Artificial viruses attributed to animals

New Delhi: The coronavirus was first identified in 1967 in the United Kingdom and then in the United States. That same year, the first pseudo-virus was created in a laboratory in the United States. Until the 2002 SARS pandemic, no new human coronaviruses were discovered. Bats, coronaviruses and wet markets have been around for centuries without even an epidemic. Then suddenly in the past 20 years for the first time in history, we had the SARS, MERS, and Covid-19 coronavirus pandemics, all blamed on bats without convincing evidence. It is well known that clandestine research on biological warfare has been ongoing since World War I. Initially, these efforts focused on historically important pathogens and the influenza virus of the first influenza pandemic of 1918. Historically, all pandemics and major epidemics were due to plague, cholera, typhus, or smallpox. Bacteria cause the first three of these diseases and all of these have been suppressed by better hygiene. The smallpox virus has disappeared thanks to global vaccination. Then suddenly pandemics due to the newly discovered HIV virus in 1981, Ebola virus in 2004 and coronaviruses appeared in nature or at least we were told.

In recent years, military researchers have been busy collecting viruses from wild animals, especially bats. They focused their energies on deadly viruses that have existed in wild animals for centuries. Since prehistoric times, humans have hunted, consumed, poached and used parts of exotic wild animals as in Chinese medicine. Yet the first zoonotic virus pandemics have taken place in recent years. These recent episodes are too numerous to be a coincidence. The simultaneous development of genetic engineering technology and the search for deadly wild viruses by military researchers also cannot be a coincidence.
