Dear KAG: 20200916 Open Thread

In April a third scientist confirmed the virus was man-made Czech Microbiologist Says #Covid_19 Virus Was Created In A Laboratory
Apr 6, 2020

Dr. Sona Pek is one of the top molecular biologists in the world. She was the first to develop a test to identify the presence of Coronavirus in the human body. It is called the simple test. She has also analyzed the virus at the molecular level.
Her finding is that the virus is man-made, in a laboratory. That is, that its genetic code has been modified by human intervention.
The test she developed can detect the presence of COVID-19 in just one hour. She has published her findings and offered them free to medical experts around the world.
The interesting part of the interview starts around 15 minutes where she describes unnatural mutation of the virus with a high probability of unnatural genetic manipulation. The last three minutes of this DEVASTATE the notion this is a naturally-occurring virus.….

The video has English captions and is 20 minutes long

Last you have a paper from South China University of Technology:
The possible origins of 2019-nCoV coronavirus

Abstract
The 2019-nCoV has caused an epidemic of 28,060 laboratory-confirmed infections in human including 564 deaths in China by February 6, 2020. Two descriptions of the virus published on Nature this week indicated that the genome sequences from patients were almost identical to the Bat CoV ZC45 coronavirus. It was critical to study where the pathogen came from and how it passed onto human. An article published on The Lancet reported that 27 of 41 infected patients were found to have contact with the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory. Our proposal provided an alternative origin of the coronavirus in addition to natural recombination and intermediate host.

Within the paper the authors say

…The bats carrying CoV ZC45 were originally found in Yunnan or Zhejiang province, both of which were more than 900 kilometers away from the seafood market. Bats were normally found to live in caves and trees. But the seafood market is in a densely-populated district of Wuhan, a metropolitan of ~15 million people. The probability was very low for the bats to fly to the market. According to municipal reports and the testimonies of 31 residents and 28 visitors, the bat was never a food source in the city, and no bat was traded in the market. There was possible natural recombination or intermediate host of the coronavirus, yet little proof has been reported.
Was there any other possible pathway? We screened the area around the seafood market and identified two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus. Within ~280 meters from the market, there was the Wuhan Center for Disease Control & Prevention (WHCDC) (Figure 1, from Baidu and Google maps). WHCDC hosted animals in laboratories for research purpose, one of which was specialized in pathogens collection and identification 4-6. In one of their studies, 155 bats including Rhinolophus affinis were captured in Hubei province, and other 450 bats were captured in Zhejiang province 4. The expert in collection was noted in the Author Contributions (JHT). Moreover, he was broadcasted for collecting viruses on nation-wide newspapers and websites in 2017 and 2019….

Therefore there is great likelihood the virus came from a Wuhan laboratory and not a seafood market.
EXCLUSIVE: Virus researchers uncover new evidence implying COVID-19 was created in a lab
Preliminary study results suggest virus was produced in lab cultures using human cells.

May 16, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A team of Australian scientists has produced new evidence that the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is optimized for penetration into human cells rather than animal cells, undermining the theory that the virus randomly evolved in an animal subject before passing into human beings, and suggesting instead that it was developed in a laboratory.

May 21, 2020 Washington Times article:
*https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/21/australian-researchers-see-virus-design-manipulati/

Professor Dr. Francis A. Boyle has been sounding the alarm about bio-weapon research. I looked at the two papers he points us to and the people involved. Professor Dr. Francis A. Boyle is ”… a leading American expert international law; responsible for drafting the Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act of 89…”
So he had a major hand in developing the following:
Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 was passed into law in 1990. It provided for the implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention as well as criminal penalties for violation of its provisions. The law was amended in 1996 and has been used to prosecute several individuals.
*https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Anti-Terrorism_Act_of_1989
Biological Weapons Convention was the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning the production of an entire category of weapons.  It currently commits the 170 states which are party to it to prohibit the development, production, and stockpiling of biological and toxin weapons. However, the absence of any formal verification regime to monitor compliance has limited the effectiveness of the Convention. As of April 2013, an additional 10 states have signed the BWC but have yet to ratify the treaty.

CHINA is a signatory as is the USA.

This is an interview of Dr Boyle by Alex Jones. Luckily there is a transcript.

And there is a second , later interview with Dr Boyle:

One paper, published June 22, 2010, is from Australia. ALL the scientists are Chinese and it is partly funded by China.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) proteins of different bat species confer variable susceptibility to SARS-CoV entry
*https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00705-010-0729-6
KEY PASSAGE in the Aussie paper:

Chimeric ACE2 construction
…Chimeric ACE2 was constructed by combining the N-terminal region of bat ACE2 with the C-terminal portion of human ACE2 at the unique BamHI site (1,070–1,075 bp). The chimera was subsequently cloned into pCDNA3.1 with KpnI and XhoI and sequenced as above….
Pseudotype virus infection assays
An HIV-1-luciferase pseudotype virus carrying the SARS-CoV BJ01 S protein, HIV/BJ01-S, was prepared as described previously HeLa cells were seeded onto 96-well plates for 18 h and then transfected with 0.2 μg recombinant plasmid containing bat or human ACE2 using 0.5 μL Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol…..

He then refers to a second later paper from the University of North Carolina:
November 8, 2015
“A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence.”
AGAIN there are two KEY WORDS in the Abstract.
Key word ‘generated’

GENERATED:
to bring into existence; cause to be; produce.
to create by a vital or natural process
to produce by a chemical process.
*https://www.dictionary.com/browse/generated

Key word is ‘chimeric’

CHIMERIC:
composed of material (such as DNA or polypeptide) from more than one organism a chimeric gene … scientists have created so-called chimeric antibodies, using genetic engineering to fuse variable regions derived from mouse antibodies with a constant region derived from human antibodies.
*https://www.merriam-webster.com/medical/chimeric

So Dr Boyle is correct the UNC Lab did produce a gain of function SARS like virus as did the Australian lab.

Gain-of-function” is the euphemism for biological research aimed at increasing the virulence and lethality of pathogens and viruses.

(good article BTW)
And LOOK who funded it! The National Institutes of Health under Fauci AND the State Key Program for Basic Research Grants from the Chinese Ministry of Science. Fauci not only funded the initial research but indicated interest in funding further research which he did by sending TAX PAYER DOLLARS to Professor Zhengli Shi at the Wuhan Lab. She was an author of BOTH of the above papers as well as the director of the lab where the Chinese Corona Crud ‘escaped’….
