Covid 19 — 2024 Campaign Looms amid Calls to Shut Down Risky Gain of Function Research That Caused Pandemic

A leading non-profit working for safety in high-risk research
on dangerous pathogens, BioSafety Now, in image above, offers
products it calls The Inconsistent with Evolution collection.
The items mock a comment by Kristian Andersen, professor of
Immunology, who in a leaked communication with Anthony Fauci
stated SARS-CoV-2 genome is "inconsistent with expectations from
evolutionary theory," suggesting a bio-engineered cause of the
Covid 19 Pandemic, the opposite of what Fauci and Andersen said in
public. After the leak, corporate media leaped to Andersen and Fauci's
defense.
In the above image, "a graphic compar(es) the amino acid sequences
of spike proteins from viruses that are closely related to SARS-CoV-2.
The graphic highlights the unique presence of the furin cleavage
site (FCS) in SARS-CoV-2," (BioSafety Now). The furin
cleavage site (FCS) was not found in Sars-like viruses
before the Pandemic, and has been concluded by independent
scientists to point to human bio-engineering.

Lab Leak Blundering; Covid 19 Coverup; Americans Reject Biden Covid Lies

Biden Cannot Afford to Come Clean

Commentary

Madison, Wisconsin — If you believe 20 million dead; untold health devastation; and $Trillions in economic costs will make Joe Biden reverse course and acknowledge a U.S.-supported Chinese Wuhan lab caused the Pandemic, you likely have not spent much time analyzing American politics, now dominated by corporatist Democrats busily attempting to imprison their leading political opponent.

Even as facts leaked this year show the FBI and U.S. Dept. of Energy confirm a lab leak of a bio-engineered Sars-like Coronavirus [designed to be more transmissible and virulent (destructive) to human beings] caused the Pandemic, these facts are marginalized, mostly hidden by corporate network news and major newspapers that function as state-media propaganda organs to a degree today that may surprise even Noam Chomsky.

Can anyone imagine Joe Biden addressing our country in prime time, admitting he has blocked a 911-style investigation of Covid 19 origins; perpetrated deliberate and massive government lies, all because Biden made the decision that gaslighting-level deception of Americans is in the interests of national security? 'Sure I lied, but it's for your own good?' Won't happen.

Instead, to this day, the Biden administration keeps repeating its colossal Covid 19 origins lie; classifying intelligence demonstrating a lab leak; and mounting against hope the Biden clandestine State effort to control social media through censorship, banning and extortion, now being adjudicated in federal court; likely leading to a spectacular legal defeat next year as the 2024 campaign heats up.

Joe Biden has become the Baghdad Bob of Covid 19 origins; and there is very little our ailing president can do about it at this point, as some two-thirds of American believe a lab leak — a victory, and demonstration of the capacity of most people to see through governments' smokescreens.

Only Biden and elected Democrats, aided by media stooges, maintain against reason their colossal Covid lie, with unanimous Congressional Democrat collusion. Not the squad, Bernie Sanders, any Democrat dares issue even a press release recognizing the Emperor has no clothes.

Meanwhile, a Genetics professor at Rutgers University, Bryce Nickels, has called for the controversial non-profit EcoHealth Alliance to be shut down by federal authorities.

EcoHealth Alliance was implicated by a report (DRASTIC) in 2021 after a report chronicled how EcoHealth sought a $14 Million grant in 2018 from the United States Dept of Defense to bio-engineer SARS-like viruses to make a Coronavirus more transmissible and virulent (harmful), (DRASTIC report), in a manner that nearly replicates the capability and idiosyncratic structure, (a novel cleavage site proposed by scientists, and then discovered some two years later in the SARS-CoV-2 virus causing COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019)).

I urge Dr. Daszak to shut down EcoHealth Alliance - it’s involved in generating a long line of lab made viruses, one of which may have caused the COVID-19 pandemic, & that’s just not healthy. I’m sure that’s not what he intended.

Wisconsin move to ban gain of function research

The ultimate campaign swing state, Wisconsin, was visited by the new director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in mid-August, 2023, as Dr. Mandy Cohen made Madison her first stop on a multi-state trip to urge and discuss vaccinations (Wahlberg, Wisconsin State Journal).

 

No public reporting on whether Dr. Cohen touched on COVID-19 and the "existential threat of scientific hubris" that has wrought destruction and tragedy (Butler, Lambrinidou, BioSafety Now).

Fortunately, Wisconsin Republicans, with no public Democratic Party support, plan to introduce state legislation that would ban gain of function research.

Gain of function is a high-risk research program on dangerous pathogens — such as Sars-like viruses, Avian influenza virus and Ebola virus — that is conducted, as BioSafety Now notes, "with the expressed purpose of making these viruses more transmissible between humans and thus more likely to cause devastating disease outbreaks," (Bryce E. Nickels, Justin B. Kinney, Richard H. Ebright; BioSafety Now).

Comments on the proposed state legislation, now in the Memo phase gathering sponsors, are reproduced below from an article at BioSafety Now, a non-profit with the mission to "draw attention to the constant threat of research-generated pandemics, through education as well as local, state, national, and international advocacy in partnership with communities who have mobilized or want to mobilize to protect themselves and the future of humanity."

Mark my words, deceit from government is not popular with the Americans people, perhaps even less so in Wisconsin. A presidential candidate vowing to tell Americans the truth has broad appeal in this age of unreason that some call the era of post-truth.

Comments on the proposed legislation that would prohibit institutions of higher education from conducting gain of function experimentation in Wisconsin (LRB-2947)

by Bryce E. Nickels, Justin B. Kinney, Richard H. Ebright

 

AUGUST 16, 2023

The core mission of Biosafety Now is to help protect the public from the dangers posed by high-risk research on dangerous pathogens. Biosafety Now believes that the public is a crucial stakeholder in high-risk research, and therefore must have a seat at the table in assessing whether the benefits of research projects outweigh risks. If passed, the bill LRB-2947 would establish a role for the public in regulating risky research, would provide critical protections for the citizens of Wisconsin, and would advance environmental justice both in the state of Wisconsin and world-wide.

What would the bill do?

The bill prohibits “gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens” in the state of Wisconsin. Gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens is scientific research that makes pathogens (such as viruses) more likely to cause devastating global pandemics.

Gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens is a very small part (less than 0.01%) of biomedical research.

Gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens is exceedingly risky: one lab accident by a single researcher has the potential to cause a catastrophic epidemic within the local community, which in turn has the potential to seed a devastating world-wide pandemic.

The bill also includes key transparency provisions that require researchers (1) to disclose the location, scope, purpose, and funding source for research on potentially pandemic pathogens, (2) to describe the impact the pathogen will have on the public if there is an accidental or deliberate release, and (3) to describe the measures the lab will take to ensure the pathogen is not released. In addition, currently, most state and local governments have no information on the pathogens research in their jurisdictions, and thus are unable to prepare, equip, and train first responders to deal with laboratory accidents involving pathogens in their jurisdictions.

Taken together, the provisions of this bill safeguard the citizens of Wisconsin (as well as members of the global community) against an existential threat to their safety and provide members of the public with information about what research is being performed in their communities.

What would the bill NOT do?

The bill would NOT impede the development of vaccines or disease treatments. Gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens plays no role and makes no contribution to the development of vaccines or other disease treatments.

The bill would NOT harm the biotechnology sector, either in Wisconsin or elsewhere in the US. Indeed, there are no civilian companies in the biotechnology sector that are pursuing this type of research, or that build on the results of this type of research.

The bill would NOT have a substantial negative impact on the University of Wisconsin. The bill would primarily affect the research of only a single virology laboratory run by a single faculty member.

Why Wisconsin?

The University of Wisconsin has a specific virology laboratory engaged in gain of function research on potential pandemic pathogens. This laboratory, run by Professor Yoshihiro Kawaoka, is well-known in the research community to be conducting some of the highest-risk gain-of-function research in the entire world.

As part of its research activities, the Kawaoka Laboratory genetically engineers avian influenza virus and Ebola virus (both of which have a fatality rate of 60-70%) with the expressed purpose of making these viruses more transmissible between humans and thus more likely to cause devastating disease outbreaks.

The Kawaoka Laboratory has a track record of repeated violations of biosafety standards, repeated biosafety accidents, and repeated failures to inform local, state and federal authorities in a timely fashion.

Scientists Want Retraction, Bio-Reserch Fraud Revealed amid Democrat Thought Control Failure

Democrats' Big Lie Draws Wide Ridicule Now

Democrat Party-U.S. government work to promote discredited Wuhan animal-market explanations of Covid 19 origins demonstrates anew America is an indoctrinated society, to a degree that might astonish Orwell and Chomsky.

The Democrat Party-led censorship regime rises as this political party (with no dissent) works with public health, bio-research and an array of military-intel agencies to brand media airing of lab-engineered SARS-CoV-2 hypotheses as conspiracy theory, malinformation, misinformation, and disinformation. 

Lab leak became forbidden thought in 2020, and the Biden Administration formally launched its Disinformation Governance Board using current assets in 2022, then quickly backed down after widespread mockery deriding a governmental Ministry of Truth made the administration look ridiculous.

Biden and the Democrats became so isolated and removed from everyday America, they were convinced they could get away with this disinformation charade, though thought control persists.

As corporate media remains well under control; social media banning, censorship, and character assassination exploded as prominent mention of Chinese lab-engineered SARS-like virus explanations — adopted by the FBI and U.S. Dept of Energy, leaked documents show — drew government-corporate censure on a par with thought crimes.

The Covid 19 thought control project has failed.

Most Americans believe, at least provisionally, that an engineered virus that inadvertently leaked from a Wuhan lab caused the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.

But it required much work, much fraud, to launch and sustain the huge lie that is gas-lighting Americans.

Accountability is being pursued now.

Comes an open letter this week from BioSafety, a non-profit dedicated to "a future free of lab-generated pandemics, a future where reckless research on pathogens is ended, and a future where public trust in science is restored."

"Our Mission is to demand national- and international-level restrictions, regulations, and oversight to reduce the risks to the public posed by enhanced potential pandemic pathogens research."

Recent reporting and leaks show the prominent Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 paper published in Nature Medicine in early 2020, was intended to black out origins questions, and launch the branding of any question as conspiracy theory fare.

There you have it, folks.

Virologists most likely created SARS-CoV-2, and this was evident in January 2020.

The Three Stooges of modern science were stooges (ht @R_H_Ebright). They lied to reporters and misled the world.

20 million died. https://t.co/kfeiP7S804

Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 published in Nature Medicine is a carefully crafted, if hastily written, fraud; Andersen, K.G., Rambaut, A., Lipkin, W.I. et al. The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2. Nat Med 26, 450–452 (2020).

Honest scientists are calling for retraction and withdrawal proceedings.

Biosafety Now's Open Letter To Nature Medicine is one such statement.

Biosafety Now's Open Letter To Nature Medicine is reproduced below:

July 26, 2023

Dear Editors:

On March 17, 2020, Nature Medicine published a Correspondence entitled “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” (1). The paper assessed the genome sequence of SARS-CoV-2 and concluded, “Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus” and “we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”

The paper played an influential role—indeed, the central role—in communicating the false narrative that science established that SARS-CoV-2 entered humans through natural spillover, and not through research-related spillover (2-7). The paper was promoted by Joao Monteiro the chief editor of Nature Medicine, as an exceptionally important and definitive research study (“great work”; “will put conspiracy theories about the origin of #SARSCoV2 to rest “; 8). The paper has been cited more than 5,800 times, making it the 68th most cited publication in all fields in 2020, the 16th most cited publication in biology in 2020, and the 8th most cited publication on the subject of COVID-19 in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Email messages and Slack direct messages among authors of the paper obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) process or by the U.S. Congress and publicly released in full in or before July 2023 (2-7), show that the authors did not believe the core conclusions of the paper at the time it was written, at the time it was submitted for publication, and at the time it was published. The authors’ statements show that the paper was, and is, a product of scientific misconduct.

It is imperative that this misleading and damaging product of scientific misconduct be removed from the scientific literature.

We, as STEM and STEM-policy professionals, call upon Nature Medicine to publish an expression of editorial concern for the paper and to begin a process of withdrawal or retraction of the paper.

Democrats Jettison Free Speech, Free Press and Free Inquiry

Matt Taibbi has committed cardinal sins in the eyes of the Democrat Party and contemporary corporate liberalism: Journalism.

Taibbi penned a report entitled The Great Covid-19 Lie Machine: Stanford, the Virality Project, and the Censorship of “True Stories.”

Taibbi reported Twitter emails detailing efforts of the American intelligence and public health communities plotting how to censor and marginalize speech and other information deemed too dangerous for Americans to read.

Some speech even, such as the release of liberal-favorite Dr. Anthony Fauci’s Spring 2020 emails was "used to exacerbate distrust in Dr. Fauci."

In liberal circles, this distrust of Fauci is considered heresy, so must be stopped.

Read Taibbi's work to see how far our country's Democrat Party has drifted from cherished notions such as free speech and free press.

“The Vitality Project however is just part of a broader cultural shift that reverses long standing liberal/left commitments to free expression and allows censorship in the name of protection and safety.” ⁦@NAffects⁩ https://t.co/CWJGENs3pi
