Definition of a bioweapon revisited
This post is my attempt to add clarity to some questions surrounding Covid-19. While I hope you will agree with some points I make, I expect many of you will disagree with some of my thoughts. That’s fine! Feel free to share your opinions in the comments.
China is Not the Only Country to Blame for COVID-19
The official pronouncements from the US government agencies are changing towards agreeing that Sars-Cov-2 came from a Chinese lab.
While I always believed that Sars-Cov-2 was engineered, the recent “lab leak” disclosures are mostly due to geopolitics.
Recently, the US/China relationship experienced a new level of tension. The US supports the de-facto independence of Taiwan, which China considers a breakaway province. The United States sells weapons to Taiwan. So mad was China about recent sales of US weapons to Taiwan that it is considering “supplying lethal weapons to Russia.”
Such supplies can make a big difference in the outcome of the Ukraine conflict. China can, therefore, influence the course of the war.
China is an industrial giant compared to Russia or the USA. China produces over 900 million tons of steel annually, compared to 87 million tons per year in the USA or 76 million tons produced in Russia. China uses the same calibers (152mm) for artillery ammunition as Russia. Therefore, Russia can easily use Chinese artillery shells and other armaments.
Understandably, the United States is looking for ways to deter China. Accusing China of being the sole cause of the Covid pandemic is a convenient way to apply pressure on Beijing.
Suggestions of “Chinese lab origin” upset China to no end.
In addition, these government agencies are trying to distract us from their contributions to reckless viral experiments that brought us Sars-Cov-2.
While China played a significant role in the origin of Covid-19, it was not the sole cause of the pandemic. The development of Sars-Cov-2 spanned several continents. Watch this video from yesterday where Dr. Redfield explains to congressmen that the NIH, the DoD, and the State Department financed Sars-Cov-2 development.
Covid-19 is Not Just a Cold
Many skeptics are convinced that Covid-19 is “just a cold” and refer to incorrect medical protocols used by certain Western countries to explain the excess mortality we experienced before vaccines.
I am not a doctor. I agree that possibly the treatment protocols were not right. And yet, numerous countries worldwide that did not use those protocols also experienced excess mortality in 2020. I selected several poor countries to compare with the United States and the UK: Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Belarus, Guatemala, and Uzbekistan. These countries did not have the resources to hospitalize all very sick people. I would guess that many Covid patients in such countries died at home without access to hospital care.
President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko was against Covid countermeasures and lockdowns, and as you can see, his country had excess mortality in 2020.
Something made people die in Guatemala, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Russia, etc., in 2020. It was not the vaccines or midazolam for their residents. It was Covid.
While better medications could have reduced mortality, the above countries prove that Sars-Cov-2 is a pathogenic virus that killed people in 2020.
Again, I do not want to make any medical judgment on hospital protocols in the USA or the UK. I wanted to highlight poor countries with different political systems and lower medical standards, which also experienced excess mortality due to Covid alone.
Is SARS-CoV-2 a Bioweapon?
Many assert that “maybe it was a lab leak, but it was not a bioweapon,” without fully understanding the term's meaning. The definition of a biological weapon is very expansive:
There is no definitional requirement that a "biological weapon” should kill everyone or even most infected persons. It is enough that the pathogen kills some persons. There is also no requirement that a biological weapon is part of a declared war or is released purely for military purposes.
If Sars-Cov-2 was produced deliberately to cause human disease and deaths in some individuals, it is a bioweapon. So, we need to ask, was Sars-Cov-2 produced deliberately?
While we still have a lot to learn, all indications are that Sars-Cov-2 was not a result of an unlucky random lab experiment.
Much money was asked for and spent to work on Sars-Cov-2. For some more details of its engineered features, check this out:
Was Sars-Cov-2 released deliberately? We need to learn more before we can answer this question with complete certainty.
However, this is what we know:
In Sep 2019, Bill Gates made a serendipitous investment into BioNTech, which had never produced a working vaccine before. His charity made over 1.5 billion dollars during the pandemic when BioNTech became the world’s largest Covid vaccine producer (of Pfizer vaccine) a year later.
During the same September of 2019, three strange things happened in Wuhan, China. The Wuhan Institute of Virology deleted all viral sequences, switched to military leadership, and started unusual infrastructure upgrades.
Dr. Robert Redfield, the former CDC Director, talks about three suspicious events that took place at the Wuhan lab in September 2019: "In Sept. 2019, three things happened in that lab. One is they deleted the sequences. Highly irregular, researchers don't like to do that. The… https://t.co/YjHfyEok1gThe NIH strangely worked on a “novel coronavirus vaccine” in July 2019
In Oct 2019, a suspiciously well-timed “Event 201” planned actions for a “fictional” coronavirus pandemic. Event 201 included representatives from the World Economic Forum, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, China CDC, and Avril Haines, representing the US intelligence community. Much planning was devoted to “countering misinformation.” The global pandemic response three months later was quite in line with such plans.
All of the above suggests, while not rising to the level of “smoking gun” evidence, that the pandemic was expected and planned, and the pathogen was intentionally designed.
If so, Sars-Cov-2 is a bioweapon by definition.
Fitting the definition of a “bioweapon” may not be as big of a deal as some make it sound. It does not mean that it will kill all of us. It just means that Sars-Cov-2 is pathogenic, was developed intentionally, and its release was planned for.
How to Prevent the Next Pandemic
Designing a pandemic pathogen that would infect the entire world, including the animal world, and keep reinfecting people is not easy. The creators of Sars-Cov-2 succeeded brilliantly.
Some people won and made a lot of money. Many more people lost something. Millions died. Some suffer from the consequences of their Covid infections, some from adverse effects of Covid vaccines, and some lost money or businesses due to lockdowns.
Millions of people lost their jobs and livelihoods due to vaccine mandates, imposed thanks to lobbying by those who profited from the pandemic and which benefited their well-timed Covid vaccine investments.
Millions of older people spent their recent years in their apartments, scared to come out and socialize. Those are also victims of reckless virological experiments.
Covid is stronger than us and will remain with us for a long time. So will its consequences.
Some people ask, “how do we prevent the next pandemic”?
My answer is: to prevent the next pandemic, punish those who started and profited from this pandemic.
