I cut this section for space reasons - this also develops reasons why I think the virus was, in fact, "contagious."
If one believes (like I do) that many people who were sick with Covid symptoms actually had Covid, one must believe this virus has always been very contagious.
I reached this conclusion because I’ve read probably thousands of anecdotes from readers who came to believe they had “early” Covid. (I’ve saved probably 500 such anecdotes). Several common features emerge from reading or saving so many of these testimonials:
* This illness was different in key respects from other flu-type illnesses or “bugs.”
* The symptoms were often quite serious and lasted several days to several weeks (or months). While many people with Covid have mild or even asymptomatic symptoms, many report that this was one of the harshest illnesses they’d ever endured.
* The person reporting his or her symptoms reports that others in his or her family (or workplace or school) also became sick at the same time.
* Many people report they tested negative for influenza (or never went to a doctor to get a flu test).
* Many people report they never got a PCR-confirmed case of Covid in the ensuing year or years after the were sick, which suggests they may have acquired natural immunity (at least to the original strain of the virus … if this was the “original” strain).
Per my research, the original strains of any virus are typically the most virulent and subsequent mutations are less lethal or cause milder symptoms. Under this theory, it would seem that the novel coronavirus mutated to a more deadly or serious form many months after it had begun to circulate, which would be atypical for viruses.
Tens of millions of Americans were “sick” with some virus in this flu season, more people than had been sick in perhaps any flu season of the past 10 or 20 years. (It should be noted that the revised CDC ILI estimates dispute this conclusion, but numerous contemporary reports - including from ILI data compiled by state and national health agencies - support this conclusion).
For these reasons and from details culled from a library of anecdotes, I believe millions of people had symptomatic cases of Covid before the WHO declared a global pandemic. Many of these cases were NOT “mild” and the r-naught number was not below 1.5.
It seems to me that for one to believe the theory that the virus suddenly mutated into a more virulent form, one would have to dismiss all the claims of the millions of people who believe they had this virus months earlier.
If one does believe at least some percentage of these correspondents had Covid and their own conclusions are correct, then the virus was contagious and wasn’t mild or less virulent.
Since these possible cases were reported across the USA (and many other countries), logic says the virus would have been spreading in thousands of communities.
I’ll conclude with this contrarian observation: The virus was noted. Scores of schools in dozens of states across the country were closed. Hospitals and doctors’ offices were seeing more ILI patients and administering more flu tests. ILI reports from 45 states were showing that ILI was “widespread” and “severe.” Journalists were writing articles on this early and bad “flu season.”
However, no expert knew or confirmed that some of this increase in “sick” people might be caused by a novel coronavirus.
My belief is that at least a few key officials must have known this, and among the army of public health experts in our country, more should have suspected this possibility.
I’d also add that the same experts tell us we should ignore ALL of the millions of people who think they have been harmed by the Covid vaccine. Every person reporting “anecdotes” to this effect are wrong as well.
We have all been conditioned to trust the experts. My research and journalism tells me we should do the opposite.
I say it was released in the Ukraine in a US funded biolab in summer 2019. It was adapted to be rereleased in China in winter when it didn’t have the desired impact.
Within months of flatten the curve I stopped trusting our health and virus officials. I didn't need any of the anti expert experts to help with that. They later only confirmed my beliefs. Too good to be true is never true.
Keep digging, when you and others get to the bottom of the when and where, all of us US taxpayers can start paying reparations to the rest of the world.
The simple fact is that it took exactly one international flight from China for this to show up on our shores. The idea that it took weeks or months is nuts -- the virus was already everywhere we tested for it.
If I recall correctly, the initial sample from the Washington case (or one of the first) used OLD samples from December! But of course they can't admit this because it shows that the virus was here all winter 2019 and we didn't even notice while we were doing all the stuff they told us was unsafe in 2020/2021.
Great Work! Over Here, I am still very puzzled why some people fell extremely ill, while others had not so much as a sniffle. (I am in the latter category).
Bill, I know someone who went down like a rock in Dec. 2019 after a trip. Was fine then became very ill; hospitalized then died. No one had heard of covid then. But after the family (includes a nurse) is pretty sure it was Covid when they learned about symptoms etc.
I am so confused I don't even know what to think any more. Was this a lab created virus that was let loose on the military 'games' in Wuhan? Was it also maybe released simultaneously in Italy and NYC and Seattle? How did so much of Africa escape? DId they not have anyone participating in the Wuhan military games? Is the purpose of the Covid injections to infect the rest of us who were not sickened by the original virus? AND how in the world did a couple from a small town in Alabama catch this nasty government-sponsored sickness??
Are you sure "the novel coronavirus is very contagious"? As opposed to say biotrailing? It seems to be an enterovirus. (Perhaps they spray sewage?) I've had at least Wuhan strain and Omicron, but was around no one infected. So what was the point of the contact tracing?
Here's an email I received from subscriber Marna Barnett of Troy. Mrs. Barnett was actually my last science teacher and has long been one of my few Facebook supporters.
She was still teaching in 2019-2020 and added this anecdote:
"I still maintain that in fall of 2019 I had a number of students (10-20 is a good guess) that were sick for a few days with a "respiratory virus" that medical people could not name. Not strep, not mono, not flu but some unidentifiable respiratory sickness. None of them required hospitalization that I am aware of and did return to classes and complete the semester. I do believe this was covid and well before spring of 2020.
"Keep doing your research and telling those who will listen what you are finding. Maybe one day, the truth will be told, but I will not hold my breath."
The only proof that anyone has had covid lies with the testing which is not valid. I know people who were ill with a nasty virus at the back end of 2019 and we called it flu. If we had continued to do that then all this mess would have been avoided. Stop validating the existence of a virus which has never been proven to exist. We were scammed.
Funny that scientist and medical authorities say the coronavirus is very contagious it took me 32 months before I got a mild case, and I was out delivering food in 8 to 10 restaurants per day 5 days a week from January 2020 until infected in August 2022.
And I was in the hospital for several days twice during that period and the emergency room 3 times for different issues.

What do you thinjk about the papertrail(s) to the DOD?(Years back)

I’m beginning to believe our Govt sprayed us all with the bioweapon via chem trails or drone
