I assume everything from ‘government sources’ is lies.
Interesting to see where this sits in the sequence of C-19 war gaming. If before then the war gaming wasn’t it was real live exercise as the virus was already out.
On the other hand if the war gaming took place before the release, then that is quite sinister. It suggests that the release was deliberate once they had a handle on what they would do next.
So, in that case I picked up the virus in London around December 17, 2019. I went down with the symptoms on or around the 20th, as did my Dad. My Mum had them mildly on December 26. My GP surgery’s staff were all ill around New Year (I attended an appointment there on December 19th.) They were ‘inundated with people calling in about a mysterious cough and flu symptom virus over that period, according to the practice’s nurse. We all just treated it as atypical weird Christmas virus.
My wife also had symptoms which met the description of COVID, persistent cough and extreme fatigue, back in January 2020. I have never seen anyone with them since, only a lot of positive PCR tests and re-branded colds and flus.
Persistent cough means pneumonia. It’s perfectly possibe to get that from other viruses as well. Extreme fatigue or rather, a serious reduction of the ability to perform physical tasks, is a side effect of the immune system having to put a serious amount of effort into fighting some pathogen. Also not COVID specific.
It is all bullshit it goes back way earlier. Let those who have wisdom perceive it. In 2018 there was quite a severe flu outbreak. In 2019 there was somthing called ‘mysterious vaping illness’. If you look at a map of the outbreak of vaping illness most if it was centred around Fort Detrick. And then you had the armed forces games in Wuhan. We weren’t all born under a Christmas Tree. The first step is to acknowledge just how sinister this agenda is.
Looking for something to watch last evening I came across “Flu that killed 50 million” on PBS America, channel 174. It was made in 2018 100 years on from Spanish flu outbreak. Definately worth an hours watch, they repeat a lot. Patient Zero was actually an 18 year old conscript from Kentucky who worked on a bird farm. With troop ship movements 40 days later it had hit France and already 20,000 dead from 20 million infected. The reason it became known as Spanish flu was because the news “blackout” did not affect Spain who were neutral and whose king died of the flu. The foreign correspondents in Spain termed it Spanish flu not knowing anything about its origins. Fast forward to 2018 and it was interesting to see the confidence of how we could tackle a modern day pandemic using all the knowledge, medical interventions and the 2014 Pandemic Preparedness Plan!
There is another reason why these three researchers could not have been the first three victims. They were all presumably of working age – in fact one is stated to be the bat lady’s “star pupil”. And they were all hospitalised?!
What percentage of covid sufferers required hospital treatment? Was it as much as 1%? And if elderly people are excluded (since these three were not elderly)?
What is the chance of the first three victims all requiring hospital treatment?
It’s nonsense, isn’t it?
