Celebrity Scientists: W. Ian Lipkin
Once upon a time, a clique of Gain-of-Function bio-evangelists rode the 911 money-wave to wealth and fame. Along the way they developed close ties with Chinese scientists and government officials who wanted to develop GoF technology. Everyone said it was a win-win situation. The CCP got their GoF-know-how, while the scientists were rewarded with money, flattery, media attention, & medals.
When Covid happened, they walked the red carpet onto the platforms of mainstream media (from Fox to CNN) and the world's top science journals. They presented themselves as our scientific heroes riding to our rescue in a time of crisis. Fittingly, they all had colorful super-hero-nicknames, such as Bat Lady, Batman, & The Virus Hunter. They united as one-force to promote the CCP's version of events - they became their international mouthpieces. The CCP, in turn, implored the world to Listen to the Global Science Experts. It was a perfect arrangement.
One of the most visible of these Celebrity Scientists in the crucial early days of Covid, when the narrative was first being shaped, was The Virus Hunter, W. Ian Lipkin.
(Note: After i published details of Lipkin's involvement with CCP officials on his Wikipedia page in June 2020, he suddenly went to ground. I assume he read it. For my troubles, i had those details erased by a network of United Front Work Dept operatives who appear to have totally infiltrated Wikipedia management. I tried to fight it according to Wikipedia's rules, but received a barrage of conspiracy theorist vilification & was soon banned from Wikipedia. We know the CCP's UFWD works globally to infiltrate all influential organizations - Wikipedia is an obvious target. In the information war surrounding the origin of Covid, we can put Wikipedia in the Lost column (along with MSM, Science Academia, WHO, etc). Luckily, groups such as DRASTIC, & to a smaller extent Formosa Hut, were still able to publish verifiable, referenced info about the origin. In a case of turning-the-tables, we borrowed a classic CCP tactic from the Chinese Revolution - surround the city with the country. Today, despite the combined might of all establishment info-platforms telling us that Covid was natural-origin, virtually nobody believes them.)
- First Western scientist to be told of SARS-like outbreak in Wuhan, saying I first heard about this outbreak on the 15th Dec from Lu Jia-hai, a professor at Sun Yat-sen university.
- Founding Director of Northeast Biodefense Center in 2003. Granted $46 mil in 2009 alone for pursuing multifaceted research activities to fight emerging infectious diseases and terrorism with special emphasis on Bacillus anthracis and ... Zoonotic diseases ...due to expertise of NBC members. (note: Lipkin spearheaded the funding transition from fear-of-bioterrorism to fear-of-nature)
- Member of WHO Collaborating Center.
- Loves the limelight. Featured advisor for the movie Contagion, which he never shuts up about. This role burnished his Celebrity Scientist status - invariably referred to in every media-gig intro. Lipkin proudly reveals that one of the characters, who saves the world by breaking-the-rules, is based on him.
- Conducted media blitz praising the CCP’s system of government (16:17) after returning from a fact-finding-mission to China in Feb 2020. Down-played the severity of Covid initially saying its impact would be much less .. than seasonal flu.
- During his Feb China trip, Lipkin says I offered my services to President Xi Jin-ping, who I found very impressive.
- Advocated strongly against masks, echoing WHO's & CDC's advice that they're not useful. He described calls to adopt mask-wearing as crazy. Failed to wear a mask whilst conducting media-blitz in US (though he wore them in China & praised their usage there). This resulted in him catching/spreading Covid in mid-March, when the disease first took off in the US. As an alternative to masks, Lipkin promoted a video he’d provided advice for, involving the lead actors from Contagion, which urged people to shelter in place, wash your hands, and listen to the experts (such as himself).
- Founding Director of the Beijing Center for Infectious Diseases. Visiting professor at Beijing University. Joint lab at Sun Yat-sen University, Beijing (CCP funded). Splits time between Columbia Uni and China.
- Relentlessly touts a medical data-centralization operation called GIDEON, whose funding, according to Lipkin, comes from the CCP. (13:43)
- Close friends with Chinese government ministers and officials. (18:10) Relationships date back (as with those of all our Celebrity Scientists) to his involvement with SARS-1. Assured US-public that these officials were being transparent & professional.
- Received two prestigious awards from the CCP/PLA, including one presented by Li Kechiang in person.
- Advocate of Gain-of-Function experiments.
- Co-author of Proximal Origins, described by BBC as the definitive paper ruling out the possibility of a lab leak, thereby shielding WIV from growing scrutiny. Blamed pangolin from a Wuhan market. (note: After this was written, FOI emails revealed that Lipkin had little to no role in writing the paper - he was brought on after it was drafted, primarily as the Celebrity Scientist salesperson to push its no-lab-exit message)
- Celebrity virus/environmental Evangelist (32:30). Has played up threat of zoonotic crossover all his career - says this is not the big one - so give us more money/surveillance power.
Take-aways:
Massive CCP COIs - which make all his pronouncements on the origin of Covid suspicious.
Weird disinformation disseminating behaviour upon returning from his fact-finding-mission to China whereupon he downplayed the severity of Covid & campaigned against mask usage - even though he knew better than anyone that they were useful - having seen studies to that effect, & praised their usage in China. You can bet your life he wasn't running around China giving TV interviews telling people not to wear masks there.
It's hard to think of a plausible reason why Lipkin would do this other than he wanted the disease to spread in the US. Why would he do that? For the same vested interests that motivated him to run-interference for the CCP re the origin: money/power. A pandemic would ensure a huge boost in pipeline funding as well as help pull-off a global power-grab for the Zoonati. That amounts to mass-man-slaughter if those charges are ever proven.
