I do wonder what it would take for some folks to be held accountable and actually punished. And why it just doesn't seem possible. The amount of harm done is really incalculable.

It's not just the paper itself, it's the other actions that Fauci and the Gang took after calling for the taskforce. Apologies for linking, but I wrote about this the other day:

https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/dissecting-the-new-fauci-e-mail

First, Fauci admits that there are “mutations in the virus that would be most unusual to have evolved naturally in the bats” and “there was a suspicion that this mutation was intentionally inserted.” This email is sent at the VERY START of February 2020 — and already he knows these mutations probably didn’t occur naturally. (That’s important for later.)

This theory is furthered by the next point that Fauci admits: The lab at Wuhan is doing gain-of-function research on bat viruses so they can more easily infect humans. Back in February 2020, Fauci knew exactly what gain-of-function research was and where it was being performed. It was only a year and a half later while in front of Congress that Fauci could no longer define gain-of-function research. (He just knew he never did it, honest!)

After taking this information into account, “some of the scientists” thought the lab leak was the more likely explanation, but “two others” felt that the virus could have occurred naturally — “even though these mutations have NEVER BEEN seen in a bat virus before”. (Emphasis mine)

Now, the email isn’t exactly specific about a number when it says “some of the scientists”, but it clearly says “two others”. Therefore, I think it’s reasonable to conclude that when it came to covid origins, NOT ONLY WAS THERE DISAGREEMENT IN THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, “NATURAL ORIGIN” WAS ALWAYS THE MINORITY OPINION.

Fauci long claimed that “the evidence says the coronavirus could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated.” Meaning that covid couldn’t possibly have originated from the WIV. But as you point out, he played a key role in suppressing the evidence. And he lied over and over again.

https://euphoricrecall.substack.com/p/newly-released-emails-show-fauci

Dr. David Asher was a former state department official tasked by the Trump administration to lead a probe into the origins of the coronavirus. According to Asher, “We were finding that despite the claims of our scientific community, including the National Institutes of Health and Dr. Fauci’s NIAID organization, there was almost no evidence that supported a natural, zoonotic evolution or source of COVID-19. The data disproportionately stacked up, as we investigated, that it was coming out of a lab or some supernatural source.”

The Biden administration, at the behest of Fauci, aborted Asher's probe as soon as it got the chance. Something to do with “concerns over the reliability of the findings.” What did it find? Many things. None of which conformed to Fauci’s narrative. Like, for instance, what Asher learned from biostatisticians when he inquired about the probability that covid came from nature and not from a lab. The answer he was given? Approximately 1 in 13 billion.

Fauci should be in prison.

If justice were to be served, Fauci would die 13 million deaths in prison, penniless, and from a gain of function virus he helped create.

The codon sequence CGGCGG is the one most commonly inserted when doing gain of function lab work. According to "https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210217/The-origin-of-SARS-CoV-2-furin-cleavage-site-remains-a-mystery.aspx, "the CGGCGG codons encoding the two arginines of the doublet in SARS-CoV-2 are not found in any of the furin sites in other viral proteins expressed by a wide range of viruses." As soon as the scientists saw that, they ALL knew it came from the lab. But then again, Fauci had given numerous grants to Peter Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance, the group that was partially funding the Wuhan lab and was intimately involved with these experiments, so Fauci knew it came from a lab well before we all became aware of it.

'Now, the email isn’t exactly specific about a number when it says “some of the scientists”, but it clearly says “two others”.'

I am reminded of the old joke of a Soviet news headline about a foot race between an American runner and a Soviet runner. The report went, "Soviet runner finishes in second place, American runner next-to-last."

[A large] Part of me thinks these highly scripted emails are written to provide a false paper trail. All to create plausible deniability. The “Well, we just weren’t sure” deceit. That is exactly the sort of way “intelligence” operates, I think.

Just as likely, it is mostly theatre as these folks knew — pretty much from the get-go — that the jig was up on the international grift of duo-purpose (vaxx/bio-weapon) gain of function research with the Chinese.

In my view the potential intelligence involvement is significant because there is a strong cover-up analogy:

natural origin = lone assassin

Lab Leak = a conspiracy of bad actors motivated by greed and power.

I have no doubt that the headliners (Facui, Peter D) knew exactly what happened immediately. They were already figuring out how to attack the people who would eventually be their detractors.

I still think one of the most important goals for Fauci and his team of prevaricators was to cover-up and conceal any evidence this virus was already circulating widely in the world by late 2019 ... If "confirmed" or definitive evidence this was happening had been revealed to the public:

1) There would have been no need for lockdowns to "slow" or "stop" spread. This result would have been seen as impossible to achieve.

2) Everyone would know the real IFR for Covid was the same or lower than ILI/flu. Thus no mortality risk to 99 percent of world inhabitants. (That is, a virus was spreading and making many people sick, this virus just wasn't killing hardly anyone.)

3) Many people would have already been infected and thus already had natural immunity.

4) The case for mandatory vaccines for an experimental, rushed "vaccine" would not be nearly as compelling.

In short, the entire narrative about this virus would be completely different.

Instead, Fauci and his lieutenants pushed the preposterous narrative that "spread" began at the Wuhan live market in December 2019.

This "authorized" story kept investigators from going backwards and looking for early cases. This also kept the focus only on China as the origination point, when the real origination event could have happened in America ... or Ukraine or maybe China ... but much earlier.

In my mind, there are many reasons real investigations into early cases have been off-limits. But Fauci et al DID effectively control the narrative on the start-date and location of virus spread. This took the focus off of Fauci and his collaborators. No investigator was looking for their fingerprints on this origination event.

So the likely virus architects or "mad scientists" in America who must have been deeply involved ... were protected. That is, this narrative-control effort WORKED ... with a giant and vital assist from the captured mainstream press, which has also refused to investigate all the copious evidence of "early spread."

Remember the "popcorn Lung" that was attributed to vaping? It looked remarkably similar to the symptoms of Covid.

I don't know if this could have been "early" Covid or not - also that outbreak in a Virginia nursing home - All I know is that any evidence that this virus might have been spreading in America (and, trust me, there's a ton of such evidence) ... has never been investigated. Which is interesting and mighty convenient for certain people and organizations IMO.

And maybe CONvid doesn’t exist. We already know that it was computer generated, not isolated. Lots of coronaviruses exist, as well as influenza (the flu disappeared).

Expand full comment

That theory seems to be growing in popularity - the idea that Covid was just "re-branded" ILI. I don't automatically reject this hypothesis, which would be an even more stunning scandal than my own hypothesis .... which is that, no, there was a novel new virus and it was spreading quite widely months before this was acknowledged by the "experts." However the new illness wasn't killing hardly anyone. It wasn't a big threat at all.

This article presents the arguments (and copious evidence) showing that virus spread or "case zero" could NOT have occurred in Wuhan or the WIV ... at least in November 2019. And "case zero" was dang sure not in December 2019 in Wuhan. The antibody and ILI evidence of "early spread" in multiple countries and at least 16 U.S. states is overwhelming. So it's bizarre every bit of this evidence has been ignored by those allegedly investigating the source and date of the actual first Covid cases.

And don't forget that the CCP intentionally cut-off Wuhan province from the rest of China in late 2019, but allowed international travel to the rest of the world.

In another article, I list 27 ways I think officials conspired to conceal evidence of "early spread" in America. One thing CDC officials did was they didn't test any Americans for possible Covid with a PCR test in the early weeks of the official pandemic. They were hardly testing anyone, but the only people who were tested were Americans who had recently returned from China. Because of this "testing protocol," the only early "confirmed" cases were of course ... people who had recently returned from China.

The SAD reality is we all KNEW this for seemingly years now, and the elf fraud will not feel any sort of meaningful accountability in this lifetime. In fact, "we the people" get to pay him a generous pension for what he was complicit in doing to humanity. This is the sort of justice we have in America. These criminals get to do as they please, and are never held to account. ZERO accountability remains the #1 existential crisis we face. Who really believes those that were responsible for all that occurred in pre planning, implementation and ongoing narrative of the great 2020 plandemic, are not in the midst of bringing more crimes against humanity in time?

It wasn't very long ago I'd have said anyone caught in this kind of scandal would be finished. There used to be a pretense of ethics in government, at least when you got caught.

But, a lot has changed in the last few years. We now seem to be at the point where government is corrupt and voters know and don't seem to care, so now government knows voters know and don't care.

I saw a poll the other day that something like a half of Democrats believe Biden is lying about his Chinese connections, bribery, etc. Yet, if other polls are to be believed, his approval among Democrats is still like 80%.

i think part of the problem is that politics is one of the biggest cultural touchstones anymore. over 100 million people watched the final episode of M*A*S*H on the same night in 1983.

most tv shows aren't live anymore, and they're also not on tv! they're split up on different streaming services spit out in chunks that some binge watch in a day & others may watch years later. makes it difficult to achieve any real cultural relevance.

the closest we have to real time "hey did you see that?" is sports. but since sports are boring for the most part, and it's rare that your team ever actually wins it all - we've essentially reduced politics to sports broadcasting.

the usa has become a hellscape version of "the washington commanders vs the dallas cowboys" championship game that we have to live everyday. both teams likely make your stomach turn, but you have to pick a team & root because we've essentially forgotten everything that came before.

Au contraire. The US govt (on both sides of the aisle )has been directly involved in many egregious scandals that never saw the light of day until the perps were very old or dead. (And likely many scandals never revealed, e.g., where are those JFK assassination documents?) This scandal may be "revealed" (i.e., it will be let out of the bag) but many years from now.

Au contraire? I don't think you understood my point.

Which was: govt at least used to pretend they cared about ethics *when they got caught*. Now, it doesn't even matter when they get caught.

Alex's post shows the gain of function scandal has already been 'revealed' (i.e., let out of the bag), yet people don't care. And, in the case of the Biden crime family's bribes, not only has that been revealed, 50% of Democrats believe it to be true. Still, nobody cares.

There was a doctor on the Joe Rogan podcast (circa July 2020) that emphatically claimed that the virus had to be lab grown and manipulated. He was saying that because of the structure of it and it was obvious that is had been manipulated. He claimed it could not have been made in nature. He was the only one I heard saying stuff like that for a long time. And even at the time, he stated that he was no virologist, so take what he says with a grain of salt but then went on to go out on a limb and say a few things. He was dead right on all of what he said and this was 3 years ago. I'm sorry, I wish I could remember who it was. I listened to the podcast in my car driving to Wisconsin the first week of Aug, 2020.

Problem is that Trump would not fire either Fauci or Birx and Mike Pence headed up the COVID task force and he didn’t listen to Dr. Scott Atlas who was going against Fauci and Birx. Both Trump and Fauci failed in this regard because they feared media backlash prior to the election. That’s why I will not support either of them in the primary.

As good liberals, Fauci et al. sought to excuse those who were directly involved (in Wuhan), while making everybody else bear the burden of dealing with the problem (with lockdowns, masking, and mandatory "vaccines").

We KNOW what “authorized narrative” the Fauci braintrust was conspiring to push: This virus originated at a live market in Wuhan in December 2019.

We also should all know this was a brazen lie because:

1. These people always lie, especially Fauci.

2. The evidence of “early spread” was copious and undeniable - and could have been “proven” even by early February 2020.

For example, the CDC and NIH KNEW they had tranches of archived Red Cross blood they could test for Covid antibodies. One tranche of available blood was collected Dec. 13-16, 2019 in CA, WA and OR.

This blood could have been tested by early February if not late January. (China doctors and scientists were testing patients for Covid antibodies in January.)

We know this was NOT done.

We know this blood was finally tested; we just don’t know WHEN because the CDC’s Red Cross Blood Study doesn’t include this very-important information (when this blood was actually tested).

We know this study was belatedly published on November 30, 2020 - 11 1/2 months AFTER the blood had been collected! (So it apparently took 11-plus months to test 7,300 units of blood for antibodies).

We know this tranche of blood revealed that 39 of about 1,900 blood donors (2.04 percent of this random sample of blood donors) DID already have Covid antibodies in their blood when they donated blood.

We KNOW it takes a week or two for detectable antibodies to develop. From this information, one can conclude that most of these 39 positive blood donors were infected in November 2019 (if not even earlier) - Donors from three different states so these cases weren’t isolated to just one town.

We also know CDC or public health officials never interviewed ONE person who tested positive (to ask them if they had Covid symptoms and, if so, when … Or if anyone else in their family might have had Covid symptoms before early December 2019.

What we don’t know is why testing of this “archived blood” was not expedited BEFORE officials decided to lockdown the entire world (in mid-March 2020). Or why more tranches of archived blood collected from other dates or sections of the country were not tested as well.

Would-be Sherlock Holmes trying to solve the “Virus Origination” Question should consider everything that common-sense says SHOULD have happened …. But never did happen. This is the “dog-that-didn’t-bark” evidence that would almost-certainly solve the Crime of the Century.

Fauci and friends are a disgrace to science. That's all.

Here’s what I think happened:

Certain people in the US government and the Virus Establishment Complex KNEW this virus was already circulating at least by October 2019 or probably by September 2019. (They must know this … because they were responsible for this happening).

This said, most “experts” and authorities did NOT know this (although the big spike in ILI cases should have provided a great clue). However, most of these people probably figured out early on that something was rotten in Washington D.C. … that there probably WAS copious evidence of early spread.

Since they'd already gone “all-in” on lockdowns and the authorized narrative - i.e. this was the worst pandemic in world history - these people and organizations didn’t want to suddenly say, “Well, maybe we were wrong and we shouldn’t have imposed all these draconian measures.” Or “maybe this virus isn’t anything to panic over after all.” They certainly didn’t want to entertain the possibility that early cases were happening in … America.

This means they ALL now had a powerful incentive to protect the already-established narrative. This also means they would have all been on board with any measures that would block these embarrassing and scandalous revelations. … so they were all okay with all the measures that must have been used to conceal evidence of early spread.

One might ask: Well, how would officials actually conceal evidence of early spread? I’m glad some people might ask this question. I’ve been investigating this for 40 months, and the link below shows how I think they did exactly this.

As for WHY they all conspired to do this? My answer is they were all protecting the authorized narrative and they were also all on-board with “The Most Important Thing” - rolling out the new mRNA “vaccines.” In short, at some point, they all recognized they had to hang together ... or else they all might ... hang together (as in, from a noose).
