Novel Coronavirus Global Alert, WHO SARS-like Virus
The World Health Organization's global alert regarding a novel coronavirus is scrutinized. The hosts question why a Qatari patient was flown to London for testing and suggest the virus may have been synthesized at Erasmus University in the Netherlands.
News reports discuss the controversy surrounding the publication of H5N1 bird flu research at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, which showed the virus could mutate to become airborne between ferrets. The U.S. government has expressed concerns that such information could be used by terrorists. The hosts share their own minimal prepping strategies, focusing on food, gold, and self-defense.
The U.S. government has requested that scientists at Erasmus University withhold the publication of certain details regarding a highly contagious strain of H5N1 bird flu they created in a lab. The National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity argues the information could be used for bioterrorism. This move has sparked a debate over scientific censorship and the risks of "need-to-know" data sharing among global health officials.
Bird Flu Research, H5N1, Al-Qaeda Poison Plots
Dutch scientists at Erasmus University created a highly infectious version of the H5N1 bird flu virus, sparking fears of bioterrorism if the research is published. Meanwhile, reports suggest Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is collaborating with Boko Haram to develop lethal poisons or "vaccines" to be used by suicide attackers in West Africa.
