TR EMERITUS

On September 4, I reported that Japanese scientists had examined Covid and its variants and found that all are Laboratory creations. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2023/09/04/japanese-scientists-find-that-covid-19-and-all-of-the-variants-are-laboratory-creations/ This discovery raises the dangerous and disturbing question why a laboratory is producing viruses with which to infect humans.

I contacted a scientist who had been involved in the study of the original SARS for his evaluation and explanation of the Japanese scientists’ report. His explanation is below. It is challenging for non-professionals to follow, but less so than the Japanese study itself. As I understand the findings, it is the absence of synonymous mutations in the variants that reveal that Covid and its variants are lab creations.

I suspect that the Japanese study will be suppressed and that any American or Western scientist who took up this inquiry would find himself cut off from research funds and his career terminated.

Unnatural origins of Covid and its Variants

Marc G. Wathelet, Ph.D.

The origin of SARS-CoV-2, the etiological agent of COVID-19, remains controversial more than 3 years after its identification. Is this virus the product of a natural zoonotic event at a meat market in Wuhan or does it come from a laboratory working on coronaviruses? These two hypotheses are currently unresolved but a recent preprint sheds much light on the issue, and raises some troubling questions.

This preprint “Unnaturalness in the evolution process of the SARS-CoV-2 variants and the possibility of deliberate natural selection” (https://zenodo.org/record/8216373), by Atsushi Tanaka and Takayuki Miyazawa from Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University and from Kyoto University, was written for scientists. Here is an attempt at making their findings accessible to a larger audience.

Their analysis of Omicron variants led them to the conclusion that “the formations of a part of Omicron isolates BA.1, BA.1.1, and BA.2 were not the products of genome evolution as is commonly observed in nature.” How did they come to such a startling conclusion? They started their work by analyzing the sequence of the Spike protein from a number of isolates of the virus.\\

The most parsimonious hypothesis to account for the observations reported by Tanaka and Miyazawa is that the Omicron lineage BA.1 and BA.2, as well as all their single amino acid revertants found in databases, are specifically designed and generated laboratory products.
