Why did the CCP *murder* their own doctors?
Some of us are desensitized to CCP abuse of political dissenters. The murder of a few outspoken doctors doesn't really shock. But these deaths have broader significance.
They lead us to ask: did the CCP spread the virus deliberately?
A recent survey of "experts" on the origin of SARS-CoV-2 found 33% of them claimed to have read a non-existent study "Hamlen et al, 2022" included as a control.
Now Microsoft's Copilot AI also claims the fake study as evidence of a zoonotic origin.
The research group of former PLA scientist Yigang Tong has published a new paper showing a "pangolin" coronavirus (GX_P2V) variant is 100% fatal to hACE2 mice likely due to infection of the brain.

Among the first to raise the alarm to the new coronavirus spreading was an employee at Chinese biotech company Vision Medical. Her WeChat posts were translated and archived by DRASTIC.
Did the CCP *murder* their own doctors?
Many have heard of Li Wenliang the 34 year-old ophthalmologist punished by the CCP for posting details of the novel coronavirus on a chat group. He caught the virus, was hospitalized and died from it weeks later.
Or so we've been told.
The Proximal Origin of Ebola

The original SARS from 2003, often cited as a precedent for the natural zoonosis of SARS-CoV-2, also has weird molecular and epidemiological features that suggest it's not natural either:

Here is the short email that shows what WIV was up to: using CSIRO's BSL-4 to make full-length human infectious clones of bat coronaviruses with SARS RBD, under the watchful eye of Linfa Wang.
So there it is - Fauci's famed (and very expensive) biodefense establishment is outsourced to med school professors who outsource it to China. If you thought you were being protected, or that Covid origins had been thoroughly investigated, might be time to think again.

Early sequences supporting a natural origin for SARS-CoV-2 all came from WIV and the PLA. In time, concerns about their provenance would inevitably bubble up from the realms of "conspiracy theorists". Independent validation was needed.

SARS-COV-2 engineering.
A question often posed by zoonosis proponents is
why would an engineered SARS-COV-2 have a non-canonical Furin Cleavage Site? Why wouldn't an engineer use R-X-R-R, known to be more efficient than the minimal R-X-X-R?
Here's a possible explanation...

Unrestricted Bioweapon?
A recurring criticism of the claim SARS-CoV-2 may be a bioweapon is its low virulence- particularly against the young. It would be ineffective on a battlefield compared to known agent like anthrax.
But this is based on a restricted notion of warfare.

@Jikkyleaks
The western virologists who decided for the world that SARS-COV-2 was natural did so on information passed to them by the PLA! Even this fact has been concealed until now.
The "pangolin covs" were concocted by PLA Colonel (now Major-General) Wuchun Cao.
Lanying Du, Fang Li and Yusen Zhou all appear on the final paper submitted by WIV prior to the pandemic alongside Zhengli Shi and 3 other PLA authors from China's bioweapons research institution the Academy of Military Medical Sciences.

Cleavage Site Again!
There are odd features of SARS-CoV-2 furin cleavage site that some claim no-one would have engineered that way. They speak for themselves, its designers must have their reasons.
First we must know: what was their intent?

Sydney University also initially rejected my application on grounds that it would endanger Holmes' safety (among other things). I refuted this in an appeal to the independent Information Commissioner

Our request for records of Edward Holmes — also a coauthor of proximal origin— was denied on similar grounds. Universities should side with efforts to uncover the origin of Covid-19, not with efforts to obfuscate it.
Evidence of genetic engineering in SARS-COV- Thread
While the "lab leak" theory of SARS-COV-2 is now acceptable, many scientists still claim there's no evidence that SARS-COV-2 was genetically engineered.
These scientists either haven't looked, or need their eyes checked...
Evidence of Genetic Engineering Part 17:
Furin Furore
A question that keeps resurfacing is why the furin cleavage site would be engineered to be the way it is (i.e. non-canonical and sub-optimal). Why not use a canonical R-X-R-R motif that would cleave furin more efficiently?
I asked isn't biodefense your field, these are your projects, with "Biodefense" in the title- shouldn't you know these things? His response "I'm just a med school professor".
Is the Middle East Respiratory virus also artificial?
Like SARS, MERS is assumed by most scientists to be zoonotic virus, descended from bat coronaviruses. While I don't dispute this, in both cases, the question of how they evolved to make the species jump is unanswered.

Why won't Baric squeal?
My *unpopular* opinion is that I don't believe DEFUSE is directly related to the origin of SARS-CoV-2 (a technical explanation soon).
But the question of why Baric isn't cooperating with the investigation is a good one...

Although previous studies the group did (including a collaboration with WIV) did not show this lethality, they now suggest that mutations gained through passaging in cell culture may have resulted in a far more lethal variant.

@AGHuff
is about to release a book which contains revelations about WIV and EcoHealth work before the pandemic. Here is genomic evidence of early undisclosed experiments at WIV funded by NIH.
But the provenance of this virus is still dubious. Did it really come from pangolins?
Although the paper offers references regarding the identification and isolation of GX_P2V there is no info in these on who isolated it, when and how.
@drlimengyan1
calls SARS-CoV-2 an "Unrestricted Bioweapon". The meaning of the first word may be lost on some westerners, being somewhat ambiguous. It might be taken to mean "out of control" but is intended to convey that it is not restricted to a conventional battlespace.
Deconstructing DEFUSE
Recent revelations from DEFUSE have been seen as a recipe for SARS-CoV-2. The virus incorporates superficially similar features to those proposed.
But does it show the authors of the document are the culprits?
Part 1: Did DEFUSE propose to insert an FCS?
Why do so many scientists believe that all pathogens ever found or engineered are in public sequence databases? Why do they assume even those working in biowarfare institutions under totalitarian regimes make all their work public?
For supposedly smart people, it's pretty dumb.
Is Ralph Baric really such a credulous idiot? The samples claimed to be "from pangolins" came from the PLA's Academy of Military Medical Science. No-one credible has found them in a pangolin. Synthesizing them in a lab changes nothing.
Coronavirus expert Ralph Baric of University of North Carolina floats theory of covid-19 origin: a single infected pangolin passed a virus to immunocompromised human, where it mutated, sparking pandemic.
If so, means events leading to pandemic will be "nearly untraceable"
Because the scope of powers is also being expanded to include pandemic "prevention and preparedness", this means "all the time" not just during a pandemic.
If in Australia you still have 3 days to make a submission on this bullshit we are signing up to.
There's also an ongoing collaboration between HKU and Zhejiang University. ZU is home to one of the key authors of the ZC45 paper. It's also home to the founder of the 973 program, China's military program to harvest knowledge from civilian and overseas institutions.
Xiangguo Qiu's recent Ebola collaborators include Yigang Tong and Weifeng Shi.
Yigang Tong led the PLA team that isolated (or engineered) the "pangolin" coronaviruses in 2017. Weifeng Shi sequenced RmYN02, an attempt to explain the FCS.
Her story was later published in a
@washingtonpost
article, but a crucial detail. was omitted -that she had identified the closest viral sequences to the new virus as ZC45 and ZXC21, which had several crucial differences to other known SARS-like viruses.
PLA involvement in SARS-CoV-2 like virus discoveries.
Listed below are the most important viral sequences purporting to show that SARS-CoV-2 has a natural origin. If they can be trusted, they explain how the novel genomic features such as the RBM and E-protein, may have evolved…
I suggested that China, and the Academy of Military Medical Sciences in particular, were known to be developing bioweapons. His response is flabbergasting. He has no clue what China does! This is a man running biodefense projects which are apparently being outsourced- to China.
The main duties of his new recruit include "optimization of coronavirus GX_P2V virus infection system" 😬
Perhaps this new potentially human lethal version indicates the optimization was successful?
In December 2019 Nature published a news article about a pathogen that infected workers at a Chinese institution that houses a recently built BSL-4 lab.
But not the one you think...
I recently found a phylogenetic tree made early in the pandemic which shows how closely related PLA published viruses ZC45/ZXC21 were to SARS-CoV-2, compared to other known sequences. Despite having only 89% sequence identity, they shared distinctive features with SARS-CoV-2.
It isn't only the BANAL sequences that need re-evaluating. All of the zoonotic sarbecovs on this tree are suspect. If fraudulent, the implication is there are no SARS-like viruses lurking in wildlife with potential to cause a human respiratory pandemic.
Not without human help.

Lipkin's main concern was that "rumors of bioweaponeering" were circulating in China. Perhaps there was some truth to the rumors and discussion was warranted. Why are scientists acting as censors on behalf of the CCP? Or cosplaying as diplomats?

origin👇🏻
• CNN Used…
The Genbank entry shows the sequence came from the AMMS.
And another AMMS officer Ruifu Yang separately indicated it came from "certain [secret] institutions".
Some have speculated that Andersen and Garry feared if SARS-CoV-2 were the result of a lab leak, it could lead to an investigation of their Sierra Leone activities.
Perhaps Ron Fouchier alluded to this in an email following the Feb 1st teleconference?
It is fringe idea even among Lab Leakers that SARS-1 had a natural origin. I can understand. It seems a conspiracy too far. My claim is these events and viruses are related. They have a "common ancestor": bioweapon research at PLA's Academy of Military Medical Science (AMMS).
They weren't the first to suspect a lab leak. International law expert Francis Boyle (who had helped implement the Bioweapons Convention in the US) was at the time the leading proponent of a theory that a lab in Kenema, Sierra Leone, with ties to USAMRIID, was responsible.
I asked Peter about Lanying Du and Fang Li, also on these projects. He said only that Lanying was a good researcher. He didn't respond when I asked (twice) if he was funding them.
While speculative, this offers a reasonable explanation for an engineered non-canonical FCS. It strains credulity that experts with publications in the field (like
@stuartdjneil
) haven't read papers like this, and have to ask questions like "why use a non-canonical FCS?"
If ZC45 is part of a newly discovered natural clade, why does it also have some features of the original SARS-like viruses? It seems to be the missing link between SARS-1 and SARS-COV-2, and deserves far more attention than it gets.
Interestingly Yigang Tong has been quite insistent that Racoon Dogs and Huanan market were NOT the source of SARS-CoV-2. This is consistent with George Gao's comments on the subject. Clearly China's official line is still that pangolins are to blame.
The lab under suspicion is situated at Kenema General Hospital (KGH). The lab was run by the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium (VHFC) whose members include Harvard and Tulane, Scripps and UTMB. Some of the leadership will be familiar to those following Covid origins.
Wuchun Cao is well networked with western scientists, studied at Erasmus, Cambridge and Karolinska, worked with Institut Pasteur and Oxford. He's the main China contact for One Health.
But he is a PLA officer and was sent to Wuhan early in the pandemic to conceal its origin.

PLA involvement in research related to SARS-CoV-2 Origin
I recently wrote a rationale to support the claim SARS-CoV-2 is a bioweapon, and to try address frequently asked questions like: what could be the military use of such a virus, and why would China risk harm to its own…
Why should we ban discussion that it may have been a bioweapon? What evidence makes this a "conspiracy theory"? I haven't seen any. If it is artificial, then what could be the reason for making such a construct?
Let's have that discussion.
This is exactly the sort of obfuscation where misinformation experts engage in misinformation themselves.
The common form of the lab origin theory is that SARS-CoV-2 resulted from gain of function research, i.e. was manmade, then leaked accidently. That claim violated FB policy.
A Tong paper from Feb 2020 suggests Tong's group (though it's written in the passive voice). But it references the Tommy Lam/Eddie Holmes paper as the source. And their paper doesn't say either.
I told Peter I'm more concerned about knowledge transfer to China than funds and that the PLA may use this for bioweapons development. He maintained they don't send funds to China. OK it's not about the money - your researchers are working alongside the PLA!
