Author’s Message to Readers
This article focussing on the alleged novel coronavirus is among the most important articles I have written.
There is an element of simplicity and common sense in the text. My objective is that the article will be extensively
read and debated at the grassroots of society, not only by scientists and medical doctors. The complexity of this crisis is overwhelming. This is not solely a “Public Health Crisis”.
The implications are far-reaching because the article refutes and invalidates ‘
everything” pertaining to the Covid pandemic. These include the policies related to
The Lockdown and the
Covid-19 “Vaccine”, not to mention the infamous
Pandemic Treaty and
The World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset”.

The official “corona narrative” is predicated on a “Big Lie” endorsed by corrupt politicians.
That “official consensus” is exceedingly fragile. Our intent is to precipitate its collapse
“like a house of cards”.
What is ultimately at stake is
the value of human life and the future of humanity.
“‘You Were Right, Vaccines Are Killing Millions of Our Loved Ones”, Kazuhiro Haraguchi, Japan’s former Minister of Internal Affairs’s
Our objective is to save lives including those of newly born babies who are the victims of the Covid-19 “Vaccine”.
At this juncture in our history, the priority is to “
Disable the Fear Campaign” and “
Cancel the Vaccine” (including the repeal of the so-called
“Pandemic Treaty”).
Hopefully this will set the stage for the development of
a Worldwide movement of solidarity, which questions the legitimacy of the powerful “Big Money” financial elites which are behind this infamous project.
Dear Readers, please forward this article and the video far and wide.

Introduction
Destabilizing the social, political and economic structure of 190 sovereign countries cannot constitute a “solution” to combating a novel coronavirus which mysteriously emerged in Wuhan, Hubei province (PRC) in late December 2019. That was the imposed “solution” —implemented in several stages from the very outset–, leading to The March 2020 Lockdown and the Rollout of a so-called Covid 19 “Vaccine” in December 2020, which since its inception has resulted in an upward trend in excess mortality.
It’s the destruction of people’s lives Worldwide. It is the destabilization of civil society.
Fake science was supportive of this devastating agenda. The lies were sustained by a massive media disinformation campaign. 24/7, Incessant and Repetitive “Covid alerts” in the course of more than three years. In turn, the ongoing fear campaign had devastating impacts on people’s health.
The historic March 11, 2020 lockdown triggered economic and social chaos Worldwide. It was an act of “economic warfare”: a war against humanity.
The New Virus: 2019-nCoV
The official story is that a dangerous
NEW VIRUS was detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. It was entitled
2019-nCoV which stands for “
2019 New
Corona (Co) Virus (V)”.
On January 1, 2020, “the Chinese health authorities closed the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan following Western media reports claiming that wild animals sold there may have been the source of the virus.
As of early January 2020, it was the object of extensive media coverage and an unfolding Worldwide fear campaign. Media disinformation 24/7 went into high gear.
The Chinese authorities (allegedly) “identified a new type of virus” on January 7, 2020, using the RT-PCR test. No specific details were provided regarding the process of isolation of the virus.
Failed Identification of the Novel Coronavirus
In late January 2020, the WHO confirmed that:
It did not possess an isolate of 2019-nCoV from a purified sample from an infected patient, which meant that they were
unable to confirm the identity of the novel coronavirus.
February 11, 2020. The Alleged “New Virus” is Renamed
In early February. 2020, following the failure to identify the novel coronavirus, a decision was taken to change its name to:
“
Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus”: SARS-CoV-2 which (according to the WHO)
is “similar” to a 20 year old virus entitled:
2003-SARS-CoV.
A Twenty Year Old 2003 Coronavirus Categorized in February 2020 as a “New Virus”?
Confirmed by the
WHO and
The New England Journal of Medicine, May 2003 (NEJM):
“A Novel Coronavirus Associated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome”
which broke out in China’s Southern Guangdong Province in 2002
WAS identified and
categorized as a “new virus” on May 15, 2003. (
More than 20 years ago).

“Big Money” and “Big Pharma” Meet at Davos
The alleged new virus was actively debated at the World Economic Forum (WEF), meeting in Davos Switzerland (January 22, 2020).
Proposed by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) an entity financed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
a 2019-nCoV vaccine program was put forth. Announced at Davos, Seattle-based Moderna (with the support of CEPI) was to manufacture an mRNA vaccine to build immunity against 2019-nCoV.
The evidence as well as the statements at Davos suggest that
the 2019-nCoV vaccine project was already underway in early 2019. And CEPI had foreknowledge regarding the announcement of the
2019-nCoV. (Michel Chossudovsky,
Chapter VIII).
Note: The development of
a 2019 nCoV vaccine was announced at Davos, 2 weeks after the January 7, 2020 announcement, and barely a week prior to the official launching of the WHO’s Worldwide Public Health emergency on January 30. The WEF-Gates-CEPI Vaccine Announcement precedes the WHO Public Health Emergency (PHEIC)
Lies and Falsehoods
All of this was unfolding at a time when the alleged
new coronavirus named 2019-nC0V had not been isolated, it’s identity had not been confirmed and the number of reported cases in China was exceedingly low: “As of 3 January 2020, there were 44 cases reported, 11 are severely ill, while the remaining 33 patients are in stable condition” (
WHO Report).
There was no evidence of an unfolding epidemic in China, nor was
there evidence of a lab leak, CEPI’s statement at Davos regarding “The Rapid Global Spread of the Novel Coronavirus” is a bold face lie. (See image above)

And then on January 30th, 2020, the Director General of the WHO
Dr. Tedros declared
a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) with absolutely no evidence of a threatening epidemic.
On that same day there were
83 positive cases Worldwide out of China for a population of 6.4 billion people. See table below:
5 positive cases in the U.S, 3 in Canada, 4 in France and 4 in Germany. Ask yourself does that constitute a Worldwide emergency?
And those (cumulative) cases were based on the RT-Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Test which
does not detect the identity of the virus. (See Appendix).
Screenshot from WHO, January 29, 2020.
Number of confirmed positive cases in US, Canada, France and Germany
Three weeks later at a press conference on the 20th of February 2020 the WHO Director-General
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus intimated that the pandemic was imminent:
“[I am] concerned that the chance to contain the coronavirus outbreak was “closing” …
“I believe the window of opportunity is still there, but that
the window is narrowing.”
What was the evidence put forth by Dr. Tedros in support of his bold statement?
On February 20, 2020, there were only
1076 confirmed [cumulative] cases outside China (including those of the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship stranded in Japan’s territorial waters).
On that same day, the WHO provided the data of confirmed cases
“by countries, territories or areas outside China”:
15 in the U.S., 8 in Canada, 16 in Germany, 12 in France, 9 in the U.K.
March 11, 2020: The historic COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, “Closing Down” of approximately 190 National Economies
The WHO Director-General had already set the stage in his February 21st Press Conference.
“The world should do more to prepare for a possible coronavirus pandemic.”
The WHO officially declared a worldwide pandemic at a time when there were
44,279 (cumulative) positive PCR Covid cases outside China for a population of 6.4 billion. (For details and analysis see Michel Chossudovsky,
Chapter II)

The October 2019 “Event 201” Simulation of a “Dangerous Virus” entitled nCoV-2019
Event 201 was a table top simulation of a coronavirus epidemic, sponsored by John Hopkins and the Gates Foundation.
T
he WHO initially adopted the same acronym, namely 2019-nCoV (to designate the novel coronavirus), as that of the Johns Hopkins simulated Pandemic Event 201 Exercise.
The name of the new coronavirus was (with the exception of the placement of 2019)
identical to that of the Event 201 simulation.
Attended by prominent personalities, The Simulation was held on October 18, 2019, less than three months before the announcement in early January 2020 of a new coronavirus.
Among the participants, were representatives (aka. decision-makers) from the WHO, US Intelligence, the Gates Foundation, the Global Alliance on Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) (financed by the Gates Foundation), the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), the World Economic Forum (WEF), the United Nations, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, Director Dr. George Fu Gao), Big Pharma, the World Bank, among others.
These various organizations played a key role when
the so-called pandemic went live in early 2020. Many features of the 201 “simulation exercise” did in fact correspond to what actually happened when the WHO Director-General launched a
Global Public Health Emergency (PHEIC) on January 30, 2020.
.

Moreover, the sponsors of Event 201 — including the WEF and the Gates Foundation — as well the participants were actively involved from the very outset in coordinating (and financing) COVID-19-related policies including the RT-PCR test, the March 2020 lockdown as well as as the mRNA vaccine, launched in December 2020
China’s CDC Director
Dr. George Fu Gao –who participated in the 201 simulation– played a central role in overseeing the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan in early 2020, acting in close liaison with his mentor
Dr. Anthony Fauci, as well as with the Gates Foundation, CEPI, et al.
Dr. Gao Fu is an Oxford graduate with links to Big Pharma. He was also for several years a fellow of the
Wellcome Charitable Foundation owned by GlaxoSmithKline (
GSK, plc).
The Mysterious “Identity of the New Virus”
The name of the virus was first identified:
- –October 2020: 201 Simulation Scenario October 2020: nCoV-2019
- –December 2019, Wuhan: 2019 nCoV
And then mysteriously another change in the name of the
novel coronavirus took place on February 11, 2020.
from
2019-nCoV to SARS-CoV-2, which stands for
“Severe acute respiratory syndrome”: SARS – Corona (Co) Virus(V)-2″.
There was no longer a “n” prefix (indicating that it was a NEW VIRUS). The “
n” prefix was replaced by a
“2” suffix
What is the meaning of
SARS-CoV-2. More specifically what is the meaning of the mysterious
“2” suffix? It pertains to a 20 year old virus entitled:
2003 -SARS-CoV, which can by no means be categorized as a NEW VIRUS
“New Virus” versus “Old Virus”: the 2002-2003 “Severe acute respiratory syndrome” (SARS)
SARS-CoV-2 –which since February 11, 2020 had become the official name of the
2019 novel coronavirus– is by no means
A NEW VIRUS.
Flash Back to China, Guangdong Province 2002-2003. Confirmed by the WHO and peer reviewed reports:
“A Novel Coronavirus Associated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome” broke out in Guangdong, Province, PRC in 2002. (
NEJM, May 2003)
SARS was categorized as a
Novel Coronavirus in 2003. i.e no longer
NEW. It was detected and isolated 20 years ago in early 2003.
.
The Essential Features of the 2003-SARS-CoV Virus
Confirmed by
the WHO
“the Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory disease caused by a SARS-associated coronavirus. It was first identified at the end of February 2003 [more than 20 years ago] during
an outbreak that emerged in China and spread to 4 other countries. …
A worldwide outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has been associated
with exposures originating from a single ill health care worker from Guangdong Province, China. We conducted studies to identify the etiologic agent of this outbreak.
…
a novel coronavirus was isolated from patients who met the case definition of SARS. … Consensus coronavirus primers designed to amplify a fragment of the polymerase gene by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to obtain a
sequence that clearly identified the isolate as a unique coronavirus only distantly related to previously sequenced coronaviruses.
What is significant in this report is that the WHO confirmed that the
novel 2003 coronavirus entitled
2003 SARS-CoV had been isolated from patients’ samples, identified and designated
“severe acute respiratory syndrome” in May 2003.
.
The identification of the virus adopted in the
NEJM (May 15, 2003) is as follows: (emphasis added)
“
We received clinical specimens from patients in seven countries and tested them, using virus-isolation techniques, electron-microscopical and histologic studies, and molecular and serologic assays, in an attempt to identify a wide range of potential pathogens
.
RESULTS: None of the previously described respiratory pathogens were consistently identified.
However, a novel coronavirus was isolated from patients who met the case definition of SARS. Cytopathological features were noted in Vero E6 cells inoculated with a throat-swab specimen.
Electron-microscopical examination revealed ultrastructural features characteristic of coronaviruses. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining revealed reactivity with group I coronavirus polyclonal antibodies.
.
Consensus coronavirus primers designed to amplify a fragment of the polymerase gene by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to obtain a sequence that clearly identified the isolate as a unique coronavirus only distantly related to previously sequenced coronaviruses.”
In the course of the last twenty years it must have resulted in multiple variants of the original
2003-SARS-Coronavirus.
.
Absence of An Isolate of the “New 2019 Virus (2019-nCoV)”
While the
2003 SARS-CoV was duly isolated, the WHO acknowledged in January 2020 that it did not have
an isolate and purified sample of the new 2019 coronavirus from an infected patient, which meant that
they were unable to confirm the identity of the (“dangerous”) 2019 novel coronavirus entitled 2019-nCoV. That was the reason given.
Sounds Absurd.
How was this matter resolved. Following advice from the Gates Foundation, the WHO was in liaison with the
Berlin Virology Institute at Charité Hospital.
Under the scientific guidance of
Dr. Christian Drosten, the Berlin Virology study was entitled:
Detection of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real time RT-PCR
The Berlin Virology Institute study firmly acknowledged that:
[While]… several viral genome sequences had been released,…
virus isolates or samples [of 2019-nCoV] from infected patients were not available …”
What the Berlin team recommended to the WHO was that in the absence of an isolate of the 2019-nCoV virus,
a similar 2003 SARS-CoV virus should be used as a “proxy” (point of reference) of the novel 2019 coronavirus:
“The genome sequences suggest presence of a virus closely related to the members of a viral species termed severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-related CoV, a species defined by the agent of the 2002/03 outbreak of SARS in humans [3,4].
We report on the the establishment and validation of a diagnostic workflow for 2019-nCoV screening and specific confirmation [using the RT-PCR test],
designed in absence of available virus isolates or original patient specimens. Design and validation were enabled by the close genetic relatedness to the 2003 SARS-CoV, and aided by the use of synthetic nucleic acid technology.” (
Eurosurveillance, January 23, 2020, emphasis added).
What this ambiguous statement suggests is that
the identity of 2019-nCoV was not required and that “COVID-19 confirmed cases” (aka infection resulting from the 2019 novel coronavirus) would be validated by
“the close genetic relatedness to the 2003 SARS-CoV.”
How could the new virus be categorized as
similar without having been identified, i.e. without an “isolate”? Moreover, bear in mind that while the PCR test does not detect the virus, it detects genetic fragments
(of numerous viruses).
