Covid Came from Italy
Why is Patient Zero a state secret?
"The results of that study showed beyond a reasonable doubt that this virus had been spreading in America by at least November 2019. Lockdowns marketed to “slow” or “stop” the “spread” of this virus could not have achieved this objective". Bill Rice.
Covid-19 came from Italy in 2019, spread to France, to both US coasts, then to China at the International Military Games, a spreader event in Wuhan.
We won’t know the whole story until we locate Patient Zero and therein lies a problem: after WHO inspectors dated China’s earliest case to September, 2019, Western nations reneged on their promised inspections and shaped our attention on wunderwaffen vaccines. The media, having pinned Covid’s tail on the Chinese donkey, cooperated enthusiastically and there, as far as the general public is concerned, the matter rests.
Revenge of the Geeks
Happily, researchers in government labs dodged the censors and published their findings in medical journals. A CDC team checked the seropositivity of Red Cross blood samples from November, 2019 and concluded, “SARS-CoV-2 may have been introduced into the United States prior to 19 January 2020”. Their figures suggest that millions of Americans were infected in late 2019, but the media evinced zero interest in the findings and their implications.
An NIH team certified Lovell ‘Cookie’ Brown as the first person to die of Covid – in Kansas, on January 9, 2020 – two days before China’s first fatality. Media ignored the story, despite the fact that death doubling times (44-50 days) show Covid established in the US in 2019.
The mysterious respiratory deaths of that summer supports the NIH’s date, as do thousands of US cases dating back to March, 2019, some subsequently confirmed by blood tests.
Over in Italy..
Italian researchers found similar patterns. Initially skeptical, they verified their results with a Netherlands reference lab before concluding, “This study shows an unexpected, very early circulation of SARS-CoV-2 among asymptomatic individuals in Italy several months before the first patient was identified, and clarifies the onset and spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic”.
National labs found similar patterns in Brazil, Spain, and France: “Analyzing Covid genomes using the k-mer natural vector method, we conclude that the virus likely already existed in France, India, Netherlands, England, and the US before the Wuhan outbreak”.
So why is Patient Zero a state secret? Clearly, the fat lady has yet to sing the final Covid aria.
I have a different theory. There wasn’t just one leak/release, SARS-CoV-2 was circulating in the US in spring 2019 sooner, and more attention needs to be paid to the possibility that America is at least partly responsible.
Seems at this point unlikely we will ever hear the final aria. Perhaps in less combative times international cooperation would have been possible to determine Patient Zero, but the pandemic has been so politicized, as has so much else.
Lots of people think evidence supports the lab leak hypothesis, which, apropos of the above, begs the question: which lab and where? Presumably not the "infamous" Wuhan lab upon which Fauci had fixed his tentacles.
