"Covid response policy was dominated by panic and biodefense paradigm
... There are a number of prominent individuals who provide excellent case studies for the interconnectedness of GoF [gain-of-function] research and MCM [medical countermeasure] development, engagement in a lab-leak cover-up, and the resulting biodefensive Covid response...
Case study: Peter Daszak
... Dr. Peter Daszak... was, and still is, the President of EcoHealth Alliance...
Daszak and GoF research
... Daszak did research on emerging viruses, like SARS. Was he directly involved in engineering SARS-CoV-2 and possibly covering up a lab leak? We don’t know for sure. EcoHealth Alliance whistleblower Dr. Andrew Huff is convinced he was. But even if you do not believe Dr. Huff’s compelling testimony, and other mountains of evidence, there’s much more to consider:
On February 27, 2020, CNN’s Zachary B. Wolf reported about the novel coronavirus outbreak that 'Health officials aren’t even calling this outbreak a pandemic yet.'
The Washington Post reported that, according to experts, 'in other parts of the world at least, most cases of the virus are mild. … The United States has seen 60 cases, none fatal.'
In other words, experts were following the outbreak as they would any other: by counting how many people got sick and how many died. And it seemed like most people had mild disease.
On that very same day, however, the New York Times published a terrifying opinion piece by none other than Dr. Daszak, entitled: We Knew that Disease X Was Coming. It’s Here Now...
Here Peter Daszak, presumably in his capacity as studier of emerging viruses, tells us that the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, which has yet to be called a pandemic and which has killed zero people in the United States, is the terrifying 'Disease X'...
To summarize:
Dr. Peter Daszak, a scientist who studied SARS viruses, warned the world that SARS-CoV-2 was 'Disease X' – an unknown pathogen which he miraculously knew two years prior would behave exactly like SARS-CoV-2, although no other recent viral outbreaks behaved this way.
He linked his inexplicably dire warning to a statement from Dr. Anthony Fauci about why it’s important to develop genetically-based vaccine platforms to combat Disease X. And several years earlier, Daszak himself described exactly what it would take to bridge the interest and funding gap between Disease X and the vaccine platform: media hype and profit for investors.
Thus is the entire Covid catastrophe encapsulated in a single case study:
- Scientists who worked on GoF pathogens and genetic platform MCM hid the fact that they knew SARS-CoV-2 was an engineered potential bioweapon
- They warned the world that this was a zoonotic virus of terrifying deadliness and transmissibility, creating the hype and panic necessary to shut the world down in anticipation of a gene vaccine
- The gene vaccine was developed through 'ongoing public- and private-sector partnerships' generating astronomical profits for all involved"
