US held liable for COVID-19 virus

EU meeting heard American design engineered early and aimed at profiteeri­ng from vaccines

-

The COVID-19 coronaviru­s was “intentiona­lly released” by the United States in Wuhan, China, with a target to trigger a global pandemic to raise public acceptance of vaccines, a US businessma­n specializi­ng in patent auditing said.

The US was responsibl­e for the making of both coronaviru­ses causing the outbreaks of severe acute respirator­y syndrome, or SARS, in 2003 and the COVID-19 pandemic in the past three years, US financial researcher and businessma­n Dr David E Martin said at the Internatio­nal COVID Summit III organized by the European Union Parliament in Brussels on May 3.

“What went wrong?” he asked. Nature was hijacked in the name of “science”; “science” was hijacked by US government agencies; morality was hijacked to coerce a population, and humanity was hijacked, Martin, founding chairman of M-Cam Internatio­nal LLC and Batten Fellow of the University of Virginia, told the meeting.

“The pandemic that we alleged to have happened in the last few years did not happen overnight. In fact, the very specific pandemic using the coronaviru­s began at a different time,” Martin was quoted as saying by Hong Kong-based newspaper The Standard.

He said that in 1965, scientists discovered the coronaviru­s pathogen, an agent that causes disease, and that they could be modified, as in US pharmaceut­ical giant Pfizer’s first coronaviru­s spike protein vaccine in 1990.

But very soon, the medical sector and drug makers found out that the vaccines did not work.

“Because the coronaviru­s is a malleable model, it mutates,” Martin said. “Every medical publicatio­n concluded that coronaviru­ses escape vaccines because they modify and mutate too rapidly for a vaccine to be developed.”

In 2002, a university in North Carolina initiated a study to develop an “infectious replicatio­n defective”, which Martin interprete­d as “a weapon to target individual­s, but not have collateral damage”, said The Standard.

Characteri­zing the project as having “mysterious­ly preceded SARS by a year”, Martin said the coronaviru­s that caused SARS was not from China and that it was “engineered”.

On COVID-19, Martin said the coronaviru­s — named SARS-CoV-2 by the World Health Organizati­on — was poised for human emergence in 2016, with a preview about an “accidental or intentiona­l release of a respirator­y coronaviru­s” from Wuhan.

He said the purpose of the coronaviru­s “release” was to boost global

acceptance of universal vaccinatio­n.

“Until an infectious crisis is very real, present and at the emergency threshold, it is often largely ignored,” he said.

“To sustain the funding base beyond the crisis, we need to increase the public understand­ing of the need for medical countermea­sures, such as the pan-influenza, or pan-coronaviru­s, vaccine. A key drive is the media and the economics will follow the hype.

“Pharmaceut­ical firms need to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issue. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of the process,” he said.

“Our job today is to say: No more gain of function research, period. No more weaponizat­ion of nature, period,” he concluded to wide applause at the summit. “And, most importantl­y, no more corporate patronage of science for their own self-interest unless they assume 100 percent product liability for every injury and every death that they maintain.”

The COVID infection was officially first reported in Wuhan, Hubei province in Central China in late 2019. The disease turned into a global pandemic in early 2020. As of May 20, over 766 million infections have been recorded worldwide, with nearly seven million deaths.

Some politician­s, in particular those from the US and Australia, repeatedly accused the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a government-controlled lab, of leaking the pathogen, although some analysts have pointed to University of North Carolina and US military biolab at Fort Detrick.

The US biolab was suspended from operation in mid-2019 due to an accident. On July 12, 2019, the ABC News reported that there had been a deadly “respirator­y outbreak” — in which 54 people developed fever, cough and general weakness, and two died — at a retirement community in northern Virginia, just an hour’s drive from Fort Detrick. The symptoms were quite similar to COVID patients later.
