COVID-19, a smoking gun at last
2020-09-15
[T]he theory that the virus may have come from a research laboratory is, however, strictly censored on peer-reviewed scientific journals. Nonetheless, SARS-CoV-2 shows biological characteristics that are inconsistent with a naturally occurring, zoonotic virus. In this report, we describe the genomic, structural, medical, and literature evidence, which, when considered together, strongly contradicts the natural origin theory. The evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 should be a laboratory product created by using bat coronaviruses ZC45 and/or ZXC21 as a template and/or backbone. Building upon the evidence, we further postulate a synthetic route for SARS-CoV-2, demonstrating that the laboratory-creation of this coronavirus is convenient and can be accomplished in approximately six months.

Smoking Gun. President Trump must Go after China and the CCP for this.

#17  Here is a decent layman's explanation courtesy of RedState (pretty surprised at that). It does note there is no explanation of intent, as in why did the Chinese Military/Medical?Part decide to make such a pathogen, and not enough information to determine if the release was deliberate or accidental. However, there is enough out there to show that the cover-up exists, involved the WHO, involved lying to the West, and was deliberate and intentional by the Chinese government.

#11  Such a strange phenomenon, discovering cow like dung in the vicinity of a milking parlor. Barn Swallows, that's it, Barn Swallows.

#10  All this is interesting indeed. Thanks to both of you for filling in some details.

It's about time the Western journals got exposed for what they are. I hope it clears out the deadwood and politically motivated. There might not be much left but maybe we'll get some honest replacements.

#9  Looks like a Steve Bannon org to hammer Chinese Commies (not that there is anything wrong with that). If you watch the video at thelsite, there is major money funding this.

Vision

To permit the people of China to live under a national system based on the rule of law, independent of the political system of the People’s Republic of China (“China”).

Mission

To expose corruption, obstruction, illegality, brutality, false imprisonment, excessive sentencing,harassment, and inhumanity pervasive in the political, legal, business and financial systems of China.

Core Values

To practice high ethical standards of integrity and accountability;

To bring justice to the people in China;

To protect and assist individuals victimized in China, particularly those penalized for speaking out against injustice;

To promote freedom of speech, media and general public’s supervision of the government activities.

#8  The other authors appear to have research in theri names in China, but I dont know enough Chinese to tell, other than by looking at abstracts, and those seem to be related to animal virology, and methods of analysis for virus mutations.

#7  Priimary author also co-authored a paper called "Viral dynamics in mild and severe cases of COVID-19" published in March 2020, regarding the viral shedding patterns observed in patients with mild and severe COVID-19. She was one of the initial whistleblowers about the Wuhan virus spreading far more widely and quickly.

I found a symposium aannouncment for her at Hong Kong University that gives this brief bio: Dr. Yan received her MD degree from XiangYa Medical College of Central South University (China), and PhD from Southern Medical University (China). Her research interests include investigations of infectious diseases or inflammation via different animal models. Her research has recently focused on study of universal influenza vaccine, cross-reactive antibodies and cellular immunology.

#6  The primary author was working in China and is a Hong Kong native, and had to flee persecution there. Also, much of the prior research on this was done in China due to the previous run of SARS-CoV-1, the original SARs virus. The Chinese government has gone so far as to "unpublish" several of their papers, and make them into un-persons like Nikolai Yezhov and erase their previous credentials and existence if possible.

As for the lack of Westerners, it is noted that Western journals reject any papers nearly out of hand that suggest anything other than orthodoxy of a spontaneous zoonotic origin, the story that the Chinese Communist Party and WHO have been desperately trying to cement as gospel, with the help of complaint anti-trump academics and press.

That is one of the reasons this is so big. Its going to blow up a ton of establishment academics and their cronies.

#5  A couple of thoughts.

One is that the four authors seem to work for Rule of Law Society & Rule of Law Foundation, New York, NY, USA. I have never heard of this foundation before, and it doesn't have anything that I recognize in the name as a connection to medicine. What is this foundation? When was it founded? Why do they exist? Is this legitimate or a political front of some kind?

The other thing that stands out is that almost all the names associated with this report seem to be Chinese, including all the authors and the extensive list of references at the end of the paper. Why? I would expect more Western sounding names from an American-based foundation and in any kind of paper that would be aimed at pinning the blame on China. What's up with that? Are the vast majority of molecular biologists (or whatever) of Chinese descent? Are they dissidents? Why aren't there more Western names here? Haven't we been trying?

Both of these observations seem suspicious to me at first glance, and will likely stay that way until sense can be made of them.

#4  Thank you for bringing this to us, OldSpook. I’ll look forward to learning from the discussion here to follow.

#3  Note: the link goes directly to the paper, not to a third party site. So be prepared to read technical stuff. But as they say on the X-Files, the truth is out there.

This is HUGE

#2  Key fact: the binding sites in the Corona appear to be the point of suspicion. Finally, a real biologist posting genetic info. This is the real deal.
