It Is “Beyond Reasonable Doubt” That Chinese Scientists Created Covid in a Lab and Tried to Cover Their Tracks, According to a New Study

by Michael Curzon
29 May 2021 12:09 PM

It is “beyond reasonable doubt” that SARS-CoV-2 was created through “laboratory manipulation”, according to a new study. The paper claims that the virus was made in a Wuhan lab by Chinese scientists who then tried to cover their tracks by retro-engineering versions of the virus to make it look like it evolved naturally from bats. The authors’ study has been rejected by a number of academic publishers but is now set to be published in the scientific journal Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery in the coming days. The MailOnline has the story.

The paper’s authors, British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr Birger Sørensen, wrote that they have had “prima facie evidence of retro-engineering in China” for a year – but were ignored by academics and major journals.   

Dalgleish is a Professor of Oncology at St George’s University, London, and is best known for his breakthrough in creating the first working “HIV vaccine”, to treat diagnosed patients and allow them to go off medication for months.

Sørensen, a virologist, is Chair of pharmaceutical company, Immunor, which developed a coronavirus vaccine candidate called Biovacc-19. Dalgleish also has share options in the firm. 

The shocking allegations in the study include accusations of “deliberate destruction, concealment or contamination of data” at Chinese labs, and it notes the silencing and disappearance of scientists in the communist country who spoke out…

While analysing Covid samples last year in an attempt to create a vaccine, Dalgleish and Sørensen discovered “unique fingerprints” in the virus that they say could only have arisen from manipulation in a laboratory…

Even when former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove spoke out publicly saying the scientists’ theory should be investigated, the idea was dismissed as “fake news”…

Digging through archives of journals and databases [on experiments done at the Wuhan lab between 2002 and 2019], Dalgleish and Sørensen pieced together how Chinese scientists, some working in concert with American universities, allegedly built the tools to create the coronavirus. 

Much of the work was centred around controversial “Gain of Function” research – temporarily outlawed in the U.S. under the Obama administration.

Gain of Function involves tweaking naturally occurring viruses to make them more infectious so that they can replicate in human cells in a lab, allowing the virus’s potential effect on humans to be studied and better understood. 

Dalgleish and Sørensen claim that scientists working on Gain of Function projects took a natural coronavirus “backbone” found in Chinese cave bats and spliced onto it a new “spike”, turning it into the deadly and highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2.

One tell-tale sign of alleged manipulation the two men highlighted was a row of four amino acids they found on the SARS-CoV-2 spike.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Sørensen said the amino acids all have a positive charge, which cause the virus to tightly cling to the negatively charged parts of human cells like a magnet, and so become more infectious. 

But because, like magnets, the positively charged amino acids repel each other, it is rare to find even three in a row in naturally occurring organisms, while four in a row is “extremely unlikely”, the scientist said.

“The laws of physics mean that you cannot have four positively charged amino acids in a row. The only way you can get this is if you artificially manufacture it,” Dalgleish told DailyMail.com.

This begs the question ‘what is the billionaire class’s business model?’
What is their motivation to deny the proles free movement and access to abundant energy? Why does farming nutritious food for all appall them?
Why is the economic elevation of those living in the developing world no longer considered a priority?

Consider their bottom line.
They are seeking to run the planet like a business and to reduce costs. Labour is normally the biggest cost in a business.
If they now have AI and robotics to do their donkey work they no longer see a human workforce and therefore human consumers as being necessary for their business model.

Listen to what they say openly:
Humans (created in God’s image) are problematic useless eaters, our exhalation of CO2 is considered bad for the planet, therefore we are the ‘carbon’ they wish to reduce.

what they want is to own the planet, for themselves and their heirs, they want the worlds population reduced so that there is more for them to own, the remaining population of normies will be there slaves, who will live out of site in ghetto towns, and who will be treated as battery farm animals, once useful life is deemed at an end they will be finished off hence the projects in Canada, and the tests on putting old people down during the covid years. Of course what the billionaire idiots don’t realise is, that once they have achieved their ownership of the earth, they will as humans have always done whose main motivation is greed and power, they will start to fight one another, as they demand and desire other territorys. The green zealots at the top of the tree are barbaric, greedy, misanthropes who are using politicians and people to do their bidding, but once done they will be disposed of just like any other no longer useful piece of trash.

Yes they really are seeking to steal the green from the goose. Why would they not do that when elected governments have put all the pieces (Globalisation) into place for them to do this?
Governments accommodate virtually every wish they desire. Establishment politicians careers and parallel earnings are often so interlinked with these people they are mere puppets.
We are in an age of full blown Corporatism, It is evil, it will distinguish our sovereignty our freedoms and our liberties. All establishment parties are fully signed up to the corporate agenda and as long as the majority of people continue to vote for them they will continue to do the bidding of the corporatists.

Excellent research, Mr Morrison. Thank you.

Sadly, it’s just yet more “Daily Sceptic publishing Climate Denial”, as Wikipedia puts it… someone bomb Wikipedia already, please.

‘Climate denier’ is another idiotic term used by half wits. They lose on science so they resort to name calling.
Yes there is a climate.
Yes it does indeed change.
Yes I do believe in the 4 seasons.
Yes I do believe in weather.
No I don’t believe that Co2 controls climate since no scientific proof exists for that assertion.
No I don’t believe that Co2 a trace chemical 400 parts per million which falls out of natural processes and which is mostly recycled, causes weather.
No I don’t believe that mankind’s output of 5% of Co2 has any impact whatsoever on anything.
No I don’t believe that a few temp stations in airports and along highways provides proof of hottest days evah.
Yes I believe in science, namely that natural cycles, solar activity, oceanic convection systems, and other many:many relationships result in local, regional climactic patterns.

Mr Alarmist—“Climate Change is real and happening now”
Mr Denier—–“Oh really so where can I see this climate change”?
Mr Alarmist—-“You can see it everywhere”
Mr Denier——“So can I see it from my bedroom window”?
Mr Alarmist—–“Yes”
Mr Denier——“What does it look like”?
Mr Alarmist—-“Well it doesn’t look like anything as such”
Mr Denier——“But didn’t you say I can see it everywhere”?
Mr Alarmist—-” Yes but I meant you can see it’s effects”
Mr Denier——“And what are those effects”?
Mr Alarmist—-“The effects are changes to the climate”
Mr Denier—– “When did the climate start changing”?
Mr Alarmist—-“Well it has always changed”
Mr Denier——” If it has always changed why not just say climate is real and happening now”? Why bother calling it climate change, when climate would suffice”?

It is the usual struggle to be the Leader of the World (or Bliar complex). They live to be surrounded by the adoring masses. Then they need to programme these adoring masses to adore, work, reproduce & die.
Only problem with this strategy is their are now so many of these would be ‘Bliars’ all striving for the top spot that they will end up fighting each other.
The proposed mandatory jab in Austria also revealed another ‘weakness’ in their plans, as they found they could not lock the unjabbed in their homes as planned, because they were the same 20% who kept the Country running!

Davos coming soon, this years theme.”Rebuilding trust”, which is laughable I would no more trust someone who is a member or who attends the WEF, than I would Charles Manson.

I suppose we could point out that “Rebuilding trust” acknowledges, if nothing else, that trust has gone. Trust once lost is very difficult to regain.

‘Ben Pile estimates that both Bloomberg and Hohn are funding green organisations’

They are not, simply one link in the chain.

It is us, the long suffering taxpayers, who are funding all of this.

‘UK government revenue from energy taxes totalled over £38.1 billion in 2019′

Bloomberg and Hohn are simply leeching off the rest of us, via government ‘green levies’ and subsidies.

On a separate point, the government receives about £1200bn in receipts and spends about £950bn

You know where the rest goes.

Governments, typically, are rubbish at running anything. The government is the problem, not the solution.

There are very few problems in this country that could not be solved by a smaller public sector.

Picky point but the “green” in “green billionaires” should always be written in quotes.

Whenever I read about billionaires I am always reminded of Steve Sailer’s fictitious, ironic “NAABP” – “National Association for the Advancement of Billionaire People”. He is very cynical about their motives especially with regard to mass immigration. It’s a play on the NAACP – National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

The man-made climate change hoax and racket is about one thing only:
money and power for a different set of people.
Absolutely nothing else.

From global warming to climate change to “climate and environment”.

If the policies are wrong because you got it wrong, don’t change policy, blur the lines, confuse the issue, obfuscate.

The dumb public won’t notice.

I quickly scanned the article before reading it, and when I do this I always see certain names and phrases sticking out. As my eyes scroll down up pops things like Ed Miliband, Net Zero, Collectivist, John Kerry , Guterres, “denier”, greenhouse gas, UNFCCC etc. ——-It is almost like my brain has a bit of software in it that identifies all the evil. Then sure enough as I read the article all the evil becomes clear. But then people like me are “the “deplorables”. We don’t accept being easily manipulated. We know that climate models are not science, We know that Polar Bears are not in trouble, We know that the data gets adjusted to fit in with a narrative. —–But ofcourse saying stuff likes that gets you into a spot of bother, or as Mark Twain pointed out, “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble, it’s what you know for sure just ain’t so”. Many eminent people have lost their careers for “knowing it ain’t so”. ————-Some lost their life ——JFK

Climate change and net Zero only happens in rich Western countries where philanthropy, fake charities and foundations are allowed to abuse the lax and largely unregulated tax deductions that are given by western governments to all spending by these organizations. This can amount to from 20% up to 74%. This means that our taxes are funding most of what these organizations spend. These are oligarchy organizations influencing government policy which is supposed to be illegal. These organizations have set up such an impenetrable web of numbered tax free organizations, it is impossible to audit or regulate. The way to limit the power of these organizations is to remove or severely limit their abuses by altering the tax rules.
