Images of the virus SARS-CoV-2

NIAID’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) in Hamilton, Montana, claimed to have produced images of SARS-CoV-2 using scanning and transmission electron microscopes (EM). Other claim EM images show the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but is it viral-like particles or cellular debris? [1, 2, 3, 4 ] Compare to the SARS and MERS viruses.

WHO declares COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern

The International Health Regulations (IHR) Emergency Committee for COVID-19 held its first meeting on January 22 & 23, 2020 [found COVID-19 not an emergency], then 7 days later on January 30, 2020 they met again and upon the committee's advice, the WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesuss declared that the novel coronavirus outbreak constituted a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), the "WHO’s highest level of alarm". [1, 3] "The Committee also acknowledged that there are still many unknowns, cases have now been reported in five WHO regions in one month, and human-to-human transmission has occurred outside Wuhan and outside China." "The Committee believes that it is still possible to interrupt virus spread, provided that countries put in place strong measures to detect disease early, isolate and treat cases, trace contacts, and promote social distancing measures commensurate with the risk." "The Committee agreed that the outbreak now meets the criteria for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern." The Committee emphasized that the declaration of a PHEIC should be seen in the spirit of support and appreciation for China, its people, and the actions China has taken on the frontlines of this outbreak, with transparency, and, it is to be..> READ MORE

Wuhan, China locks down and sets a “new standard”

Chinese government reported on January 22, 2020 the "Strictest measures enacted to contain viral pneumonia" where the city of Wuhan closed its transport networks and advised it's citizens not to leave the city". 11 million people in Wuhan, China, considered the epicentre of the novel coronavirus outbreak, are ordered to abide by the restrictions. [1]  Wuhan lockdown measures were kept in place until April 8, 2020.  It is thought 5 million people departed before the lockdown was put in place. Locking down healthy people is a public health measure never done before for a virus outbreak. On 30 January 2020, the WHO’s director general tweeted China’s lockdown measures are “setting a new standard for outbreak response.” An action not actually based on science, and contrary to an October 2019 WHO report, yet sovereign nations of the world actively followed this unprecedented CCP led “control measure”! Further key data points from the China report: "On Jan 19, President Xi Jinping ordered that resolute efforts should be made to curb the spread of the virus, stressing putting people's safety and health as the top priority." "The Wuhan Health Commission reported on the morning of Jan 21 that 15 medical workers in the..> READ MORE

The potential “Super Spreader” is born

According to ABC news  reported on January 21, 2020, “one of China’s top health experts is warning of the potential for “super-spreaders” to worsen the impact of the new coronavirus strain” as they "confirm" person-to-person transmission. "Zhong Nanshan, the leader of an expert team sent to the city of Wuhan to investigate the deadly virus, told the South China Morning Post there was evidence one patient alone had spread the disease to 14 medical workers." Two days later China's CDC director stated, "There's no evidence to support the idea there are already super-spreaders." On 26 January, China's Health Minister Ma Xiaowei told the press that "people can spread it before they become symptomatic." A Super Spreader is a “phenomenon” where a healthy person, with no symptoms of illness (asymptomatic), is allegedly highly contagious. [1, 2] This "potential" threat to the spread of the virus comes just 8 days after a “diagnostic tool" is released by the WHO, that "could" diagnose the asymptomatic "potential" spreaders of the virus – The PCR test. The WHO recommends (thanks to Drosten et al) to set the test at 40-45 cycles, to diagnose infection of SARS-CoV-2 in all people both with symptoms or healthy. In..> READ MORE

WHO notifies Member States of an unknown pneumonia

On January 5, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) made the official announcement of a disease outbreak of "Pneumonia of unknown cause" in China.  Which alterted member states [1, 2, 3] In a WHO tweet on January 4, 2020 they made an early announcment, then their website on January 5, 2020 they stated: On 31 December 2019, the WHO China Country Office was informed of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology (unknown cause) detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. As of 3 January 2020, a total of 44 patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology have been reported to WHO by the national authorities in China. Of the 44 cases reported, 11 are severely ill, while the remaining 33 patients are in stable condition. According to media reports, the concerned market in Wuhan was closed on 1 January 2020 for environmental sanitation and disinfection. The causal agent has not yet been identified or confirmed. On 1 January 2020, WHO requested further information from national authorities to assess the risk....The clinical signs and symptoms are mainly fever, with a few patients having difficulty in breathing, and chest radiographs showing invasive lesions of both lungs.  According to the authorities, some patients..> READ MORE

China: First patient symptom onset date

Wuhan, China: On December 1, 2019, the first person reporting ill (later determined with coronavirus) was origianlly stated to have no link to the seafood market.  This seafood market reference is removed from the later Johns Hopkin's article. [2] In a leaked Five-Eyes intelligence report it is stated on December 6, 2019, that being "Five days after a man linked to Wuhan’s seafood market presented pneumonia-like symptoms, his wife contracts it, suggesting human to human transmission" The Daily Telegraph reports in their compiled timeline of key dates mentioned in the Five-Eyes intelligence report. [1] CDC place the first cluster of patients on 12 December 2019 (with no citation).

WHO releases a systematic review of non-pharmaceutical measures for Influenza pandemics

In March 2019, Hong Kong hosted the WHO Consultation Symposium on Non-pharmaceutical Public Health Measures for Mitigating the Risk and Impact of Epidemic and Pandemic Influenza. [non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI's)] Six months later, on September 19, 2019 the WHO published the findings in a report, concluding, amongst other things, that contact tracing is “not recommended in any circumstances” no matter the severity of Influenza pandemic or epidemic. The “quality of evidence” and epidemiological design is poor to draw conclusions.  [1, 2] Based on the systematic literature review they determined that “unless the severity is high, face masks are for only symptomatic individuals because face masks have a “lack of effectiveness in reducing influenza transmission”, a respiratory disease. [3] Quarantine of those "who may or may not be infected but are not ill" has "very low overall quality of evidence" for supporting stopping transmission, at best it delays the inevitable spread.

Peter Daszak’s prophetic statement to NAS workshop

On March 26 and 27, 2015, the Institute of Medicine convened a workshop at the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in Washington, DC titled "Enabling Rapid Response and Sustained Capability with Medical Countermeasures (MCM) to Mitigate Risk of Emerging Infectious Diseases."  The workshop summary report was published February 12, 2016 by the National Academies Press. At the workshop Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, spoke for the topic "Enabling Sustainable Capabilities Through Ongoing Public- and Private-Sector Partnerships", where he made the following prophetic remark in relation to Developing Medical Countermeasures (MCM) for Coronaviruses: “...until an infectious disease crisis is very real, present, and at an emergency threshold, it is often largely ignored. To sustain the funding base beyond the crisis... we need to increase public understanding of the need for MCMs such as a pan-influenza or pan-coronavirus vaccine. A key driver is the media, and the economics follow the hype. We need to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issues. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of process…” Read that again. [1] Then WATCH this. Dr Martin:  Peter Daszak in 2015 actually stated that "this entire exercise was a campaign of..> READ MORE

The SARS epidemic declared in China

"Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus, called SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) [10]. According to the CDC, SARS began in February 2003, it wasn't until March that the WHO backdated it til the "end of February 2003.   According to WHO February 2003 Weekly Epidemiological Reports (WERs) [12] they mention reports of atypical pheumonia in China but Chinese officials designated the cause as chlamydia pneumoniae, which was found in 2 patients who died. [11] WHO records from November 2002 to February 2003 reveal people in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong started to become ill from atypical pneumonia, China played down the illness. [1, 2, 3, 4] On March 16, 2003 the WHO had released their website with the Case Definition as reported, the first recognized case was from Hanoi, Vietnam dated mid-February - not China.   At a March 25, 2003 WHO press conference it was claimed they were 10 days into an outbreak, making the official start of the SARS outbreak on March 15, 2003. A novel coronavirus was discovered through complete viral genome sequence  and was characterised as SARS-CoV and published by May 30, 2003. The illness spread to more than two..> READ MORE

Swine Flu mass-vax program suspended after high numbers of Guillain-Barré Syndrome and 53 dead

On February 3, 1976, the New Jersey State Health Department sent the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta isolates of virus from recruits at Fort Dix military base, New Jersey, who had influenza-like illnesses.  Some of the isolates were similar to 1918 pandemic, thus it was labelled "swine flu" but "surveillance activities at Fort Dix gave no indication that recruits had contact with pigs" [contrary to this report]. [1, 2]  One soldier died. On March 10, 1976 the ACIP committee determined at person-to-person transmission had occurred, they recommended that an immunization program be launched to prevent the effects of a possible pandemic. The vaccination program was established to "vaccinate 140 million Americans against the swine flu" in the "hopes to immunize "every man, woman, and child"".  45 million people were vaccinated in 10 weeks with what became known as the “swine flu vaccine”. The program was halted in many states due to unexpected high cases (1/100,000) of debilitating Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) reported following vaccination "resulting in 53 deaths". [3, 4, 5, 6] The WHO claimed "the risk of GBS from the vaccine is slight" and it's cause is "unknown". On December 16, 1976, Dr. Theodore Cooper, Assistant Secretary of..> READ MORE
