Cutting Room Floor text, Part 1 (yes, this story could have been even longer!)

Furthermore, I’ve never read an article that reports that evidence of “early spread” in America was ever presented to President Trump, his Covid braintrust and the American public BEFORE the lockdowns (to "slow or stop spread") were ordered.

Would President Trump have ordered lockdowns if he knew, perhaps, millions (or tens of millions) of Americans had already been infected by March 15, 2020? Five years after the lockdowns, nobody knows the answer to this question … which is … strange.

Even stranger is the apparent (and discombobulating) fact that the possibility of early spread in America -infections occurring before the “Wuhan outbreak” of December 2019 - never occurred to any public health official.

Everyone who matters in epidemiology and public health has simply assumed Case Zero occurred in Wuhan, China, which might be true … but also might be false.

While it might be wise to listen to experts when they actually know what they are talking about, it might be unwise to follow the “guidance” of experts who are either captured, corrupt, obtuse or too lazy or incompetent to perform common-sense investigations.

Cutting-room-floor text 2:

(On at least four occasions, I emailed The NY Times’ “news tip” address, giving whatever person reads these story tips all of my key early-spread information. Every email mentioned that one of the paper’s own subscribers - Shane from Marin County, California - reported in this newspaper’s Reader Comment section that he was extremely sick with Covid symptoms in the “fall” of 2019 and later received TWO positive antibody results. He even named the labs that performed the tests.)

I also cut a section of my story where I disclose that Brandie McCain of little, rural Sylacuaga, AL has tested positive for antibodies at least THREE times. Brandie was "very sick" at the same time as her husband, Tim (in late December 2019).

Her third positive antibody test took place more than a year after she was sick. As Brandie told me, it would seem like some public health official would be interested in her case and her husband's if for no other reason than to ascertain how long antibodies last. Brandie told me her titer levels were still "very high" on her third positive test.

Sooner or later this is all going to come out, and people are going to realize they were fully duped. Not misled, not even lied to - outright duped.

Thank Goodness, Transcriber B has saved many of the important transcripts. Future historians will have abundant source material to tell us the full and more-accurate story. I wonder if my Substack archives will still be around in a decade?

Our substack archives might be around, or might not be. I've been around long enough to see many platforms go dark. But still, some from very early on are still up (when not censored— I'm thinking in particular of blogger). I keep banging the drum for making paper print-outs, well-labeled, kept in a sturdy box. And backup copies, also well-labeled, also kept in a sturdy box. There will be institutional archives— perhaps fewer than we have now, but they will be there somewhere and when the dust settles from the storm of covidian nuttiness, some will be glad to take your papers. Might I suggest, tell your kids, "when I pass on, do not allow this box to get thrown out." This might be well beyond our lifetimes when researchers can look at all this objectively. I really hope I'm wrong about that, though.

Rotsa ruck on that. All sorts of things get discarded or treated harshly, even when specifically labelled otherwise.

Yes, it is terrible how often things that shouldn't up in the dumpster. I am well aware of that. One simply has to do the best one can, make sure that the papers find a home (better, homes) before one's passing. And I can say from experience that it's a whole lot easier to place papers with an institutional archive when they are well-organized, well-labeled, and in sturdy boxes.

The truth was already known. It was pyblished by the history channel a couple of years after president Kennedy was murdered. I purchased the DVDs. It is all detaild there. The murder was alredy pllanned by the Military Industrial Complex,, Lindon Bains Johnson,, The FBI, the CIA, The Bilderberg Group. There were also 17 witnesses, which misteriouslly did within a year!. I m sure the DVDs are still available someplace.

Re: How strange it is that some people won't talk about possible early cases

I can think of at least two people who apparently had early Covid and then later got positive antibody test results, but they don't want this information to be disclosed for some reason.

One possible/likely early case was a young lady who worked as a nanny for a friend's two children. My friend told me his kids were sick in, I think, December 2019 or maybe January of 2020. At the same time, the kids were sick, the nanny was also sick.

Per my friend, the nanny later got an antibody test when these tests finally became available (typically in May 2020). The antibody test was positive. I asked my friend to have her contact me, but she never did.

Another mother told me a similar story about one of her children, but when I tried to follow up and get some details "on the record," she went silent.

My take-away is that some people intuitively sense that their anecdotes go against the authorized narrative and they shouldn't disclose this for some reason. Frankly, I don't understand this or understand this apparent fear or trepidation.

I should also note that Ron Unz and myself could both be correct. That is, it's possible that this virus was already spreading around the world by the time the World Military Games took place in October in Wuhan ... and some sinister plot could have "seeded" the virus at these games - perhaps to expedite virus spread and/or frame China for this outbreak.

My good friend Matt Rivers, who was the general manager of a golf course resort in Alabama contracted the worse case of flu imaginable during Thanksgiving of 2019, which lasted into early December. High fever, aches, as well as an incredible loss of energy. Most certainly, his illness was part of the "early spread."

Thanks, Jeffrey. Tel Matt to check out my Substack. He can subscribe and share his "early spread" testimonial in the Reader Comments. I'm pretty sure my archive of "early spread" testimonials is the largest in the world.

I've always believed the "anecdotes matter," especially when millions of people report the same type stories or experiences.

"Early spread" anecdotes matter, just like "vaccine injury" anecdotes SHOULD matter.

Will do Bill. He moved to Madison, Wisconsin in 2021 to run a country club up that way. Don’t speak with him much these days but do remember how sick he was during the period I mentioned.

Bill Rice, Jr.'s avatar

Thanks, Gas Axe. I re-stated some of my conclusions in different ways that might be more powerful. For example, I like my sentence where I wrote that if archived blood collected in all 50 states in December 2019 had occurred, the results would have, I believe, shown that Americans in all 50 states had already been exposed to this virus by November 2019.

I really believe this, and I really think a hypothetical headline telling Americans this WOULD have "changed the narrative" on Covid.

You know my 2019-2020 flu vaccine theory of origination. The quadrivalent they decided to go with globally included a particularly virulent and severe strain they identified emerged in 2018-2019 flu season. Believing they needed to anticipate its evolved appearance in 2019-2020. There was much debate within the vaccine-making community about including such a severe strain. My earlier comments have shared all the details.

Now there's this Cleveland Clinic study about this year's flu vaccine:

https://thehighwire.com/editorial/cleveland-clinic-study-this-years-flu-vaccine-linked-to-higher-infections/

How's my 2019-2020 flu vaccine origination of "covid," aka a severe flu variant like what was in it, sound now? Remember, vaccines shed, especially the LAIV type, live. So you didn't need to get jabbed to get it from shedding.

Thermo. Nuclear?

I think you are over the target and these flu vaccines (from 2019-2020 and 2020-2021) might be trying to tell us vital info. Why isn't anyone "who matters" looking into this hypothesis?

It seems to me you could have two scandals: Maybe a lab-made coronavirus that escaped or was released and flu vaccines that stirred the pot and produced many, or all, of these symptoms?

The number of ILI cases in 2019-2020 was very high. In the months before "official Covid," The number of "flu tests given" was higher than it had ever been in history.

Why were so many more people getting flu tests in November 2019 - February 2020?

Happens a lot. One example: Sam Quinones did the work to uncover the opiate epidemic story, many journalists (and including 60 Minutes) took that and ran with it without giving him credit. If anyone's interested, Quinones' book is DREAMLAND.

It was also some obscure tech/science blogger who figured out Theranos was a complete scam. This person emailed a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, who actually followed up on this "news tip." That reporter later wrote a series of articles for the WSJ and the best-selling book "Bad Blood." So the WSJ gets credit for, belatedly (about 8 years too late), exposing the Theranos blood-testing scam, but it was actually a citizen journalist who figured it out.

As noted in today's article, I tried to do the same thing by emailing the WSJ's Betsy McKay and getting her to act on all my findings. Unlike the Theranos' tip, the WSJ "took a pass" on exposing this scandal of "early spread."

Take-away: Some scandals are okay to expose ... others not.

Please fix this at the beginning: "Individuals participating in the World Military Games began arriving in this city days before the Opening Ceremonies on October 18, 2020." That's October 18, 2019, right?

I haven't read the whole thing yet. Like I do with A Midwestern Doctor, I will print it out at work, double sided, and read on paper. This was a lot of work. Thank you for doing this.

Annie, our Corgi/Terrier Mix pooch who sits right next to me in a chair in the study.

She's the co-editor, chief copy editor for the entire operation and I don't think she's caught a typo yet. On top of this, she jumps up on my chair when I go to the bathroom and kitchen and eats any ink pens and papers she can find on my desk (which is a 1965 hand-me-down card table).

She's so sweet, some of the time, that I can't fire her and she does give me good moral support when I need it.

One day I'm going to get a writing job where I have human being copy editors - those jobs used to exist, but I'm not sure they still do.
