Of the two papers that fooled the world, the most important one was:

Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2.

Aka the Pangolin Paper.

Fast Facts:

• It supplied the science basis for engineering the world-view of Covid’s origin. 

• TheDescribed by the the BBC described it as the definitive paper ruling out the possibility of a lab leak.

• Pub: Mar 17, 2020 by Nature (draft
• Draft completed Feb 1 (according to one of its authors, Bob Garry) - the date of Tthehe teleconferenceTeleconference - where it was presented by Farrar/Andersen/Holmes -& supplied the backbone for discussions)discussions at that meeting re the cover-up of Covid's real origin

• Funded/supported by Wellcome & NIH (see acknowledgements)

• Purpose written to quell speculation of a lab leak

If one of the main purposes of this document 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, (Mojiang cave incident, Yunnan*) managed to infect a population of at least  21 caged Malayan pangolin such as those smuggled into Guangdong (1000 km away). (*dismissed by WIV/EHA as a coronavirus incident)

Lipkin, Feb 10, 2020: 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 non-shiny lining of course being millions of deaths - the evaporation of human freedoms.

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 death, the bat virus is theorized by the authors to have pulled off an average of 50 years (according to Holmes - 20 years if you’re in a rush) of profound evolutionary change - where only that exact alignment in time of freak changes will work. In the caged pangolin environment, it aced the ACE-2 spike protein barrier to human infectivity - resulting in patient zero at the market - as many early cases of COVID-19 were linked to the Huanan (Seafood) market in Wuhan - then:

• patient whatever-many million we’re up to now.

• all our freedoms being vacuumed up.

• the science in charge.

The Conclusion:

As such: 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 the virus originated through natural selection.

Yeah, right.

Despite it being known at the time (!) that:

• pangolin are shy solitary creatures - 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 living fit into that? Fits fine in a lab - but with your pangolin smuggling/natural evolution story?

• no pangolin were sold at the Nan Hua Seafood Market. 

• no market animal tested positive (80 000+ tests later, no pangolin or bat has tested positive, anywhere in the world - finally mink caught it from humans)

• the first cases 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    -

sorry to say.

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 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 - who took over our lives

• blanket-reported in the media as officially debunking 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.
