Retro-engineering was applied to make the Chinese Virus seem like it naturally arose from bats, British and Norwegian researchers claim in a new study (www.dailymail.co.uk)

Blame the non-humans, they can't defend themselves and reee about "racism".

To hell with the chinks, hope they get eaten by their own super-rats.

Yeah, check out the news, people. There's a new bad-boy in town that blows CRISPR away; it can made thousands of edits at once, without cutting the DNA, apparently.

Yep, someone is going to pull a Rats of NIMH eventually. Looking forward to it. Because I live in Alberta, see. ;)

Blame the faggots aka sheeo.

States lifted the mandates in unison and they STILL act the same.

I saw a Steve Wallis Stealth Camping video on YouTube where he spent the night in an abandoned gas station and mentioned he wasn't worried because there are no rats in Alberta.

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around it. There's nothing unique about Alberta's geography other than the Continental Divide to the west with BC.

Why would Alberta be rat-free compared to its neighbours it shares a border with like Saskatchewan or Montana?

Because of how utterly FAST Alberta was settled. Like, in one summer. 1881. Whites got here before the rats realized what was happening, and were able to set up defences.

Or so the official story goes. I do believe there are rats on the fringes (ie, Hinton), which is to be expected, but there is an honest-to-god Rat Patrol that, by law, has to be called if rats are spotted or even suspected. And pet rats are banned. You can have degu, because they're just short-haired chinchillas, but rats? No way no how. Pet mice? Sure. Tons of mice in the province, and this is why you want a cat ....

That being said, any population of rats existing here would have to be VERY smart and clever to stay out of sight.

National Post link

This National Post story implies rats didn't infest far enough inland until the 1950s after being introduced from Europe on the East Coast in the 1800s.

The whole idea of a government-sanctioned Rat Patrol of armed men patrolling hundreds of kms of border hunting rats is a weird image I've never heard of before, but seems to be effective.

I'm still skeptical that such a strategy could truly keep a province rat-free, but I also don't have any data to counter the claims.

Well, every time any ARE spotted, the incident makes the regional/provincial news. And usually if there's a photo, it's pretty obvious the poor critters are domesticated rats that some smart-ass likely brought in and let loose. I figure it happens when someone brings pets in from another province, finds out that they can get into trouble, and then let loose because they're just fucking stupid.

That being said, something chewed through one of those big Rubbermaid containers the ex and I had in the trunk of the car when we were up in Hinton, and the only thing that comes to mind that would want to do that is a rat .. there wasn't even any food in it, it was just for raingear and other emergency shit.

Wait, the bioengineered virus theory was right all along?

I'm gonna guess those researchers come down with a terrible case of the suicides.

If the Chinese were going to engineer a bio-weapon and deliberately release it into the world, they would have made it a lot more deadly.

If Covid did come from a lab, it was an experiment, released accidentally, and the Chinese simply took advantage, trusting Western media and governments to do what they do best, and whip up a mass hysteria over nothing in order to make money and expand their own power.

I'm no fan of China, but in this instance, they're just a distraction. The real villains are our own governments, and we can't let them use the Chinese as a scapegoat to avoid accountability.

hypothetically, it got out before completion.

Or they were looking for something mild to make the HK protesters go home.

This is the most likely scenario. It was a research thing in the hands of Chinese incompetent neglect.

Not if you want a bio weapon for economic warfare. I worked at the DOD 20 years ago around people who thought up such ideas. And thought it would be a good thing. (These were the same folks who provided Saddam with his bio & chemical weapons in the 80’s so...)

On paper what you want is something that spreads fast, can overwhelm medical systems, but not deadly enough to cause nukes to fly in retaliation. This COVID thing fits that bill.

Now whether it was created as such i don’t know, but it was certainly used as such by China.

This is not the first time that someone has claimed to have found a smoking gun proving COVID was engineered. Like last time, I'd want some independent confirmation - which I assume isn't going to be too hard if they tell people with the knowhow to look where to look. I'd also want to know if they're pointing to the same traits as the previous researchers.

It's a western funded, government collaborated project. Like all their shitty cheap toys, these greedy fucking governments had their pet bioweapons research done in China.

Making a lab mistake isn’t a crime against humanity.

Covering it up/deleting databases - when you should have been assisting after the leak though....
