New Study: Covid Was Probably In the US in 2019

Update: Zho Bai-Den's press conference, in progress.

John Sexton at Hot Air reports on covid's real first appearance in the states.

This was while the Red Chinese government was still covering up the disease they created and released from the lab.

The previous CDC conclusion was that the first cases of covid in the US were detected in January 2020.

But a new study finds that the disease had already been spread here by December 2019.

From the NYT:

A study published on Tuesday offers new evidence: Based on an analysis of blood tests, scientists identified seven people in five states who may have been infected well before the first confirmed cases in those states. The results suggest that the virus may have been circulating in Illinois, for example, as early as Dec. 24, 2019, although the first case in that state was confirmed a month later.

In the study, published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, Dr. Althoff and her colleagues analyzed blood samples from more than 24,000 people. They found nine people who had donated blood between Jan. 2 and March 18 of last year who appeared to have antibodies to the coronavirus.

Seven of the samples came from blood donated before the date of the first diagnosis in their states -- Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Mississippi and Massachusetts.

The study is pretty rigorous, as you'll see at the link. Early PCR tests produced a lot of false positives, but the study here only took as true positives samples that showed covid antibodies twice.

While China's Official Communist Story is that there were no covid cases in China until December 8, 2019, Sexton notes that there have been prior news reports of outbreaks as early as November.

And remember: The Wuhan lab appears to have been evacuated in October.

And Wuhan researchers and their family members are reported by intelligence to have been hit with covid-like symptoms in October.

China is lying about when covid hit, because they want to create the maximum distance between covid and the emergency evacuation of the lab and the first reports of covid-like symptoms among its researchers.

Again, this is during the period when China was insisting that human-to-human transmission was impossible -- even though China knew damn well it was possible, as they were welding covid-infected people inside their apartments to keep them from spreading it.

Below, two videos. The first is an interview with Dr. Redfern, former head of the CDC, who has been saying, forever, that this virus might have escaped from the Wuhan lab.

Note he says that China reported the virus was "SARS-like." SARS-like viruses have low incidences of asymptomatic transmission, but covid has a high incidence of asymptomatic transmission.

It cost us lives and further spread trusting China on this point. Had we known covid was nothing like SARS, we could have contained it better.

I'm not sure if he's saying China was incompetent or deliberately deceptive on this point.

The second clip is of Tucker Carlson, interviewing Sharri Markson, the Sky News Australia reporter who revealed that, despite the dishonest denials of Peter Daszak, live bats were in fact experimented on at Wuhan.

She notes that most of what China claimed about the virus was "disinformation."

Again, there is only one reason to deny the truth so completely: Because China knows damn well it released a plague upon the world, and is lying about every single fact that would suggest their creation of the virus. From when it started, to how it is transmitted, to which bat coronavirus strain covid-19 is a mutation of, to whether or not they were running viruses through live bats to mutate them further.

"Consciousness of guilt" -- evidence that a suspect has a guilty mind, such as participating in a cover-up of a crime, or lying about one's alibi -- is perfectly valid evidence in US courts to prove the guilt of a suspect.

China is screaming out its guilty mind.

And yet, incredibly, Biden wants the W.H.O., the corrupt, compromised organization that essentially works for China, and already conducted a sham cover-up "investigation" of the Wuhan lab to "investigate" Wuhan for a second time.

The United States and its allies are pinning their hopes for a second COVID-19 origins investigation in China on the World Health Organization, despite the WHO-China joint study team’s visit to Wuhan earlier this year that essentially dismissed the lab leak hypothesis being widely considered a failure.

The Trump and Biden administrations cast doubt on the joint study by Chinese government-linked scientists and international scientists organized under the auspices of the WHO that was conducted in China early this year. The WHO-China report said a lab leak was "extremely unlikely" and that a jump from animals to humans was most likely. Meeting minutes from discussions between Wuhan lab scientists and the WHO-China team reveal lab leak concerns were referred to as "conspiracy theories."

Why would Biden do that? Why would he entrust the investigation into Wuhan to the W.H.O. a second time, after it had already either incompetently botched the first investigation, or, more likely, competently rigged it to cover up for China?

Unless he, too, had a personal interest in covering up for China?

Biden's mind -- what's left of it, anyway -- is also shouting out its guilt.
