                      IS CORONA A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION? 

• Ram Ohri, IPS (Retd)

The deadly Chinese Pandemic  from Wuhan, aka Coronavirus,  has taken the world by storm and killed more than half million ( 5 lakh) innocents across the globe.  Approximatey 10 million (one crore)  infected victims are under treatment. Many among them might also die during treatment.  It has infected more than ten million persons worldwide and the death toll is rising rapidly. The USA leads with the highest number of Corona patients totaling 2.5 million, followed by Brazil with 1.3 million cases. Russia is at third place with 6,33,000 cases. India has the fourth largest number of Corona patients estimated at 5,28,000!  The incidence of Coronavirus is rising by one million people per day.

Bio Weapons Origin of Corona

According to an indepth research undertaken by Dr. Francis Boyle, a Professor of International Law at the University of Illinois College of Law,  Corona is an offensive  biological  warfare weapon created in Wuhan BSL-4 Lab.¹

Thanks to the perfidy of China’s dictator, Xi Jinping,  mankind is facing a global disaster of  mammoth magnitude.    The number of deaths caused by Corona is much larger than the total deaths caused by the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 during World War II which was much lesser!  It was estimated to be  approximately 2,26,000² By now the deaths caused by Corona reached a staggering total of more than five million, which is more than  twice the number of deaths caused by the two nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 during World War II.  Prima facie Coronavirus, invented and nurtured by China in a Wuhan laboratory,  has emerged as a dangerous  WMD (Weapon of Mass Destruction) – much more lethal than  the nuclear bomb!

According to Asian Development Bank the pandemic has the potential to cause destruction of wealth totalling almost $  9 trillions or more across the globe. On top of it, the job losses caused by the pandemic have trapped millions of wage earners in hunger and penury.

What is a WMD ?

According to the U.S. law, WMD has been defined as anyone of the following³:   

• A destructive device, such as an explosive or incendiary bomb, rocket, or grenade ; or
• A weapon that is designed to cause death or serious injury through toxic or poisonous chemicals ; or
• A weapon that contains biological agent or toxin ; or
• A weapon that is designed to release dangerous levels of radiation or radioactivity.

It is crystal clear that Coronavirus belongs to the category of the WMDs containing biological agents and toxins.

There are strong reasons to believe that Corona is a man-made virus created by Chinese virologists in a Wuhan laboratory in a bid to establish their supremacy across the world.  The Corona narrative  has been lucidly explained by Lawrence Sellin, a retired officer of  the U S army,  in his presentation on WION tele-channel⁴. (Source:⁴ WION TV Channel) He has exposed the multiple gaping holes in the narrative promoted by the Chinese Communist Party that COVID-19 was mutated naturally in a Bat population  thereby acquiring the ability to infect humans and was thereafter  transmitted to the people either visiting or working in the Wuhan Seafood Market.  But this appears to be a lie

The truth, however, is altogether different. It was already known by the end of January 2020, that none of the initial patients hospitalised between December 1, 2019 and December 10, 2019, had  ever visited the seafood market. More importantly, at that time Bats were not sold in the Seafood Market..

Despite the extraordinary propaganda campaign mounted by the Chinese government and its sycophants in the West, the  laboratory origin of COVID-19 remains unknown and all of the structurally close Bat coronaviruses so far identified to explain its origin have only raised more doubts.

It was claimed by two Indian scientists of IIT and Delhi University in ……. that corona  is a man made virus made in a laboratory. The research paper by a group of  Indian scientists from the School of Biological Sciences at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and Acharya Narendra Dev College, Delhi University, claimed that spike protein in novel coronavirus contained four  “insertions”  which  “are not present in other coronaviruses”.  The research paper notes that “amino acid residues in all the four inserts have identity or similarity to those in the HIV1 gp120, or HIV-1 Gag”  HIV is the virus tha causes AIDS.  The scientists argued that simiarity in amino acid identity was not “a random fortuitous finding” hinting at the greater possibility of  its being engineered in a laboratory.

In February 2020, Chinese scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, led by Zheng-Li Shi, claimed that the coronavirus RaTG13, isolated from Bats in Yunnan Province, China, showed a 96.2% sequence identity with COVID-19, They claimed that  therefore, “RaTG13 is the closest relative” of COVID-19 and forms a distinct lineage from other coronaviruses.

Subsequently on March 17, 2020,  it was claimed in the article “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,”  that the virus was a natural manifestation. This was widely cited by  Chinese scientists and the manipulated media, supporting the conclusion that the sequence RaTG13 is CoVid-19’s closest relative, which had  “jumped” from animals to humans in the Wuhan Seafood Market. Apparently this was a propaganda  launched by the Chinese apologists.

It was later revealed that RaTG13 only existed on paper and was actually a duplicate of another Bat coronavirus, i.e., BtCoV/4991, about which very little experimental data has been published.   Nevertheless, if we use the RaTG13 sequence, which has provided the basis of China’s naturally-occurring theory for the origin of COVID-19, multiple  holes appear in its argument. COVID-19’s receptor binding domain, which allows the attachment of the virus to a human cell, is structurally closer in its amino acid sequence to that of Pangolins (scaly anteaters) than to Bat RaTG13.

Sequence of COVID-19

 
According to  the analysis made by  retired Col. Lawrence Sellin of the U S army,   the sequence of Corona virus is as follows:⁴
N S N N L D S K V G G N Y N Y L Y R L F R K S N L K P F E R D I S T E I Y Q A G S T P C
N G V E G F N C Y F P L Q S Y G F Q P T N G V G Y Q P Y
On the other hand the Pangolin  Sequence analysed by Lawrence Sellin is altogether different. It is as follows:

N S N N L D S K V G G N Y N Y L Y R L F R K S N L K P F E R D I S T E I Y Q A G S T P C  N G V E G F N C Y F P L Q S Y G F H P T N G V G Y Q P Y

RaTG13 N S K H I D A K E G G N F N Y L Y R L F R K A N L K P F E R D I S T E I Y Q A G S K P CN G Q T G L N C Y Y P L Y R Y G F Y P T D G V G H Q P Y

Anyone can see, the pangolin sequence differs from COVID-19 only by one amino acid, while RaTG13 differs in seventeen positions. Within the receptor-binding domain there are fourteen specific amino acids that were previously shown  to be critical for coronaviruses to bind to the angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 receptor that initiated the COVID-19 infection in humans.

`      At least two pangolin species match those critical COVID-19 amino acids in thirteen out of fourteen positions, whereas RaTG13 matches only seven out of fourteen and other bat coronaviruses do so to an even lesser extent. The

Chinese scientists claim  that the pangolin receptor binding domain was “donated” to COVID-19, presumably through some type of recombinant event occurring between a Bat coronavirus and a Pangolin coronavirus inside a Pangolin host.

The ludicrous explanation offered by Chinese virologists for the presence of a pangolin-like receptor binding domain is highly speculative and no scientific  evidence exists to support such a conclusion. A far more likely scenario is that the native receptor binding domain within a bat coronavirus “backbone” was artificially replaced with one from a pangolin strain, asserts Lawrence Sellin. After that, came the insertion of the gene called Furin.  The ‘furin’s polybasic cleavage site, found in COVID-19, but non-existent in the close Bat coronaviruses relatives, which might have a distinctive feature that is widely known for its ability to enhance pathogenicity and transmissibility in coronaviruses.

Col.  Lawrence Sellin has served in the US Special Forces where he handled  assignments in the Chemical and Medical branches. He claims to possess  extensive experience in  civillian medical research and holds  a degree in Physiology.

There is additional information now being discussed on several virology blogs indicating that COVID-19 is not  a naturally-occurring virus because its differential ratio of synonymous to non-synonymous substitution is vastly different compared to that which occurs in nature among Bat populations as well as natural factors that would select against the presence of a furin polybasic cleavage site. Furin is an enzyme protein which can be transferred to human beings.

Meanwhile no one knows why restrictions have been imposed by the Chinese government on academic research related to the origins of COVID-19. It appears to be a sinister attempt to control the narrative about the origin of the pandemic.

China’s ongoing propaganda campaign and its associated Western cohorts must not be allowed to stop honest scientific inquiry by a Committee of Experts from discovering the true origin of COVID-19.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), some Western scientists sympathetic to China and the obsequious media have been making enormous efforts to convince the public that the COVID-19 pandemic is a naturally-occurring outbreak of disease.

There are now rumours  within the global scientific community that many Western professional journals have been submitting to the  pressure from Beijing and refusing to publish the Corona data that do not conform to the naturally-occurring interpretation of the origin of COVID-19. put forward by China.

Prima facie the morbid ambition of an over ambitious  megalomaniaac dictator has been pushing the world to the edge of  the Extinction Cliff. This man-made disaster must not be ignored by the scores of affected nations  –  India included. The matter should be taken up in the UN Human Rights Council  for indepth investigation by a Committee of  Experts.    It could later on be referred to the International Court of Justice for penalising the Chinese Virologists and granting compensation to the families of millions of victims of the sordid Chinese conspiracy.
