A history of deadly bioweapons research

This is first rate investigation by the Tru News team that clearly shows the history of experimentation – bringing back the 1918 influenza and subsequent “gain of function” research.

The narrative that this dangerous research is to find out how dangerous it is and to develop a vaccine is a bit like burning down your kitchen to find out what the consequences of such actions are.

I strongly recommend listening.  I have provided some material below.

TONY FAUCI & RON FOUCHIER: THE TOM & JERRY OF DEADLY BIOWEAPONS RESEARCH


Listen to "Tony Fauci & Ron Fouchier: The Tom & Jerry of Deadly Bioweapons Research" on Spreaker.

Today on TruNews we discuss the reports of a new global wave of coronavirus and a swine flu in China, as deadly as the 1918 Spanish Flu, and according to the experts, ready to cook our bacon while the pandemic lying pan is still hot. 


We also detail the long history of U.S. funded bioweapons research, and the familiar faces such as Dr. Fauci and his fellow doctors of doom, who all seemed to be preparing for immunity passports, mass vaccination, and surveillance and censorship months before the announcement of global shutdown.

Here are some of the latest headlines. 



  • The U.S. is "not in total control" of the coronavirus pandemic and daily new cases could surpassed 100,000 new infections per day at some point, White House health adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday.
  • "I can't make an accurate prediction but it's going to be very disturbing," Fauci told senators in a hearing held by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
  • The number of new cases reported each day in the U.S. is now outpacing that of April, when the virus rocked Washington state and parts of the Northeast, especially the New York City area.

This contradicts the item below


Researchers have been analyzing and tracking the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, since it first appeared in China in January. Researchers at the The Scripps Research Institute have found that the strains spreading so quickly in Europe and the U.S. have a mutated S “spike” protein that makes it about 10 times more infectious than the strain that originally was identified in Asia. The research was published online on bioRxiv and has yet to be peer-reviewed.

The mutation does not appear to make the virus any more deadly than it already is, but it does appear to make it significantly more contagious. The original strain in China is dubbed D614, while the one found in the UK, Italy and North America by May is dubbed G614.

An Italian infectious disease doctor believes the coronavirus has become less dangerous — and could disappear on its own without a vaccine.

Dr. Matteo Bassetti, the head of the infectious diseases clinic at the San Martino hospital, said the virus appears to have become less potent, possibly due to genetic mutations, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
The clinical impression I have is that the virus is changing in severity,” Bassetti told the outlet.
In March and early April the patterns were completely different. People were coming to the emergency department with a very difficult to manage illness and they needed oxygen and ventilation, some developed pneumonia.”

They are preparing us everywhere to expect a second wave and more lockdowns. Will there be a third  wave in the Fall?


An uptick in the number of infections of the novel coronavirus in Tokyo is causing confusion and concern among health officials charged with bringing the outbreak under control, with authorities here warning that rates are likely to increase far more rapidly later in the year.

Heightening that concern is the failure of the outbreak to decline or level off now the warmer summer months have arrived. Epidemiologists had hoped for some respite from an illness that has so far infected 18,631 people across Japan and caused 985 fatalities, but numbers are still trending upwards.

The Russians are claiming that terrorists may exploit the virus


Recruiters are encouraging new members of international terrorist organizations to spread the coronavirus in public places, Head of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Anti-Terrorism Center Andrei Novikov said in an interview with TASS.

"While governments are trying to ensure health security, focusing on protecting the lives and health of their people, recruiters of international terrorist groups are not just taking advantage of the difficult situation in order to recruit more ‘Jihad soldiers,’ they are calling on infected members to spread COVID-19 as wide as possible in public places, state agencies and so on," Novikov pointed out.

The following relates to historical material on how they are trying to reawaken old viruses and to incorporate this into other viruses in the laboratory.

From 1998



Six bodies unearthed last year in the Norwegian Arctic have unexpectedly yielded a scientific prize: They hold part of the virus that caused the Spanish influenza of 1918, which killed at least 40 million people in one of the worst disease outbreaks in history.

Researchers at a scientific meeting in London said this week that they have identified fragments of the long-sought virus in the brains and organs of six young men who died in October 1918 on Svalbard, an island less than 800 miles from the North Pole.

The bodies were unearthed in August 1998 by a multinational research team that had traveled to the Arctic in hopes of finding frozen corpses in which the flu virus had been preserved. But the bodies were found thawed and decayed, and scientific gossip during the past year had dismissed them as worthless to research.

From 2005




The recreation of one of the deadliest diseases known could help us to prevent another pandemic. Or it might trigger one, say critics. Andreas von Bubnoff investigates whether the benefits outweigh the risks.

It is thought to have killed 50 million people, and yet scientists have brought it back to life. In this issue of Nature, scientists publish an analysis of the full genome sequence of the 1918 human influenza virus. And in this week's Science, researchers describe how they used that sequence to recreate the virus and study its effects in mice.

Some scientists have already hailed the work as giving unprecedented insight into the virus. Working out how it arose and why it was so deadly could help experts to spot the next pandemic strain and to design appropriate drugs and vaccines in time, they say.

A flu virus that killed tens of millions worldwide after it appeared in 1918 has been recreated in the virological equivalent of the Jurassic Park story. Scientists rebuilt it from pieces of genetic material retrieved from the lungs of people who died 87 years ago. Researchers writing in the journals Science and Nature say the tightly guarded replica is even more virulent than they expected.

Yet public health officials aren't worried that the 1918 flu will again terrorize the population. It's no longer a new virus, and most people in the world have some immunity to the H1N1 virus family.

Abstract

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 virus can cause morbidity and mortality in humans but thus far has not acquired the ability to be transmitted by aerosol or respiratory droplet ("airborne transmission") between humans. To address the concern that the virus could acquire this ability under natural conditions, we genetically modified A/H5N1 virus by site-directed mutagenesis and subsequent serial passage in ferrets. The genetically modified A/H5N1 virus acquired mutations during passage in ferrets, ultimately becoming airborne transmissible in ferrets. None of the recipient ferrets died after airborne infection with the mutant A/H5N1 viruses. Four amino acid substitutions in the host receptor-binding protein hemagglutinin, and one in the polymerase complex protein basic polymerase 2, were consistently present in airborne-transmitted viruses. The transmissible viruses were sensitive to the antiviral drug oseltamivir and reacted well with antisera raised against H5 influenza vaccine strains. Thus, avian A/H5N1 influenza viruses can acquire the capacity for airborne transmission between mammals without recombination in an intermediate host and therefore constitute a risk for human pandemic influenza.

This article from 2014 asked questions that are no longer being asked about the risk of unleashing a global pandemic with laboratory experiments.


Public health experts have warned that controversial experiments on mutant viruses could put human lives in danger by unleashing an accidental pandemic.

Several groups of scientists around the world are creating and altering viruses to understand how natural strains might evolve into more lethal forms that spread easily among humans.

But in a report published on Tuesday, researchers at Harvard and Yale universities in the US argue that the benefits of the work are outweighed by the risk of pathogenic strains escaping from laboratories and spreading around the world.

They calculate that if 10 high-containment labs in the US performed such experiments for 10 years, the chance of at least one person becoming infected was nearly 20%. If an infected person left the laboratory, the virus might then spread more widely.

Here is Dr.Fauci's equivalent in the Netherlands.

From 2012


A study showing that it takes as few as five mutations to turn the H5N1 avian influenza virus into an airborne spreader in mammals—and that launched a historic debate on scientific accountability and transparency—was released today in Science, spilling the full experimental details that many experts had sought to suppress out of concern that publishing them could lead to the unleashing of a dangerous virus.

Dutch Virologist Ron Fouchier is a controversial figure in the field of Viroscience. He created world’s deadliest virus strain and his research sparked a global controversy to de-fund and shutdown such experiments. Experts have raised concerns legally that such experiments could not only lead to a global pandemic but could also lead to bio-terrorism. However, Ron Fouchier is also a key to the COVID-19 investigation. He isolated the SARS Coronavirus smuggled out of Saudi Arabia which was sent to the Canadian scientist Frank Plummer, who ended up dead a week after GreatGameIndia‘s report was published. This investigation takes a deeper look at the controversial nature of Ron Fouchier’s work, with regards to the COVID-19 outbreak.

China has approved military use of an experimental coronavirus vaccine developed by the People’s Liberation Army and a Chinese pharmaceutical company, in a first for the armed forces of any country.
The vaccine, identified as Ad5-nCoV, was jointly developed by a team at the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, led by Major General Chen Wei, and Tianjin-based company CanSino Biologics.
It is the first time that a vaccine candidate for Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, has been authorised for use for the military of any nation

Avian-like H1N1 swine flu: the next scare

New swine flu found in China has pandemic potential, researchers say

  • Named G4, virus is genetically descended from H1N1 strain behind 2009 outbreak
  • Tests show 10.4 per cent of swine workers and up to 4.4 per cent of general population may have been exposed


29 June, 2020

Researchers in China have discovered a new type of swine flu that is capable of triggering a pandemic, according to a study published Monday in the US science journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Named G4, it is genetically descended from the H1N1 strain that caused a pandemic in 2009.

It possesses “all the essential hallmarks of being highly adapted to infect humans”, say the authors, scientists at Chinese universities and China’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.

From 2011 to 2018, researchers took 30,000 nasal swabs from pigs in slaughterhouses in 10 Chinese provinces and in a veterinary hospital, allowing them to isolate 179 swine flu viruses.

The majority were of a new kind which has been dominant among pigs since 2016.

The researchers then carried out various experiments including on ferrets, which are widely used in flu studies because they experience similar symptoms to humans – principally fever, coughing and sneezing.

G4 was observed to be highly infectious, replicating in human cells and causing more serious symptoms in ferrets than other viruses.

Tests also showed that any immunity humans gain from exposure to seasonal flu does not provide protection from G4.

According to blood tests which showed up antibodies created by exposure to the virus, 10.4 per cent of swine workers had already been infected.

The tests showed that as many as 4.4 per cent of the general population also appeared to have been exposed.

The virus has therefore already passed from animals to humans, but there is no evidence yet that it can be passed from human to human – the scientists’ main worry.

It is of concern that human infection of G4 virus will further human adaptation and increase the risk of a human pandemic,” the researchers wrote.

The authors called for urgent measures to monitor people working with pigs.

The work comes as a salutary reminder that we are constantly at risk of new emergence of zoonotic pathogens and that farmed animals, with which humans have greater contact than with wildlife, may act as the source for important pandemic viruses,” said James Wood, head of the department of veterinary medicine at Cambridge University.

A zoonotic infection is caused by a pathogen that has jumped from a non-human animal into a human.


Kiwi experts say a newfound strain of influenza detected in China should be closely monitored, but says fears it'll cause a global pandemic akin to COVID-19 are "a little premature".


It comes as Chinese and British scientists claimed the virus - known as G4 EA H1N1 and so far only identified in pigs - has "all the hallmarks" of being highly adapted to humans and capable of triggering a global outbreak.

The research - published on Monday in scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences - suggests Chinese pig farmers already show elevated levels of the virus, and close monitoring of them "should be urgently implemented"

REVEALED: Covid-19 causes infected human cells to spout viral-laden tentacles

This is an earth-shattering revelation with huge consequences.It has been all over the world media but I am posting Hal Turner's article as he takes the interpretation a bit further.

I shall be reflecting on this and write my conclusions tomorrow, God willing. I can say the Turner is right when he states that zoonotic viruses from a fish market cannot mutate in this way so quickly

"We wouldn't have thought that a virus could behave in such a complex way when its only just been introduced into a new species."

Western Governments Debating Bio-War With China over Coronavirus; Mutations far too advanced for age of virus


27 June, 2020

The coronavirus zombifies human cells and causes them to sprout tentacles in order to spread around the body, scientists have discovered.
A study led by the University of California saw researchers take microscopic images of this process, which they have described as 'so sinister.'
Images show infected cells growing tentacle-like spikes, known as filopodia, (image above) which appear to be littered with viral particles.
The researchers believe the disease uses the tentacles to 'surf' to healthy cells, where it injects its viral venom into them and creates more zombie cells.  
Until now, researchers believed the novel coronavirus which causes the disease COVID-19, infected like most other viruses - by latching onto healthy cells and turning them into copying machines.
But, in people with healthy immune systems, the body can fight off the majority of the virus and prevent it from replicating in high amounts in the body.
The latest discovery appears to show that Covid has, at some point in its evolution, developed a back-up plan to get round the immune system. 
The finding has been described as an 'amazing leap' in the coronavirus - a leap too far to have occurred naturally.   Some western governments are now ACTIVELY CONSIDERING a retaliatory bio-weapons release against China.  I have the details
Nevan Krogan, a professor in cellular and molecular pharmacology at the University of California and lead researcher, told the LA Times'It’s just so sinister that the virus uses other mechanisms to infect other cells before it kills the cell.' 
Other viruses — including HIV and vaccinia, a member of the virus family that causes smallpox — also use filopodia as way to spread infection through the body.
But Professor Krogan said the way Covid-19 can grow the tentacles so rapidly is highly unusual. 
He also said their shape - protruding out of the cell towards other cells like branches on a tree - was also strange.  
Columbia University microbiologist Professor Stephen Goff admitted the finding was 'intriguing' but said it did not necessarily mean the tentacles were behaving as a seond mode of spreading.
He told the LA Times: 'It’s intriguing and a really cool observation. But we don’t yet know what stage [of infection] is affected. It will be great fun to find out.'
Scientists behind the study -  published in the journal Cell - believe the discovery could open the door to new treatments.
They have now identified seven existing cancer drugs that block the growth of filopodia.
Among the seven drugs are gilteritinib, sold as Xospata, which is used to treat acute myeloid leukemia and Silmitasertib, an unproven drug being trialled as a treatment for bile duct cancer and a form of childhood brain cancer. 
Reacting to the findings, Professor Andrew Mehle, a microbiologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told SFist: 'This paper shows just how completely the virus is able to rewire all of the signals going on inside the cell. That's really remarkable and it's something that occurs very rapidly (as soon as two hours after cells are infected).' 
Lynne Cassimeris, a professor of biological sciences at Lehigh University, said the discovery was an 'amazing leap'. 
The study included scientists from Mount Sinai in New York, Rocky Mountain Labs in Montana, the Pasteur Institute in Paris and the University of Freiburg in Germany. 
It was launched in February to rapidly identify existing drugs that had the potential to treat the then-brand new disease.
They monitored how the virus responded to drugs under laboratory settings in test tube experiments. 
One of Britain's leading experts said last week that the coronavirus has lots of 'immunological tricks up its sleeve' that make it hyper-infectiou.
Peter Openshaw, professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College London, said the virus is 'surprisingly' good at ducking the human immune system — despite only jumping from animals six months ago.
He said normally it takes years of co-existing with humans for any virus to evolve these traits.
Professor Openshaw told the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee last week: 'In terms of durability, viruses often have a way of modulating the host's immune response. 
'It's the way they've evolved to tune down the immune response that's generated by the virus. That would usually be particularly strong in virus that's had long time to co-evolve with human host. 
'What surprises us about this novel virus that's only recently jumped from bats to humans, is already seems to have a lot of immunological tricks up its sleeve and is able to interfere with the immune response and in a way disseminate in a way that you wouldn't really expect a virus that has only just moved into the human population.
'We wonder why that is. We wouldn't have thought that a virus could behave in such a complex way when its only just been introduced into a new species.'
He added: 'So maybe there are tricks it has learned while evolving in another species that have cross over effect.'

GOVERNMENTS ALREADY KNOW THIS IS BIO-ENGINEERED
The United States government and other western nations, already KNOW this virus has been tampered-with in a bio-lab.  
The findings of "p-shuttle" vectors in virus isolated from infected people, PROVES this virus has been manipulated in a lab.  P-shuttle is genetics technology that allows gene splicing and manipulation of DNA/RNA within cells.
shuttle vector is a vector (usually a plasmid) constructed so that it can propagate in two different host species. Therefore, DNA inserted into a shuttle vector can be tested or manipulated in two different cell types. The main advantage of these vectors is they can be manipulated in E. coli, then used in a system which is more difficult or slower to use (e.g. yeast).
Shuttle vectors include plasmids that can propagate in eukaryotes and prokaryotes (e.g. both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli) or in different species of bacteria (e.g. both E. coli and Rhodococcus erythropolis). There are also adenovirus shuttle vectors, which can propagate in E. coli and mammals.
Shuttle vectors are frequently used to quickly make multiple copies of the gene in E. coli (amplification). They can also be used for in vitro experiments and modifications (e.g. mutagenesis, PCR).
One of the most common types of shuttle vectors is the yeast shuttle vector. Almost all commonly used S. cerevisiae vectors are shuttle vectors. Yeast shuttle vectors have components that allow for replication and selection in both E. coli cells and yeast cells. The E. coli component of a yeast shuttle vector includes an origin of replication and a selectable marker, e.g. antibiotic resistance, beta lactamase, beta galactosidase. The yeast component of a yeast shuttle vector includes an autonomously replicating sequence (ARS), a yeast centromere (CEN), and a yeast selectable marker (e.g. URA3, a gene that encodes an enzyme for uracil synthesis, Lodish et al. 2007).
The question remains, however, was the manipulation done as research, or part of a military plan?
As the investigations continue, the military has inquired of civilian leaders "if this is a bioweapon, what are you going to do about it and what will you ask the military to do?"
This has raised not only the possibility of overt, kinetic war, but the very real specter of very real BIO-WAR.
The United States and other western nations have stockpiles of a variety of bio-weapons that could be unleashed at any time.  But doing so would have consequences potentially beyond those of nuclear war.
Viruses spread by many means, and unleashing one -- anywhere -- can come back to bite whichever country does it.
Yet, I can report as of 1:42 PM eastern US time on Saturday, June 27, 2020, certain western governments - I will not say which - ARE, IN FACT, CONSIDERING RELEASING A BIO-WEAPON against China.
