Unraveling the Alarming Developments: Chinese Scientists and the Lethal COVID-19 Strain
In a recent interview, an individual referred to as the original whistleblower for COVID-19, expressed deep concern over Chinese scientists allegedly experimenting with a more lethal strain of the virus.
The interviewee, Jamie Metzel, highlighted the lack of transparency from China and the potential risks associated with such experiments. This article delves into the key points raised in the interview and explores the broader implications of these revelations.
The Ongoing Mystery of COVID-19 Origins
Metzel begins by addressing the lack of progress in investigating the origins of COVID-19, more than four years after the initial spillover.
He criticizes China for obstructing international investigations, destroying records, and preventing its scientists from openly discussing the pandemic’s origins. According to Metzel, the situation is atrocious, and the absence of accountability raises concerns about the potential risks posed by Chinese scientists engaging in risky experiments.
Concerns Over Experimenting with a More Lethal Strain
The conversation shifts to reports suggesting that Chinese scientists are working on a more lethal version of COVID-19.
Metzel expresses alarm, emphasizing that while developing vaccines against deadly viruses is reasonable, the substandard biosafety conditions in many Chinese laboratories pose a significant risk. He highlights the need for high standards in handling such viruses to prevent unintended consequences.
Lab Leak Theory and Endorsement by Authorities
Metzel, one of the early proponents of the lab leak theory, acknowledges that many people now believe in the possibility of an accidental research-related incident in Wuhan.
He notes that the U.S. Department of Energy and the FBI have endorsed the lab leak theory. The conversation touches upon the conditions required for responsible research and the potential dangers if those standards are not met.
China’s Lack of Transparency
The discussion then turns to a Wall Street Journal report indicating that China withheld information about the virus’s sequencing for two weeks in December 2019.
Metzel criticizes China for prioritizing its internal politics and the interests of the Chinese Communist Party over global well-being. He emphasizes the missed opportunity for early preventive measures and vaccine development that could have saved millions of lives.
The Political Pandemic and Unique Pathologies of the Chinese State
Metzel concludes by stating that COVID-19 was a political pandemic, attributing its severity to the unique pathologies of the Chinese State.
He argues that, without these factors, there might not have been a pandemic at all. The interview raises questions about the need for accountability and transparency in handling global health crises.
The Unsettling Revelation of a More Lethal Strain
The second part of the article shifts to a different perspective on the same issue, discussing a report that Chinese scientists have developed a mutant COVID-19 strain with alarming characteristics.
The report suggests that the virus, when tested on humanized mice, demonstrated 100% lethality and caused changes in the mice’s immune systems.
Lack of U.S. Government Response
The article criticizes the apparent lack of response from the U.
S. government to this unsettling revelation. It questions why such a significant development has not garnered widespread attention and emphasizes the potential risks associated with experimenting on a more lethal strain of the virus.
Expert Opinion on the Experimental Strain
Former Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.
S. Department of Health and Human Services, Dr. Brett Jir, provides his perspective on the reported experiment. Dr. Jir expresses deep concern about the study’s content and the lack of transparency regarding the genetic sequence of the virus. He calls for President Biden to demand this information from China to ensure global understanding and preparedness.
Urgent Call for Attention and Action
The article concludes with a call for urgent attention to the reported experiment and the need for decisive action from the U.
S. government. It questions why the issue has not gained more traction in public discourse and calls on authorities to prioritize investigating and addressing the potential risks associated with experimenting on a more lethal COVID-19 strain.
In the face of these revelations, the article underscores the importance of international cooperation, transparency, and accountability to navigate the complexities of global health challenges.
