I haven’t finished the article yet, but I applaud your research and will read it all. Just had to mention that I do know several people that swear they had covid in Nov/Dec 2019. We are in Ohio.
In November/December of 2019 my daughter, who is a kindergarten teacher in a district close to where I live here in a rural area of northwest Pennsylvania, reported that nearly 200 kids were out sick with a flu that was going around. Her district did not close but we’ve both wondered since then if it were covid. No one died.
No, I've never seen this. I can't read the article because it's behind a paywall. Do you subscribe to the Times and can you give me a copy and paste version. This "vaping" theory keeps coming up and I don't think it's been fully investigated as possible "early Covid" or some possible early strain of Covid. Thanks for the link.
Sorry, Bill - I don't subscribe either but it was just the first link I grabbed. There are definitely more links/info out there and I remember it being a big deal in Australia at the end of 2019...people getting an 'unspecified lung disorder' that 'may or may not be due to vaping.' I found it all very strange at the time and was wondering why people were not looking into the individual vape batches if it was really a 'vaping issue.'
My friend’s dad came down with an unusual respiratory illness in italy. He had problems breathing, weakness, no smell etc. His wife somehow sprung him from the hospital and onto a flight home to Columbus, Ohio where he recovered after a 7-10 days. I still have all her text messages from Nov 2019 when this all occurred.
Caroline, if you want to transcribe those texts and email them to me, that might be more "anecdotal" evidence I can put in my voluminous "early spread" clip files.
Anyone who has anecdotes or information that might be germane to my on-going "early spread" investigations can email me at:
Yep I know someone who got sick at the same time in Barcelona. Had to be stretchered off the plane in Perth, Australia. Healthy young-ish person (45-50).
As I recall a CDC study which tested blood samples for SARS2 antibodies determined that COVID was widespread in the US by at least December 2019, and possibly earlier. They found positive results in about 3% of samples at locations around the US. I recall hearing that some other researchers had done the same with similar results.
I've written numerous stories on the results of the Red Cross antibody study. Yes, it found 2.04 percent of blood donors from CA, WA an OR had antibody-evidence of prior infection when they donated this blood Dec. 13-16, 2019. It takes one to two weeks for detectable levels of antibodies to develop, so probably all 39 of these "positive" donors were infected in November 2019 if not earlier.
And there were also other antibody studies that seem to confirm "early spread" form Italy and France (far more positives than the Red Cross study). Results of the "Red Cross Antibody Study" weren't released to the public until 11 1/2 months AFTER that blood had been collected. And nobody knows when the blood was actually tested for antibodies. If it had been tested by early March 2020, and the results were known, we certainly shouldn't have had any lockdowns to "slow" or "stop" spread - as the results show this very-contagious virus was already spreading (extrapolating 2.04 percent to the national population of 330 million American would be at least 6.6 million people -infected at least by November).
And why weren't other tranches of archived blood from different points of time and other sections of the country also tested? My research shows that the highest ILI rates were in the South, with big outbreaks in December 2019. I've always wondered why the CDC didn't test some Red Cross donor blood collected in December or January in Southern states.
The answer, of course, is that they didn't want to have any more confirmed evidence of early spread. That would have nuked their whole agenda.
You can go back in my story archives for more details on antibody results.
This is probably the best summary I've produced of all the antibody evidence of "early spread." This is more than just the official "antibody studies" - this summary also includes private citizens who had early Covid that I learned about in my own research. I think at least 300 people who were infected by November 2019 (or earlier) had "antibody evidence" of prior infection. Note the wide number of states and countries where these people lived. This detail by itself shows us a virus that was "spreading." The virus didn't just hop-scotch from state to state or from country to country. It was circulating one person at a time across all borders. Viruses don't know what a border is!
Note the sudden and public shutdown of the Fort Detrick Bioweapons Lab in Maryland in the summer of 2019 due to a broken exhaust handler.
Consider how long that untreated exhaust from a BSL4 military bioweapons lab was outgassing into Frederick Maryland prior to that summer of 2019.
I and many others had a very strange viral "lung infection" like no other in the spring/summer of 2019 that lasted for several months.
Remember the "vaping" deaths and "popcorn lung" disease dubbed EVALI that year as well
I'd suggest MANY things escaped the lab and subsequently killed and maimed folks around the world. It's likely that sarscov2 is either one of the less lethal pathogens that escaped or purposeful leak from Wuhan for distraction and cover. Consider the absolute panic and coverup that would be inspired by such a leak.
I know this: That shut down and flood/accident has gotten hardly any national attention - and that facility is the biggest bio-virus research facility in the world.

And all the "vaping" deaths (which had a high fever), just suddenly vanished like a fart in the wind.... down the memory hole. A true toxin would crop up sporadically for a long time. Evali, the popcorn deaths, oddly followed gompertz curve, like most viral infections. This was likely not sarscov2 but something much worse which just burned itself out.
What I’m really trying to show with this article is yet another subject that is taboo or off-limits to official investigators.
Any public health official with common-sense would have known cases of ILI were spiking in America as early as November 2019. This person would have quickly concluded, “Hey, we need to consider the possibility this new virus might have already been spreading in our country.”
This person would have lobbied for massive PCR testing of a cross-section of Americans as soon as possible. The same with antibody tests - do them as soon as possible and test any archived blood sitting in any blood bank depositories.
I’m sure some officials must have suggested doing just this. But that unknown person(s) was obviously over-ruled and told to shut up and leave the big decisions to his or her bosses.
I think with every one of my stories, the main theme or point is the same: We should NOT trust our “trusted” authorities or experts.
But they CAN be trusted: Trusted to give us FALSE info, and trusted to lie about it when discovered! We are FAR behind the learning curve in all of this deception. That's what I am convinced of. The infiltration is obvious. And this is only the beginning. Insane times, but that's only because we've been asleep in the passenger's seat for so very long. It's been incubating for well over two hundred years, and coming to fruition with a vengeance now.
I truly feel for the younger generation; if they'll be alive to see it.
Most of the school closures I documented in my article happened in late January 2020 (causing schools to close in the first few days of February). Well, this is only about 45 days from the lockdowns (mid-March).
So one can re-state what happened (according to the "authorized narrative"): There was a terrible and wide-spread epidemic of flu in late January (affecting numerous states). However, by mid March, this flu epidemic had disappeared ... BUT right on its heels was a new epidemic - this one Covid. So we had successive respiratory virus epidemics.
Alas, the Covid epidemic of late March early April actually didn't produce many people with ILI symptoms (fever, terrible cough, sore throat, acute shortness of breath, fatigue, loss of smell and taste, etc). Tens of millions of people actually experienced those symptoms a couple of weeks or months earlier, but doctors' offices weren't being flooded with people with these same symptoms in April.
I think I'm the only journalist who is making a big deal out of "symptoms" - and prevalence (or lack of prevalence) of same.
I also note that someone can have confirmed influenza and Covid at the same time. I've never seen a study that looked into the percentage of people who might have had both viruses at the same time, but my research and doctors' testimony confirms this did happen in some people. For a while, I would rule out anyone who tested "positive" for influenza as being a possible early Covid case - but I probably shouldn't make this assumption.
A reader/subscriber emailed me and told me he hadn't been receiving my articles because they were going to his "Spam" email file. I wonder how common this is. I guess all I can do is try to alert people who want to read my articles to check their spam email files. I'd like for the people who are NOT getting my stories to read this comment ... but I guess they won't if they don't check their spam. I've also noted that some of my favorite Substack authors' dispatches go to spam. If this is a common occurrence, this is kind of disconcerting.
I was in Rome in March 2020. Parents were keeping their kids home a couple of weeks before the foolish lockdowns. In fact, people on their own were cutting down on their activities. So there was no need for such a draconian measure. It served no practical purpose.
It was fine by me. There were no lineups to get into anything. The city was ours to conquer!
So did I. I kept myself home. Angela Dunce (Dunn) and Jenny Wilson closed everything down to celebrate when I got over the malaise. (I can think of more appropriate ways to celebrate that. The lineups were the one-way, socially-distanced supermarket aisles.) Then my nurse sister insisted I get a countermeasure jab though I'd told her husband at the time I had covid. Apparently doesn't believe in recovered immunity. Hope the shots "took"! https://amidwesterndoctor.substack.com/p/what-can-the-smallpox-vaccine-disaster
Please elaborate on the few notable differences. Do you refer to bronchitis, more headache (microclots), and lower fever, as well as unsusceptability to amantadine? Regular flu gave me worse anosmia.
And also curious is why did the CDC stop tracking the regular flu cases after COVID arrived?
No need to be curious...nothing to see here.
They repurposed the nose jabs to covid PCR.
I haven’t finished the article yet, but I applaud your research and will read it all. Just had to mention that I do know several people that swear they had covid in Nov/Dec 2019. We are in Ohio.
It was all just the flu and not a particularly bad year if not for criminal hospital protocol and deadly experimental jabs.
In November/December of 2019 my daughter, who is a kindergarten teacher in a district close to where I live here in a rural area of northwest Pennsylvania, reported that nearly 200 kids were out sick with a flu that was going around. Her district did not close but we’ve both wondered since then if it were covid. No one died.
Hey Bill, remember this from late 2019? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/31/health/vaping-marijuana-ecigarettes-sickness.html
There was all this 'unspecified vape injury' news in Australia as well in late 2019. Some have opined that this was actually covid spread.
No, I've never seen this. I can't read the article because it's behind a paywall. Do you subscribe to the Times and can you give me a copy and paste version.

FauxQi didn't investigate anything because it wasn't time for Jesus Obiden to come to the rescue. You can't tell me that fix wasn't already in.

Such important work you are doing with this Bill. Schools closing because of flu, and then all of a sudden flu disappeared!

And love Iceland. Spent two weeks a year there between 1987 and 1991. Spectacular in all aspects. People at the top.
