SARS-CoV-2—bioweapon or pandemic?

The Black Death, which killed 200 million people in Africa, Asia, and Europe from 1346 to 1353, originated in China.

Thu Dao, a Hanoi-based journalist and content manager and strategist at Foreign Affairs Newsdesk in Tuoi Tre in Indo-Pacific Center for Strategic Communications, writes that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, also known as COVID-19, is disputed as a natural or man-made disaster (IPCSC). Chinese biotechnology may be unethical and dangerous.

According to IPCSC, China has produced biological weapons like weaponized ricin, botulinum toxins, and anthrax, cholera, plague, and tularaemia in violation of the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention, which makes the development, production, and stockpiling of bioweapons a war crime.

The Black Death, which killed 200 million people in Africa, Asia, and Europe from 1346 to 1353, originated in China. A year prior, China had started the 1918 “Spanish flu” pandemic, which killed 50 million people worldwide.

According to Thu, a December 14, 2022 report by Republicans on the US House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) found that China may have developed SARS-CoV-2 as a biological weapon. The committee found that China’s PLA’s Fifth Institute of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences (AMMS) has long worked with bio-weapons programmes and coronaviruses.

China declared in 2006 that the Fifth Institute researched SARS coronaviruses. Wuhan Institute of Virology and the Institute collaborate closely (WIV).

The PubMed database shows that Fifth Institute scientists have extensively published research on corona-viruses, including work with the WIV, suggesting a close integration of medical and military research. Both Beijing and Lingbao, Henan province, have biological weapons production facilities. COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, near the Lingbao plant. Thu said SARS-CoV-2 could be a biological weapon.

The PLA’s medical institutions like the Fifth Institute are now leading gene editing and other military medicine and biotechnology research.

According to IPCSC, Chinese military virologists stole dangerous viruses from wild animals or posed as co-researchers at National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, Canada.

The extensive Chinese virus collection was hidden offline or removed from international databases. COVID-19 data on Mojiang Miners, including lethal pneumonia, was suppressed and misrepresented as a fungal infection.

China leads in CRISPR gene-editing technology and human trials. According to IPCSC, China and Pakistan are conducting “Collaboration for Emerging Infectious Diseases and Studies Biological Control of Vector Transmitting Diseases” research at a Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) lab, where the most dangerous and infectious agents are tested and developed.A two-star General runs the DSTO in Chakala cantonment, Rawalpindi. This collaboration is to weaponize pathogens. China has outsourced a highly contagious network of laboratories in Pakistan that could produce antigens 100 times more infectious than Covid, according to intelligence and scientific experts.

Thu advised international organisations to monitor biological weapons development, production, and stockpiling.To prevent future pandemics like COVID-19, countries with offensive or defensive bio-weapons programmes should undergo safety inspections of their laboratories and facilities.
