Feb 1-2 Teleconferences - Outcomes
The first thing to note is that after the Feb 1 Teleconference it seems everybody was in agreement that a lab-exit from Wuhan was the most likely scenario. Andersen, Holmes, and Garry had concluded that it looks engineered, while Farrar noted that engineering had primed the virus for human contagion.
Farrar: A likely explanation (involves) accidently (sic) creating a virus that would be primed for rapid transmission between humans.
That's an astounding admission from someone who would lead the charge to vilify the conspiracy theorists. Not only did Farrar think/know it had escaped from a lab - he thought it was the result of a GoF experiment that had primed the virus for rapid transmission between humans.
Farrar: I just can’t figure out how this gets accomplished in nature.
Neither can I. What Farrar did figure out though was how to cover it up.
So what was the “agreement on the next steps” engineered by Farrar in those crucial meetings? Here's what we know:
Action: Launch Proximal Origin through Nature multiplied by Lancet Statement.
Goal: Present a united front work department of the world’s leading experts - to support the CCP’s version of the virus’s origin/save Genomics/One Health/WHO/NIH/ourselves.
Responsibility: Prox O: Farrar, Andersen, Holmes, Garry, Rambaut, Lipkin - Ian couldn’t be with us of course - he’s currently in China talking to Li Kechiang - so doing his bit. He’s agreed to come in as the Celebrity-Scientist salesman direct from his fact-hiding mission to China. He’ll be our public voice.
LanceS: Farrar, Koopmans with Daszak/EcoHealth
Note: Farrar/Fauci/Collins to liaise with Nature/Lancet/media re platforming
Action: Praise the CCP’s response/transparency
Goal: Shield CCP - and ourselves - to save One Health
Resp: Farrar, Lipkin, Daszak, Holmes, Andersen, WHO
Action: Vilify anyone asking questions as a crackpot conspiracy theorist - de-platform them.
Goal: Marginalize those looking to uncover the truth. Control the narrative.
Resp: All. Farrar/Fauci/Collins to liaise with media/big-tech owners re censoring.
Action: Say we want to take the politics out whilst praising CCP’s science-based approach. Emphasise the sovereign authority of the science - which we will control through PO and LS.
Goal: Remove any politics - except for our own
Resp: All. Fauci/Farrar/Lipkin will coordinate this tactic with CCP (Gao/KeChiang).
Action: Call for more funding, pump up fear of the Next Disease X.
Goal: Get more money! Entrench.
Resp: WHO (Ryan), EcoHealth/Daszak, Holmes, Lipkin (13:20)
Action: Focus on vaccine development as the cure
Goal: Boost our vaccine-focused industry - give us control of the solution.
Resp: Fauci, Farrar, Collins Drosten
Action: Downplay the severity of Covid. Say it’s not as bad as SARS/seasonal flu
Goal: ? *
Action: Advise (non-Chinese) people not to wear masks
Goal: ? *
Resp: (Farrar/SAGE, Fauci, Lipkin (TS32:30), Tedros/WHO)
Action: Keep borders with China open as long as possible
Goal: ? *
Resp: Farrar/SAGE, Fauci, WHO
Action: Distribute a Covid testing system - that we know doesn't work.
Goal: ?*
Resp: Collins/Fauci/NIH (TS:1:58)
* The last four intrigue me. If you wanted Covid to explode - that is exactly what you would do: It’s not serious, don’t wear masks, keep international travel pumping, introduce a useless test.
If making sure the Covid genie got out of the bottle was the plan, it worked a treat.
This adds a new level of potential culpability: it's one thing to activate a cover-up - to protect the One Health/CCP Genomics/GoF vision - but did our scientist MOU's deliberately make it worse in order to carpe diem that goal?
Interestingly, from very early on, the CCP’s official line was listen to the scientific experts. They’ve stuck to that pact consistently throughout.
Liu Pengyu, US Chinese embassy: We have been supporting science-based efforts on origins tracing, and will continue to stay actively engaged. That said, we firmly oppose attempts to politicise this issue.
That indicates the above tactics were co-ordinated.
The fix was in from the beginning.
