7375%
 
Another problem with the lab conspiracy is the host animal it was taken from. C-19 has not been found in bats, and there is at least 25 years of evolutionary time between the closest Yunnan relative.
 
OP goes into a lengthy excerpt in post #1, though North Carolinian Baric receiving samples of the virus from Wuhanian bats is superspicious, because the closest relative of SARS-CoV-2, RaTG13, is from Yunnan.

Why is our own government lying to us about this pandemic?

This is stupid because Daszak gave Baric that virus. Daszak collected it in Kunming, Yunnan on 17 Aug 2011.
