I hope everyone understands the massive significance of one point highlighted in my article - namely, that if U.S. officials HAD tested that first tranche of Red Cross blood by latter February 2020, the lockdowns should NOT have happened. The results of that study showed beyond a reasonable doubt that this virus had been spreading in America by at least November 2019. Lockdowns marketed to “slow” or “stop” the “spread” of this virus could not have achieved this objective.

All the misery and economic carnage caused by the lockdowns would NOT have occurred.

Here we also need to cast blame on our watchdog mainstream press as well. First, journalists should have been calling for this common-sense (and expedited) study from the beginning .... and didn’t. After the study’s findings were made public, they should have asked all the questions I posed in my article (they of course would NOT have done this). For example, journalists should have been asking why officials didn’t test archived blood from other states and other points in time.

If this had happened, the evidence of early spread would have been even more undeniable.

Simple common sense tells us WHY this blood wasn’t tested in time to avert the lockdowns. The leaders making our decisions didn’t want this to happen because they wanted to impose those lockdowns. They no doubt KNEW what the findings of that serologic survey would be. So they intentionally delayed the testing. This, in my opinion, constitutes a “crime against humanity.” If nothing else, it’s an egregious example of professional malfeasance and incompetence.

Furthermore, one strongly suspects that the key objective in delaying this antibody testing was to ensure the “warp speed” effort to produce and then mandate a vaccine wasn’t also nixed.

The wide-spread knowledge that many millions of Americans had already been infected (and nobody even noticed) would have dramatically reduced the level of fear associated with this disease. The “key to the operation” has always been getting everyone vaccinated, which requires mass fear in the public.

Publishing or announcing these antibody results in late February or early March 2020 would have perhaps thwarted all of their true agendas.

And so a conscious decision was made to hold off on that testing - to conceal the truth from the American public ... And misery and carnage ensued because this intentional decision was made. The world was turned upside down for no good reason.

Expressed differently, evidence that would or should have prevented the lockdowns was intentionally concealed from the public. I think this DOES probably constitute a "crime against humanity." The lockdowns were authorized under false pretenses. The predicate for the lockdowns - that this virus had barely started to spread in America - could have easily been proven to have been a lie ... If they were seeking such evidence, which they weren't. They were working as hard as they could to conceal vital evidence. Isn't that a crime?

Find out who spiked the investigation (or delayed it) and that's your main criminal.

The Seattle Times' Lewis Kamb actually wrote some good stories on this topic in May of 2020. The phrase he used was "throttled access." It seems like there may have been an intentional effort to keep people from getting antibody tests in the early months of the pandemic. I think this could be explained by the fact that a lot of people getting antibody tests in, say, March and April 2020 would have produced a lot more evidence of "early spread." Our officials did NOT want the public to become aware of any copious evidence of early spread. Your anecdote would seem to support this theory.

Thank you, Leanne. I worked hard on it.

A fair rejoinder to my hypothesis would be summarized by this question: If this virus was spreading widely around the world by the fall of 2019 where are all the deaths one would have expected to see?

My answer to this critique is presented in another long article I wrote several weeks ago. Basically, I think most of the deaths were caused by the RESPONSE to the virus ... not by the virus proper (so-called "iatrogenic" deaths). Also, as Stanford's John Ioannadis has argued, the IFR for the virus for people under 60 is probably lower than for influenza. That is, many millions of people could acquire this virus (with some being symptomatic and many asymptomatic) and NOT die from it.

I would contend that the virus was much less deadly than seasonal flu and pneumonia and wouldn't have stood out against the background by itself. In support, all cause mortality did not elevate the first year of the virus. The Covid-19 'deaths' numbers shot up once they started becoming conflated with seasonal influenza and pneumonia.

We know now that the PCR test can detect cases weeks or months (90 days) post infection. What greater scam is there to create fear and hype for a virus by delaying the introduction of testing until the middle of flu season? The scam is that you're not really identifying a new infection with a positive PCR test. You might very well be identifying someone who is well recovered from prior exposure. In this latter case, the patient would actually be well advised to go home and do nothing unless he/she develops symptoms that do not self-resolve (no medical advice intended, hypothetical scenario).

Well said. Thanks.

Jonathan Engler's avatar

This is a great piece thanks.

Ideally, you should also be combining this approach with a close analysis of the excess deaths curves, which seem to bear no relation to the spread of a virus:

Thanks so much for those. I had suspected NYC was just like Lombardy but not seen any data.

No, I don't think I do. I just assume most happened in hospitals. If I find something that provides that info, I'll let you know.

Jonathan Engler's avatar

I think Jessica’s question was directed at me but anyway, you are right in that AFAIK we don’t have any place of death data for Lombardy.

I agree, whereas more recently excess deaths out of hospital feature (especially in private homes) as a distinct characteristic I’m not sure that was the case generally in spring 2020.

Thank you for this piece!

Myself, husband and son all had the weirdest "coronavirus" in mid August 2019 2 days after arriving in France. Raging sore throats, noses flowing like faucets, coughs..... We had gone through the Seattle airport. We infected our wonderful French hosts too. Luckily, we still had a great time in France, though I had a kind of relapse - only worse - at the end of January 2020. I was actually as sick as I've ever been in my life and even found breathing a bit difficult. Took my D, massive Vitamin C and elderberry and am still here. But the experience made me ask to be screened for covid before getting jabbed. It was as if I was speaking Martian. The docs had NO idea what I was saying when I said "It's a bad idea to get inoculated for something you have natural immunity to. You could have a dangerous, inflammatory possibly lethal reaction."

They were sure I couldn't have natural immunity, don't you know, to the NOVEL "virus".

I did not get the shot.

Bill Rice, Jr.'s avatar

Thanks for sharing this. One of those times was probably Covid if not both. Hard to believe they treated you like you were a Martian for using common sense!

Thank you for your compilation of our reports.

I have never gone to western doctors - and raised four sons who never saw a doctor once while growing up. So I wasn't too surprised when I dutifully made my first ever visit to a local clinic and was looked at as if I had two heads as I raised the issue of immunity. I don't believe any of the staff there know the difference between immunization and vaccination!

My favorite joke - What's the difference between God and a doctor?

Answer - God doesn't think he's a doctor.

Hey Bill, got to your Stack via Unreported Truths. Great article. Wondering if you saw John Campbell’s recent YouTube on this topic? Multitudes of comments were first person stories of late fall 2019 infections.

I shared a first hand account of a friend (a former MD turned Catholic priest living in North TX) who who told me that he’d gotten a “terrible flu” from a parishioner who had traveled to China, come home sick went into the hospital but discharged himself early and unfortunately took my friend to lunch! My friend had little doubt that both of them had Covid in Nov 2019.

I told him about the Italian blood samples and early spread. When that story first hit, I read somewhere or other a comment by someone who had calculated that the Covid would have had to be circulating in Italy for a year. Sorry I can’t remember where I read that!

Bill Rice, Jr.'s avatar

Thanks for these great anecdotes. I don't know if you saw this article I wrote. More than 100 people who think they had early Covid contacted ME after the Citizen Free Press ran one of my stories. I took a lot of time to summarize these personal anecdotes. Taken together, they present compelling evidence of early spread. Seven of these people say they later tested positive for antibodies. Most never got an antibody test.

I had a terrible, barking cough X3 weeks in late Jan-early Feb 2020 that I just thought was a bad bronchitis & worked through it, no visit to the doctor or prescription meds. I also knew a LOT of people sick w/ a mystery illness in Fall 2019 which I absolutely believe was WuFlu, & I also believe it was here much earlier - Summer 2019 - which means this had circulated worldwide in the 9 months before “lockdown” in March 2020. I’m too dumb to know how to copy links but I was able to forward them to you, Bill. Thank you for your research on this important issue

Bill Rice, Jr.'s avatar

thanks, Cindi. I think I had Covid in early January 2020. That's why I started investigating this around mid April 2020.

My next big "early spread" piece will show all the evidence of Influenza Like Illness (ILI) that was severe and widespread in most states in America in the winter (even fall) of 2019-2020. I don't think everyone who was sick had Covid of course. However, I think a certain percentage of people who tested negative for flu probably did have Covid. My guess, which is educated and based on at least one good or knowledgeable source, would be 20 to 30 percent of this group of non-flu sick people probably or perhaps had Covid. So that was the "first wave" of the pandemic, which was completely missed for some strange reasons.

Murdering criminals

If you murder one person, you are going to be pursued and prosecuted ... but if your actions cause the deaths of millions, you get away with it. Even get awards and big book contracts.

I can add anecdotally that I likely had the virus in the beginning of April 2019. I felt my chest tighten March 31, 2019 and the next morning was terrible. I rarely go to the doctor at the beginning of an illness because most take their natural course. I went to the doctor as soon as they opened April 1. Very tight chest, heavy cough that worsened for a week. Fever, weasing while laying down and other common symptoms. I was told by the doc that it was likely a viral upper respiratory infection. I was given an inhaler and a steroid. Neither did any good. I drank liquid Tylenol by the bottle (this from someone who takes less than 10 Tylenol a year). It was the sickest I have ever been. Coughed to the point I felt my ribs were cracked. The symptoms lasted nearly 6 months. I had to quit smoking for the weasing to finally go away and that didn't happen until August 2019. My wife (girlfriend at the time) also had a prolonged illness at the same time. She ran a low grade fever for weeks and had substantial joint inflammation. I fully believe what we had was c19. Neither of us has been more than inconveniently sick since then and neither of us has changed our lifestyle or taken any prescribed medication since that time. Anecdote for sure, but it is a data point that lines up with this theory that you and others like The Ethical Skeptic have put forward.

Thanks for adding that personal story to my list, Nah.

There is evidence in Europe too from retained blood samples that the virus was present November/December 2019. If you look at graphs of deaths attributed to CoVid in Europe, death rate peaked in early March 2020 and then declined through into April. (The Gompertz curve) Since infection to death, and allowing for reporting delays, is on average 28 days, this means peak infection rate was in early February and exponential infection was building through January. This must mean the early low level spread was in the end of 2019. A few people have opined that early cases of CoVid were mistaken for Colds & ‘flu in Winter 2019 - perhaps that is because CoVid 19 without its special name is just Colds & ‘flu.

All in all this reeks of manipulation then CYA; still think WEF, WHO, & the political/corporate players are in this thick.

Thank you for writing this! The implications are seismic!

The lockdowns should never have occurred. Public health protocols have been a disaster. And, the harms are so clearly crimes against humanity. Fauci and the CDC (and others) knew more.

My husband and I both had what we are now convinced was SC2 or some variant in mid-November 2019. We're rarely sick. We had never had anything like it. We didn't see a doctor for testing as it didn't strike us as strep or anything that an antibiotic would help. We simply stayed home with manageable symptoms and recuperated. Then, following the announced pandemic, we were so convinced that we had had it that we both went for lab antibody tests May 2020. Both results negative IgG. From what I've read, 6 months is a long time to still identify IgG antibodies.

The farce of the "vaccine" has been evident from the beginning. And mandating it for a virus that is 99% survivable never made sense. Look forward to reading more of your work.

Bill Rice, Jr.'s avatar

Thanks for the anecdote and the encouragement. I agree six months is probably too long for most people to still have detectable levels of antibodies. I'm working on a big piece right now that will develop this important point. Namely, I think many antibody "negative" results occurred because the test happened too late. I also think officials probably selected "authorized" tests that were going to be more likely to produce "negative" results.

When one takes this article, and compares it to Jikky The Mouse and ethical skeptic on twitter, a picture begins to take shape.

A virus was created in a lab in China, where it gets into the worldwide population.

As this virus is circulating, local papers report anything and everything under the sun as a possible cause of these mysterious illnesses.

Then, people connected to eco health alliance get medical systems worldwide, to NOT use Azithromycin on viral pneumonia, when that was the standard of care for ever.

Then suddenly, videos “leak” out of China, with relatively young and healthy appearing people, fish flopping all over the ground.

PAMDEMIC!!!

Hospitals rush to stick everyone on a ventilator, deny antibiotics, and ignore numerous other doctors who report success with off label use if other drugs.

Government, media, big tech collude to censor anyone outside the “official” narrative

The bodies pile up.

And a pandemic is made.

.....

Miracle Vaccine.

Daily death rates now 2x and 3x the rate at the height of the “pandemic”... media and government officials silent.

Big tech, government, media collude to censor anyone reporting adverse events from the vaccine.

Do we see the picture yet?

Exponential spread is what should occur with a contagion. A case here and a case there is odd, to us outside "being in the know". Someone knows why early events occurred. I wouldn't call it early spread at that point since that would require testing of everyone around the index case. Bill, you're not getting much help at this point. I wonder if freedom of information could be invoked to help you out?

Bill Rice, Jr.'s avatar

I wouldn't be surprised if "exponential spread" actually happened. When I got sick in early January (with all the Covid symptoms) my two kids were also sick. None of us tested positive for the flu. That's 75 percent of my family. My wife is a school teacher. One day when I was laid out in bed, she came home and told me "half" the students in one of her classes was out sick with some virus. This, in my opinion, was the real "first wave" of this virus. I wouldn't be surprised if 50 percent of the population had been infected by April. Remember, at least half of the cases would have been asymptomatic.

sk's avatar

With that in mind, we need to lump "Covid" in with the other Influenza-like illnesses. There was a study showing that 84% of those with Influenza-Like illness tested negative for any stain of Flu. Another issue is the PCR test. Personally, I think that the test(s) were designed to pick up common RNA segments, making for greater positivity and with that more government money to toss around. I always seem to go back to the theme of people are sick, but what is the cause and did anyone nefariously cause it. Certainly the reaction by government was nefarious.

Bill Rice, Jr.'s avatar

My next "deep dive" into "early spread" evidence will simply report all the contemporaneous evidence showing that ILI was "severe" and "widespread" in the vast majority of U.S. states in the winter of 2019-2020. And you are right that most of these sick people who went to the doctor actually tested negative for flu. I don't believe all of these sick people (or even most of them) actually had Covid - but a significant percentage probably did. So the evidence of "early spread" is also the huge number of people sick with Covid-like symptoms in America, beginning in November 2019. I think a week or two before Thanksgiving was the real "first wave" of this virus in America.

This is great research. I want to be able to explain it to people I know but I don’t understand one thing that I know will be asked. Why did people not start dying until months later? Did they modify the first virus to strengthen it?
