It was ten years ago when microbiologist Ralph Baric told Tony Fauci and the world he would make coronaviruses more lethal. Then - with Fauci's backing - he did.
Baric worked hand-in-glove with the lab in Wuhan from which Sars-Cov-2 likely leaked. He also insisted the government keep its rules on coronaviruses loose so he could tinker with them more easily.
-- Dr. Peter McCullough
"In the discussions to which this interest has given rise and in the arrangements by which they may terminate the occasion has been judged proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers. "
