Chinese scientists exposed in November, 2015, you decide.

Five years ago, Italian state owned media Company, Rai – Radiotelevisione Italiana, exposed dark efforts by China on viruses. The video, which was broadcast in November, 2015, showed how Chinese scientists were doing biological experiments on a SARS connected virus believed to be Coronavirus, derived from bats and mice, asking whether it was worth the risk in order to be able to modify the virus for compatibility with human organisms.

Chinese scientists have created a pulmonary supervirus from bats and mice only for study reasons but there are many questionable aspects to this. Is it worth the risk? It's an experiment, of course, but it is worrisome. It worries many scientists: It is a group of Chinese researchers attaching a protein taken from bats to the SARS virus, Acute Pneumonia, derived from mice. The output is a super coronavirus that could affect man. It remains closed in laboratories and it is only for study purposes, but is it worth the risk – creating such a great threat only for examination purposes?

As soon that this broadcast went viral on the Italian social media, journalists and experts began explaining it away saying, that the virus in the video was not COVID-19. Even the British journal Nature, which wrote the very publication this Italian show was based on, clarified that the virus the broadcast talked about was not related to the "Natural" COVID-19.

However, that is beside the point. This is not to say that the viruses are literally the same. This is to say that the information presented in the video is consistent with the information that China is doing a lot of research on bioweapons, and that the impact of the virus in the broadcast has a lot in common with mainstream information about the symptoms of COVID-19.

And yet, here we are.

The report was made 5 years ago. A report of China manipulating viruses. Not in a good way either.
Now the world is in a desperate struggle against a virus that is unusually virulent.

Maybe it was an accidental release. In all likelihood it was, as an intentional use would not have such a robust survival rate.  But however it occurred, China owns this.

But however it occurred, China owns this.

Bingo.  They knew about it before the doctor blew his whistle.   He died a martyr.   They knew it was virulent.   They lied about human to human contact,  R0 values and mortality rates and then tried to kick the whole shebang under the rug - -  knowing full well this had global pandemic potential.

They didn't give us a "heads up"  out of courtesy and now we're getting beaned in the noggin.

Thanks again,  China!

There are more "theories" than one can count. I doubt we'll ever know the truth. We have to deal with it now and move on to the next crises. Kinda like the Kennedy assassination. Probably even one about how he crossed the Clintons.
