Before January 2020 many of us, myself included, had never heard the term coronavirus.
I didn’t know that bat virus researchers were spelunking into caves around the world to try and find the next pandemic virus that could kill us all.
The more I read their predictions, the more they seemed like self-fulfilling prophecies, instead.
‘Let’s go into remote caves, capture bats, takes swabs from their tushies and see if they have any viruses in them.’
I mean, what possibly could go wrong?
Here’s a 2017 photo of researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology taking a bat swab from a horseshoe bat in China.
They literally were taking batsh*t swabs from the bats.
They took the samples back to their lab in Wuhan.
You may have heard of Wuhan by now.
This world’s pandemic mess could literally be from batsh*t.
Hence the name of my Substack.
But this is also a subscription-based email and, other than that my mother raised a lady, I don’t want to get my content filtered into spam boxes, so I’ve inserted the * into my Substack’s name. If you subscribe, which I hope you will, the email will come from “Batbleep Crazy,” again to keep you from missing it.
Many have been digging into this, and I hope to bring what they are finding to a wider audience.
I have no stake in the outcome.
I am not read into the classified files.
It’s possible, many answers are there, and, if so, I hope they are declassified soon. The world has enough secrets and the cause of the COVID-19 virus, need not be one of them.
Someone knows the truth. I’m convinced.
I won’t apologize for wanting to know this truth, for digging for it, and for not being afraid to ask the questions or tease out the possibilities hinted at by those who may not be as free, or free at all, to speak.
Like many around the world, I would just like to know the truth, and I would like to see a lot more transparency around the effort to uncover it.
I will be horrified if it turns out the U.S. Government helped to fund or create, and then subsequently covered up the funding or origins of this pandemic virus. Yet, I am open to that possibility.
I will be horrified if Chinese laboratories released this pandemic, accidently or on purpose, and covered up that fact. Yet, I am open to that possibility.
I will not be surprised if it turns out that, like the anthrax release in the United States, the origins lie in a lone-wolf actor, someone who (correctly) determined the importance of his or her coronavirus work, prestige, and yes, funding would increase, if we just had ourselves one little pandemic coronavirus. I am open to that possibility.
I will not be surprised, if it turns out a “humanized” lab mouse has some connection to the virus spilling over. I plan to write about this more. There is so much about this mouse implanted with a human immune system that seems important.
If it turns out some animal in China or elsewhere, spilled a virus out into the world or onto a researcher, I’m open to that, too.
If it turns out a lab mouse, lab monkey, lab ferret, or lab tree shrew bit a researcher and we got the COVID-19 virus, well, that would be really easy to explain (and believe).
If it is some combination of any or all of the above, I’m open to that possibility, too.
The name isn’t any crazier than the subject matter.
I invite you to join me as I explore what will be history’s footnotes, and maybe see if we can’t write some of our own.
I do hope you'll keep writing.
Do you have any insight into white nose syndrome in North American bats? Since the rats have been swabbing bats for years, I cannot help but think the WNS isn't spelunkers from Europe not changing their shoes but more like stoopid researchers who couldn't care less what havoc they cause in what they believe are lesser creatures.
