WHITNEY WEBB ON CONVID-19

[David Guyatt]

Then there is the following Youtube clip by Prof Francis Boyle that was (but no longer is) on Youtube, where he points to a passage in a scientific paper which says there "may provide a gain of function" to the 2019 n-CoV.  Boyle points out that this gain of function refers to the weaponisation of Covid-19.  I am not a scientist or technically minded and have no idea if this is factually correct.  However, I do assume he is.

I took the decision to copy and download this Youtube video as I felt sure it would soon disappear of the Youtube portal, as it now has.  However, I can find no way to upload it.  Professor Boyle claims this "gain of function" statement is the "smoking gun" in bio speak to mean the weaponisation as stated above.  I also took the trouble to download the paper he referred to and check for accuracy and, indeed, he is accurate.  The paper can be downloaded and read HERE.

Prof. Boyle goes to considerable length in all his video's and interviews to finger China and the Wuhan Laboratory for Coronavirus.  And yet all the related publications and authors quoted in the foregoing paper are Western. As Prof Boyle points out in his now missing Youtube clip, the scientific research he quotes from was by three French and one Candian scientists.  

My own suspicions lean more towards the curious closing down of the US premier biowarfare lab at Fort Detrick last July by the CDC for a number of dangerous breaches - including a member entering 3 and 4 level labs without wearing the essential personal protection equipment during dissection of a dead primate.  Plus a number of other breaches as well.  President Trump later personally ordered the Fort Detrick lab to be re-opened.

Approx., 60 miles from Fort Detrick is Fort Belvoir where the US Army Athletes trained for the Army Games held in Wuhan, China in October 2019.  Curiously, a Chinese government official claimed a few weeks ago that Coronavirus was brought to China by some of these visiting US Army athletes, five of which had to undergo hospitalisation for what later turned out to be Coronavirus (as I recall the charge anyway).  Russia and Iran have also joined China in blaming the US for the dissemination of this deadly virus to China - and later the world.  Well, they would, wouldn't they.  Or would they?  Normally, China is very reserved in diplomatic statements and this one by the government diplomat was out of the ordinary in finger pointing at the USA, and it was only after this that President Trump began his "Chinese flu" and Wuhan virus" taunts.  By all means make up your own mind.

But before you do, you might want to just skim an eye over the below report by the Jason Group drawing from from a 2002 book.  The paper is titled "Next Generation Bioweapons - Genetic Engineering and Biological Warfare" which purports to be about what future "terrorists" might do but which very clearly - given the nature and complexity and cost of the research involved - is rather more focused towards nation states and what the US itself might be doing - or planning.  The report is HERE.

The report speaks of many things including, for example, "Natural versus Biologically Engineered Pathogens", "Designer Genes" and "Gene Therapy as a Weapon" to name but a few.  It proceeds to:

Stealth Viruses 109

The concept of a stealth virus is a cryptic viral infection that covertly enters human cells (genomes) and then remains dormant for an extended time. 

 

However, a signal by an external stimulus could later trigger the virus to activate and cause disease. 

 

This mechanism, in fact, occurs fairly commonly in nature. For example, many humans carry herpes virus which can activate to cause oral or genital lesions. Similarly, varicella virus will sometimes reactivate in the form of herpes zoster (shingles) in some people who had chicken pox earlier in life. However, the vast majority of viruses do not cause disease.

As a biological weapon, a stealth virus could clandestinely infect the genome of a population. Later, the virus could be activated in the targeted population, or a threat of activation could be used as blackmail.

Oncogenes are segments of DNA that, when switched on, can initiate wild cellular growth and misbehavior—the hallmarks of cancer. Some viruses have segments of DNA that can mimic oncogenes and directly, or perhaps through bioregulators or host genes, cause cancer.

Next on the list is "Hot-Swapping Diseases" and again is carefully couched in terms of reckless terrorists (but I doubt too many can be fooled by this artifice or projection?):

Host-Swapping Diseases 111

As previously stated, the vast majority of viruses do not cause disease. In nature, animal viruses tend to have narrow, well-defined host ranges. Unlike bacteria, viruses often infect only one or just a few species. 

 

When a virus has a primary reservoir in an animal species, but is transmissible to humans, it is called a zoonotic disease. Animal viruses tend to have a natural animal reservoir where they reside and cause little or no damage. 

 

Examples of reservoirs include birds for the West Nile Virus, water fowl for Eastern equine encephalitis and rodents for hantavirus. The bat is thought to be the reservoir for Ebola virus, and the chimpanzee is thought to have been the original reservoir for the HIV virus that causes AIDS. 

 

When viruses “jump species” they may occasionally cause significant disease. These examples illustrate that manageable infectious agents can be transformed naturally into organisms with markedly increased virulence.112

When this happens naturally, the process results in an emerging disease. If it were to be induced by man, it would be bioterrorism. In the laboratory of inspired, determined and well-funded bioterrorists, an animal virus may be genetically modified and developed specifically to infect human populations. 

 

Emerging diseases could have serious implications for biological warfare or terrorism applications.

In conclusion, I note again that this was from 2002, 18 years ago.  I also note again what Prof. Francis Boyle said about "gain-of-function".  Not least I note that in the months running up to the outbreak of Coronavirus in China, the US stock and bond market were, once again (the thir time in 18 years... first on 9/11, second in 2008 and now in 2020) in complete collapse that has now required a simply massive bailout of Wall Street and Corporations teetering on the brink of collapse and bankruptcy.  Few outside of finance and related disciplines seem to be really aware just how dangerous this third systemic collapse of the US financial system actually was and how dangerous the entire entire US economic system was imperilled by continues greed and rashness of Wall Street and the US corporate sector.  This was 4 months before China's first Coronavirus case was reported (see HERE).

Wall Street’s Crisis Began Four Months Before the First Reported Death from Coronavirus in China; Here’s the Proof

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Wall Street pundits are all over cable news, repeating the mantra that “this is nothing like the last financial crisis,” while seeking to lay the blame for all of the newly-announced bailout measures for Wall Street at the feet of the coronavirus. But in terms of Wall Street [url=https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/privatizing-profits-and-socializing-losses.asp]privatizing profits and socializing losses, this is [i]exactly[/i] like the last financial crisis.
