Banking on COVID-19

July 30, 2020, the National Law Review (NLR) published an article entitled, "Coronavirus Innovation Guideposts on the Eve of the COVID-19 Pandemic" where they documented applications for patents pertaining to "all things" COVID-19, e.g. "innovations related to the prevention, treatment, diagnosis, protection from or alleviation of symptoms of COVID-19". 

It appears the greatest number of applications were submitted in 2019, the year before the world was officially notified by the WHO and the Chinese communist government that the virus had jumped species and was inadvertently released by the Wuhan Lab.

The news seemingly came as a surprise to the United States, even though the National Institute of Health (NIH), Fauci's employer, was funding the gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Lab, which was enhancing the pathogenicity/transmissibility of the virus; a fancy way of saying helping the virus to infect humans. 

On April 7, 2020, White House Coronavirus Task Force Coordinator, Dr. Deborah Birx, had trouble getting the words out when trying to explain how and why the United States was calculating COVID deaths differently from the rest of the world, making any comparisons impossible. She later estimated that the total number of COVID deaths in the United States were inflated by 25%.

It seems the CDC made a decision to count every death as a "COVID death" if the patient was COVID "positive" at the time of death. Didn't matter if the patient was sick or not. The explanation floating around was that because COVID pays more, the additional reimbursement could be used by our healthcare infrastructure to shore up their resources (staffing, ICU rooms, respirators, ventilators, etc.) to handle the influx of COVID patients, for which they were unprepared.

Unprepared, in spite of the fact that the governors of each state were told to expect a coronavirus pandemic and what it was going to take to handle their respective populations two years before it happened. The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation reminded them, yet again, during a mock-up of the pandemic they called Event 201 the previous fall. Of course, it was supposedly all theoretical. (Well, not to Bill Gates who started talking about it in 2018 but that's another story.)

Interestingly, the states that were least prepared (by choice), were quick to blame the federal government for the lack of critical staffing and supplies, even though 100% of the responsibility is/was theirs. They knew. And yet they now want the federal government, i.e. taxpayers, to help offset their losses due to their own poor planning (or lack of caring). Hence, the "it's Trump's fault," rhetoric.

So to regroup, let's say a man dies from injuries sustained in a car accident. He is counted as a "COVID death" if he tested positive for COVID when admitted to the ER. He then becomes a COVID death. In the beginning, even the presumption of COVID, i.e. the patient looked like s/he might have it, was enough, because the test kits the CDC handed out didn't work.

Because the CDC test kits didn't work, new test kits, approved by the FDA for emergency use, appeared on the market literally overnight. "Since the declaration of a public health emergency on February 4, 2020, the FDA authorized the emergency use of about one hundred (100) SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID–19) molecular diagnostic tests for use under certain conditions; thirty-seven (37) molecular laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) for detection of SARS-CoV-2 that meet specified criteria for eligibility under the umbrella emergency use authorization; two (2) antigen diagnostic tests; twenty-five (25) serology/antibody tests. . ."

Unfortunately, these new test kits, themselves, were never tested and are pumping out an alarming number of false positives. And it is these grossly inflated numbers that were and are being used to provide justification for closing our businesses and forcing us indoors. So, yeah. That happened.

Then, mid June of this year, 54 NIH scientists either resigned or were fired from the NIH for failing to disclose their relationship to the Chinese government. Trump found out and put a stop to the funding of the Wuhan Lab. From that point forward, Fauci was noticeably absent from the White House press conferences, pretending to be mystified when Congress asked him why. He "didn't know why". Indeed.

COVID-19 is shaping up to be like those reality shows we see on TV where a woman doesn't know she is pregnant until she goes into labor, only their stories are far more believable. 

Bottom line: The would-be money makers knew a pandemic was coming. As it turns out, they were banking on it, as the following article demonstrates.

Think this kind of thing can't happen? Well, it did.
