Thank-you Lancet Statement
If you're tracing back to the origin of the Covid Cover-up, you wind up with two documents: The Lancet Statement and Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2. They are kinda special for me coz they were my entry point into seriously investigating the origin of Covid.
Dan started a thread on Formosahut about nCov on Jan 24 - we began noticing/recording some anomalies. I mentioned this with an Aus scientist I was on good terms with.
The reaction was bristling - that took me aback - slightly. I sent a Feb 23 story from the Taipei Times on a scientists' symposium raising the possibility of an engineered virus lab accident.
The email back was:
The experts don't believe in conspiracy
link to the The Lancet Statement.
I read it - gob-smackedly - 27 world-leading experts saying scientists from a CCP-run bio-defense/weapons lab were open and transparent.
The language, was weirdly over-the-top - condemning conspiracy theorists - raving about unity/solidarity. With who? Totalitarianism?
Yeah - no.
Having lived in Taiwan most of my adult-life, next-door to China, I tried to convey, as an expert, the little known fact amongst scientists that China is run by a totalitarian regime called the CCP. Who are open and transparent about not being open and transparent. Meaning the 27-experts were making a fundamental mistake in their reasoning.
Begging the question: Why?
The response was an animated cartoon praising China's transparency/response/lockdown mentality - ridiculing the US (literally made by the CCP - disturbingly, now that i check, platformed/plugged by the ABC. More than 2 years later - there's still no evidence of the ABC having done an investigative piece on the origin of the biggest story of our lifetimes. What does that mean?)
laterLater i got an article about a 5-G protest.
Then banned from talking about Covid. The End.
By this point though, i knew this new virus was a lab-leak. That was exciting.
I also knew that the science community was aggressively trying to cover it up, attackattacking curious people.
There was/is no other reason for scientists to be issuing blatantly unscientific statements:
- must be: lying - so: why?
Welcome to The Rabbit Warren
All ye who enter here:here - good burrowing
I checked a paper that the Lancet Statement cited in support of its premise - it was called Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2.
In it, there were further clues of non-truths that supported the conclusion this Nature paper was a purpose written no-lab-leak PR offensive.
Started researching/writing/discussing Prox O on Formosahut with Dan Don't know how many drill-down referenced analyses of Prox O there were at that time - not many - none that i saw - by world-leading scientists or not.
It was quickly clear the science 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 - the recess of the recesses of the internet. Privately i was trying to alert many media outlets about Ian Lipkin - getting only robo-responses.
- Out of the blue -
an intrepid Covid-origin researcher made contact. I knew he was intrepid coz no-one else had done it. That was:
@Billy Bostickson from Drastic.
If i'd've known who he was i could have said Sir Monkey i presume.
Rabbit warrening - lonely is not the right word - but you are alone - in the warren - you lose touch with some stuff - it's normal.
So you're happy there's someone out there in the real world shining a light. People have different abilities to different extents, but Billy is Olympic-standard at light-shining.
The censorship on talking about the origin of Covid persists to this day.
The outright vilification has dropped off - though barely- skipped a beat as a sentiment - but barely - before re-deployment to the vaccine-hesitant.
