The Wuhan Nexus: Part II – Genesis

Patient “Zero”

The genesis of a pandemic most certainly rests with a “Patient Zero.” Again, utilizing very basic logic functions, one could conclude that there was an exact moment in time whereby the COVID-19 virus made the evolutionary jump from “bat” to human, the rest being history.

However, what was widely reported by Chinese state media was that the virus achieved animal to human transmission by way of human consumption of an infected “bat” sold in an obscure “Wet Market.” The assumption could be made that “Patient Zero” was an unassuming customer; who, through the course of an instantaneous viral mutation, contracted the human version of the virus.

From this point forward, logic following the Chinese narrative collapses.

In reality, there was no “patient zero,” rather there was a cluster of patients who, in a matter of days, arrived in Wuhan emergency rooms. These patients appeared to have achieved the same specific set of circumstances, consumed the same infected “bat,” and achieved the same extraordinary viral mutation resulting in COVID-19 illness.

Results of contact tracing (a discipline that the Chinese are very well versed in, following previous SARS and avian flu pandemics) did not produce a clear vector of transmission beyond the wet market. The virus simply appeared and ravaged Wuhan province with a clear epicenter: The Wuhan Institute of Virology.

You as the reader are now posed with two possible scenarios:

1. That COVID-19 mutated into animal to human transmission, naturally. That said mutation achieved widespread infection in a matter of a few months and was a direct result of the sale of “Bats” in a Chinese wet market in Wuhan.

OR

2. That COVID-19 was, at the very least, studied in China’s premier Viral laboratory (WIV) located in Wuhan. That COVID-19 leaked out of a facility that is internationally accredited for infectious disease research. That the virus was contracted by a researcher or researchers, who subsequently infected those they came into contact, resulting in a global pandemic.

Which scenario, objectively, is the most probable? If you’re still on the fence, let us examine a few more “minor” details.
