COVID-19 was an engineered bio-weapon, expert reveals

A bioweapons expert and professor of international law at the University of Illinois who drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, Francis Boyle, says that he warned governments and public health authorities in January 2020 that COVID-19 was an engineered bioweapon.

He stated this while reacting to a report which revealed that there was a coordinated effort by federal officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, to suppress the COVID-19 lab-leak hypothesis and instead promote the “natural origin” theory.

The release of the report follows Tuesday’s testimony before the committee by some of the co-authors of the “Proximal Origin” paper, including Kristian Andersen, Ph.D., a professor of immunology and microbiology at the California-based Scripps Research Institute, and Robert F. Garry, Ph.D., a professor of microbiology and immunology at the Tulane School of Medicine.

“My intention for doing this was to alert all governments in the world and public health authorities that what humanity was dealing with here was an existentially dangerous biological warfare weapon that must be treated as such, and not some animal virus that had somehow miraculously jumped out of the Wuhan wet-market.

“This wet-market propaganda materially downplayed the existential dangers of the Wuhan Coronavirus biowarfare weapon and substantially interfered with the proper containment, remediation and treatment of what was later called COVID-19.”

Boyle further alleged that the federal government acknowledged, in communications with him, that COVID-19 was a dangerous bioweapon, but didn’t take action. He said:

“Soon after publishing my alert, I was informed by one of the Pentagon’s top experts on chemical and biological warfare weapons that the Fort Detrick bioweapons facility had manuals on the containment and remediation of biological warfare weapons that should be applied to COVID-19.

“Those Fort Detrick manuals dealing with biological weapons should have been applied immediately. They were not. As a result, about 1.5 million Americans have died as a direct result of COVID-19.”

Earlier in January 2020, Jeremy Farrar, Ph.D., then-head of the Wellcome Trust, noted there were “unusual aspects” contained within the sequence of COVID-19, and that there was “chatter” at the time suggesting “the virus looked almost engineered to infect human cells.”

Yet, according to the report, “Dr. Farrar’s first concern was not the well-being of the planet,” but instead, whether the novel coronavirus might be related to gain-of-function research, which Farrar believed to be “ultimately useful.”

Fauci himself was behind the “Proximal Origin” paper, according to the report, because he wanted to disprove the lab-leak theory, “to avoid blaming China for the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Fauci was the head of NIAID until his retirement in December 2022.
