So, COVID-19 is a Bioweapon After All, The Times Explains
Sars-Cov-2 is a result of bioweapons research, and work of Ralph Baric and Peter Daszak
A fascinating article by The Times (paywall-free link) confirms that almost everything I said about the origin of Sars-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is true.
The article is well-researched and is based on interviews with scientists, intelligence officers, and primary investigators.
The Sunday Times has reviewed hundreds of documents, including previously confidential reports, internal memos, scientific papers and email correspondence that has been obtained through sources or by freedom of information campaigners in the three years since the pandemic started. We also interviewed the US State Department investigators — including experts on China, emerging pandemic threats, and biowarfare — who conducted the first significant US inquiry into the origins of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Covid-19 was a product of bioweapon and vaccine research:

What do we call “fresh evidence” about an old story creating inflammatory and controversial news, citing shadowy, anonymous government leakers? That’s right, it’s the ‘fake news’ psyop profile. This is almost certainly a limited hangout, strategically deployed this week for reasons.
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS K2….JEFF CHILDERS HAS POSTED HID TAKE AT C&C THIS MORNING
You can tell how big the story is because everyone is talking about it today. All the major covid players are blogging about it, or tweeting about it, or they should be talking about it if they aren’t. Here at C&C we will examine this sordid tale with normal high levels of snark and a unique take.
I will admit, the psyops teams must be winning when the government finally admits covid was a bioweapon and my first reaction is to suspect it’s fake news. True, this development does confirm yet another conspiracy theory as a conspiracy fact — making FIVE this week — but there’s something about this story… and about all these recent serialized admissions … my soul just doesn’t feel any peace about it.
Let me explain.
The UK Sunday Times ran the explosive story as an exclusive late yesterday, headlined “What Really Went On Inside The Wuhan Lab Weeks Before Covid Erupted.” The sub-headline ominously explained, “Fresh evidence drawn from confidential files reveals Chinese scientists spliced together deadly pathogens shortly before the pandemic, the Sunday Times Insight team report.”
My goodness. Now they tell us. It’s not even news. But do you see the twist? The thing that makes this three-year-old story inflammatory and controversial news? It’s the “fresh evidence.” Where did all this fresh evidence come from? We find out later it came from shadowy, anonymous U.S. intelligence agency sources.

I’ve summarized the extended article using the Times’ own words, beginning with the very first sentence, heavily edited for brevity, and omitting tens of pages of filler. As its sources, the Times cited unidentified “U.S. investigators who scrutinized top-secret intercepted communications and scientific research,” including “metadata, phone information and internet information from intercepts collected by the U.S. intelligence services.”
Here’s the summary:
Scientists in Wuhan working alongside the Chinese military were combining the world’s most deadly coronaviruses to create a new mutant virus just as the pandemic began… [These] scientists were running a covert project of dangerous experiments, which caused a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and started the Covid-19 outbreak.
[Here’s the timeline. Back] in 2016[,] researchers discovered a new type of coronavirus in a mineshaft in Mojiang in Yunnan province where people had died from symptoms similar to Sars. The viruses found there … were transported to the Wuhan institute and the work of its scientists became classified… the classified programme was to make the mineshaft viruses more infectious to humans.
[In 2018,] the Wuhan institute … began … the most dangerous coronavirus experiment ever undertaken. [S]cientists selected three lab-grown mutant [SARS] viruses, [which] were then injected into the noses of albino mice with human lungs… to see whether the viruses had the potential to spark a pandemic[.]
[It worked.] The scientists … created a highly infectious super-coronavirus with a terrifying kill-rate that in all probability would never have emerged in nature. The new genetically modified virus was not Covid-19 but it might have been even more deadly if it had leaked.
One specific experiment involved inserting a furin cleavage site … into the [coronavirus] pathogens. [DARPA denied approval for the furin cleavage experiment as too dangerous, and Peter] Daszak and the Wuhan laboratory say they did not go ahead with the work. But [coincidentally,] … Covid-19 … was notable for being the first Sars-like coronavirus [in history] with a furin cleavage site…
[R]esearchers working on these experiments were taken to [the] hospital with Covid-like symptoms in November 2019 — a month before the West became aware of the pandemic.
An investigator said: “We were rock-solid confident that this was likely Covid-19 because they were working on advanced coronavirus research in the laboratory. They’re trained biologists in their thirties and forties. Thirty-five-year-old scientists don’t get very sick with influenza.”
[Furthermore,] the institute had been working on a [coronavirus] vaccine before the pandemic.
[T]he Chinese military[] was funding it and … was pursuing bioweapons…
[T]he Wuhan institute was running a shadow project that it kept secret, even from Daszak. [In fact,] covert military research, including laboratory animal experiments, was being done at the institute before the pandemic[.] … The Wuhan Institute of Virology has engaged in classified Chinese military [research] since at least 2017… [T]he [secret military] Wuhan scientists … inserted furin cleavage sites into viruses in 2019 in exactly the [same] way proposed in Daszak’s failed funding application to Darpa.
[The secret PLA science] team [was simultaneously] working on a [Covid-19] vaccine no later than November 2019 — just as the pandemic began.
The Times’ article trawled the entire history of the development of coronavirus research, publishing many previously embargoed facts, such as that in 2012, scientists and activists were ringing the alarm bell about the profound risks inherent in ANY coronavirus work. For instance, in 2012, Lynn Klotz, a senior fellow at the Washington Centre for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, published an article calling for all research on live Sars coronaviruses to be immediately stopped.
“About 30 labs now are working with live Sars virus worldwide. The probability of escape from at least one laboratory is high,” Klotz prophetically warned.
For some reason, we’re only hearing from corporate media about this now.
Then in 2014, President Obama suspended all gain of function research, but clever North Carolina mouse researcher Ralph Baric found a loophole. Baric pitched his loopy loophole idea to the National Institutes of Health who thought it sounded great, and so continued the reckless coronavirus research in Wuhan using Baric’s patented humanized mice.

Ironically, Baric’s loophole was an exception in Obama’s 2014 gain of function moratorium. It allowed GoF research that the NIH determined was “urgent and safe.” You can guess what happened; the Baric/Daszak proposal was green lighted after the NIH waved its bureaucratic magic wand, and suddenly the WIV coronavirus gain of function research became totally urgent and totally “safe.”
Ta-da!
In 2015, Baric and infamous “Bat Lady” Shi Zhengli co-authored a published paper describing how they’d engineered a coronavirus causing severe lung damage in Baric’s humanized mice, a virus which was resistant to all SARS vaccines; a potential mass killing virus.
Lamely, the paper ultimately speculated that the experiment might have been too dangerous, now that we think about it.
Whoops. Note that there is no law, not one, criminalizing dangerous genetic research. Not a single law anywhere. Not even a single law that could be repurposed to criminally punish someone whose dangerous genetic experiment gets out and hurts somebody. You’d have to try to shoehorn it into some other crime, which is why we’ve struggled to criminally prosecute Baric and Daszak.
So far.
Why do you suppose nobody’s criminalized reckless genetic experiments? I wonder if that would be a good local project. Maybe we could work from the county level up, start with the local ordinances first.
“Nasty” Bat Lady Shi Zhengli
? In 2015, a Chinese PLA military academy published a handbook discussing how SARS coronaviruses represented a “new era of genetic weapons” that could be “artificially manipulated into an emerging human disease virus, then weaponized and unleashed.” The book even helpfully explained to PLA scientists and CCP politicians how SARS could so easily be weaponized, just by fusing it with other pathogens and “serial passaging” the resulting mutant germs through humanized mice, to make it increasingly more dangerous, until you finally get to the point where all the mice die, and then you are cookin’ with gas.
For something to think about later, consider that the PLA’s bioweapons handbook described 2014 technology. We’re WAY past that now.
Here’s the Times’ helpful timeline infographic:
? The Times’ article looks rushed, a fact that will be important in a minute. Let me show you the evidence first. The article was super long. It’s hard to quickly edit something that long. By and large, it was very professionally written and edited, but remarkably, I found a duplicated paragraph. It had been repeated verbatim two times in the article; once early, then once very late in the story.
Here it is, early:
And again, late:
It was a weird, obvious error that never should have made it into print, not in a professional media company like the UK Times, with its layers of fact checkers and editors, and not in an article this important with such high visibility. Who knows, but the explanation that makes the most sense is they were under a very tight deadline.
Who gave them the deadline?
? What can we learn by reading between the lines? Obviously, they’re admitting the covid was a bioweapon and not a virus. It was designed to kill and maim. We haven’t gotten to the part where we wonder why we put that bioweapon into a shot and made everyone take it. That part probably comes later.
(1) It’s not news. It’s almost certainly a fake news limited hangout. Whoever they are, the anonymous intelligence sources who leaked all this evidence that covid was a designer bioweapon could have done it at any time.
The article’s rushed appearance suggests that the leakers who gave the Times access to the “fresh evidence” also gave them a deadline. The Times reporters didn’t know why it had to run by today; they didn’t care. The reason for the timing is classified.
(2) The article described a massive trove of new evidence, both public and confidential, that overwhelmingly shows that covid came from the WIV lab, that it was NOT natural, and it did NOT evolve naturally from animals. The lab-leak theory’s censorship as disinformation was just that: plain censorship.
The disclosure is not without cost to the Administration. The evidence flatly contradicts the official position of the US Government starting from 2020:
Fauci would continue in this vein throughout 2021. By the summer of 2022 he changed his tune, then saying he was “keeping an open mind” about the origins of the virus.
(3) It’s not just Fauci and government scientists. A lot of private and academic doctors and scientists brainlessly parroted the official line there was “no evidence” for the lab leak theory. All these people are about to confront a potentially life-altering reality: they were used, schills for government propaganda, to be discarded when no longer needed.
Much of the evidence for the lab leak turns out to have been publicly-available, so they cannot credibly claim there was “no evidence” at the time.
Many of these professionals will slide deeper into denial. They’ll rationalize, spin, do anything they can to avoid confronting the reality that they were manipulated into publicly and loudly being dead wrong and repeating a lot of foolish lies. Denial is how they’ll psychologically survive. But others will experience an intellectual discontinuity that will crumble their previously rock-solid trust in the institutions.
This could have world-altering consequences. The destruction of the Holy Temple of the CDC might be analogous to something like the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70AD.
(4) The anonymous U.S. intelligence agents helpfully shifted all the blame to the Chinese military, and the Times never questioned the narrative. They even covered for the odious duo of Baric and Daszak, cheerily describing them as brilliant but absent-minded professors, who somehow never realized until it was too late their dangerous gain-of-function research IN CHINA was being unethically subverted by sneaky PLA operatives in a lab THAT WAS WELL KNOWN FOR CHINESE MILITARY AFFILIATION.
Yeah, sure, okay. Baric and Daszak were naive little lambs, disgustingly exploited by cynical Chinese spooks. It probably took some not insignificant effort by U.S. intelligence agencies to stitch all the evidence together just right to craft THAT unbelievable narrative. Of course, neither Baric nor Daszak have acted consistently with that story at any time since the pandemic started. But leave it for now.
We can immediately identify two enormous advantages for the Biden Administration that blossom out of this limited hangout: first, it’s another massive distraction from the Biden Bribery story. Second, it’s a major political blow against China, at a time when tensions are running extremely high with the Chinese. This disclosure creates some new opportunities for the Biden Administration.
For example, a confirmed lab-leak would give the Biden Administration a perfect excuse to economically sanction the Chinese in a similar way to how it is sanctioning Russia. It’s simple. After all, China should have to pay us back for all the economic damage its negligence has caused. It’s also easy to imagine the U.S. seeking damning resolutions against the Chinese at the United Nations, for China’s role in “negligently” releasing the coronavirus and causing a deadly worldwide pandemic.
It also suggests that Team Biden has been holding the lab-leak card all along, to play it against China at just the right time.
We’ll have to see how the game plays out. The lab leak card hasn’t been played yet, not really. The Biden Administration has not yet officially taken any position, so it retains all its options. Maybe, if China starts playing ball, and stops causing trouble, all of this could just go away.
? Incidentally, don’t bother searching for the Times’ article on increasingly-useless Google, because the search giant will just gaslight you:
Ironically, Russia’s search engine Yandex had no trouble finding the story on its first try:
I’m not saying Americans are now propagandized worse by their own government than Russian citizens are propagandized by the Russian government. I’m just saying.
Dump the deep-state’s affiliate, Google!
Anyway, you don’t need to search for it. Here is the link to the Times article: https://archive.ph/C75CN
NOTE: While these articles provide new information that is clearly important, they also provide an extremely convenient explanation that negates any involvement of non-Chinese military in this bioweapon development AND “seem” inconsistent with the summary of COVID patent records filing/acceptance dates already revealed by the medical community. They also conflicts with the scores of legal documents released by Katherine Watt that confirm the mRNA vaccine program is a US military operation with research underway for over a decade. The storyline seem “too” convenient — something doesn’t jive!!!!
