"New Data Links [Covid-19] Pandemic’s Origins to Raccoon Dogs at Wuhan Market"

"An international team of virus experts said on Thursday that they had found genetic data from a market in Wuhan, China, linking the coronavirus with raccoon dogs for sale there, adding evidence to the case that the worst pandemic in a century could have been ignited by an infected animal that was being dealt through the illegal wildlife trade." (New York Times news article)

"It’s a sin not to wear a mask or get [covid-19] vaccinated." - John Pavlovitz, the Moses of our times, to whom God speaks directly. Because how else could John Pavlovitz tell us about additional sins that need to get added to God's list of human sins, unless God spoke to him?

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon" offended me, but apparently some thought it was "funny" so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My piece and words are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

And in another amazing coincidence of Life imitating a Tabletop Simulation, Monkeypox arrives on the scene.

The people orchestrating these Tabletop Simulations should play the Lottery, because they are now two for two in prescience:

Monkeypox Tabletop Simulation

Summary:

"In March 2021, NTI partnered with the Munich Security Conference to conduct a tabletop exercise on reducing high-consequence biological threats." Exercise Summary: "the fictional exercise scenario portrayed a deadly, global pandemic involving an unusual strain of monkeypox virus that first emerged in the fictional nation of Brinia and spread globally over 18 months." (Strengthening Global Systems...)

Move 1: "starts with an unusual outbreak of monkeypox" with the first case detection "on June 5, 2022". The initial infections began on "May 15, 2022". (Full Report PDF)

Covid-19 Tabletop Simulation

Event 201 Summary:

Conducted on: "Friday, October 18, 2019"

"Event 201 was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated a ... scientifically plausible, pandemic." (About)

"Event 201 simulates an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms." (Scenario)

"And so it begins..."

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

"You can count me out. I’m not playing this game a second time."

"Who had Monkeypox on their 2022 Bingo Card?"

"Monkeypox is pronounced with the "k" silent."

"I can't believe it's monkey pox season already. I still have my Ukraine decorations up."

"The virus enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), respiratory tract, or the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth)." (CDC Monkeypox Transmission)

"Where are Prescient Bill Gates and Lord Fauci, Patron Saint of Wuhan, to tell us what to do?"

I created this using GIMP 2.10.24.

In February / March of 2020, the lie Governments were telling us was that covid-19 got into humans because of someone eating an undercooked infected bat or some similar story about bats, and I fell for their lie (mea culpa). Back in 2020 and early 2021, anyone who suggested otherwise, like it was "accidentally" released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) lab, was labeled a conspiracy theorist fake news spreader.

Fast forward to the end of May 2021, and we finally learned that, "Three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care." (Wall Street Journal, May 23, 2021). And suddenly the Narrative changed 180 degrees, and news organizations are now reporting that covid-19, may, in fact, have originated in the WIV lab.
