Chapter 17 in R.M. Dolin’s book, “Truth and Trust in Crisis.” 2021
We have come to the point in our COVID journey where we must address the biggest unresolved question; why? While we’ve strived to stay in our scientific swim lane, now is when we integrate quantitative evidence with qualitative conjecture. In chapter one you were invited to join me as a fellow scientist with an obligation to challenge my analyses and multiple instances were pointed out where I hoped you’d find me wrong; here though, is where I most hope you step up.
Once COVID postmortems are written many theories will have been postulated regarding why the virus was created, why it was released, why wide-spread panic was promoted and allowed to build into mass hysteria, why data was falsified to fulfill narratives that went unchecked and unchallenged, why STEM professionals abdicated their responsibilities, why academia practiced malfeasance while medical professionals performed malpractice, and why you allowed yourself to be so easily manipulated.
Applying the principle of Occam’s Razor, I will offer one plausible theory to explain everything that happened start to finish in the COVID crisis; one simple observation, namely, “it didn’t work.”
Laying Out Whys
1.Why are there no dead bats? If, as we are told, COVID came from bats, where are they? When avian flu rears up, we euthanize millions of fowl, when swine flu takes off, we eliminate droves of pigs, when equine flu prevails, entire herds are put down. The only plausible reasons there’s no dead bats is because COVID didn’t come from bats?
2. Why does the initial UK model project 2 million Americans die in seven months when there is no observational evidence to suggest COVID is more deadly than previous coronaviruses? Why are their projections orders of magnitude wrong yet no one in government, academia or medicine challenges it? Why does the equally outrageous University of Washington model that is consistently wrong by factors of ten become standard gospel for messaging and policy? Are the faculty at these universities that incompetent or do they have inside information on just how deadly COVID’s been designed to be? Since their projections are clearly not based on observational evidence, they must be based on expected virulence.
3. Why does government say in late March that the crisis will be over in three weeks when historically, coronaviruses take months if not years to run their course? What gives the government confidence this previously unknown virus will cause massive mortality over a short period then quickly become benign? The most likely reason is because that’s the way the virus was designed.
4. Why are medical professionals financially incentivized to falsify COVID death data? The most reasonable explanation is that death data’s not coming in with needed numbers.
5. Why do academic STEM departments, along with National Laboratories, abdicate their fiduciary obligations by not performing peer review of COVID data? Why are over 400 Los Alamos scientists fired for challenging prescribed COVID narratives? Regardless of the intent, the profound message to STEM communities is to sit this crisis out or face dire consequences.
6. Why are any challenges to prescribed COVID narratives banned from social media and why does legacy media refuse to investigate compelling evidence the COVID numbers aren’t adding up? Regardless of their excuses, lack of investigative curiosity equates to lack of journalistic integrity.
7. Why is China never held accountable for unleashing a deadly virus on the world, why has no country asked for restitution and why have courts not allowed victims to sue those responsible for the virus’s development and release. Evidence indicates Dr. Fauci’s NIAID was illegally funding the Wuhan biolaboratory in direct violation of President Obama’s executive order banning gain-of-function research. This would make America responsible for COVID.
8. Why, for the first time in human history, are healthy populations quarantined even though quarantines did not slow the contagion’s spread? Two possible reasons are it was a social experiment to determine how blindly compliant people have become or a wage-the-dog attempt to keep us convinced death is eminent to mask the fact data shows COVID is no more deadly than normal flu.
9. Why is a COVID vaccine, marketed as 100% effective, developed in less than a year when for the past two hundred years scientist have failed to develop an effective coronavirus vaccine? Why is the highly vetted Salk-based vaccine discarded for the untested, radically revolutionary, DNA altering, mRNA vaccine? How is it that pharmaceutical companies just happen to have this new antidote on a new platform available? It seems reasonable to expect that the people who developed the COVID bioagent would also develop its antidote.
10. Why does CDC death data track spot-on with pre-COVID actuarial estimates all year while also comporting to death industry data (i.e., funeral homes, coffin companies, and hospitals) only to be later revised upward by half-a-million deaths? Who directed the CDC to do this and for what purpose? Financial and observational evidence indicates there was no late-2020 surge in COVID deaths.
COVID’s Razor
There are many more whys, but one simple outcome explains everything, “it didn’t work.” Developing bio-agents to behave in specific ways is difficult. The Soviets tried for years to weaponize anthrax but could never solve the delivery issue; namely, how to have the bioagent survive aerosolization. Evidence indicates COVID was created in a Chinese biolab funded by Dr. Fauci and NIAID. Why they engaged in the development of a deadly bioagent remains a mystery that will likely never be revealed.
I’ve spent time in bio-level III laboratories and can attest they possess multiple redundant safety systems and protocols, making an accidental release improbable. The only other possible outcomes are that the virus was intentionally released, perhaps as an efficacy experiment, or was released due to insider sabotage. Which outcome prevails will never be known but provides writers and conspiracy theorists with a windfall of possible scenarios.
The aggressive way world governments accelerate from COVID’s first death in late February to existential panic with little evidence to support their hysteria indicates they know COVID’s more than nature’s newest coronavirus variant. The way an all-out marketing campaign is launched based on contrived academic models to prepare us for mass casualty doom indicates COVID is designed for unprecedented lethality. Because they know the virus peaks in a matter of weeks and then attenuates suggests COVID is designed for short-term lethality.
The COVID script is flawlessly planned and executed with one exception; the bioagent doesn’t behave as expected and people don’t die in mass. The reason our first analysis demonstrates COVID behaves like a naturally occurring virus is because the synthesized bioagent is built on a naturally occurring coronavirus platform that is subsequently genetically modified. We have to either thank God’s invisible hand or Fauci’s incompetence for COVID not living up to design potential because the virus doesn’t work.
Because COVID underperforms expectations, it leads to everything that happens after the April 14th Armageddon day. The reason we accurately modeled COVID’s decline all the way down to our June 7th end-of-epidemic prediction, is because we assumed COVID behaves as a naturally occurring virus and because the bioagent modifications didn’t work COVID reverted to its platform virus behavior. Yes, COVID was a crisis, and yes people died and got sick, but no more than other flu outbreaks.
The COVID bioagent not working as designed presents a political problem; how do governments extricate themselves from the hyperbolic hysteria they created? The answer is to wage-the-dog or fabricate a crisis. For this, they need death data falsified and find financially incentivized doctors eagerly compliant. Getting news and social media moguls onboard requires nothing more than a simple ask. Given CDC’s history of sensationalizing data, getting them onboard is an equally easy ask.
Fortunately for us, this perfect scheme didn’t eliminate all loose ends because pre-COVID actuarial data still exists along with death industry data that we use to validate the falsified CDC data. Eventually, even the CDC admits that 98% of deaths in 2020 initially attributed to COVID were likely caused by something else. By then though, American’s have been bamboozled into believing they’d just survived the worst calamity in recorded history, and as Carl Sagan points out, “It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken.”
Epilogue: It will take historians years to piece all this together, but already cracks are emerging. For instance, Senator Rand Paul suspects something is afoul, he even holds Senate hearings. Apparently, he gets a little too close to the truth because somehow, he’s told to sit down and shut up. Before leaving office, the Biden administration gives Dr. Fauci a blanket pardon for any crimes he may have ever committed even though he hasn’t been charged or even accused of any crimes. Why would Fauci need a presidential pardon, unless it’s for something as heinous as engaging in unlawful bioweapons gain-of-function work that results in exposing the world to a deadly virus killing millions.
