The
Western media quickly took the stage and laid out the official
narrative for the outbreak of the new coronavirus which appeared to have
begun in China, claiming it to have originated with animals at a wet
market in Wuhan.
In fact the origin was for a long time unknown
but it appears likely now, according to Chinese and Japanese reports,
that the virus originated elsewhere, from multiple locations, but began
to spread widely only after being introduced to the market.
More
to the point, it appears that the virus did not originate in China and,
according to reports in Japanese and other media, may have originated in
the US.
Chinese Researchers Conclude the Virus Originated Outside of China
After
collecting samples of the genome in China, medical researchers first
conclusively demonstrated that the virus did not originate at the
seafood market but had multiple unidentified sources, after which it was
exposed to the seafood market from where it spread everywhere. (1) (2)
(3)
According to the Global Times:
A new study by Chinese
researchers indicates the novel coronavirus may have begun
human-to-human transmission in late November from a place other than the
Huanan seafood market in Wuhan.
The study published on ChinaXiv,
a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers, reveals the new
coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another
location(s), and then spread rapidly from the market due to the large
number of close contacts. The findings were the result of analyses of
the genome data, sources of infection, and the route of spread of
variations of the novel coronavirus collected throughout China.
The
study believes that patient(s) zero transmitted the virus to workers or
sellers at the Huanan seafood market, the crowded market easily
facilitating further transmission of the virus to buyers, which caused a
wider spread in early December 2019. (Global Times, February 22, 2020,
emphasis added (2)
Chinese medical authorities – and
“intelligence agencies” – then conducted a rapid and wide-ranging search
for the origin of the virus, collecting nearly 100 samples of the
genome from 12 different countries on 4 continents, identifying all the
varieties and mutations. During this research, they determined the virus
outbreak had begun much earlier, probably in November, shortly after
the Wuhan Military Games.
They then came to the same independent
conclusions as the Japanese researchers – that the virus did not begin
in China but was introduced there from the outside.
China’s top respiratory specialist Zhong Nanshan said on January 27
“Though the COVID-19 was first discovered in China, it does not mean that it originated from China”
“But that is Chinese for “it originated someplace else, in another country”. (4)
This
of course raises questions as to the actual location of origin. If the
authorities pursued their analysis through 100 genome samples from 12
countries, they must have had a compelling reason to be searching for
the original source outside China. This would explain why there was such
difficulty in locating and identifying a ‘patient zero’.
Japan’s Media: The Coronavirus May Have Originated in the US
In
February of 2020, the Japanese Asahi news report (print and TV) claimed
the coronavirus originated in the US, not in China, and that some (or
many) of the 14,000 American deaths attributed to influenza may have in
fact have resulted from the coronavirus. (5)
A report
from a Japanese TV station disclosing a suspicion that some of those
Americans may have unknowningly contracted the coronavirus has gone
viral on Chinese social media, stoking fears and speculations in China
that the novel coronavirus may have originated in the US.
The
report, by TV Asahi Corporation of Japan, suggested that the US
government may have failed to grasp how rampant the virus has gone on US
soil.
However, it is unknown whether Americans who have already
died of the influenza had contracted the coronavirus, as reported by TV
Asahi. (People’s Daily, English, February 23, 2020, emphasis added)
On
February 14, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
said they will begin to test individuals with influenza-like-illness for
the novel coronavirus at public health labs in Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and New York City.
The TV Asahi
network presented scientific documentation for their claims, raising the
issue that no one would know the cause of death because the US either
neglected to test or failed to release the results. Japan avoided the
questions of natural vs. man-made and accidental vs. deliberate, simply
stating that the virus outbreak may first have occurred in the US. The
Western Internet appears to have been scrubbed of this information, but
the Chinese media still reference it.
These claims stirred up a
hornet’s nest not only in Japan but in China, immediately going viral on
Chinese social media, especially since the Military World Games were
held in Wuhan in October, and it had already been widely discussed that
the virus could have been transmitted at that time – from a foreign
source.
“Perhaps the US delegates brought the coronavirus to
Wuhan, and some mutation occurred to the virus, making it more deadly
and contagious, and causing a widespread outbreak this year.” (People’s
Daily, February 23, 2020) (1)
Shen Yi, an international relations
professor at Shanghai’s Fudan University, stated that global
virologists “including the intelligence agencies” were tracking the
origin of the virus.
Also of interest, the Chinese government did not shut the door on this. The news report stated:
“Netizens are encouraged to actively partake in discussions, but preferably in a rational fashion.”
In
China, that is meaningful. If the reports were rubbish, the government
would clearly state that, and tell people to not spread false rumors.
Taiwan Virologist Suggests the Coronavirus Originated in the US
Then,
Taiwan ran a TV news program on February,27,(click here to access video
(Chinese), that presented diagrams and flow charts suggesting the
coronavirus originated in the US. (6)
Below is a rough translation, summary and analysis of selected content of that newscast. (see map below)
The
man in the video is a top virologist and pharmacologist who performed a
long and detailed search for the source of the virus. He spends the
first part of the video explaining the various haplotypes (varieties, if
you will), and explains how they are related to each other, how one
must have come before another, and how one type derived from another. He
explains this is merely elementary science and nothing to do with
geopolitical issues, describing how, just as with numbers in order, 3
must always follow 2.

One of
his main points is that the type infecting Taiwan exists only in
Australia and the US and, since Taiwan was not infected by Australians,
the infection in Taiwan could have come only from the US.
The
basic logic is that the geographical location with the greatest
diversity of virus strains must be the original source because a single
strain cannot emerge from nothing. He demonstrated that only the US has
all the five known strains of the virus (while Wuhan and most of China
have only one, as do Taiwan and South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam,
Singapore, and England, Belgium and Germany), constituting a thesis that
the haplotypes in other nations may have originated in the US.
Korea
and Taiwan have a different haplotype of the virus than China, perhaps
more infective but much less deadly, which would account for a death
rate only 1/3 that of China.
Neither Iran nor Italy were included
in the above tests, but both countries have now deciphered the locally
prevalent genome and have declared them of different varieties from
those in China, which means they did not originate in China but were of
necessity introduced from another source. It is worth noting that the
variety in Italy has approximately the same fatality rate as that of
China, three times as great as other nations, while the haplotype in
Iran appears to be the deadliest with a fatality rate of between 10% and
25%. (7) (
(9)
Due
to the enormous amount of Western media coverage focused on China, much
of the world believes the coronavirus spread to all other nations from
China, but this now appears to have been proven wrong. With about 50
nations scattered throughout the world having identified at least one
case at the time of writing, it would be very interesting to examine
virus samples from each of those nations to determine their location of
origin and the worldwide sources and patterns of spread.
The
Virologist further stated that the US has recently had more than 200
“pulmonary fibrosis” cases that resulted in death due to patients’
inability to breathe, but whose conditions and symptoms could not be
explained by pulmonary fibrosis. He said he wrote articles informing the
US health authorities to consider seriously those deaths as resulting
from the coronavirus, but they responded by blaming the deaths on
e-cigarettes, then silenced further discussion. …
The Taiwanese doctor then stated the virus outbreak began earlier than assumed, saying, “We must look to September of 2019”.
He
stated the case in September of 2019 where some Japanese traveled to
Hawaii and returned home infected, people who had never been to China.
This was two months prior to the infections in China and just after the
CDC suddenly and totally shut down the Fort Detrick bio-weapons lab
claiming the facilities were insufficient to prevent loss of pathogens.
(10) (11)
He said he personally investigated those cases very
carefully (as did the Japanese virologists who came to the same
conclusion).. This might indicate the coronavirus had already spread in
the US but where the symptoms were being officially attributed to other
diseases, and thus possibly masked.
The prominent Chinese news
website Huanqiu related one case in the US where a woman’s relative was
told by physicians he died of the flu, but where the death certificate
listed the coronavirus as the cause of death. On February 26, ABC News
affiliate KJCT8 News Network reported that a woman recently told the
media that her sister died on from coronavirus infection. Montrose,
Colorado resident Almeta Stone said, “They (the medical staff) kept us
informed that it was the flu, and when I got the death certificate,
there was a coronavirus in the cause of death.” (12)
We cannot
ascertain the number of such cases in the US but since the CDC
apparently has no reliable test kits and is conducting little or no
testing for the virus, there may be others.

Just for information
In the past two years (during the trade war) China has suffered several pandemics:
February
15, 2018: H7N4 bird flu. Sickened at least 1,600 people in China and
killed more than 600. Many chickens killed. China needs to purchase US
poultry products.
June, 2018: H7N9 bird flu. Many chickens killed. China needs to purchase US poultry products.
August,
2018: outbreak of African swine flu. Same strain as Russia, from
Georgia. Millions of pigs killed. China needs to purchase US pork
products.
May 24, 2019: massive infestation of armyworms in 14
province-level regions in China, which destroy most food crops. Quickly
spread to more than 8,500 hectares of China’s grain production. They
produce astonishing numbers of eggs. China needs to purchase US
agricultural products – corn, soybeans.
December, 2019: Coronavirus appearance puts China’s economy on hold.
January,
2020: China is hit by a “highly pathogenic” strain of bird flu in Hunan
province. Many chickens died, many others killed. China needs to
purchase US poultry products.
The standard adage is that bad luck happens in threes, not sixes.
