Sensible Article on SARS-Cov-2 Origins

Good read, and the pieces do fit.

The Chinese were studying Coronaviruses in bats because of their brush with the original SARS.

They found some other bat viruses with the now famous spike protein that likes human cells.

They blundered in their handling of the virus in the lab because some of the people were closer to untrained peasants than BSL-4 certified technicians.

Too much loss of face to the Chinese if they admit this.

So stupidity, not malice, behind this.

We all can believe what we want as the CHICOMS will never tell us the truth. I believe they unleashed a BIO Weapon on the world to point out how powerful they were and that the world better march in lock step with them. Like I said we can all believe in what we want. I'm sure that a government agency has figured it out but can't release it. One can look at the death rate among Asians in the Western World if they really want to. In my county of 4.7 million people Asians have the lowest death rate per percent of population caused by Covid 19. Like I said we will never know.

article condensed from a book,

timeline seems accurate, if we can believe any previous info,

seems like a lot of 'i told you so' in it as well,

To the best of my knowledge, there has not been a case of first-use of a biological weapon in modern times unless the side using it already had a vaccine. The Chinese would be fools to release Covid 19 when they didn't have a vaccine.

Do you really think the Chicoms care about the lives of their subjects?

They care about their OWN lives -- heads of state are not immune to Covid 19.

Bio engineered to affect others not them. I'm a ICBM guy not a Bio Engineer but who knows if its possible.

Nature's biolabs far exceed our own as incubators for a diverse array of viruses.

BTW, obesity has stuck out as a prime risk factor for covid-19 mortality. Asians are less affected by this condition compared to other groups in the West.

[m1ashooter]

Very true.

Can you engineer an ICBM to kill all the non-communists in a city, but not the communists? Neither can you engineer a virus that will only affect the people you don't like and leave those you do like immune.

Maybe you can Vern. We will never know will we.

if you follow Sci Fi, the answer is no,

read Frank Herbert's The White Plague

That's pretty vague. Like the old, "we don't know what's out there" when referring to visits from space aliens.
