# Oxford

The true horror of Covid is that the publicly funded academic institutions that we were relying on to tell the truth, played leadership roles in spreading lies.

# The Oxford Old Boys' Club

<span style="font-weight: 400;">What do George Gao (Gao Fu - 高福, China DCD Director), Jeremy Farrar, Eddie Holmes, Andrew Rambaut (Prox O), and Michael Worobey have in common - apart from the obvious - that they were all key figures in prosecuting the PR war against lab-leak speculation?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">They were all Oxford and/or Wellcome buddies together in the 90’s. </span>

[<span style="font-weight: 400;">George Gao:</span>](https://www.ae-info.org/ae/Member/Gao_George_Fu)<span style="font-weight: 400;"> 1991-2004</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Jeremy Farrar: 1994-present</span>

[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Eddie Holmes:</span>](https://www.sydney.edu.au/AcademicProfiles/profile/resource?urlid=edward.holmes&type=cv)<span style="font-weight: 400;"> 1994-2004 </span>

[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Andrew Rambaut:</span>](https://royalsociety.org/science-events-and-lectures/2012/epidemiology-infectious-disease/)<span style="font-weight: 400;"> 199?-1997</span>

[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Michael Worobey</span>](https://eeb.arizona.edu/person/michael-worobey)<span style="font-weight: 400;">\*: 1997-2003</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">(\*Worobey attempted to mount a rescue mission for the failing natural zoonosis theory when he published his </span>[<span style="font-weight: 400;">silly </span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;">Patient-Zero</span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;"> paper</span>](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abm4454)<span style="font-weight: 400;"> claiming the first infection was a person who attended the market in early Dec. Nobody, </span>[<span style="font-weight: 400;">not even CCP officials</span>](https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1189506.shtml)<span style="font-weight: 400;">, think</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Covid began in early Dec. Frighteningly, Worobey got the usual </span>[<span style="font-weight: 400;">blanket media promotion</span>](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abm4454)<span style="font-weight: 400;"> for this fringe-theory claim which was platformed by </span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;">Science</span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;"> - one of the advantages of being part of a powerful Oxford old boys’ clique. You say it - doesn’t matter how illogical - they publish it - like it’s the </span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;">word of God</span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;">.)</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">All of the above cohorters remain good friends to this day. Together they leveraged their enormous power to plot, then prosecute the cover-up. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Oxford appears to be HQ for the Covid Atrocity - but it doesn't stop there. Each of these actors have close friendships with other key experts from around the world who were integrally involved. For example, Holmes and Rambaut are regular collaborators with Kristian Andersen, who is good friends with Garry. Farrar is good friends with Francis Collins and Fauci. George Gao, in particular, is a very friendly guy:</span>

[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Lipkin (Prox O) 27:40:</span>](http://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-special-lipkin/)*<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I have so </span>****many close friends in China*** *<span style="font-weight: 400;">who</span>* ***I care about****<span style="font-weight: 400;"> and who </span>****care about me****<span style="font-weight: 400;"> and - you know - when you </span>****break bread****<span style="font-weight: 400;"> with somebody over a period of </span>****17 years****<span style="font-weight: 400;"> ..I’m </span>****confident*** *<span style="font-weight: 400;">that if I hear</span>* ***something****<span style="font-weight: 400;"> from..(others &amp;) </span>****George Gao****<span style="font-weight: 400;"> - they’re telling me what they know. </span>*

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Great. So you all knew what George knew, right?</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> As George is head of China CDC - that's everything there was to know. How about release that scientific correspondence? Assuming you're all telling the truth it will help to restore the public's waning faith in the science experts! But you'll never do that, will you? Why not?  
</span>

# George & Jeremy

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The George Gao/Sir Jeremy relationship runs deep. The world’s two most influential Covid narrators are </span>[*<span style="font-weight: 400;">old friend</span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;">s</span>](https://www.happyscribe.com/public/desert-island-discs/professor-sir-jeremy-farrar#paragraph_303?utm_source=public_transcript&utm_medium=highlight_copy&utm_campaign=public_promo)<span style="font-weight: 400;">. Naturally, Farrar was </span>[<span style="font-weight: 400;">communicating with Gao</span>](https://www.happyscribe.com/public/desert-island-discs/professor-sir-jeremy-farrar#paragraph_303?utm_source=public_transcript&utm_medium=highlight_copy&utm_campaign=public_promo)<span style="font-weight: 400;"> in the nascent stages of Covid. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Farrar says the first he heard about it was Dec 31, but i don’t believe it. That’s two weeks after Lipkin first heard. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Take a glance at the entwined paths as you scroll through to the discussion below. Within Oxford, the Nuffield Department features prominently - that's where the real magic happened. Bear in mind this is **not** a </span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;">7-steps to Kevin Bacon</span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;"> exercise - it’s zero steps to a CCP superstar at the heart of Covid. </span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;">  
</span>*

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Note: </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The table is focused on the two king pins, George &amp; Jeremy, but Eddie Everywhere </span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;">slips his way</span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;"> in like a good footballer - can’t </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">keep him out of the game. </span>

[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Radio Free Asia:</span>](https://www.rfa.org/english/news/uyghur/trade-11182020153703.html) *<span style="font-weight: 400;">A hospital for infectious diseases in Aksu (in Chinese, Akesu), in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), has been turned into an internment camp as part of what some experts believe could be a system for</span>* ***harvesting organs****<span style="font-weight: 400;"> from detainees.</span>*

*<span style="font-weight: 400;">Last week, Omar Bahtiyar Omar (director Norway-based Uyghur Transitional Justice Database) pointed out imagery that showed a large cemetery located within a kilometer of the two camps .. which was later confirmed by RFA to be a </span>****crematorium*** *<span style="font-weight: 400;">built in </span>****2017****<span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span>*
