The WHO has agreed to conduct an “independent” probe into the Chinese Coronavirus.

WHO agrees to virus probe after Australia push

By 9News Staff 6:59am May 19, 2020

Australia’s push for an independent inquiry into the coronavirus pandemic has been vindicated globally with widespread backing of the probe, including from China.

More than 110 countries at the World Health Assembly backed a resolution calling for an impartial, independent and comprehensive evaluation of the international response to the pandemic.

WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus promised a review would come “at the earliest appropriate moment”.

The abrupt switch to enthusiastic Chinese and WHO support for an independent inquiry raises obvious concerns. China and the WHO might not be the only groups sitting on potentially embarrassing information.

I do hope that as an important part of the investigation the question will be asked how and why the policy of enforced, terribly destructive industrial lock-downs became the norm in practically the whole world.

I believe these will eventually be proved unnecessary. Just advising people to self-isolate and not to travel would have been sufficient.

Hey Mr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (Jheb-breh-uiesus (Jesus). As best I can “phonetically” type it) hows poverty and hunger in your home country of Ethiopia going?

In the live news at RT 2020-05-20 11:00 GMT:
The high court in Paris has denied the French police using drones to survey people in the streets.

For a while the police has used drones with loudspeakers and cameras to get people off the nearly empty streets and back into their private cells (homes).

It was a group fighting for freedom, who brought the case for the court and won today.
The downside is that the police continue their unconstitutional use of drones in other large cities in France.

The other bad news is that the way WHO and the politicians inter-distance people, the immune defense is likely to be severely damaged. (Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi)

Of course there are extremely embarrassing facts, for the US and France :
P4 Wuhan, a French inquiry :

CS-2 is an artificially created “chimeric, Gain of Function” virus … a franken virus probably created at the Wuhan BSL-4 Lab partly operating under a US grant. It is guaranteed this part of the COVID-19 pandemic will not be investigated by China, te US or the WHO

NEWSWEEK Headline 28 April 2020

“Dr. Fauci Backed Controversial Wuhan Lab with Millions of U.S. Dollars for Risky Coronavirus Research”

NEWSWEEK blew the whole BSL-4 story sky high a few weeks ago.

To put a fine line under this: NIH (Francis Collins) and NIAID (Fauci) outsourced “Chimeric, GoF” research to the Wuhan BSL-4, effectively pulling an end run around the US ban on this research between 2014-2017. The grant continued through 2019. The US is DEEPLY COMPLICIT in the events leading to any leakage of a lab-made SARS-CoV-2 (“SC-2”) “franken virus”.

https://www.newsweek.com/dr-fauci-backed-controversial-wuhan-lab-millions-us-dollars-risky-coronavirus-research-1500741

If you want to know about BSL-4 research ASK FAUCI (NIAID) and COLLINS (NIH) … they wrote and administered the NIH research contract for Wuhan BSL-4 to create “chimeric, Gain of Function” franken viruses.

You can review the grant and the funding history here. Take a look at the NIH grant administered by Fauci’s NIAD starting in 2014-2020.

https://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_description.cfm?aid=9819304&icde=49711216

The grant is issued to the EcoAlliance, which operates in the US and overseas, at Wuhan. EcoAlliance specializes in Bat SARS viral research. The grant states:
“We will use S protein sequence data, infectious clone technology, in vitro and in vivo infection experiments and analysis of receptor binding to test the hypothesis that % divergence thresholds in S protein sequences predict spillover potential.”

S proteins are the SC-2 spikes (“coronas” or crowns) that attach to the ACE-2 bronchial cell “Receptor Binding Domain” (RBD) and then “cleave” open the cells for the SC-2 to inject RNA into bronchial cells, often causing profound pneumonia ie COVID-19. The SC-2 virus was deliberately mutated in animal models to create perfectly adapted S proteins, with an exceptionally strong affinity for human ACE-2 lung tissue. SC-2 was a precision engineered -in-the-lab virus using sequential infection methods, a form of controlled, highly accelerated “natural selection” mutation — a targeted mutation.

Furthermore, the NEWSWEEK demolishes the flimsy cover story from “Nature Medicine” that claims the CS2 virus is 100%, pure and natural. The “Nature Medicine” research published on 17 March is a farrago of spit-ball conjectures based on the Wuhan Wet Market fairy tale, and grossly misleading straw man arguments about irrelevant bio-engineering techniques. The “Nature Medicine” conspicuously ignored the more prevalent methods of “guided, accelerated” natural selection using animal models.

A cheeky layman’s takedown of the Nature Medicine propaganda written by a virologist is found here:
https://harvardtothebighouse.com/2020/03/19/china-owns-nature-magazines-ass-debunking-the-proximal-origin-of-sars-cov-2-claiming-covid-19-wasnt-from-a-lab/

If anyone wants to know what went on at the Wuhan BSL-4 lab, subpoena all the grant reports at NIH- NIAID; interview Collins, Fauci and staff scientists, and do the same at EcoAlliance.

COVID-19 was a major blunder (not at all unanticipated at that), not malicious, but mixed with a lot of hubris and now deceit. We CANNOT allow ourselves to be stampeded into a WMD-style catastrophe by unscrupulous and mendacious actors in this unfolding global crisis.

Demand that the entire EcoAlliance grant file be disclosed for public inspection. This may be of great assistance in understand what experiments were underway at Wuhan- BSL-4.

“grossly misleading straw man arguments about irrelevant bio-engineering techniques”

What I call the Monsanto bioweapon idea: the hypothesis that bioweapons are made like RR and Bt seeds, with well known methods and trivially detectable markers.

I would like Dr. Erickson to review the report before publication /wishful thinking!

There is a related interview from three weeks ago:
Exclusive Interview w/ Dr. Dan Erickson
2020-04-30 22min

In this video Dr. Erickson criticizes the authorities for not having an exit plan ready before the lock-down.

If, in fact, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is a ChiCom F#% up, and if I have a naive outlook on this possibility that prevents me from perceiving the evidence, then I wonder why such labs are allowed to exist. Why is it not an international crime to engineer viruses that can take out humans?

Given the widespread lack of discipline that I seem to observe in people today, how can we possibly trust that people working in these labs are following every single protocol, religiously, conscientiously, meticulously, consistently, without fail, 100% of the time? I just don’t see that society today nurtures the sort of people with this sort of intense discipline to follow standards, with absolutely committed integrity.

There is no room for a slip up in this kind of endeavor. If slips are happening, then humans today have no business whatsoever messing with viruses in this way.

I still see people in the everyday world, wearing their stylish face masks, touching them, wearing them around their necks half the time, sliding them off to talk on their mobile phones, only to pull them back up with their contaminated hands. It’s like SARS-CoV-2 can magically accommodate the space in their preferred behaviors that ignore the reality of chain-of-contamination.

I know of a nurse who is morbidly obese and who smokes, who showed up to work at an assisted-living facility, coughing so intensely that she was throwing up in the bathroom on the job. This is a supposed HEALTH “professional”, who supposedly knows the guidelines of her profession, knowingly violating all those rules. Needing a job, needing to work, needing to cover up mistakes to keep a job, … all to make a living and to survive … can easily overpower technical guidelines.

The point is that these two examples alone speak to the inability of even some supposedly trained and knowledgeable people to exercise the level of strictness necessary to have the desired effect of a stated guideline or procedure. Human error is just too likely. Humans have lazy moments. Some humans lack discipline. Some humans lack enough intelligence to do a procedure exactly right. And it’s sometimes hard to distinguish these people from other people, because they have the degrees, talk the talk, present the superficial appearances, … but in critical moments, they slip up, they get lazy, they hide their mistakes to survive.

Especially compared to the outrage caused by quite minor events like the Fukushima nuclear “catastrophe” that had trivial ecological and health effects in areas not bordering the plant.

There is overwhelming evidence that COVID-19 originated in a laboratory:

https://project-evidence.github.io/
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/exclusive-virus-researchers-uncover-evidence-implying-covid-19-was-created-in-a-lab

Most likely, a team at the Wuhan virology lab extracted a colony of coronaviruses from a sick animal, and then cultured the colony in human cell-based nutrients to “human-enhance” them for viral-vector vaccine research. That was exactly the objective of their NIH-financed research. The most incriminating evidence is that the Chinese communist government has destroyed the lab where the research was done, and won’t allow the NIH to analyze the data and lab notes from this research, even though it was NIH-financed.

The real investigation should be:

How did an unremarkable flu virus trigger a worldwide panic? For that there are no easy answers.

This is big news.

The big thinkers at the CCP have made a mistake, that is going to change, the who pays for the covid damage, question.

The sudden finding that the Bat Virus code is fake, explains, why there is suddenly an increase in aggressive CCP issued anti-US propaganda, all over the world.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/china-launches-new-twitter-accounts-90-000-tweets-covid-19-n1207991

The bat virus code has sections with too many ‘naturally’ occurring mutations and sections with no mutations at all, which is unequivocally, indisputable evidence, that someone had a sample of real bat virus…..

And that person changed the bat virus code to make it look like it evolved.

The clumsy alterations of the bat virus code were done again and again by the Bat Lady, Shi Zhengli, who works at the Wuhan lab and who also destroyed the bat virus samples.

Zhengli, filed the fake ‘bat’ virus code, January 2, 2020 into an academic database and claimed the virus code was ‘natural’.

So, the finding that the Bat Lady altered the Bat virus and lied concerning the bat virus origins and that she mysteriously disappeared and then reappeared…

Is proof that the CCP ordered the Bat Lady to do what she did.

In China, CCP is big brother. People disappear and then reappear as robots who say and do exactly what the CCP has ordered then to do.

In China, professionals and actually all sane people, do exactly what the CCP orders them to do.

Excellent work from those who are the side of truth and our countries.
