An additional “bibliography” of articles I’ve written on the topic of early spread would include these nine or ten articles, which I think may be of interest to readers interested in this topic - Bill Rice, Jr.

This article summarizes all of the evidence of the KNOWN people who tested positive for Covid antibodies.

I’ve posited that probably “tens of millions” of people likely had been infected by the lockdown dates of mid-March 2020. This article seeks to explain how I reached this conclusion/estimates:

Can an early “case” even be “confirmed?” I argue no and in this article focus on officials from Washington who refuse to even “confirm” two positive antibody early cases and admit that there are many other possible early cases they have never investigated.

This article documents the lies/obfuscations of CDC officials regarding the dates virus spread began in America. This May 29, 2020 press conference was officials’ efforts to tell everyone, “no early spread in America, folks. We looked for it and it wasn’t there.” This effort at “narrative control” worked. No one “who matters” looked at all the real or best evidence of early spread.

One proven case is really all you need “confirm” early spread. A deeper dive into the cases of Tim and Brandie McCain of Sylaucauga, Alabama. Note that no public health official has ever interviewed the McCains, who have begged officials to do this.

The “most important thing” for our rulers was getting as many people as possible vaccinated, roll out mRNA “vaccines” and pave the road for for “vaccine passports” and digital control of the population. Journalism or official reports that provided compelling evidence of “early spread” would have almost certainly thwarted the agenda of those seeking to advance “the most important thing.”

How I got started on my “early spread” investigations. I asked the followers on my Facebook page (before I was banned) to contact me if they thought they might have had an early case, or knew of other family members who could have had early cases. This article highlights some of the responses I received and my take-away from these responses.

Why early spread matters. In this article, I make my arguments about why this subject is so important. If all the evidence had been revealed to the public, EVERYTHING would have changed (for the better).

The “back story” of my first “early spread” story. This article provides evidence from my own experiences that led me to conclude that public health officials AND the mainstream news organizations were NOT going to investigate this topic. Indeed, my most chilling take-away is that a “search for the truth” is not important to officials or mainstream journalists.

If early spread happened, why no early deaths? In this article, I attempt to answer one of the most common arguments of skeptics of the “early spread” hypothesis. The argument is that it’s impossible for “early spread” to have happened because too many deaths would have occurred to have been “missed.” Check your assumptions, I write. I believe most of the deaths from late March and April 2020 (and afterwards) were probably caused by faulty medical protocols and the panic created by the narrative (iatrogenic deaths) … not by the virus proper.

I think the real Infection Fatality Rates reported by Professor Ionnaddis of Stanford show that 99.99 percent of people infected by this virus do not die from it. People were being infected by this virus in large numbers prior to March 2020 … but very few were dying from it. The virus didn't change in late March 2020; the protocols changed.

Ignoring the fact most of the latter ‘Covid deaths” were from iatrogenic reasons (not the virus) also conceals early spread imo. This explains why early cases didn’t results in more or noticeable numbers of early deaths.

On the surface, this article deals with the question of WHEN people were being infected by this virus. However, all of my points are really trying to get to the answer of WHO must have known this virus had already spread around the globe by at least November 2019. If someone can definitively answer this question, those people need to be prosecuted for "crimes against humanity." And plenty of other people who were just group-thinkers need to be purged from their positions of power, disgraced and never hold positions of power the rest of their lives.

I so agree. I think if you could get the data on people testing for influenza which turned out to be non A non B...voila, there is your covid.

Most people I know who had the "flu" since September 2019, were ill with non a non b type "influenza"... in other words they were sick, but not with any flu made known to us.

In November of 2019, my friend fell ill with what he said was “either the worst cold or the weirdest flu he ever had.” He lost his sense of smell and had serious cognition problems. In February a bunch of us celebrated Super Bowl in Laughlin (we do this every year). We had to eat Saturday dinner in a buffet, which we usually avoid. During the drive home on Monday, my passenger (a different friend) started sneezing and coughing, and it got worse during the 4-hour drive. By evening I was coughing. We were both sick for about a week, and we both described our symptoms as moderate to severe. I was a retail pharmacist for 25 years, exposed to every bug that ever circulated, but I never got sick except for occasional sniffles for a day or two. By May I was convinced we both had Covid, but it was too late to test for antibodies. In June of ‘22 I got Omicron (on an all-vaccinated-only cruise!) and the symptoms were identical. Long story short, it is my firm clinical opinion that Covid was circulating in Southern California in November of ‘19, and was widespread within a couple of months.

My son is a realtor in NYC. Very healthy marathon runners from his office were violently ill in October 2019. Their doctors had no idea what was wrong with them.

As far as I'm concerned, anything the Fauci says should be regarded as a smoking gun...literally everything he says is a lie designed to cover up aspects of the truth.

Per your point #15, the Fauci pushed the wet market theory to conceal cover-up of the lab release..."By emphasizing the cluster of cases allegedly tracing to this live market, officials signaled that there was no need to go back further in time to look for other cases that pre-dated this live market. "

What possible combination of disparaging word abstractions can one apply to this individual's name and career as a physician?

A life and a name that will surely live in infamy? How will this history be written?

Many of us in healthcare wish Fauci to be held accountable for his mass murders during the AIDS crisis. His refusal to allow patients with pneumocystic pneumonia to be treated with cheap, effective Bactrim killed about 20,000 men. His single-drug, high-dose toxic AZT regimen killed hundreds of thousands. Meanwhile, a relatively obscure Chinese-American researcher named David Ho pioneered the multidrug, early-intervention approach that actually worked. David was named Time’s Man of the Year in 1996, an honor which Fauci never got (and I’m sure it chaps his ass to this very day)

The loss to cancer research and patients alone must be in the millions of patients -- but the $$ gains made were indeed incredible. We could have come very far indeed with a cure for many different cancers had this man not been at the helm. Some day that truth too will come out. Maybe some day there will be researchers with ethics and not looking for fame and $$$. Anything of value ( curative) was stomped out if it couldn’t be monetized. Reprehensible barely covers it.

In France, 2020 before the second lockdown in October, it was reported on BFM (I think) News channel that CoV 2 had been found in sewage in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany over the previous few weeks and the incidence was dropping indicating the ‘wave’ was nearly over so the October lockdown was useless. It also reported later that CoV 2 had been found in retained sewage samples back in December 2019. None of this was reported in the wider French media, or anywhere else in Europe. It is clear the information was there, but the media was determined to do nothing which would go against the narrative. I don’t think Governments had to do anything to contain information, the captive, tame media was making sure nothing got out.

It had already been around the world more than once starting in summer 2019, when “lockdowns” were mandated in March 2020. Most people either didn’t know they were sick, had mild symptoms, some maybe felt ill but not deathly so, & the always-susceptible (frail, elderly, people of any age w/ compromised immune systems or co-morbidities) died like they always do w/ respiratory illnesses. It was a farce from the beginning & the powers the be like Faux-Xi knew it

Bill, I had symptoms of COVID in January, 2020. Sicker than a dog for 3-4 days with what was very similar to influenza. I did not go to my doc as I knew my test would be negative. (I am a physician myself and every one of my similarly affected patients had tested negative for influenza A and B over the preceding 3 months.) I knew I had caught it from one of them. So I took my own advice, stayed home, took DayQuil and NyQuil, Tylenol, drank plenty of clear liquids and ate chicken soup. Within 5 days I felt like a million bucks and was back to work.

I waited until my annual physical 23 months later (I skipped my physical in December of 2020 because they wouldn’t let me in without a mask) to bring this up with my own doc and ask for an antibody test. I’m not vaccinated for many reasons, first and foremost because I had a strong suspicion that I was already immune. My doc thought I was nuts but he ordered the test anyway. It was positive, 23 months after the fact. He never said a word about it, or admitted that I might have been right about natural immunity. Just like he never admitted I might be right about the jab not being safe or effective even though he contracted COVID himself after being “vaccinated” and boosted, and after my “vaccinated” brother dropped dead a couple of weeks after his 2nd jab.

I would look for a different doctor but there aren’t any around here who understand what has been going on for the past 3+ years.

Thanks, Victoria. You are now part of my growing "early case" group (based on Covid symptoms before February 2020) and a later positive antibody test. Do you happen to remember the date you first experienced symptoms (late January, mid-January, early January)? Also, where do you live?

Can I use your name in case I update my list? I can use just your first name or initials if you are more comfortable with that.

My email is:

wjricejunior@gmail.com

P.S. I assume you didn't get sick after January 2020, right? If this is the case, that might be evidence you acquired natural immunity at least to the early strain of the virus.

Hi Bill - after this thing blew up in early '20, my 30 yo daughter talked about both her and hubby getting wicked flu like never seen before - she's not sure - about Oct of 2019. They lived in Keswick On and went to a birthday party for a neighbour who routinely travelled to the US (likely Buffalo) for fun etc. The same lady they discovered came down with the same thing at the same time surviving on her hubby's asthma puffer because it was so bad. I hope this adds to your compilation of stories.

Thanks, Kevin. I'm saving these "early spread" testimonials for an upcoming story. I'm going to run excerpts from hundreds of such stories. My thought or question is: Are ALL of these people wrong?

Quote: I am a physician myself and every one of my similarly affected patients had tested negative for influenza A and B over the preceding 3 months.Unquote.

I am a teacher, and I NEVER get sick (was sick for a year when I first started...but after 20 years, not a sniffle).

All of my colleagues and friends (see my remark above) all tested negative for flu..non a non b through November, Dec, 19 , and january february 2020. I myself came down with "flu" in March 2020...took Tamiflu, was back in 1.5 days...never even suspected it could be Covid...but had lungs that hurt when I breathed for 2 weeks after.

You are so much righter than you know.

Nice to have a physician notice it too.

You know I'm with you here, and I'll offer up a little evidence for #16 (censorship).

AJ Kay published "The Curve is Already Flat" (available here: https://www.ajkaywriter.com/latest-essays/the-curve-is-already-flat) on April 2, 2020. Medium immediately took the page offline and banned her in what was -- at that time -- a shockingly blatant attempt at censorship in order to shut down the conversation.

Knowing what we know now, we can deduce that she was banned because she was correct and the 'experts' knew it. But that meant that we had been living with the virus in 2019 and didn't even notice, even while we were doing all the things that they told us were too dangerous in 2020 and 2021.

As I mentioned awhile back, my husband was sick the last week of February 2020 and I was from March 1-14. I thought if this is the flu, it is the worst flu I have ever had. The coughing was unbelievable & when I ate soup it had a taste like vinegar! I thought if this is how I react to the flu now, what would covid be like? By March 10, I learned that coughing can be serious along with lack of taste and smell. I never went to the doctor but just about to when the condition improved some.

I decided to get an antibody test at Quest Diagnostics on May 15th. I was surprised that the result was negative. I am pretty convinced it was a false negative. We never were vaccinated and haven't had covid - unless we had the first one...the "Wuhan" one.

I got an antibody test - I think from the same lab - around May 15th after having all the Covid symptoms in January. My test result was negative too. I still think I had Covid in January for many reasons. So I wonder about the AB tests.

Expand full comment

We would have had the original....I went to Quest since it was purported to have a valid test. I wonder if the "level" was set too high at the time to call it positive. Also, before my husband got it, his brother in law - who works around a lot of people - had it along with his sister. At the time I checked Tarrant County's flu report site and ILI was also high in our zip code.....a working outside of the home area. I wish we could know the answers.

Thank you. I just have this strong suspicion the "authorized" antibody tests may have been manipulates somehow to conceal/reduce the number of "positives" that were being reported. I've made a big deal out of the ONE CDC antibody study of "archived" blood. The first tranche of that blood showed that 2.03 percent of donors already had antibodies by Dec. 13-16, 2019. However, I think that 2.03 percent figure is probably low because I suspect the antibody tests were set up to reduce the number of positives. That is, I wouldn't be surprised if the real "positive" percentage was, say, 3.03 percent or 4 percent positives. A difference of just 1 percent extrapolated to the entire U.S. population would imply 6.6 million more early cases.

Expand full comment

I agree. And, when we had the tests, they may have had that still going on...to reduce the number of positives. What's a bit amusing is I had to go to the dentist a few times during the past three years......of all places. I have not had it. I truly believe you and I had it early on. At this point, even if the antibodies have waned, we have innate immunity.

Expand full comment

I suspect so much the same...and I don't think we are all paranoid or crazy.

The problem with early diagnosis for spread is twofold. First, PCR is an analytical tool with almost zero diagnostic specificity and was never designed for diagnostic purposes (proven 100% useless during a pertussis outbreak at Dartmouth- Hitchcock hospital in 2007.) Secondly, antibody testing is non-specific and merely indicates an antigen response to a foreign protein. This was a manufactured pandemic based primarily on ignorance and fear.

Expand full comment

It was a bogus timeline.

There were several instances of earlier cases available to the public. Some of which you have mentioned.

You, or someone with the know how to use software to track keywords in articles could probably find many more.

But, instead of us finding it, will some agency in government or journalism "out it" first? Because enough time has passed and at least half the country doesn't care they were played over this whole deal?

For fun watch the video by christian comedian Tim Hawkins "The Goverment Can" just to get a handle on how our government, and this time, scores of others can scam and harm us, repeatedly.

Thank you, Duchess. My conclusion is that a lot of behind-the-scenes manipulating went on to conceal public-knowledge of "early spread." Even if all 27 of these mechanisms weren't employed - if only 20 were employed - that's telling us something. Or should be (but has not).

Why ?

Why can't you see ?

It is as clear as the nose on your face.

Why did the US cover up early spread?

The virus was created in US then the US military was infected and sent to the war games in Wuhan.

We have met the enemy and they are us.

Great descriptive analysis of the Big Fail.

But at this point it seems moot. We’re questioning the existence of an unproven “virus” as bioweapon, in favour of renewed flu and dissemination of spike protein as that weapon. And theatre to carry the Big Lie.
