In a nutshell, the CDC said there was no evidence whatsoever of any cases in America in November and December 2019. This is a massive lie ... and they got away with it. Also, no mainstream press figure ever called them out on this lie. In fact, I'm the only reporter/journalist in the world who has highlighted these likely lies or misleading statements.
I think there's a real purpose for every event. Often the purpose is to frame or control "the narrative."
With this press conference (and the publication of this CDC "paper"), I think the real purpose was to nip in the bud the notion/theory that this virus was spreading around the world much earlier than officials said.
I'd compare this effort to what happened when Fauci et al coordinated the publication of those letters that were published at The Lancet and Nature. Those letters assured everyone that "the lab leak" theory was an impossibility. It worked (for a while). For about a year, it was taboo to put forward the "lab leak" theory. If you did it, you would be cancelled and censored by social media and attacked as a conspiracy kook by the mainstream press and officials.
This CDC press conference seems to have worked in that it made "investigations" into possible early spread in countries besides China a taboo or off-limits topics. My "proof?" Has anyone seen any journalism or official investigations since May 29, 2020 that delved into the evidence of early spread?
You've seen it at my Substack site, but, alas, I don't count since I'm not a "real' journalist who works for an official news organization.
It's also interesting to me that the Seattle Times and Palm Beach Post DID produce important journalism on "early spread" evidence in early May 2020. I cite links to this journalism in my article. But these newspapers completely dropped this topic and haven't done any follow-up stories since their original stories.
I've emailed journalists and editors at these newspapers (many times), asking them why no follow-up? I've never gotten a reply to my queries.
... Check that. Lewis Kamb, a reporter then working for for the Seattle Times (who produced several excellent stories on early cases in Washington), did respond when I sent him details about Tim and Brandie McCains' early cases in Alabama.
His only question:
"Did the McCains travel to China before they became sick?"
"No," I replied. Of course they hadn't.
That was the last I heard from him or anyone at those two newspapers. The topic had become taboo for some reason.
In my article, I note that blood from crew members of the Teddy Roosevelt aircraft carrier was collected on April 20-24, 2020. Just six weeks later (June 9), the results of this study were published in a paper. So: Officials CAN test and publish antibody results in a time span of at least six weeks.
Contrast this "turn-around" time to the Red Cross Antibody study. With that study, about 1,900 units of blood were donated on Dec. 13-16, 2019. It took 11 1/2 months to publish the results of that antibody study.
I've found private antibody studies that were done where the blood was collected, and the results published in about one week.
Bottom-line: Officials could have known by late February 2020 or certainly by early March, how many people in that first tranche of Red Cross blood donors had tested positive. Significantly, this would have been before the lockdowns were ordered.
That is, the evidence of "early spread" was already available by the time the lockdowns were ordered.
Per my theory: Officials intentionally delayed testing (and reporting) the results of that antibody study so as not to provide any evidence that might call off or call into question the necessity of lockdowns (which were necessary to slow or stop "spread," .... which had already begun many months earlier ... according to the "evidence" of the Red Cross antibody study.)
It's also a major red flag that the Red Cross antibody study paper does not report WHEN these tranches of blood were actually tested. These are (intentional) "lies of omission" in my opinion.
There was this "mysterious" respiratory outbreak at the Greenspring retirement community in June/July 2019. Symptoms were described as fever, cough and pneumonia, but the CDC, despite testing multiple samples, could not determine a common pathogen.
In August 2019, the CDC closed the biolab at Ft Detrick due to safety concerns. Greenspring is approx 80 miles from Ft Detrick.
In October 2019, at least one athlete stationed at Ft Maede went off to the Wuhan Military Games were everyone got sick. Coincidentally, Ft Detrick, Greenspring and Ft Maede make a very nice triangle on the map.
Now here is the conspiracy theory: They knew that The Virus leaked from Ft Detrick in the spring of 2019 and couldn't be stopped anymore. To obfuscate the origin of The Virus, they introduced it to Wuhan so it could spread from there. Of course they also knew that no one would believe the wet market bat soup story, but they very conveniently shifted the blame to the nearby WIV because it is just too obvious.
Of course they would never do that and these are nothing more than weird coincidences. But the chain of events is conclusive.
What’s gravely disappointing and downright scary is that these folks are our purported experts! How can these people of science behave this way? Is it laziness, don’t want to rock the boat, bureaucratic malaise? The lack of scientific curiosity is amazing. What ever happened to wanting to be the best, experiencing and embodying an “esprit de corps ”? It seems to be an on-going situation with all our government agencies as well as the military. Sad
I remember a headline in the daily mail that read, “Evangelical Christian Trump supporter who denies the virus exists, Dies of Covid “. That’s when you know what they want people to think.
The idea that this super contagious virus took two months to move through the country is ridiculous. It was here in fall of 2019 at the very latest, but they don't want to "find" that evidence because it will show that it was perfectly safe to do all the stuff that we did in winter 2019 that they said was too dangerous in 2020 and 2021.

Just take the easy path and “save our phony baloney jobs”. One mistake is followed up with cover after cover.

DOD testing ?
Spread around the world with our military ?
