BONUS CONTENT: I will also soon present evidence that at least two “case zeroes” on the Roosevelt came on board the ship when it left port from San Diego on January 17, 2020 - the day before the first “confirmed” case of Covid in America.

As my regular readers know by now, I’m not afraid to present novel or original theories or ask questions nobody else has asked. One question that comes to mind about the Roosevelt antibody study is this one: If this virus is so contagious and crew members were exposed to infected shipmates for such a prolonged period of time, why didn’t virtually every sailor test positive for antibodies? Why didn’t, say, 90 percent of crew members (not “only” 61 percent) have antibody-evidence of prior infection?

I don’t know the answer for sure, but I think this is a fair and good question that hasn’t been answered to date.

I have some theories, including this one: Perhaps some percentage of crew members had already developed natural immunity when they boarded the ship in the days before January 17, 2020. Maybe by the time some crew members received antibody tests in late April 2020 (five or six months after they might have been infected), their antibody levels might have already faded to “undetectable” levels?

Or maybe “herd immunity” levels had already been reached?

Whether I’m onto something big or not, I’m pretty sure I’m asking non-authorized questions - questions that aren’t and weren’t supposed to be investigated and thus “confirmed.”

It occurs to me that my caption under the aircraft carrier photo might contradict my premise. That is, the CDC and Navy DID conduct an antibody study of Roosevelt crew members, which actually did debunk a key narrative. This study proved that Covid was only lethal to 1 of 4,800 crew members on the Roosevelt. However, this was not the spin of the antibody study, which actually got very little media attention. As far as I can tell, every news organization MISSED the giant headlines from that study: The IFR for Covid is miniscule ... and the virus must have come on board that ship when it left port.

And after one antibody study that showed 60 percent of the crew had been infected, the CDC and NAVY should have immediately done antibody studies of all sailors (or, if they wanted to save money, at least test 10 percent of the sailors from other ships for antibodies). They didn't do this, which tells me they were interested in NOT confirming wide-spread early infections.

This also tells me the CDC and Navy could count on 100-percent of the MSM "journalists" being dunces and not only "burying the lede," but not picking up on the obvious "news-worthy" elements of this study and outbreak.
