Coronavirus was created in an American Lab in 2015

Almost six years ago, in 2015, a little known scientist Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina in America created a virus in his laboratory. In his paper, which was published in the renowned medical journal Nature Medicine on November 9, 2015, Baric said the virus had a surface protein of the SHC014 Coronavirus and during his laboratory tests, mice developed human-like acute respiratory syndrome. This hybrid virus could infect human airway cells, Baric said in his paper.

Six years later Corona virus is now on a killing spree. As many as 97,039 people are already dead and 6,17,294 are infected all over the world as on Friday (10.04.2020). In USA 4,69,218 people have been infected and 16,693 have died. In India, 896 new cases were reported on Friday – the highest so far – and 206 are already dead. The death toll is rising sharply. The economy is devastated. Worried experts fear that millions might die not only of Coronavirus infection but also of hunger. 

Warnings Ignored

A few months before Baric created the deadly virus, a group of scientists had met at U.S. National Academy of Sciences to discuss the risks and benefits of such dangerous virus experiments, which were mostly being funded by the US military. There was a furious debate. A large number of prominent scientists expressed concern that a dangerous virus could accidentally escape the laboratory and cause a pandemic, killing millions all over the world. The US government stopped research of 18 projects mostly on influenza, MERS, and SARS.

Baric’s experiments on Coronavirus, however, continued. The US National Institute of Health argued that his study on coronavirus had begun before the moratorium was announced by the government. So his work did not fall under the new restrictions.    

Baric had argued that his research was necessary for vaccine and drug studies. Nature magazine, where Baric’s research paper was published, however, felt that his results demonstrated the ability of the SHC014 surface protein to bind and infect human cells, validating concerns that this virus—or other coronaviruses found in bat species—might be capable of making the leap to people without first evolving in an intermediate host. “If the [new] virus escaped, nobody could predict the trajectory,” Simon Wain-Hobson, a virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, told Nature.

Biological Weapon

Coronavirus is a biological weapon. Greg Rubini, a US intelligence expert, said Coronavirus “was genetically engineered as a Bio-Weapon at the University of North Carolina BSL-3 Lab.” According to him, the virus was spread from North Carolina to China, Italy and in the US.

However, how it travelled from USA to China, where the pandemic is said to have originated, is still being debated. According to Professor Francis Boyle, who drafted the US Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, Coronavirus is indeed a genetically engineered biological weapon. It was stolen by Chinese scientists, taken to a BSL-4 laboratory in Wuhan. It accidentally leaked from there, Boyle said.

Crimson Contagion

Was the American government aware that Coronavirus was likely to hit USA? The US government had conducted three drills – the last one as late as between January and August, 2019 – to prepare the country for a possible pandemic. Code named “Crimson Contagion,” the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services closed schools and offices in 12 states and took stock of equipment and medicines.

The draft report, marked “Not to be Disclosed,” laid out in stark detail repeated cases of “confusion” in the exercise. During the drill, Federal agencies fought with each other over who was in charge.  Donald Trump initially dismissed Coronavirus as insignificant that would soon be under control but then changed his mind and claimed that he had known all along that a pandemic was coming. Trump’s flip-flop and the US government’s failure to prevent the pandemic in spite of the Crimson Contagion drill still remains unexplained.

Elites knew

In 2015 multibillionaire Bill Gates had warned about the possibility of a global epidemic and had said that countries were not ready for it. Bill Gates pointed out that a global disaster would not look like a nuclear war, it would take the form of a pandemic.

At the end of 2018 Gates again expressed his fears about the new epidemic and even named its source – China. He also suggested that the ‘Chinese virus’ would kill about 33 million people worldwide.

Gates is known as a proponent of population reduction.  The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded the British Pirbright Institute, which in 2015 filed for a patent for a living coronavirus, which was approved in 2018.

US Senators Richard Burr and Kelly Loeffler sold millions in stock before the Coronavirus outbreak crushed the markets. Both are members of the Senate Health Committee. Richard Burr is chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The husband of Senator Loeffler – Jeffrey Sprecher – is chairman of the New York Stock Exchange.

All governments fund their militaries to research new weapons including biological weapons. All wars benefit big corporates and multinationals and use poor common people as cannon fodder. Coronavirus is killing the people and destroying their lives. How long will this continue?
