August 22, 2005 – A study is published online titled, “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.” The study’s conclusion states in part, “Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS CoV infection.” Fast forward to 2020… The media and the left (but I repeat myself) would rather have people suffer and die than use a drug touted by President Trump.
November 9, 2015 – A study is published online about the “threat of cross-species transmission events leading to outbreaks in humans” in regard to coronaviruses originating in bats. In the main section of the report they write about how they are creating chimeras: “Therefore, to examine the emergence potential (that is, the potential to infect humans) of circulating bat CoVs, we built a chimeric virus encoding a novel, zoonotic CoV spike protein – from the RsSHC014-CoV sequence that was isolated from Chinese horseshoe bats – in the context of the SARS-CoV mouse-adapted backbone. The hybrid virus allowed us to evaluate the ability of the novel spike protein to cause disease independently of other necessary adaptive mutations in its natural backbone.” The study isn’t too long and worth the read. Dr. Shi Zhengli and Ralph Baric both contributed. I mentioned in an earlier entry that funding for the collaborative efforts of these two doctors may have been halted more than a year earlier, but there is no submission date attached to this study, and it could have preceded the funding halt.

October 10, 2019 – A study is published online examining the connection between seasonal flu vaccines and respiratory “virus interference.” The study, which was conducted among a large number of Department of Defense personnel, revealed that “Vaccine derived virus interference was significantly associated with coronavirus…” In other words, taking a seasonal flu vaccine makes people more susceptible to respiratory illnesses like the Wuhan Red Death.
November 27, 2019 – The New England Journal of Medicine publishes a study titled, “A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Ebola Virus Disease Therapeutics.” The study tested four separate treatments for Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and of the 673 patients who participated, 175 received remdesivir. The section titled “Mortality” reads in part, “On August 9, 2019, when 681 patients had been enrolled, the data and safety monitoring board conducted an interim analysis on data from 499 patients and, on the basis of two observations, recommended terminating random assignment to ZMapp and remdesivir.” This is because 53% of the people given remdesivir died during the trial and continued use of the drug could not be justified. The study went on to say while “most characteristics at baseline were balanced across the four groups, values for serum creatinine and aminotransferases were higher in the ZMapp and remdesivir groups than in the MAb114 and REGN-EB3 groups,” which indicates the drugs were damaging to both the liver and kidneys. Despite the fact remdesivir is total garbage, it later became a key part of the NIH’s COVID treatment “protocol.”
