Thank you.

That’s a twist on the crackpot conspiracy theory that Covid isn’t a real virus and the disease is actually caused by the vaccines, which were supposedly developed for an anticipated Hillary win back before Obama. Alledgedly, “they” sneaked these vaccines into other vaccines and people got them unawares. Uh huh.

This one isn’t nearly as whacky as the one above, but still doesn’t hold water.

Here’s my problem with these theories: They make it easy to dismiss the very REAL scandals as just more crazy conspiracy theories.

The real scandals: (1) we funded Shi’s research via the NIH, outsourcing this risky GoF research to that leaky lab in Wuhan (2) Basic taught her at least one of the crucial steps for creating SARS-CoV-2 right here on American soil (3) the Trump administration lifted the moratorium on GoF research in 2017 (4) Fauci and Daszak’s coverup. (5) China tried to hide the outbreak until it could no longer be hidden, allowing international travel to spread it more quickly. Scandals abound, and don’t stop at the Chinese border.

Again, it was an accident waiting to happen. Very foolish decisions were made. Fauci, Daszak and others have a lot to answer for. And this type of GoF research needs to stop. The risks far outweigh any potential benefits.

They must have snuck it in in the’90’s because that’s the last time I got a vaccine. I had the Wuhan in November of’19.

Yep. Just another reason that theory is totally whacky. Not only would there have to be a worldwide conspiracy of epic proportions to pull that off, a very large percentage of the adult population worldwide would have had to receive the vaccines shortly before the outbreak.

Or maybe that’s why they came up with the theory about magnetic nanobots in the vaccines that can be activated via 5G by Bill Gates to either (a) control your mind or (b) kill you, depending on the version. And all the lab workers all over the world doing batch checks are keeping about it because they, too, are part of this vast global conspiracy. Never mind the batch checkers in Japan found metallic particles in a batch from faulty equipment at that Moderna facility in Spain and did not keep mum.

You’re welcome. The link was easy to find — it’s in the article I posted at #17 that Pelham was quoting:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4083476/posts?page=17#17

Long read, but well worth it.

The pandora’s box article at

https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/

is very interesting.

“So the virus creators knew from the beginning that the vaccine was useless.”

The vaccines were all designed to attack the original Covid-19 Spike protein.

The original virus and all variants having the same Spike as the original no longer circulate.

That’s the sign of a highly effective vaccine.

“When they tried to make vaccines for SARS1 with whole killed virus, they met with spectacular failure in the animal trial phase. So of course he said that.”

IIRC the whole virus vaccine attempts for SARS-1 and MERS both resulted in something called “vaccine-associated enhanced disease”, VAED.

When the vaccinated animals were exposed to the wild virus they all died quickly, maybe from cytokine storms. I suspect that this is why none of the current SARS-2 vaccines outside of China attempted to use a whole virus.

Yeah, that Bulletin article is excellent.

Nicholas Wade did a great job of collecting readily available evidence, all of it preceding the outbreak, that points directly at Shi, Daszak, Baric and the people who funded their Gain of Function research as the culprits who unleashed the Covid-19 virus on the world.

It looks like it was done unwittingly, but they had plenty of warning that what they were doing with GoF was exceedingly dangerous.

Several years ago I was learning about CRISPR, the technology that has made gene editing so simple you could do it in your garage. And if you wanted to try it with hot zone pathogens you might be able to create a near-extinction virus just for the hell of it. Shi and friends appear to have done it out of negligence and stupidity. Fortunately Covid didn’t turn out to be nearly as lethal as SARS-1 and MERS.

That’s precisely what I recall. All went well during the initial phase with no animals harmed or sickened, but upon challenge (exposure to the virus), they displayed an exaggerated response compared to unvaccinated animals —yes, a cytokine storm or something like that.

That’s how some of the conspiracy theories got started that the mRNA vaccines for Covid19 “killed all the animals” during testing. Of course the SARS1 vaccines were not mRNA vaccines, but whole killed virus.

At the beginning of the pandemic, it was easy to find articles about the SARS1 vaccine development attempts, but now my Google-fu fails me. :(

We don’ need no stinking facts. It’s the story that counts. Don’t get in the way of a good conspiracy tale.

“At the beginning of the pandemic, it was easy to find articles about the SARS1 vaccine development attempts, but now my Google-fu fails me. :(”

I’ve noticed that too, when I’ve looked for the SARS-1 vaccine failure paper again to see if the ferrets are still dead. It may be due to the tidal wave of studies written after SARS-2. The early papers that we try to find again are buried under the deluge.

It is indeed fortunate!

They think SARS1 burned itself out because it is only transmissible when the patient is symptomatic, so contact tracing and quarantine of contagious individuals was sufficient to finally contain it. It killed about 8,000 worldwide first, though, and had a case fatality rate of about 10%.

Not so with Covid19, which can be transmitted before symptoms appear — so it looks like we’re stuck with it, along with the Corona viruses that can cause common colds. Let’s hope it keeps getting milder and milder.

Personally, I think this type of GoF research should stop.

I get why the researchers want to keep on with it. Not only the grant money, but their interest in doing this work as well. They love the process and the challenges. Remember how, as little kids, we would get all absorbed in building something or other out of Tinker Toys or Legos and imagine we could build this really cool thing if we only had more, or they made them in different shapes or sizes? I think they get caught up in that mindset, too.

The original purpose was to benefit mankind. But so far as I know, this GoF research has yet to identify a real-world case of a virus’s incipient leap from animals to humans or predict the emergence of any new disease. I could be wrong and would appreciate correction if I am.

It also looks like Shi went well beyond the bounds of likely mutations of that bat virus. Wade doesn’t say so, but a close reading gave me that sense. I get trying to figure out the worst case scenario, but it appeared she was starting to take “what if” too far and perhaps into the territory of “what if space aliens blew up Mars?” What are the chances? You can’t say zero, but ... I can see why some think she might have actually been trying to develop a bioweapon. Me, I think she just got carried away. Had she truly had the goal of creating a bioweapon, she would have confined the work to the BSL4 lab, and her big bosses would have insisted on it.

I can understand why these researchers don’t want to admit their life’s work should be stopped, that the risks far outweigh any potential benefit. But it appears to me they do. Yet no one is talking about this, no one is all up in arms about it. There’s no debate. Odd, isn’t it?
