As you know, a novel coronavirus (initially labeled 2019-nCOV before being renamed COVID-19 by the World Health Organization1) originating in Wuhan City, Hubei Province in China, is rapidly spreading across the world.
The first case was reported in Wuhan on December 21, 2019. Symptoms include fever, shortness of breath, severe cough and pneumonia which, in more severe cases, can lead to impaired kidney and liver function and kidney failure.2,3
On January 21, 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the first U.S. case4 — a patient in Washington state who had recently visited Wuhan. Then, the first U.S. death was reported February 29, 2020, in Washington state.5
Less than a week later, CBS News reported March 5, 2020, that the number of deaths had quickly risen to 11 nationwide in the U.S. — 10 in Washington state and one in California.6 Not only that, but as of that day, “The World Health Organization urged governments around the world to pull out ‘all the stops’” to fight the outbreak. On the up side, China “appeared to be over the worst” of it, CBS said.
All told, as of March 5, 2020, there were 98,067 reported cases of novel coronavirus infections affecting 88 countries, 80,430 of which were in China. Worldometer.info provides an easy overview of confirmed cases and deaths that you can check for the latest statistics.7
In this interview, Francis Boyle — whose background includes an undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago, a juris doctor (lawyer) degree from Harvard and a Ph.D. in political science — shares his theory of the origin of this novel coronavirus.
For decades, he’s advocated against the development and use of bioweapons, which he suspects COVID-19 is. In fact, Boyle was the one who called for biowarfare legislation at the Biological Weapons Convention of 1972, and the one who drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, which was passed unanimously by both houses of Congress and signed into law by George Bush, Sr.
At the time of this recording, February 14, 2020, more than 50,000 people in China had been infected with the virus. Certainly, it does not originate from infected bat soup.
As a result of Boyle’s antibiological warfare work, which goes back to the early days of the Reagan administration — a time in which they were using DNA genetic engineering to manufacture biological weapons — Boyle has carefully followed “mysterious outbreaks of disease in both humans and animals around the world” that have appeared since then.
“My biowarfare antiterrorism act was specifically designed to not only to deal with regular biological weapons but also with DNA genetic engineering for biological weapons that was just coming into its infancy when the BWC was being drafted.
Even though the BWC would cover DNA genetic engineering, I wanted to make it clear by name that it was covered. I also made it clear [that] it covered synthetic biology as well,” Boyle says.
“So, when these unexplained mysterious illnesses break out, I monitor them a while and usually I just conclude they can be explained by normal reasons: lack of sanitation, poverty, things of that nature. But in Wuhan it seemed pretty suspicious to me.
There is this Biosafety Level 4 facility there in Wuhan. It’s the first in China, and it was specifically set up to deal with the coronavirus and SARS. SARS is basically a weaponized version of the coronavirus.
There have been leaks before of SARS out of this facility, and indeed the only reason for these BSL-4 facilities, based on my experience, is the research, development, testing and stockpiling of offensive biological weapons.
For that reason, I stated my opinion: That this Wuhan coronavirus leaked out of that BSL-4 facility … maybe mid-November … and the Chinese government has been lying about it and covering up ever since.”
The first reported case of COVID-19 infection was December 1, 2019. Depending on the incubation period, which is still unknown, the initial lead, provided there was one, might have occurred anywhere in November. The official estimate is a 14-day incubation period, but a British health expert believes it’s 24 days, and North Korean biological warfare experts believe it’s 30 days, Boyle says.
“As for Wuhan and Hubei Province, they’re basically under martial law. There’s no other word for it. If you read the statements by President Xi and his assistants, they’ve made it very clear they’re at war here, and that is correct. They’re at war with their own biological warfare agent.
President Xi just fired the party apparatchiks in charge of this and has brought in trusted military personnel to handle it, as well as large numbers of PLA [People’s Liberation Army] forces saying they’re health care workers. They don’t look like health care workers to me. So, as of now, that’s my best reading of the situation.”
When asked about rumors the COVID-19 virus might have been stolen from a high-security laboratory in Winnipeg, Canada, Boyle says:
“It could have been. I want to make it clear that, in my opinion they were already working on that at the Wuhan BSL-4 facility. They were working on a biological warfare weapon involving SARS, which is a coronavirus to begin with.
We do know that Dr. [Yoshihiro] Kawaoka at the University of Wisconsin … resurrected the Spanish flu virus for the Pentagon, obviously for weapons purposes, and he specializes in mating the Spanish flu virus to all sorts of hideous biowarfare instrumentalities. And there was a record of him shipping his products to Winnipeg.
Winnipeg is Canada’s equivalent of our own Fort Detrick. It’s a BSL-4 facility, and yes, they research, develop tests, manufacture and stockpile every type of hideous biological warfare weapon that we know of. So, some of this technology could have been stolen from Winnipeg. I don’t know about that but, as I said, the Wuhan BSL-4 was already working on this to begin with.
They had already developed SARS. SARS had leaked out two to three times before this, and it seems they were turbocharging SARS, which is what [COVID-19] looks to be. This is a brand-new generation of biowarfare weapons we haven’t seen before.
Its lethality goes from 15%, as estimated by Lancet, up to 17% to 18% by a British health official and even Chinese statistics. Its infectivity is 83%. It can infect maybe three to four people for every person infected.
It has gain of function properties, which means it travels through air at least 6 or 7 feet, and … there are reports that even contaminated human feces give it off, that the human feces radiate off maybe 6 or 7 feet. So, we’ve never seen anything like this before in the history of biological warfare, at least in the public record.
I want to make it clear: I have never worked for the United States government. I’ve never had a security clearance. I’ve never had access to any type of secret information.
I just read what is in the public record and the scientific record and try to draw my own conclusions, and that’s what I’m giving you today. I could change my opinion if people can provide me reputable scientific evidence to the contrary.
Right now, I’m standing by my conclusion that it leaked out of the Wuhan BSL-4, the highest level of the Chinese government has known about it, they’ve been covering it up from the get-go, until they informed the WHO at the end of December.”
As noted by Boyle, the Wuhan lab is a designated WHO research lab, which may sound odd, considering these facilities specialize in developing and researching dangerous pathogens that can easily be turned into bioweapons.
According to Boyle, we should not be surprised however, as “WHO is up to its eyeballs in this type of work and has been for quite some time.” The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the drug industry also appear to have had their hand in many of the outbreaks of what appear to be weaponized viruses.
“I won’t go through the long history of big pharma getting involved in this. There’s huge amounts of money here. I believe the West Africa Ebola pandemic originated out of the US BSL-4 facility in Sierra Leone, and [that] they were testing out a so-called vaccine that contained live Ebola and gave it to these poor people,” Boyle says.
“As for the CDC, it has been involved in every … BSL-4 biological warfare death science you could possibly imagine … It’s a matter of public record that during the Reagan administration, the CDC and the American Type Culture Collection sent 40 shipments of weapons-grade biological warfare agents to Saddam Hussein in Iraq, in the hope and expectation that he would weaponize these agents and use them against Iran …
Of course, the problem is that when that war was over … an order was given to U.S. military forces to blow up Saddam Hussein’s biological warfare facilities, and that’s not how you deal with biological warfare weapons …
[It] contaminated our own troops, and that was a causative factor in the Gulf War Syndrome that … murdered about 11,000 U.S. troops and disabled about 100,000.”
According to Boyle, the U.S. government spent $100 billion on biological warfare programs since September 11, 2011, up until October 2015, which is no small sum. To put it into perspective, the U.S. spent $40 billion (assuming a constant dollar value) on the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb. Boyle also estimates the U.S. has some 13,000 life scientists working within the biowarfare industry.
“Clearly, the Reagan administration, under the influence of its neoconservatives who definitely believe in biological weapons and ethnic-specific biological weapons (you can see that in the PNAC report), were engaged in the use of DNA genetic engineering for the purpose of manufacturing biological weapons.
That is why I gave a Congressional briefing in Washington, D.C. in 1985. I was asked to do that by the Council for Responsible Genetics that I work with, which involves the leading life scientists in the world from MIT and Harvard.
I spent seven years at Harvard. I have three degrees and I knew all these people. They asked me to serve as their lawyer and give this Congressional briefing. I blew the whistle, and then they asked me to draft the implementing legislation, which I did …
I want to make it clear I’m not here to speak in their name, I’m only speaking in my name, but if you look at my book, ‘Biological Warfare and Terrorism,’ professor Jonathan King wrote the foreword. So, I have the leading MIT professor of molecular biology supporting what I’m saying, if you don’t think I know enough science about it.”
While there have so far only been a limited number of reported cases of COVID-19 infection in the U.S., the U.S. military has designated several detention sites around the country to quarantine Americans,8 should the situation take a turn for the worse.
Historically speaking, however, government health officials have been vastly exaggerating the threat of pandemics in the U.S., including the bird flu, the swine flu, anthrax and Ebola.
For example, as detailed in my 2009 New York Times bestseller “The Great Bird Flu Hoax,” then-President George Bush Jr. projected 2 million Americans would die from bird flu; the best-case scenario taking only 200,000 lives. The final death count in the U.S. from that pandemic was zero.
It generated massive profits, though, as U.S. taxpayer dollars were used to purchase 20 million doses of Tamiflu. One of the people who was able to line his pockets from that hoax was defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who was president of Gilead Sciences when the drug was created.
“[The bird flu] was another DNA, genetically engineered biological warfare weapon,” Boyle notes. “It was a chimera. It had three different elements in it and we were all lucky that somehow they attenuated the lethality and the infectiveness of the bird flu.”
Whether or not COVID-19 will be similarly ineffective in its spread and lethality remains to be seen. Judging by the statistics in China, “it doesn’t look very good,” Boyle says.

I recall from the first reading of the Indian report on this virus that it appeared to be created. I also keep hearing the same thing over and over that this came from the Wuhan facility, even quotes from Chinese specialists saying so. From the beginning I have had two issues with this, The first being why would the Chinese be working with a virus that was known to be more harmful to Chinese than the rest of the world? It always seemed impractical that you would do that and be sloppy in any way.
The second issue is “who benefits” if this is not an “accident?” There are a number of nations around the world that are doing biowarfare work and genetic engineering. Some of those nations would definitely benefit from a viral outbreak in China that appears to be especially hazardous for Chinese populations since nearly all of them probably have had coronavirus infections before and/or had the SARS vaccination. According to the reports I have seen, these are the populations that are most susceptible, along with older populations.
How would they benefit? Consider the adverse affect this has had on the willingness to have Chinese workers come to countries to work on the belt and road project. Any nation that might see their profits diminish if the belt and road are successful might benefit, or any nation that might have designs on controlling poor countries that might not remain poor if the project is successful might benefit. Unfortunately, also any group that might feel that this project would help “capitalism” remain as the dominant form of business might benefit from this outbreak, and although a “group” might not have its own biolab, that doesn’t mean it can’t have access to something developed in one either through money or an insider that supports the groups beliefs.
In other words, there ARE viable options to the quick assumption that this had to be from the Wuhan lab, although it could well have been, if they were experimenting with ways to wipe out their own people, or working with another nation’s product that they had acquired in some way that was designed for that purpose, attempting to find a vaccine that could be used against it.
There is nothing to prevent it from being secreted out of any facility by someone that believes that the human population is detrimental to “Gaia” and that “Gaia” must be protected by eliminating the race, assuming the person has the security clearances to get in, and the ingenuity to find a way to sneak a “sample” out. After all, I would guess that most protocols for securing such dangerous organisms are designed to prevent accidents, not intentional acts.
As for why it appears to be “slowing down” on what it seemed like in the beginning, it is possible that the originally released virus may have been able to do just that – wipe out the human race, but “Mother Nature” in her wisdom has allowed it to mutate into a less fatal form. After all, there may well be a “consciousness” in the virus that knows that if you wipe out your host, you wipe out yourself as well, and self preservation, if you will, may help direct the mutations into less virulent states. All this is speculation without anything but intuitive thinking supporting it, but oddly enough, that is pretty much what the opposite is as well.

It depends on the hit you can absorb. If you have 1.4 billion people, most of them in poverty, then you can afford to lose a few. Life is cheap, and labour is non-skilled or (these days) easily replaceable / automatable.
If you can also lock down cities quickly because you have a military dictatorship then you know you can ultimately contain it. Can your enemy? Yet it looks like you’re a victim too, you have to.
The death rate in Italy is now running at 6% (may go higher) and the whole country is in quarantine. This is unheard of. Imagine the whole of Europe and the USA in quarantine, while the Chinese are well over it all, and buying up cheap stock.

Exactly what I was thinking, Tom O. Doesn’t make much sense. Not to say it’s not possible it was accidentally leaked from the Wuhan lab. There’s been a lot of info coming out that it also could’ve been made by a US lab and released during the Military Games which were in Wuhan. I would have to think, if that was indeed the case, all that was done by the Deep State to effect the election and to serve their masters who are eugenicists with a depopulation agenda.
George Webb claims he has found Patient One, a US military operative. Check his Youtube for that. The motive$ for Big Pharma are huge, vaccine$. Line up, $UCKER$!

There are published addresses for BSL4 laboratories at 53 locations, likely many more clandestine. All are engaged in “Gain-of-Function” weapons and potentially counter measures. Francis Boyle showed published research of US Ft Detrick forcibly closed for bad practice in Aug 2019, research transferred to UNC at Chapel Hill, sold to Wuhan University BSL-4. This same lab bought Australian University research on CRISPR insertion of HIV genes.
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY were once punished with executions.

It would not surprise me if this was released deliberately from the Wuhan lab, some are saying it may well have been done at the behest of the UN, to aid them in their population reduction goals.

I have no doubt it came from the Wuhan lab .. I don’t believe much in coincidences and the odds of COVID-19 originating from the very same place where the lab is present is simply too much of a “coincidence”, especially in a country with over a billion population.
On the other hand, I do not believe it was intentionally released, nor do I believe we are going to see some sort of Coronapocalypse or Coronageddon. Many of the reported mortality rate statistics have been completely wrong. Actual mortality rates are not nearly as high as have been suggested by the media for example.
If COVID-19 is a “weapon”, then the most effective part of that weapon is, and has been, the mass hysteria. As far as illness is concerned, COVID-19 is not very effective and appears to be similar (or even less so) to the common flu.
i believe the weapon being used here is the hysteria and propaganda. There are increasing pushes for various societies to engage in what would normally be unacceptable behavior. These things are increasing daily. Watch out for the atrocities you may be convinced to perform in the future!

Two years ago Sergy and Julia Skripal, reputedly succumbed to a nerve agent in Salisbury, England.
What made them ill and how it happened has supposedly been answered to complete satisfaction, but this was happening in the world of spies, close to the UK’s chemical and biological weapons research facility in Porton Down. Can we say anything about this event that is definitely true?
The Wuhan incident is similar, but easier to unlock, since we at least definitely know the causal agent, covid-19.
Naturally occurring – possible, but why the big hoo ha to contain it and prevent spread?
From Wuhan – quite probably, hence a big effort to contain.
From elsewhere – if someone knew the formula, or had it smuggled out of the Wuhan lab, they may have decided to release it to make it look like a Chinese bungle, to embarrass the Chinese, or for some other more sinister reason.
Given that biological weapons are being developed globally in many labs, governments may not be too keen to point the finger. Democratic countries that are engaged in secret and quite possibly illegal research leave themselves no wriggle room to criticise, since the lid may be blown off their enterprise leaving them exposed to punishment from the electorate.
Don’t expect to hear the truth in the next century.
