| #7 Notice how govt and media discussions appear to...fade away from origins? Call me paranoid, but i'm generally attentive to what is NOT being discussed. |

| #6 So the death by reinfection is not a new infection but a follow on effect Ladies and Gentlemen this virus was designed from the get go as a killer make no bones about it It was designed to be a weapon This is not a research project |

| #5 Now Ah'm looking for survivors to slowly expire from cardiac and renal decay. |

| #4 Available for experimentation from you local bio-market. "The organ- and cell-specific expression of this gene suggests that it may play a role in the regulation of cardiovascular and renal function, as well as fertility. In addition, the encoded protein is a functional receptor for the spike glycoprotein of the human coronaviruses SARS and HCoV-NL63." |

| #3 I had to look it up. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 |

| #2 Not with this one, not easily. Whether naturally evolved or, as seems quite likely bioengineered, Covid-19 is highly optimized to attach to the ACE2 human cell receptor. |

| #1 Butto target this protein, you need to know what it looks like. Bull. You don't need the structure. People been doing passive* or active immunizations long before they knew what a protein is let alone their structure. *You produce a lot of protein. You inject it into rabbits. Isolate the resultant antibodies and give them to sick people. |
