The Virus That Shook The World - New Documentary Tonight

Tue Jan 19, 2021 7:44 am

During this new documentary which will air tonight we see an undercover medic admitting to hiding the truth about the Coronavirus from the start. It's reported that some scientists were researching and got bit by an infectious bat.

Its remarkable how the Chinese have kept the secret of the birth of Covid-19 for all this time but 1 way or another the truth will be revealed and the Chinese will not get away with infecting the world.

And the first person to ever get infected from this virus is still missing today so it makes you think that something is not right about this whole situation.

Here Is A Video Link from the early days of the virus when the Chinese tried to cover it up: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/1 ... d-pandemic

Personally I think it’s a weapon that was released accidentally from the lab.

However once out (if a weapon or not) it was very difficult to contain.

If it isn’t a weapon or man made I can’t see how China can get the blame really.

There is ALOT that China is hiding I can guarantee that.

The New Documentary Is On ITV At 9pm

The way it’s mutating is scary.

a weapon that kills such a small proportion of people . the majority of whom are very old and very weak.... ?

Spreads quickly. Makes people ill. Takes up a lot of hospital capacity. Kills people.

This wasn’t meant to be released unless at war.

It spreads before symptoms show if symptoms show.

Imagine a situation where there is a world war and this gets spread amongst America and Europe. It would have a significant effect on the war effort.

come on mate.... the vast majority { 80 % } do not get ill or get it mildly especially those of fighting age where the percentage of asymptomatic or very mild is even higher.... its not the spanish flu , which btw was around at the same time as a war.... you know this...as does everyone but for some reason choose an alternative version...

Look at the fear it has spread. Can’t deny hospital admissions are through the roof and that’s with lockdown.

It was designed to be released during a war with China.

Just my opinion.

Where are the stats about 80% don’t get symptoms from?

where are the stats...everywhere....but it seems the majority would ignore even if boris personally knocked their door and screamed it at them.. what exactly do you think is happening with these covid outbreaks at football clubs....they turn up and test them after training and some are positive.... you know this...its just a wind up ?
and yes ,that is the lockdown theory our government along with others are following.... but there are plenty of studies from equally good and respected bodies that suggest the opposite.... and yes our hospitals are full...what do you consider through the roof ? 10% more. 20% more.. 50 % .?

I’m not just talking hospital admissions in this country.

It’s a perfect weapon. I think it was in that lab and got out into that wet market. Which got transmitted to humans which then spread.

My imagination is being supplemented by the facts. How do facts show it’s not a weapon.

The ideal weapon doesn’t kill everyone necessarily it stops people from working.

In the Second World War bombing campaigns didn’t want to cause mass death necessarily they wanted to stop production. Imagine a virus spreading through the population hospitalising people, making people worried about catching it.

It’s doing that now in peacetime imagine it during a war.

In fact if it killed more it wouldn’t spread so well as has been specified consistently throughout the pandemic.

its not killing or making seriously ill anywhere near enough people to be a weapon... it is putting pressure on our NHS... and is killing more than die in a normal year ..but i think a war in itself might put more pressure on the NHS...

1 in 8 have had it. This was with us locking down for a significant amount of time. Imagine had we not done that?

Have you seen the figures from America?

yes mate they have had slightly less deaths per million population than our selves.... more cases per million and more asymptomatic cases per million......
and yes ive imagine us being in a better place....there is zero evidence lock downs work.,..zero...but i think its another one you know but do nor accept

Gotta agree with Skidemin here, if it’s a weapon it’s a shit one. Biological and Chemical weapons have been used for over 100 years in warfare, at this stage they can be fine tuned for maximum disaster. Natural diseases like Smallpox and Ebola are already more dangerous than Covid with zero genetic modification. As for releasing it as a form of an attack you’d be much better releasing something that spreads rapidly but kills quickly, otherwise you run the risk of it ending up on your own shores.
Secondly, if it came from a lab creating bioweapons it would make no sense doing so in a lab in a massive urban population centre. On the border with Mongolia or the Gobi desert or in the jungles would all be much safer and more secretive.

If it turns out it originated from a lab environment I think a more likely case is poor security measures in cleaning and disposing of samples. Whether we ever know the truth is another matter entirely.

Got any articles to back that up? Not being an arse I genuinely love reading about people’s thoughts. There are plenty who say it’s the best way to fight it.

I mean it’s how Australia and NZ almost eradicated it.

How is not the ideal weapon?

The way it spreads so easily even when not symptomatic, mutates, kills, gives significant lung issues for survivors. Takes up hospital capacity.

It also has plausible deniability.

Perfect weapon.

In a wartime scenario it’s ineffective in the sense the vast majority of fighting age and working age people escape unscathed. The way it spreads as well means if you release it one country it can very easily reach you and your allies.
Several things would make it a much more viable weapon. Airborne, higher lethality, shorter life span, etc. Think of things like Anthrax, Ebola, Plague strains.

Absolutely true anthrax is deadly. But not easy to weaponise. Ebola easier to control.

It’s not about affecting the troops but affecting what goes on at home.

It’s referenced in the art of war.

Biological and Chemical weapons have been used for over 100 years in warfare, at this stage they can be fine tuned for maximum disaster. Natural diseases like Smallpox and Ebola are already more dangerous than Covid with zero genetic modification. As for releasing it as a form of an attack you’d be much better releasing something that spreads rapidly but kills quickly, otherwise you run the risk of it ending up on your own shores.
Secondly, if it came from a lab creating bioweapons it would make no sense doing so in a lab in a massive urban population centre. On the border with Mongolia or the Gobi desert or in the jungles would all be much safer and more secretive.

If it turns out it originated from a lab environment I think a more likely case is poor security measures in cleaning and disposing of samples. Whether we ever know the truth is another matter entirely.


How is not the ideal weapon?

The way it spreads so easily even when not symptomatic, mutates, kills, gives significant lung issues for survivors. Takes up hospital capacity.

It also has plausible deniability.

Perfect weapon.


In a wartime scenario it’s ineffective in the sense the vast majority of fighting age and working age people escape unscathed. The way it spreads as well means if you release it one country it can very easily reach you and your allies.
Several things would make it a much more viable weapon. Airborne, higher lethality, shorter life span, etc. Think of things like Anthrax, Ebola, Plague strains.


Absolutely true anthrax is deadly. But not easy to weaponise. Ebola easier to control.

It’s not about affecting the troops but affecting what goes on at home.

It’s referenced in the art of war.



indeed..at home...production has stopped...food rationing. .our transportation system has come to a halt.... :?


You say it like there has been no impact to the country.

sorry...yes there has been but most of it has been through government restrictions not people actually being ill...
im not comparing covid to the flu as regards deaths or hospitalisation.... but only re illness which would therefore restrict our infrastructure .... we have had 3.5 million people of all ages test positive covid.{ not necessarily be ill } ....during a normal year we have 4 million people of working age actually to ill to go to work because of flu....those figures are very similar across western europe... German doctors actually gave out over 5 million sickness notes in 2018 while seeing / attending 10 million victims ...
