# Ch 3 - Proximal Origin In the story of the Covid Atrocity, there are two documents that fooled the world (with help from their friends): Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 & The Lancet Statement # Thank-you Lancet, Billy, Dan (Very under reconstruction) If your quest is to trace back Covid's Cover-up to its source material, you wind up with two documents: ***The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2** * ***The Lancet Statement** * The old *one-two.** * They are both *dear to my heart,* coz, they formed my *entry-point* into: *I**nvestigating the Origin of Covid* Here's how it went down: **Jan 24, 2020:** (Japan) Dan [started a thread](http://formhttps//formosahut.com/forum/index.php?id=1861osahut.com/forum/index.php?id=1861) on *Formosahut* titled *nCov*. We (/he, firstly) began noticing/recording some striking anomalies. In early Feb, I mentioned a couple of these to my sister in a phonecall, Emeritus Professor in Microbiology at Melbourne University at the time. The reaction was oddly bristling. I sensed a wall being thrown up around the subject. That took me aback - somewhat. Luckily/unluckily, i've grown to recognize *oddly bristling* as a symptom of ... : *something* ... deeper ... (often related to insecurity ...) [Sent her a Feb 23 story](http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2020/02/23/2003731479) from *Taipei Times* on a scientists' symposium in Taiwan. **Fang Chi-tai (方啟泰), National Taiwan University:** *Mutations of viruses that occur naturally only result in small, singular changes. One would not normally see a naturally mutated virus **suddenly take on four amino acids**.* *While such a large mutation is not impossible, it is **highly unlikely**.\** (bold added) **Email from:** *Interesting hypothesis.* *I haven’t see* (sic) any *support for the idea.* *The mutation of the corona to add 4 aa *(amino acids)* is unusual – but certainly not impossible.* **Email to:** *Technically, that NTU symposium is support for the idea, no? Those who raised questions about its origin (Taiwan's leading uni) were also scientists from Taiwan and France.* *Shouldn't a lab-origin be at least investigated? As you say, nature adding 4 aa is highly unusual at best, so why not consider simpler explanations?* **Email back:** *The expert* (sic)* don’t believe in a conspiracy* *[https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30418-9/fulltext](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30418-9/fulltext)* *The relevant 4 amino acids are different between SARS-1 and SARS-2 => see below. But the evolution pattern is clear. See below.* *Cheers* [![unnamed.png](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-11/scaled-1680-/unnamed.png)](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-11/unnamed.png) I glanced at the graph - it does illustrate that SARS *evolution pattern* emerged for the first time - in the history of humanity - *2*0 odd years ago. That in itself is curious. I then *clicked-on-the-link*. Innocently. Not comprehending the quantum journey it was about to send me on. It was: [The Lancet Statement](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30418-9/fulltext) I read it. It's not very long. It's 27 world-leading *experts *declaring (to the world) that: Covid is definitely not a lab-leak Which they know, coz: The CCP totalitarian regime controlling the lab/info in question is: *"open and transparent*" The language is weirdly over-the-top - *condemning conspiracy theorists * (who dare to question the above premise) *- *raving about* unity/solidarity/standing together. *With the CCP! There's an attached petition which you can digitally sign to show your solidarity.* * ***Email to**. Don't sign that. It's unscientific to demanding* (sic) *solidarity with China (notorious for censoring/distorting information) on a subject that's still under investigation, and to be howling down any dissenting view as a conspiracy. Why did you send me that?* There was no reply. However; my sister had recently decided to call me regularly, on Zoom, which she'd enthusiastically uptaken, to demonstrate how you can *keep us all together* in a *socially distant world*. From my perspective, I'm ... *somewhat of a hermit*. Therefore; social distancing, the practicalities, didn't bother me - at all. I was already doing back-to-back 14-day quarantines, divided by one day (which i loathed/loathe) of shopping for supplies , long before Covid came along. So on that level it's *low impact*. Philosophically though, weighing its *radical* overnight lockdowns & auto-assault-mode on basic freedoms (which came straight-out-of-the-playbook of the organization that likely caused Covid) - that bothers the shit out of me. So, long-story-long, my reasoning was: if i have to participate in these invasive Zoom calls, i'd like to: *make it real* *Some chit-chat, no worries, but at least one meaningful, civilized discussion relating to the the origin of the phenomenon that has utterly engulfed us.* In my mind: *it'd be weird not to* In that *spirit* , following an obligatory period of auto-forget chit-chat, i bring up: *The Lancet Statement* I know, i'm stepping into a no-go-zone - all the *bristling* signals made that clear. That's why it's called *bristling*. It implies an even more hostile reaction if you don't desist. Wouldn't it be better to simply drop it, talk about her interests, get off the phone, no dramas? On the other hand ... , she did send me the *Lancet Statement* link, it's super-topical, MSM has globo-platformed it, ... so ... according to my *meaningful ground-rules* ... i gotta bring it up at some point. At least ask questions ... *I read your Lancet Statement.* *Can i say, China is not "open & transparent"? Take it from someone with a degree in political-sociology who lived next-door to the CCP for 23 years in Taiwan.* *Why did you send me that? Did you seriously think i was gonna sign it?* *Look, it's 27 of the most qualified virology experts in the world saying Covid's origin is definitely zoonotic. That's the main take-away. They've studied the data, they know what they're talking about. They know a lot more than you.* *I'm sure they do - all 27 of them combined. That's why it's so strange that it's one of the dumbest things i've ever read. Do they know that CCP is a totalitarian regime?* *(scoffs) Of course.* *Then they would know WIV is a top-security lab, right, dedicated to coronaviruses?* *Look, i work in a high-security lab, including BSL-4 - i know how strict the protocols are. There's no way it could happen. It's not possible.* *Well, it's definitely possible, coz it's happened before. Happened with SARS half-a-dozen times, right?* *I've not seen any credible evidence for that. Regardless, standards are much stricter today.* *Ok, it did happen. 6 times. Ironically, SARS coronavirus only exists in labs now, right?* *That's true. It's no longer extant in nature. Though there are other known bat coronaviruses that do.* *None of which were known to infect humans in their natural state, right?* *That's true, but the potential was there.* *Right, & scientists were working on fulfilling that potential. Way faster than nature.* *Well, it's to beat nature to the punch. We know it's inevitable, we need to get ahead of nature to develop vaccines against it. Covid is a great example of that process at work. Vaccine research is already well-advanced thanks to that research.* *Did you know* *Obama banned GoF research in the US in 2016 due to a rash of lab-accidents?* *I don't know about that. Anyway, it's irrelevant. In times of crisis you have to listen to the experts. That's what they're there for. This is 27 world-leading experts saying its origin is zoonotic, most likely from a wet-market in Wew-han.* *Ok, but-* *Likely helped along by climate change, especially deforestation. It's a man-made mess that was bound to happen. As Scientists we had-* *Man-made mess bound to happen - i agree - but likely helped along by scientists in a lab, not Climate Change/deforestation. How-the-heck does Climate-* *As Scientists we had long been warning about exactly this type of eventuation . The only question now is: How to handle it in a calm, rational way.* *Sure, but there were also warnings that GoF research would-* *Look, this is a crisis situation - Now is the time to trust the experts - give them the space to get on with the job they're trained to do.* *Yeah, i'm not big on blind-trust as-a-rule. I'm more evidence-based. Saying 'Listen to the Experts' is not in & by itself a proof, right?* *Look, this is a highly specialized field. It's not something where an outsider with an internet connection can magically crack the origin of Covid.* *Ok, then let's stick with the premise of the Lancet Statement, shall we? That's something that someone with an internet connection can access - basically coz you sent it to me on the internet. The statement is not scientific, it's short & simple. If you can read English, you can understand the main points - so presumably it can be discussed in layman's terms?* *It's written so laymen can understand the key points. That doesn't mean you can understand the science behind those conclusions.* *Ok, so focussing on one of the key points: Do you agree that a totalitarian regime controlling a top-security lab would influence what their scientists can or cannot say to the world?* *It's irrelevant. As scientists, we don't play politics, we report the facts. Politics plays no part in it, whatsoever. Our job is to be the ones above that. International scientists, including Chinese ones, collaborate every day on a purely scientific level. I know, because i do it. Advancing science is about collaboration. There are no borders.* *Well, there **are** borders, & politics, that's easily proven. But you still didn't answer the question: Would a totalitarian regime control what their scientists can or cannot say in a crisis situation?* *I don't believe that's what happened, but America would do the same.* *I totally agree! They already did do the same with the Anthrax terrorist attacks, but that doesn't make it right.* *The Anthrax terrorist attacks? They were done by Al Qaeda. Why are you talking about that?* *No, it was no Al Qaeda. Lot of people think that, though. According to the FBI, it was a lab-leak from Fort Detrick - by a top scientist, named Bruce Ivins.* *I don't believe that's correct.* *Go ahead check it. Search: Bruce Ivins anthrax FBI* *I don't think I'm gonna do that. Being on the internet doesn't make it true.* *Sure, i don't auto-believe FBI reports either, it was likely bigger than one rogue scientist, but-* *Look, i'm not going down any conspiracy theory rabbit-holes about Anthrax. Let's just agree to disagree. Please, let's talk about something else.* *Ok, that's fine, only want to say: Don't sign The Lancet Statement ...* *& stop disseminating disinformation on the internet.* *How is it disinformation? It's 27- * *How is it disinformation? Well, the CCP are "open and transparent" about **not** being open and transparent. * *Condemning people as Conspiracy Theorists coz they question that premise is: illogical * *Calling for solidarity/unity with CCP is: illogical/dangerous* *It's not illogical. Science is logic in it's purest form. * *Ok, what do you think is logically motivating these 27-expert Scientists to pedal disinformation on CCP's behalf? * *The Greater Good. There are bigger issues at play. * *Ok, what bigger Greater-Good issues, exactly?* *Look, we are facing an existential global emergency with Climate Change, that's beyond scientific doubt. The cold-hard-fact is, China is showing the most leadership on that issue. On the other hand it's Donald Trump. We are so close to the precipice - scientists have been unanimous in this - Trump would shove us straight over the edge.* *Ok, but that's not an excuse for scientists to lie to the world. I thought you were leaving the politics out?* *The Greater Good? No, it's not about that - the opposite - stay away from it - i'm pleading with you - you will get badly burned.* *Ok, look, I shouldn't have sent it to you, that's my mistake, I'm sorry, I forgot about your Taiwan leanings. Let's talk about something else ... * *Taiwan leanings? Like biased towards democracy & openess? * *Look, in a year's time, nobody will even care or remember about Covid. * *No, i don't think that's gonna happen. In a year's time the media might resume to not giving-a-shit about elderly people with co-morbities dying, but it's not gonna magically go away as an issue. * *Ok, we'll see in a year's time, but until then, I'm sick of talking about coronavirus - I do it all day - it's everywhere. Have you been doing any woodwork?* Not too much, i've been researching/writing about The Origin of Covid. Next Zoom-call, a couple of weeks later, *The* Topic, in *The* World, was still *Covid*. Even more so. Exponentially *more so*, It was no longer like SARS - as the experts had all told us (that killed 774 then disappeared). We're now living in a post-silent-bang world of fully-swamped hysteria. It wasn't even me who introduced the topic. *The thing about scientists is that before the event, we're the nervous nellies, warning of it happening, but once it happens, we're the calm ones.* *So why they histrionic reaction to anyone questioning the origin if scientists are so calm?* *Scientists are working around the clock to try & find a cure for this - they don't need to waste time debunking conspiracy theories from right-wing Trump nutters. Have you seen this? It explains pretty well in layman's terms.* [animated cartoon](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-01/china-state-media-propaganda-video-mock-us-coronavirus/12204836) (i think ABC has tidied up it's headline, but the gist is the same, promoting China's transparency/response/lockdown mentality - ridiculing the US's/Trump's.) Having watched it, my initial response was: *Why are you sending me CCP propaganda?* *That's not CPP propaganda. It's just a cartoon.* *Looks exactly like it. Who made it? * Her partner, another Mike, was also on the Zoom-call. He fact-checked it as we spoke. He hadn't been engaging in the debate verbally, though he thought the cartoon was spot on. *Actually it is propaganda. It does say this was produced by the CCP. The ABC's **Key Points** section says ... :* *Ok. This is a good example of the crazy world we're living in where CCP propaganda is being plugged by the ABC? Why is a tax-payer funded org spreading CCP propaganda? * Leann: * Maybe because it's right. * (Edit: More than 2 years later - there's still *no evidence* of the ABC having done a single investigative piece on the origin of the most impactful event of our lifetimes. What does that mean?) (Re-edit, 5 years later, there's still no evidence of the ABC having done a single investigative piece on the origin of the most impactful story of our lifetimes.) *Ok, let's agree to* disagree on the cartoon. *I read Proximal Origin of SARS-Cov-2 - it was cited by the Lancet Statement as its scientific evidence. * *Yes, I read it. The most parsimonious explanation is it came from pangolin sold at a wet-market. * *Right. Records show there were no pangolin sold at the market, though. * *Ok, it could've been black-market. Off-the-records. Pangolin are known to be trafficked from Malaysia into China through Guang Dong. They are considered a delicacy.* *But how did they get infected by bats from Yun-nan - 1000km away west? Then get to Wuhan - 1000km north?* *Look, it's been examined by the world's leading experts, this is the most parsimonious explanation. * * Right. I looked into the authors - they've all world-leading experts, that's correct, but they've got massive CCP COIs. Ian Lipkin really jumped-off the page, do you know him? * *Yes, I've heard of him. He was involved with SARS-1. * *Yeah, that's him, he's actually a Celebrity Scientist, he was the expert advisor on a Hollywood movie. That guy's got CCP COIs up to his eyeballs, dating back to SARS-1. He's good friends with Chinese Ministers.* *Look (full physical bristle)-* *Eddie Holmes, the Aussie from Sydney Uni-* *Yes, look i talk about Covid all day long. Let's move on, tell me about your woodwork ...* The cartoon conversation was followed up with another **email from:** ***Conspiracy theories near you!!*** (her bold) *[Police break up anti-5G protesters spouting controversial COVID theory](https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/coronavirus-australia-nsw-police-break-up-protest-against-5g-roll-out-mullumbimby-c-994800)* It was meant as a Strawman-style insult - *anyone who questions The Science's origin of Covid is a tin-foil hat-nutter, haha!* Though, if you click on the link, the protesters are saying 5G depletes immunity - therefore makes people more susceptible to disease. That's not crazy thinking according to a [paper in *Nature*](https://www.nature.com/articles/d42473-019-00009-7) (of all places) on the subject: The next phone conversation was our last. My personal experience of The Great Covid Rift. (despite the enforcement of unity, it achieved the opposite effect. By then i'd dug a bit deeper. Started reading the papers cited by the *The Lancet Statement,* specifically *Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 (aka the Pangolin Paper)* *Do you know that WIV was in fact doing GoF research on coronaviruses?* *Maybe they are, so what? It's a high-security lab. There's no chance of an escape. I work in these environments.* *Not maybe, definitely, Shi Zheng-li has published papers on it.* Look, anyone who knows anything about epidemiology knows that Coronavirus is natural in Origin. I really don't need to talk with you about this subject. I agreed to disagree about being banned. Asked: *Why do scientists have so little interest in discovering the truth?* Her last words to me *I'm sick to death of hearing about your boring conspiracy theories*. Then hung up. The End. That's sad. Another silent casualty of Covid. I know this person is well-intentioned at heart. Part of this journey is trying to understand how good people came to behave in reactionary ways - to cover-up the truth. Then figure out how to bring them back - to re-communicate - in a way that doesn't vilify them - but - where the past is not swept under the carpet. That can't be the answer. We can't jump from censorship/ridicule to * - we've moved on -* In order to move-on, you've gotta be there in the first place . I can't move on from Timbuktu, for example, coz i've never been there. First job for society is to develop a space where questions are allowed to be asked about this event that changed every human's life. Let's get there, set up camp, explore - then we can talk about how to move on. Otherwise we're moving on to the exact thing we need to move away from. If the system is broken, which it is - we can still fix it. But i'm getting ahead of things. The point is: by the time i'd digested The Lancet Statement, i knew: this new virus is a lab-leak There was/is no other reason for scientists to be issuing blatantly unscientific statements. I checked a paper that the Lancet Statement cited in support of its premise - it was called *Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2*. Welcome to The Rabbit Warren Started researching/[writing/discussing Prox O on Formosahut](http://formosahut.com/forum/index.php?id=2035) with Dan - first posted on May 18, 2020. Don't know how many drill-down referenced analyses of Prox O & its authors' COI's there were at that time - not many - none that i saw - by world-leading scientists or not. It was quickly clear the pangolin premise was rubbish, but the fascinating part was the authors who concocted it. The COI's were glaring. Formosahut is a tiny forum - it's Dan and I basically -with a small readership - the recess of the *recesses of the internet*. Privately, I posted extensively on Lipkin's and Holmes's Wikipedia pages - painstakingly referencing every statement - no personal opinions - no adjectives - mainly using their own words. Information only. I thought it would be bullet-proof for those reasons, controversial as it was. It lasted two weeks. Pretty sure Lipkin and Holmes saw it. Lipkin in particular went from *all-over-the-media-like-a-rash* to radio silence. After that it was like being attacked by those octopus machines from Matrix. The lead Wikipedia vandal was a user called Thucydides411 - but he had significant back-up. I was overwhelmed - blanked n blocked - with the usual conspiracy theorist name-calling. If you accept that the United Front Work Dept is a well-organized force, then you'll know that Wikipedia is a prime medium to infiltrate/control. What it did show is: This is an information war. On one side: the so called *right-wing nutter conspiracy theorists,* who calmly present referenced information, ask reasonable questions. On the other side: the so-called *progressives,* who get angry, resort to name-calling, refuse to discuss details, use their power to censor/ban the discussion. Then replace it with misinformation - telling themselves it's for the common good. This is the world we are living in. In some ways it was satisfying to hit a nerve - but being shut down at every turn when all you're trying to do is investigate what the fuck happened here - it's not pleasant. Then - out of the blue - some contact came the other way - an intrepid Covid-origin researcher somehow found me. I knew he was intrepid coz no-one else had done it. That was: [ @Billy Bostickson](https://twitter.com/BillyBostickson) from Drastic - the Great Man (though i didn't know who he was at the time) Rabbit warrening - *lonely* is not the right word - a lot of it's exciting - some of it is very funny - but you are *alone* - in the warren. You lose touch with some stuff - it's normal. The wall of rejection/censorship when you try to share your findings - there's a reason why they call it *the wall.* (At first i couldn't work it out - why is the media refusing to report the story of the millennium when the facts are staring them in the face? Wouldn't that run against their instincts?) But that's ok, the thing about a challenge is you're not meant to be happy all the time - if you are - it's not a challenge. But you are *happy* knowing there's someone in the *real world* shining a light. With others - a hardworking network. Showing leadership/energy/positivity. People have different abilities to different extents - Billy is Olympic-standard at *light-shining* - right when the world needed it - when the people we had trusted to do it - the experts - were betraying that principle. Billy could retire tomorrow, play golf, grow tomatoes, history will immortalize him. Unless it turns out like the [edited CCP ending](https://twitter.com/henrysgao/status/1485271385568342018?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1485271385568342018%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.polygon.com%2F22899329%2Ffight-club-chinese-censorship-alternate-ending) to *Fight Club* - in which case he's fucked...

There's still been no open-investigation anywhere as to who is directing it or why. No-one has been held to account. The outright vilification of origin-researchers has dropped off though - skipped a beat as a sentiment - but barely - before re-deployment to the vaccine-hesitant. Meanwhile, the Covid Atrocity presents two challenges: 1. Expose the conspiracy to commit fraud 2. Prevent the desired outcomes of the frauders from becoming entrenched reality The second one is the hardest - the most important - the most urgent. It's no good proving Covid was a lab-exit if the perps get everything they wanted - more funding for a global bio-state - run by One-Everything. \* From humble beginnings of the 4 mutations to Covid *highly unlikely* (but *not impossible*) - Z*oonotic Origin* morphed (overnight) into *extremely likely* (World Health Organization Investigation into the Origin of Covid ruled (to the World) that non-zoonotic origin was *"extremely unlikely"* # Proximal Origin of SARS CoV-2 Of the two papers that fooled the world, the most important one[ was:](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9) [Proximal Origin](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9) of SARS-CoV-2. ![image-1642146270992.png](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/wgX-wLBXvYn6Q_RGvhafzilwyo3NPVIyv_xbXWLe-Y7jzrxVreeE7MvpGja3-bh4rSinh0j-qftz6JxRjQz8TTJ-6SE3HPxZlBxuQUcJc3edxGddGdJw-E5vkD0Fe1r3W_6BkTnUW84hdCiSmp0VK8Y) Aka the Pangolin Paper. We originally analyzed this paper in detail on [Formosa Hut in May 2020](http://formosahut.com/forum/index.php?id=2035) (which appears to be the first in-depth critique on the planet), but here's a Fast Facts recap: - It supplied the science basis for engineering the world-view of Covid’s origin - described by the the BBC as[ the definitive paper](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55364445) ruling out the possibility of a lab leak. - Pub: Mar 17, 2020 by[ Nature](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9) - Draft[ completed Feb 1](https://youtu.be/IxwrDSYrhjU?t=775) (according to one of its authors, Bob Garry), which is the date of *T*he Teleconference, & only one day after the authors reported that Covid *[looks engineered](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/books/the-covid-atrocity/page/jan-31-looks-engineered) -* which, considering the paper asserts the exact opposite, amounts to evidence of academic fraud. - Presented by Farrar/Andersen/Holmes at the [Feb 1 Teleconference](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/books/the-covid-atrocity/chapter/ch-5-feb-1-teleconference), where it supplied the backbone for discussions re formulating a plan to cover-up Covid's real origin. - Funded/supported by Wellcome & NIH[ (see acknowledgements)](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9#Ack1) - *Purpose written* to quell speculation of a lab leak. Andersen: If one of[ the main purposes of this document](https://usrtk.org/biohazards-blog/scientists-deliberations-on-sars-cov-2-origins/) is to counter those fringe theories, I think it’s very important that we do so strongly and in plain language. Which they did. Let's take a look at that language ... The premise: Horseshoe bats, possibly carrying RaTG13 collected from the Mojiang caves\*, Yunnan, & held at WIV, managed to infect a population of at least [ 21 caged Malayan pangolin](https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/11/11/979/htm?smid=nytcore-ios-share) such as those smuggled into Guangdong (1000 km away). [Lipkin, Feb 10, 2020:](https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/q-master-virus-hunter-and-contagion-adviser) The latest data suggest that an endangered mammal, the pangolin, may be the source of the new coronavirus. My colleagues and I have been working to shut down wildlife markets for decades. Perhaps the silver lining in this outbreak is that we finally get the traction needed to achieve this goal. The said pangolin were then transported to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan (1000 km another away), where they were slaughtered for sale. Before their deaths, the bat virus, now in the caged-pangolin on their way to market, is theorized by the authors to have pulled off[ an average of 50 years](https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2020/04/16/COVID-19-statement-professor-edward-holmes-sars-cov-2-virus.html) (according to Holmes - 20 years[ if you’re in a rush](https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2020/04/16/COVID-19-statement-professor-edward-holmes-sars-cov-2-virus.html)) of profound evolutionary change - within a few days!!! Smashing the authors' own time-frames, it somehow aced the ACE-2 spike protein barrier to human infectivity, which then resulted in patient zero at the market - as many early cases of COVID-19 were **linked to the Huanan** **(Seafood) ****market** in Wuhan. The Conclusion: [As such:](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9) Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus. .. (P)angolins...provide a much stronger and more parsimonious explanation of how SARS-CoV-2 acquired these .. RBD mutations (making it infectious to humans). Yeah, right. Despite it being known at the time (!) that: - pangolin are[ shy solitary creatures](https://www.savepangolins.org/what-is-a-pangolin) - not good vectors for pulling off Holmes’s 50 years of seismic mutations to go from closest (publicly) known bat genome - with no human transmission - to - the most contagious/deadly coronavirus in humans ever known to man. - Yes, pangolin were/are trafficked, but the window for evolution to work its magic is narrowed down to, evolutionarily speaking, the infinitesimal time frame of: captured/caged - shipped - killed - sold - with 100% mortality rate. How does 20-50 years of[ high-density](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9) living fit into that? Fits fine in a lab (as Garry himself concluded) - but with your pangolin smuggling/natural evolution story? - [no pangolin](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00364-2) were sold at the Nan Hua Seafood Market. - [no market animal](https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1189506.shtml) tested positive ([80 000+ tests later](https://www.modernhealthcare.com/technology/bat-cave-search-covids-origins-scientists-reignite-polarizing-debate-wuhan-lab-leak), no pangolin or bat has tested positive, anywhere in the world - finally mink caught it from humans) - [the first cases](https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally) weren’t from the market There’s your pangolin premise - collapsed in a heap - before it gets out of the starting gates. Pile on all the fancy science you like after that - it’s a moot point when the premise is: - wrong - It's quite likely that pangolin was an ingredient in an engineered Covid virus, but as [Garry himself said:](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/american-scientists-downplayed-covid-19-lab-leak-theory-private-emails) *I just can't figure out how this gets accomplished in nature*. Remember, this is not benefit-of-hindsight. The authors, of course, knew it was a whopper as they wrote it (see Andersen's infamous[ Looks Engineered](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/books/the-covid-atrocity/page/jan-31-looks-engineered) FOI email) - that's why they wrote it - but how did it go from there to: - peer reviewed - published by Nature - endorsed by the one-science community including all major journals, all top public health experts - blanket-reported in the media as officially[ debunking](https://www.smh.com.au/national/scientists-dispel-theory-covid-19-escaped-from-lab-20200424-p54mun.html) the lab-leak possibility - used as a basis for banning users from saying it looks engineered by Facebook. All of the above chose to ignore glaring errors in the fundamental details of the paper. Why? To perpetrate the greatest scientific fraud of all time. That makes them hands-on complicit in the Covid Atrocity. (\* RaTG13 has been theorized to be the bat virus involved in the Mojiang Cave incident, where workers collecting bat guava fell ill & died. Curiously, it was [dismissed](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55364445) by WIV/EHA as a coronavirus incident. I tend to agree with them. To this day, there's been no evidence of a bat virus ever directly infecting a human.) # The Pangolin Connection A deeper look at the pangolin connection: [Prox O:](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9) *Malayan pangolins illegally imported into Guangdong province contain coronaviruses similar to SARS-CoV-2 (ref 21) .. Although RaTG13 .. remains the closest to SARS-CoV-2, .. some pangolin coronaviruses exhibit strong similarity to SARS-CoV-2. .. This **clearly shows** that the SARS-CoV-2 .. is the result of natural selection.* I checked their ref for the *illegally imported* pangolin - it's [this paper](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.19.950253v1.full). Published Feb 20, 2020 Authors: Tao Zhang, Qunfu Wu, Zhigang Zhang, Chinese Academy of Science, Kunming, Yunan Interestingly, Garry says Prox O draft was finished by Feb 1 - so their key pangolin claim is reffed to a paper that hadn't been published at that stage - which suggests some communication with the above authors. Nothing wrong with that - just registering it. But the above paper is still not the source for *illegally imported* pangolin. In turn, that paper refs a [previous paper](https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/11/11/979/htm?smid=nytcore-ios-share) which conducted tests on 11 dead pangolin seized by customs. Authors: Ping Liu, Wu Chen 2 and **Jin-Ping Chen** (Institute of Zoology, Guangdong Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou) Received: 30 September 2019 / Revised: 21 October 2019 / Accepted: 21 October 2019 / Published: **24 October 2019** The dates are interesting. Nobody was studying pangolin viruses - the authors talk about how neglected they were as a topic - suddenly a paper appears - right in the Covid-emergence-timeframe. [Jin-ping Chen et al:](https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/11/11/979/htm?smid=nytcore-ios-share) *Recently, the prediction of viral zoonosis epidemics has become a major public health issue... **Malayan pangolins could be another host with the potential of transmitting the SARS coronavirus to humans.*** Remember, this is Oct 21, 2019, pre-Covid's emergence being public. Either they were incredibly prescient - to the point that the Covid outbreak happened within days of their prediction, or .... this was part of the set-up. Then there's this: Jin-Ping Chen had previously collabed on [this paper](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC4036550/) in 2014: *Evidence for Retrovirus and Paramyxovirus Infection of Multiple Bat Species in China* Pub: 2014 Get a load of the authors on that: Lihong Yuan, Min Li, Linmiao Li, Corina Monagin, Aleksei A. **Chmura**, Bradley S. **Schneider**, Jonathan H. **Epstein**, Xiaolin Mei, **Zhengli Shi**, **Peter Daszak**, and **Jinping Chen** Three are from EHA, plus Schneider, a frequent EHA collaborator - with Shi Zhengli from WIV. What does that prove? Not much, apart from what we already knew - the Bat Pack behind Prox O and The Lancet statement are as thick as thieves. It's another tantalizing coincidence. We know Prox O was purpose written to counter the conspiracy theorists coz [the authors tell us that](https://usrtk.org/biohazards-blog/scientists-deliberations-on-sars-cov-2-origins/) straight out. In the desperate scramble to create a zoonotic narrative, was this orginal pangolin paper also purpose written - or more likely, co-opted and re-edited - to fit the scenario? # The Authors My name is Dulan Drift - i am a ***conspiracy theorist***. According to my research, the following men ***conspired*** to fabricate the Pangolin Paper to cover-up the origin of the Covid Atrocity: Kristian Andersen. Edward Holmes, Robert Garry, Andrew Rambaut, Ian Lipkin The web they weave: - All friends - regularly collaborating with each other - All have a hotline to Nature for whatever they want published - Funded by Wellcome (VIZIONS), NIH, US Military, CCP - Genomic surveillance advocates - Deep CCP-ties - All knowingly lied to deceive the world about the origin of Covid - to serve their own financial/power interests They are big accusations - I'm confident i can prove it. # Andrew Rambaut [![image-1643531276402.png](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/scaled-1680-/image-1643531276402.png)](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-01/image-1643531276402.png) [Man of Mystery!](https://royalsociety.org/science-events-and-lectures/2012/epidemiology-infectious-disease/) All the others have put themselves out there to pump the paper - but Rambaut stayed in the shadows. That's intriguing. As a *next generation* computer-whiz, he has gone to some length to conceal his image. If you look at his Twitter account, which he doesn't use, you'd think he was the most handsome of the lot. But it's not him. Whereas Lipkin was bursting at the seams with on-the-record blabbering, Rambaut likes his privacy. That's fine, but as a key ingredient of the Prox-O-5, you're famous for all time Andrew - whether you like it or not. You can still judge a man by the company he keeps - [Oxford](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/books/the-covid-atrocity/page/the-oxford-old-boys-club) - specifically Nuffield Department.[ DPhil from Oxford in 1997](https://royalsociety.org/science-events-and-lectures/2012/epidemiology-infectious-disease/) places him there at the same time as brothers-in-arms Farrar, Gao, Holmes, Worobey, Horby, et al.

[Here's a quote](http://formosahut.com/forum/index.php?id=2039) from what i wrote, May 18, 2020 on Fomosahut (the **first publication in the world** to drill-down on the Prox-O authors, sfaik): Along with Holmes and Rambaut, Andersen is a genomic surveillance enthusiast: *"We urge those working on infectious disease to focus funds and efforts on a much simpler and more cost-effective way to mitigate outbreaks — [proactive, real-time surveillance of human populations](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05373-w)."* Andersen works for Scripps Research Institute. Scripps was in financial trouble [hemorrhaging 20 mil a year.](https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/science/sdut-scripps-research-money-2016may27-story.html) But just when the first virus cases were emerging, they received great news. They issued a press release **Nov 27, 2019**: *“Scripps Research and Shenzhen Bay Laboratory (China) today announced a [trans-Pacific chemical biology research collaboration](https://www.scripps.edu/news-and-events/press-room/2019/20191127-szbl-collaboration.html) that combines the expertise of both institutions.”* Presumably the financial expertise was more from the Chinese side of the equation. Shenzhen City Council and Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School are backing the venture. *"Several Scripps Research chemical biology faculty will establish joint laboratories at Shenzhen Bay Laboratory with research areas including synthetic chemistry, natural products, glycobiology, chemical genetics, proteomics and other critical areas of chemical biology.* *"Shenzhen Bay Laboratory (SZBL) is a recently established Guangdong Provincial Laboratory located in the heart of China’s Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay area. SZBL strives to become a hub for world-class research at the forefront of health science and innovation, spurring novel solutions to the grand issues challenging mankind."* So to break that down: a new bio-tech lab set up in the Hong Kong vicinity with the Hong Kong protest in full swing - in partnership with a financially flailing research institute, whose head scientist is a cheer-leader for genomic surveillance - funded with money from the CCP - in late Nov 2019. No - nothing fishy about that at all! Scripps also promotes remdesivir which was also endorsed by WIV.

You’re thinking Fauci - yes of course he’s right up there - but the man who took the reins - in a crisis - brought it all together is: [Sir Jemery Farrar](https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/20793561/leopold-nih-foia-anthony-fauci-emails.pdf) - - [Liaised with the Prox O authors](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9#Ack1) - close friends with Holmes and Rambaut - both regularly funded by Wellcome - Convened/chaired the Feb 1 teleconference - where Prox O's pangolin scam formed the backbone of discussions - O*n-sold-it* Feb 2 in a teleconference to Tedros Doesn’t seem like a long rap-sheet - but these were crucial plays - without which - none of this could have happened. The Feb 1 Teleconference was in essence - The bosses - Farrar/Fauci/Collins - meeting with their highest paid pets. [Prox O A*cknowledgments* section:](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9#Ack1) *We thank M. Farzan for discussions, and the **Wellcome Trust for support**.* Farrar sees himself, as others do, as indeed he is: a PR genius. An ahead-of-the-curve calculator - decisive - man of action - not afraid to think big. Not afraid to act big. This was Jeremy’s time to shine. For* the public good*. Once you make that decision - the truth - no longer matters - you prosecute your case the same way a good lawyer would. # The Greatest Academic Fraud of all Time Fast Factoids:[ Proximal Origin](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9) of SARS-CoV-2: - displays a beautiful irony in it’s title - was, according to the authors,[ purpose-written](https://youtu.be/IxwrDSYrhjU?t=784) to quell* conspiracy theories* around a possible lab-leak (theories[ originated by Chinese netizens](https://www.businessinsider.com.au/wechat-users-posted-coronavirus-before-china-confirmed-cases-2020-2), btw - was[ funded by](https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2020/03/26/genomic-research-points-to-natural-origin-of-covid-19/comment-page-1/) NIH/Francis Collins (H3Africa co-funder) and [Wellcome](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9#Ack1) (Farrar) - draft,[ according to Garry](https://youtu.be/IxwrDSYrhjU?t=775), *was complete .. ****Feb 1st*** - same date as authors held[ strategy-session conference call](http://formosahut.com/forum/index.php?id=2947) with Farrar and Fauci. (Flashback: On **Jan 31**, Andersen (lead author) emailed Farrar/Fauci/Collins saying[ *it looks engineered*](https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/20793561/leopold-nih-foia-anthony-fauci-emails.pdf). That means -* literally overnight* - the authors changed their thinking 180 degrees, then re-researched/re-wrote/re-edited to - *first draft *- delivered (at MOU’s Feb 1 teleconference) a paper that *clearly show(s)*[ *SARS-CoV-2 is ****not***](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9) *a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus*.) - Or …they made it up. 1707 citations so far - mostly positive ones. An altmetric score of[ 36,768](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9) - which blows the[ previous world record](https://www.altmetric.com/top100/home/about/) of 11,980 out of the water. Once Prox O breaks new ground as *Exhibit A* in the cover-up - which it’s about to - all bets are off [mega-platformed](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/07/pangolins-might-have-spread-coronavirus-to-humans) (via Nature, Guardian, CNN et al media) the pangolin/wetmarket discourse to *irrefutably show* Covid couldn’t possibly be a lab-leak. All this In *the *crucial nascent period. Where if we’d known it was a GoFFed-up lab bug on the loose - we could have reacted accordingly. But wait - there’s a silver lining!
