“Mario Murillo is a right wing televangelist who cannot stop talking about the LGBT community. Right now he’s focusing on trans people and recycling the old anti-gay arguments that have been debunked over and over.”

“Senate report on COVID coronavirus origins

the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 that resulted in the COVID-19 pandemic was most likely the result of a research-related incident

Dec. 20, 2019 to Jan. 18, 2020

Searches for flu-like symptoms

Cases probably started mid October, 2019

Analysis of Natural Zoonotic Origins Hypothesis

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)

Lack of intermediate bats to humans

Virus likely needed to circulate in an intermediate host

An animal virus must evolve to gain human infecting potential

Closest virus is in horseshoe bats residing in Southern China or Southeast Asia

Epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 Outbreak Differs from Previous Natural Zoonotic Spill overs

Lack of dead ends spill over events, no epidemiological train in animals or humans

Influenza

Infected poultry and birds always found

H7N9 (2019) multiple independent introductions across multiple locations

Geographically disparate, independent spill overs of H7N9

Avian Influenza

had circulated in bird populations,

time and several provinces in China before the first known human infections

SARS epidemic

At least five independent spill overs of the SARS virus into humans

Live animal markets followed by human to human

E.g. Guangdong Province, November 2002 to January 2003

SARS, later on in 2003 – 2004

Additional independent subsequent spill over infections in humans

Civets identified within 6 months

Early SARS viral samples from humans contained genetic mutations that reflected prior circulation and adaptation in palm civets

In total contrast

Chinese government, asserted that the COVID-19 originated from a natural zoonotic transmission occurring at the Huanan market

Geo-temporal spread of COVID-19 in China, December 31, 2019 to February 11, 2020

Earliest identified SARS-CoV-2 well-adapted for human-to-human transmission

Early SARS-CoV-2 variants had little genetic diversity, 2 nucleotides out of 29,900

(Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil)

No evidence of previous intermediate host circulation

Genetic similarity between the environmental samples and human viral samples,

supports the likelihood that the virus found at the Huanan Seafood Market was shed by humans

Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee,

to address pandemic preparedness and response programs

Interim report, to examine the two prevailing theories of origin

Last fifteen months

Reviewed several hundred scientific studies,

interviewed several dozen subject matter experts,

analyzed previous reports and studies.
The lack of transparency and collaboration from government and public health officials in the People’s Republic of China with respect to the origins of SARS-CoV-2 prevents reaching a more definitive conclusion.

I hope this report will guide the World Health Organization and other international institutions

Introduction

Challenging

Since January 3, 2020,

People’s Republic of China (PRC) have prohibited sharing or publishing any information on SARS-CoV-2 without state review and approval.

Establishing timeline, is difficult

Mid October, 2019″

Two Malicious Uncles Rampaging to the Beat
A Short Story
by The Cookie

Naomi Hemingway looked at the giant blade in her hands and felt calm.

She walked over to the window and reflected on her Stinky surroundings. She had always hated wild Falmouth with its kindhearted, knotty kettles. It was a place that encouraged her tendency to feel calm.

Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of James Thunder. James was a tactless writer with squat lips and brown fingernails.

Naomi gulped. She glanced at her own reflection. She was a malicious, thoughtful, port drinker with wobbly lips and squat fingernails. Her friends saw her as a bulbous, brawny bear. Once, she had even helped a yarbelicious old lady cross the road.

But not even a malicious person who had once helped a yarbelicious old lady cross the road, was prepared for what James had in store today.

The drizzle rained like rampaging ostriches, making Naomi angry.

As Naomi stepped outside and James came closer, she could see the terrible glint in his eye.

“I am here because I want love,” James bellowed, in a ruthless tone. He slammed his fist against Naomi’s chest, with the force of 7718 goldfish. “I frigging hate you, Naomi Hemingway.”

Naomi looked back, even more angry and still fingering the giant blade. “James, d’oh,” she replied.

They looked at each other with sneezy feelings, like two odd, open owls jumping at a very cute dinner party, which had R & B music playing in the background and two malicious uncles rampaging to the beat.

Suddenly, James lunged forward and tried to punch Naomi in the face. Quickly, Naomi grabbed the giant blade and brought it down on James’s skull.

James’s squat lips trembled and his brown fingernails wobbled. He looked stable, his body raw like a moaning, magnificent map.

Then he let out an agonising groan and collapsed onto the ground. Moments later James Thunder was dead.

Naomi Hemingway went back inside and made herself a nice glass of port.
