21st Century Pandemic Timeline

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

Preface: Here is a thread I made on ATS, it got a total of 13 replies, including my own, and then basically it disappeared from the forum. With rumors about that website going around, and the fact it made little traction there, I'm putting up here. It won't be entirely the same as over there, as I will be going by my notes.

A 21st century pandemic timeline, a year by year summary of outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics for the twenty-first century. I have only covered up to 2019 when the pandemic officially started. I've tried to limit the timeline to "just the facts" and leave the conspiracies up to the membership. Feel free to add anything I missed in this timeline or to add something relevant from 2020.

2002
The 2002–2004 SARS outbreak was an epidemic involving severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by . . . coronavirus (SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-1). The outbreak was first identified in Foshan, Guangdong, China, on 16 November 2002. Over 8,000 people from 29 different countries and territories were infected, and at least 774 died worldwide.

Very nice summary.  The amount of digging you did to identify the key events and dates is readily apparent.

Hard to conclude that this is not a lab-created bioweapon.

I am up in the air over whether the release was accidental or intentional.

Great work!  Bookmarking!    

I've "felt" that this was intentional since day one. I've learned too much about how the Powers That Be and Gates operate to not unleash my conspiracy theories involving this matter.
Once I came across the video/information that Fauci had told during a speech that a pandemic would hit the U.S. during President Trump's term in office, that was all I needed to validate my suspicions. He knew. He is guilty right up there with Gates, China, and all involved.

I'm not sure how it got to the U.S., but that point is moot now. I do hope they find out exactly who brought it here though and prosecute them to the fullest.
Then China!!  They knew exactly what they were doing, IMO.

When the countries around the world get finished taking China to the bank, that should bring them down off their high horse in attempting to take over the globe as the world-wide dictator.

Thanks. It started by organizing my personal notes on the COVID pandemic that I did because I was running into a lot of people who demanded reference sources when I'd make a post related to the virus and it's origins. So as I decided to go chronologically and I began to fill in the gaps. It then became a year by year search going backwards until I came to 2002 when it all really began. Search terms included the year and words like pandemic, epidemic, and outbreak.

Now I intend to expand on this topic here on Rogue Nation III. I just added an incident in 2005 and will start connecting some dots. I intend on finding that mine it all started in, at least get close to finding it.

I'd like to believe that China was alone in this, but a lot of countries were playing with this bug since it was first studied. It probably came from China, likely by accident, but it could have gotten loose anywhere in the world with so many labs doing these gain of function studies.

I found the 2012 incident in which 6 miners contracted a mysterious, pneumonia-like illness that was later used to claim that these miners were the source of the COVID 19 when it "naturally" jumped to humans from bats.

In April 2012, six miners in the Mojiang mine in southwestern China’s Yunnan province fell ill after spending more than 14 days removing bat feces. Three eventually died . . . The doctor also sent sample tissues from the miners to the Wuhan lab, a focal point of coronavirus research in China. There, scientists found the source of infection was a SARS-like coronavirus from a Chinese rufous horseshoe bat, according to the thesis.

Latham and Wilson believe the virus — once inside the miners — “evolved” into SARS CoV-2, “an unusually pathogenic coronavirus highly adapted to humans,” and the samples somehow escaped from the lab last year, launching what has morphed into the coronavirus pandemic.

. . . In fact, Shi Zhengli, a virologist at the Wuhan lab who is known as “the batwoman” for her extensive research into bat-derived coronaviruses, told Scientific American in June that the miners had died from a fungal infection, “although it would have been only a matter of time before they caught the coronaviruses if the mine had not been promptly shut,” the magazine reported.

Source: NY Post

Looks like they found something they could blame on COVID and make it into the natural source of transmission from bats to humans. They gave it to the bat lady at the Wuhan lab to come to this conclusion.

Still, looking into the 2002 report of miners, but it looks like that was found in a cave. Need to find some connection with the victims and the cave, or mine.

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

Here we go, the bat cave from 2002.

After finding a particular cave in Yunnan, southwestern China, in which the strains of coronavirus looked similar to human versions, the researchers spent five years monitoring the bats that lived there, collecting fresh guano and taking anal swabs.

Although no single bat had the exact strain of SARS coronavirus that is found in humans, the analysis showed that the strains mix often. The human strain could have emerged from such mixing, says Kwok-Yung Yuen, a virologist at the University of Hong Kong who co-discovered the SARS virus: “The authors should be congratulated for confirming what has been suspected.”

They do add this question though.

Another outstanding question is how a virus from bats in Yunnan could travel to animals and humans around 1,000 kilometres away in Guangdong, without causing any suspected cases in Yunnan itself. That “has puzzled me a long time”, says Tu.

Source: Scientific American

Either that virus from Yunnan was not the same as Guangdong, or it was. There are like 35 species of horseshoe bats all over China and they all have corona viruses. Hard to say if it was or not but it wasn't long before Canadian scientists sequenced the genetic code the following spring in 2003. It does say they studied it for 5 years, bringing us to 2007, however, I don't have anything about that study in the timeline around that year.

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

I forgot about this one from November 2019 . . .

Nov. 18, 2019, shortly before the breakout, the institute put up a job posting[17] asking for postgraduate students to help study the coronavirus in humans and bats.

That’s not exactly out of the ordinary — but the description in the job posting is a little disturbing. It says that they were particularly interested in molecular mechanisms that let coronavirus lie dormant for a long time without symptoms.

Sound familiar? That’s one of the distinguishing traits of 2019-nCoV — the fact that people can go around without any apparent symptoms and still spread it.

Source: Listverse

That is a secondhand reference, but something I had read before but forgot to add to the timeline. It's a good article none the less and it supports much of the timeline information. It should go second from last in the 2019 year slot.

Great info. Saved to my PC. Thanks.

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

I've been thinking about how the COVID 01 SARS virus outbreak was first identified in Foshan, Guangdong, China, on 16 November 2002 and then around April of 2003 the SARS coronavirus was identified as the virus infecting humans in 2002, and finally in 2005 bat lady Shi Zhengli found that bats are the natural reservoir of SARS-like coronaviruses.

How did it take three years from 2002 for bat lady and friends to determine bats carried the corona virus when they supposedly knew that the year following the first outbreak? "Researchers" said it took them five years to identify the corona virus in bats. Is someone lying?

With the given information, that would give bat lady at best 4 months to find this particular cave, collect bats and their shit, find the virus, submit the virus samples to the main lab that then tested these samples to determine early in 2003 that corona is responsible for the SARS outbreak. She had to know the location of this cave and that bats from this cave had likely spread it to humans. They may even of had some cases from there as much as five years previously that were never reported after the later outbreak in Foshan.

On top of all this, in 2019, bat lady Shi Zhengli reported that one of the strains found in "that cave" (the location of which is a guarded secret) is almost identical to the 2019-nCoV coronavirus. This of course is in conflict with the 2012 discovery of "a SARS-like coronavirus" that was the supposed origin of COVID 19.

Huh? What?

Or it could be inaccurate sources screwing up the time line.

I felt that way cleaning the hen house and chicken coop, or a mouse nest from the storage shed.

The bat poop was coated in a fungus and that fungus is what gave the workers the lung infection. The bat lady later discovered corona virus in the bat poop and claimed that if they didn't have it they eventually would get it. So the 3 workers who died from this technically didn't die of COVID or SARS but a fungal lung infection, and yet somehow the other 3 who lived had the virus in their bodies that then mutated into the COVID 19 strain that caused the pandemic.

As convoluted as this story is, if true that would push the official start of the COVID 19 pandemic back to April of 2012. Somehow I can't swallow this one.

I don't think I trust what bat lady says, The Chicoms have got a pretty good grip on her.

PS: I found out it was a copper mine this supposedly happened in.

Huh?    What?

Or it could be inaccurate sources screwing up the time line.

I might be able to resolve this timeline issue with the following theory. Bat lady and "researchers" were working with wild bat populations, some located in a cave in or near Foshan, for at least five years prior to the 2002 SARS outbreak. Just around the 2002 outbreak, they would have known the basic types of diseases and virus that are carried by horseshoe bats. That however contradicts the 2005 bat lady report that stated that horseshoe bats are the natural source of SARS corona virus.

Assuming that last point is in error, it is possible they had a collection of ready samples to compare with what was found in the first SARS patients. That would make it possible for the labs to get their samples to play with early in 2003.

So I need to find out what lab (or labs) made this five year bat study, when it was or at least when the bat studies in China first began. Then I must verify or dismiss the 2005 report making the connection with the virus and the bats. Once I get the original source information it should resolve the timeline issue, if not it may pose other questions that lead in other directions.

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

I've found a reference to the 5 year research period, it supposedly started in 2002, likely right after the November outbreak. They found corona virus elements from different viral strains that matched the SARS virus that infected humans in 2002. They didn't find the exact virus, but the different viral parts were spread though out the samples leading them to believe that it came from that bat population. I'm just not sure if that conclusion was made in 2007 or in 2017 when that particular article in Scientific American was published.

I'm going to have to say that the 2005 timeline entry, "Shi Zhengli and colleagues found that bats are the natural reservoir of SARS-like coronaviruses" from Wikipedia is incorrect and should be in 2007. In 2008, bat lady was doing gain of function studies on the virus they believed had caused the original infection, which is strange if they already had samples that had infected people as there would be no need to make them infect human tissues.

It's seems that China's scientists had little interest in bats when the first joint US/China research into bats occurred in 1988. After a later joint project occurred in 1990, China's bat research started taking off. It is interesting to note that the Wuhan Institute begin in 1958 studying agricultural microbiology and viruses. Then it began to include human virology research in 2002, the same year that SARS cropped up. Then in 2003, China built it's first biosafety level 4 lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The institute then went on to specialized in human pathogens over the years since.

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

After reviewing the timeline and my last few posts, I'm forming a "most likely" theory of how this all may have gone down. This is strictly conjecture based on the timeline and some other loose information.

Given that there was an international treaty banning biological weapons research that China signed in 1985, it is obvious that bio-weapons technology was a growing concern among developed nations at that time.

The joint bat research done in 1988 was primarily concerned with bat numbers and health, including bat diseases like rabies that also posed a threat to humans. So it is certain that Chinese bat diseases were being studied since as early as the late 80s and had been studied for as much as 24 years (if not more) before the 2002 SARS outbreak.

The human corona virus, the cause of the common cold, was first discovered in mid 1960s. So for over 30 years scientists had known of and had studied the human corona virus before this huge reservoir of similar but novel corona viruses were found in Chinese bats around the beginning of the 2000s. Apparently because the common cold had mild symptoms and the majority of people could treat it at home, there wasn't a whole lot of research done on corona viruses until the 2002 outbreak. I would venture to say that they knew enough about the human corona virus to know that this similar bat corona virus was the perfect framework for engineering a deadly human pathogen.

If the initial outbreak wasn't a natural occurence, then the 2002 Chinese SARS outbreak may have been due to early gain of function studies in labs at less than biosafety level 4. After one of these altered varieties of bat corona viruses caused the outbreak, they built a lab in 2003 capable of handling the developing line of novel chimeric corona viruses.

After they discovered the natural bat corona viruses around 2002, they had at least 17 years to add bits and pieces of other human viruses to the bat virus in these gain of function studies. From other studies and evidence not placed in the timeline, it appears that the GOF studies were to create a corona virus that would not only attack the human respiratory system, but have the added functions of airborne transmission, ability to attack the human immune system and to remain dormant while spreading.

Given the track record of high level bio-lab accidents since 2000, it is reasonable to believe that one or more of these chimeric novel corona viruses escaped sometime in the fall of 2019 to create the current pandemic.

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

For some reason I hadn't included the MERS outbreak in 2012. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome is a corona virus similar to the SARS virus respiratory symptoms but less contagious, more deadly and can cause kidney failure.

Health officials first reported the disease in Saudi Arabia in September 2012. Through retrospective (backward-looking) investigations, they later identified that the first known cases of MERS occurred in Jordan in April 2012. So far, all cases of MERS have been linked through travel to, or residence in, countries in and near the Arabian Peninsula

Source: CDC

There are a number of reports that claim there was genetic evidence that elements from MERS and HIV were inserted into the COVID 19 virus, giving it the desired added functions described in the post I made before this one. Being more in the realm of conspiracy theory and after the start of the pandemic, it wasn't included in the timeline. I'll be adding that post soon.

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

Here are some articles that claim COVID19 is a man made engineered virus. Articles like these with these sort of statements from scientists all over the world are being retracted and censored. This research with these kind of conclusions is being ridiculed and silenced

One of the tools used to accomplish this genetic engineering is called pShuttle. It’s a genetic tool set that can carry a payload of genes to be inserted into the target virus.

Researchers engaged in genetic engineering can purchase the pShuttle sequence from online retailers such as AddGenes.org, which sells the sequence for $75, shipped in “bacteria as agar stab.”

During this process, of course, the pShuttle leaves behind unique code, a “fingerprint” of the genetic modification. It is this fingerprint that has now been identified in the coronavirus.

As revealed by genomics researcher James Lyons-Weiler in this bombshell analysis article, the pShuttle genetic code is found in the coronavirus that’s circulating in the wild.

This is proof that the virus has been engineered by human scientists.

Source: Your News

So it was engineered, but what was inserted?

The coronavirus is more likely than SARS to bond to human cells due to an HIV-like mutation, according to new research.
The research by scientists in China and Europe was detailed in a Thursday report by the South China Morning Post.
The scientists found the virus' HIV-like mutation means the coronavirus' ability to bind with human cells could be up to 1,000 times as strong as the SARS virus.
"This finding suggests that 2019-nCoV [the new coronavirus] may be significantly different from the SARS coronavirus in the infection pathway," the scientists said in a paper published this month.

"This virus may use the packing mechanisms of other viruses such as HIV."

And this one, I like this one. I just found it and it's got all the answers we're looking for.

In vaccine development, reverse genetics is used to create viral strains that have reduced pathogenicity but to which the immune system responds by creating antibodies against the virus. But reverse genetics can also be used to create viral strains that have increased pathogenicity.  That is what Dr. Shi, encouraged by PLA bioweapons experts, began increasingly to focus her research on, according to Prof. Tritto.

Dr. Shi first solicited help from the French government, which built the P4 lab, and from the country’s Pasteur institute, which showed her how to manipulate HIV genomes. The gene insertion method used is called “reverse genetics system 2.”  Using this method, she inserted an HIV segment into a coronavirus discovered in horseshoe bats to make it more infectious and lethal.

The U.S. was involved as well, particularly Prof Ralph S. Baric, of the University of North Carolina, who was on the receiving end of major grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.  This is, of course, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s shop.  Fauci was a big proponent of “gain of function” research, and when this was prohibited at Baric’s lab because it was considered to be too dangerous, the research was shifted to China.

Prof. Tritto believes that, while Dr. Shi’s research began as an effort to develop a vaccine against SARS, it gradually morphed into an effort to use “reverse genetics” to build lethal biological weapons.  This was the reason that the Wuhan lab became China’s leading center for virology research in recent years, attracting major funding and support from the central government.

Then there is this one. Retracted from the Western Journal.

According to research performed by Montagnier, a Nobel Prize winner, and his mathematician partner Jean-Claude Perez, SARS-CoV-2 contains sequences of the human immunodeficiency virus — HIV.

We should all remember Luc Montagnier,

"a French virologist and joint recipient, with Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Harald zur Hausen, of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).[4] He has worked as a researcher at the Pasteur Institute in Paris and as a full-time professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.[5] " Source: Wikipedia

He was their HIV golden boy at the time, neck deep in the HIV epidemic. I'm very confident that HIV was a U.S. bio-weapon developed by 1978 or 1979 and Montagier was the go to scientist doing the HIV is AIDS research in the early 1980s.
