Covid-19 likely to be man made

    FYP
    Just look what is happening to the group of doctors in America that have come out and alleged that hydroxychloroquine does actually work in combating Covid19....... Lead by a scientist that believes that scientists are developing a vaccine to make people not religious and that witches and demons have sex with people in their dreams. When Facebook took down her claims as being against their misinformation policies she stated that Jesus Christ would take down their servers. Who believes in the healing power of prayer.

    Now I have no problems with people's beliefs but it has no place in the scientific method.

    Lead by scientists who, as others have said, have a vested financial interest in promoting these viewpoints.

    There would always be some dissenting voices and this can be healthy. Actual debate comparing and reviewing verifiable data is an important part of the scientific process. But when the dissenting voices are driven by religious/political beliefs (Those scientists are being sponsored by the right-wing Tea Party wing of the Republican Party) or by profit then their motives are suspect.

    These people are not brave, they are being driven not by science but by religious/political beliefs and profit.


    Yes ruin the reputation of a doctor just so you don't have to listen to what they actually have to say and personal testimony they are giving.


    Also it's very likely that the vaccine they will give is a RNA vaccine. Which sounds to me that it basically alters your DNA. We don't really know what repercussions that will happen in the long term by altering Human genetic make up.


    From a religious or christian point of view this is the start of genetically engineering humans, which would be changing us from what God the creator would have intended us to be.



    I personally prefer Organic Foods over genetically modified foods and certainly will be very cautions when taking something that can alter me in such a way.


    Here as some details about those doctors. I really can't see any financial motive behind their actions.



    Simone Gold, MD - Emergency Medicine Specialist in Los Angeles, CA and has over 31 years of experience in the medical field. She graduated from Rosalind Franklin University Of Medicine Science/The Chicago Medical School medical school in 1989. She is affiliated with Centinela Hospital Medical Center.

    Dr. Bob Hamilton - pediatrician from Santa Monica, California. Medical School UCLA Geffen School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA. Internship UCLA Geffen School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA. Residency UCLA Geffen School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA.

    Dr. Stella Emmaneul - primary care doctor in Houston, Tx. Went to medical school in West Africa, Nigeria. Has practiced in Louisiana and now resides in Texas where she has treated more than 350 Covid patients.

    Dr. Dan Erickson, DO - Emergency Medicine Specialist in Bakersfield, CA and has over 16 years of experience in the medical field. He graduated from Western Univ Of Health Sciences/College Of Osteopathic Medicine Of The Pacific, Western University Of Health Sciences medical school in 2004. (While both degrees mean your doctor is a licensed physician, their training differs slightly, and each has a unique perspective on care. “An M.D. follows an allopathic medical training path, whereas a D.O. follows osteopathic,”)


    Dr. James Todaro, MD - a Ophthalmology Specialist received his medical degree from Columbia University, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons in NY, and completed his surgical training with four additional years of residency in ophthalmology.


    Dr. Joe Ladapo MD, PhD - Physician at UCLA and clinical researcher. Internal Medicine, American Board of Internal Medicine, 2011.

    Residency Internal Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Med Ctr-East Campus, 2009-2011.

    Dunno. Never said they had a financial motive. They could be wrong for a great number of reasons.


    But that's an argument from authority. As you've admitted, you don't know what evidence he's produced, if any at all.

    And again, you're still ignoring the other point.
    Other "experts" with the same level of authority claim all sorts of wrong and wacky stuff.
    "Experts" claimed that SARS was man made.
    The same was said of MERS, Zika, Ebola, AIDS...

    Do you believe all of those are man made?

    I don't think you do, hence why you keep dodging the point.

    You know those claims were crap and the authority of the experts who promote those claims isn't very convincing.




    I'm not a scientist so I don't know if all those viruses were man made or not.


    But I would like a very open inquiry into them all.


    Are you saying that it's not possible that these viruses are man made and all have come about by totally natural means?

    Ophthalmology Specialist?
    Osteopath?

    I'm sure most of them are grand in an ER ward but this is a different question entirely.

    I have not seen any convincing evidence to that effect. For the most part I've just seen bad arguments like the one you presented which relies on an appeal to authority.

    It's a bit weird that you're asking me a question when you've dodged so many of mine.

    Motive - they are plenty - Financial gain for people not collecting their pensions?

    The excuse to completely lock down the world and implement any dictatorial style laws to their liking?
    The huge financial gain of selling vaccines.
    The transfer of all wealth to the few.

    I asked you to explain which diseases were man made. - I said that I don't know and I think it's very possible that the diseases could be man made.


    When it comes to believing experts who claim it's man made - I think the world is too quick to try and dismiss these things without giving them the due consideration they deserve.


    The conspiracy theory for covid19 is different because 1. it effects so many nations. 2 it is quickly changing the world into a dictatorial regime. 3. there so happens to be the Wuhan lab in the very vicinity of where the virus was found. This is at the very least highly suspicious.


    The arguments of it being a natural virus seems to largely came very earliy on in March from Scripps Research, Tulane University, University of Sydney, University of Edinburgh, and Columbia University.


    https://bgr.com/2020/03/19/coronavirus-update-covid-19-is-a-natural-evolution-not-man-made/



    There are not to be dismissed but also what they studied was only part of the Genome of Covid19 not the complete genome.


    There has been claims since that this was an accident leaked from the Wuhan labs which I find that is more likely to be the case.


    They might have been storing a naturally occurring virus for research and experimenting on it.



    However when notable scientists come out refuting that it has occurred naturally and saying that it's a man made virus then I would like an open inquiry at the least into their claims.


    I want the truth.

    Indeed, and stressing national healthcare systems, tanking the respective economies and having a drastic impact on the bottom lines of companies and corporations

    Someone in another thread pointed the finger at pharmaceutical companies and claimed they were behind this because they were making money from the pandemic, but using that logic then so are mask-makers, respirator manufacturers, laptop manufacturers, video-conferencing app makers and so on and so on

    People need to engage a slight amount of critical thinking here

    Neither of which are actually answers. They're wishy washy answers that don't require any commitment.

    So do you believe that all diseases can man made? Or just the ones I listed? And all of them, or just one or two of them?

    What about the ones you don't believe are man made? Are the experts who disagree with you just stupid or...? Why do you disagree with them?

    They use their authority to give weight to these false claims, and in some cases to sell books.

    Some relevant info here; China only released the genome sequencing after three other labs had already mapped it. Serious obfuscation and you'd have to wonder the motive.

    Ok, how much does he make every year from his job?
    How much will he make from his book?

    Please provide this evidence.

    If you can't, then you can't exclude the possibility that he stands to make more from a book than from his job.

    Also you'll have to factor in the other sources of revenue he could gain from becoming the "maverick expert". Such as other books. Speaking engagements, lectures and talks at various "alternative" events. Or guest spots on conspiratorial media.

    You'll also have to show that he is guaranteed to lose his other sources of income and isn't protected by something like tenure.

    So when you can show all that, then you can claim he has no profit motive.
    Otherwise, he does have a profit motive, you just ignore it because you agree with his claims and you're applying a double standard.

    If you are referring to Luc Montagnier, then there do seem to be reasons to doubt the veracity of his claims

    For example:

    https://science.thewire.in/the-sciences/luc-montagnier-coronavirus-wuhan-lab-pseudoscience/
    The Indian study Montagnier referred to had been authored by a team from IIT Delhi, among others. They had uploaded their manuscript to the bioRxiv preprint repository only to quickly take it down after commentators pointed out numerous errors in their analysis.
    An article published more recently in the journal Nature Medicine analysing the new virus’s genome concluded thus: “Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”
    What Montagnier called the “elements” of HIV were short cis-acting elements that scientists had discovered in the genome of coronaviruses in 2005. They are required for genome replication and are shared by many coronaviruses. So if what Montagnier said is true, the whole family of coronaviruses – which originated over 10,000 years ago – would have to be lab-made, and this is obviously nonsensical.

    Many experts have already pointed out this obvious flaw in Montagnier’s argument. As Étienne Simon-Lorière, a professor at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, said, “If we take a word from a book and it looks like another word, can we say that one has copied from the other? This is absurd!”

    It is surprising to have a scientist of Montagnier’s stature utter such questionable statements – although Montagnier himself is a controversial figure. Among other causes, he has supported anti-vaxxers, homeopathy and a silly claim that DNA emits “electromagnetic waves”.

    For example:

    https://science.thewire.in/the-sciences/luc-montagnier-coronavirus-wuhan-lab-pseudoscience/
    According to that link he said:
    As he lost credibility among his peers, scientific agencies around Europe began to reject his grant applications, and eventually he was left with no money to pursue his ideas. In a 2010 interview, Montagnier said he was leaving Europe to “escape the intellectual terror.” He added, “I’m no longer allowed to work at a public institute (in France). I have applied for funding from other sources, but I have been turned down.”

    So it sounds less like he's losing a job and more like he's in need of funding.

    So there is a financial motive for him to be less than honest.
    But because he's in agreement with conspiracy theories, I'm sure that still won't count.

To my knowledge biohazard waste is disposed of in a different way to regular waste like that disposed of in municipal bins.

    I am not going to argue with you any further because it is clear your function is to refute (you might say debunk :D) any opinion that does not follow to the letter the regulations which we receive in the mainstream media and from our government. If that is your job here that's fine but please do not tell people they suggested something they did not or accused the government of something they did not. If you do this it invalidates your arguments.

    Do you dispose of your tissues in a biohazard bin?
    Beverage can or bottle you drank from?
    Why are masks different to any other piece of rubbish handled by bin staff.

    What are the bin staff going to do with the mask to get infected from it.
    Come into contact is vague...they have to do more than come into contact to get infected.

    The line of infection to bin worker you are trying to is not convincing and has nothing to do with masks.

    All the while you ignore the risks masks are meant to protect against... inhaled droplets.

    Yes, there might be some virus on the masks.
    But it will be on the mask. It will not be airbourne and it will not be wafting off the mask like a miasma.
    So there is a risk to people if they are licking the masks from the bins or the ones from the ground, or if they put their hand straight into their mouth after touching them.

    So then why does the government not insist on anyone buying biohazard bins and insist that people use them for their masks?

    Why do they and doctors not share your concern that not using them will result in the pandemic lasting longer?
    Are you suggesting that you just know more than them?

    I am not a scientist so I don't fully understand the genetics behind the virus which causes COVID-19. I also cannot understand why so many heavy handed control measures bordering on Martial Law were brought in worldwide because of this virus. People were first told to wear gloves but were not told to dispose of them in a special biohazard unit. Now people are being told to wear mask and have not been told to dispose of them in a special biohazard unit. The advice from governments all over the world changes all the time like they're making it up as they go along. The only thing that doesn't change is people's lack of freedom.

    The Covid-19 crisis is a dictatorial megalomaniac's wet dream.

    If China won’t make a fortune with a vaccine to their virus they are cashing in on us with their double dildo and mass mask production.

    Telling people to wear masks.

    Exactly the same as Nazism apparently.

    I guess the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic was a conspiracy as well.

    Every Disease is man made and part of a conspiracy apparently.

    AIDS, Zika, Ebola, SARS, MERS... All made in a lab to bring about martial law. And they all succeeded.

    Right, so they've succeeded in getting everyone to wear masks, what is supposed to happen next?

    One world government?
    Bill Gates microchips everyone?
    Something something evil leftist ploy?

    But most likely whole thing eventually blows over, a few years pass and conspiracy theorists start the whole cycle again for the next big event and will insist that it's finally the real deal and it would be really martial law this time.

    Yup exactly like they did when swine flu hit and conspiracy theorists were claiming the same stuff then.

    Ignoring the rest of my points I take it?

    I think the Nazis would have gone for herd immunity...
    Plus won't all these masks make it harder for CCTV and facial recognition systems to work in public?
    I would have thought anyone concerned about privacy would welcome a reason to wear a mask.

    Some relevant info here; China only released the genome sequencing after three other labs had already mapped it. Serious obfuscation and you'd have to wonder the motive.

    Probably something stupid like bureaucracy that delayed the release.
    Did other labs in China get this information?

    We know the Chinese government was trying to cover up this virus by suppressing reports from doctors and spin the line it was primarily spread by contact \ touch rather than droplets person to person. When an authoritarian government acts that way and sits on data, it's not a conspiracy theory, it's their general operating principle. It still doesn't speak to it being man made necessarily, whether accidentally or deliberately (a very high bar).

    China may know more that they will reveal. I believe that much at least.

    Why is no one in China getting sick? Makes no sense, it got out, infected 1000s and then they stopped it, some how they stopped it, and it was more that social distancing, because the whole world tried that, even New Zealand are getting cases, while China is not?
    Something doesn't add up

    According to Davide Icke there is a surge in what he calls mask mouth. Another victory for George Soros.

    Various scientists have now come out and said that it's very likely that Covid 19 is a man made virus.

    There no evidence this is a man-made virus. The reality is it's a nature virus
    and origin it came from bats.

    I think most people are confusing statements here that scientists are claiming a lab created an entire new virus from nothing, that's unrealistic here for this type of virus.

    Tampering with a bat viruses is not science fiction.

    it's a great excuse to implement policies not seen since world war 2 though.

    Look at New Zealand with the lowest number of covid cases implementing camps for anyone who is a confirmed or in close proximity to a confirmed case.

    Lol.

    Again, why do you guys have to be so dishonest to promote your conspiracy theory?

    Not sure what you're on about, USSR had camps for political dissidents.
    Such countries don't need the excuse of pandemics.

    The people NZ are isolating are there for no other reason except they are suspected of having an infectious disease.
    They aren't being put there for political reasons.
    They will be released when their medical treatment and quarantine period are over.

    It's tenuous and offensive to the real victims of such camps to draw an equivalence.

    People being quarantined against there will. What happens to people who refuse?


    Can't you see that this is just the start.

    Ireland has had such legislation since world war 2 and is a legacy of previous diseases such as TB.
    It's not the start of anything. It's part of ending this virus or at least keeping a lid on it until a vaccine is available.
    There is no conspiracy theory connecting to such legislation.

    There is zero evidence Western democracies are abusing such powers as a means of silencing or suppressing political opponents.

    If I'm wrong yes I will admit it. I sure hope so.


    Just looks to me like the world is starting to shape up to almost like the book of revelation told us about thousands of years ago.


    I think in another 5 - 10 years we will see a lot of troubled times. With people being hugely divided.



    Just look at the US...it's at the brink of a civil war. What happens to the rest of the world if it does go into an actual Civil War. Would that weaken the US so much to allow other Super Power like Russia and China to gain far more power then the already have and then using that to pressure Governments to follow their mandates.




    Covid19 does originate from a natural virus. However this natural virus could have been easily manipulated by man too evolve in a way to make it more deadly to humans.


    For example, They have a sample of covid that effects a certain animal. They try genetically modifying this but it fails or doesn't work very well.


    So instead the purposely infect other animals which in turn allows the virus to evolve naturally, to become more effective across a number of species.


    While a virus could seam totally natural. It doesn't mean that the original virus has not being manipulated by man to create different strains through infecting other types of animals with it and allowing it to evolve under lab conditions.
