An international group of scientists have published an open letter calling for an investigation into the origins of Covid-19. That is all well and good, but they have taken their sweet time. This should have been done last year when there might have been a chance of getting some of the needed information. The CCP would be pretty incompetent, which it is not, if it left anything to be found now. All evidence today will be indirect, and not conclusive, but highly suggestive. We know they did it, even though it is going to be hard to prove it. It will be harder to seek some sort of punishment for the CCP who always play hardball, and have shown nothing but contempt for the West. Anyway, more reason to fight hard in World War III, for the 20 minutes it lasts.
“A group of internationally renowned scientists have issued another open letter calling for a new, thorough inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic by an international investigation team. The letter also provided solutions to the possible scenario of the Chinese communist regime not cooperating with such an investigation.
On June 28, the “Paris Group” published the open letter with major French media Le Figaro. The group is made up of 31 leading scientists and doctors from countries around the world, including France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, New Zealand, India, Australia, the United States, Canada, and Japan.
The letter notes that COVID-19 has been raging around the world for more than a year, but the origin of the virus hasn’t been identified.
A report by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) team that visited Wuhan, China, a year after the outbreak to seek its origins—now shown to have included key members with a clear conflict of interest—was inconclusive and raised doubts globally, especially in Western countries.
“We believe that the joint study process that the WHO is currently calling for, in its current form, does not satisfy the conditions to be credible due to serious structural gaps,” the letter reads.
The letter also addresses the Chinese regime’s attempt to erase related data, pointing out: “The measures taken by the Chinese government to hide the origins, and stop Chinese experts from sharing certain essential information and detailed data clearly show that the current process, without significant changes, has no chance of putting a complete or credible inquiry in place for all possible scenarios.”
The letter states that it’s “particularly regrettable that no exhaustive inquiry on all the plausible origins has been undertaken, and that none is planned.”
“We ask for a new scientific inquiry into all the plausible origin hypothesis, which has unlimited access to all the pertinent files, samples, and staff in China, and elsewhere if necessary,” the scientists urge in the letter.
The direction of the investigation should include the possibility of the virus leaking from the laboratory, the letter suggests.”
Meanwhile the EU has rolled out its digital Covid certificate, as part of the new European normal:

“The European Union on Thursday launched its digital COVID-19 certificate system, a “vaccine passport” type credential meant to smooth border crossings between the EU’s 27 member states.
Called the EU digital COVID certificate, the credential indicates if a traveller has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, has received a recent negative test result, or has immunity due to recent recovery. It takes the form of a QR code which can be displayed on an electronic device such as a smartphone or printed out.
The European Commission (EC), the bloc’s executive body, said in a statement that 21 Member States had already started to issue the certificates ahead of the July 1 deadline, while five EU countries were set to start using the system today. There is a phasing-in period of six weeks for the issuance of certificates for those EU countries that need more time.
“In March, we promised to have an EU-wide system to facilitate free and safe travel within the EU by the summer holidays,” said EC President Ursula von der Leyen, in a statement. “Now we can confirm that the EU Digital COVID Certificate system is up and running.”
Under the framework, EU member states will still be able to hit an “emergency brake” and re-impose travel restrictions for vaccinated and recovered persons if the epidemiological situation deteriorates significantly, for instance barring travellers from a region showing a spike in more infectious variants of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
“Under the new rules, Member States must refrain from imposing additional travel restrictions on holders of an EU Digital COVID Certificate, unless they are necessary and proportionate to safeguard public health,” the EC said in a statement.
Fully vaccinated persons with the digital credential should be exempted from travel-related testing or quarantine 14 days after having received the last dose of an EU-approved COVID-19 vaccine. The same exemption should apply to previously infected people who recovered and who received a single dose of the vaccine. Member States also have the option to lift travel-related testing or quarantine restrictions for people who received the first dose of a 2-dose series.
People who have recovered from a COVID-19 infection and possess an EU digital COVID certificate should be exempted from travel-related testing or quarantine during the first 180 days after a positive PCR test.
Those with a negative test in the digital certificate format should be exempted from quarantine requirements, unless they come from areas heavily impacted by the virus, which are regions designated as “dark red” by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. EU member states have agreed on a standard validity period for tests—72 hours for PCR tests and, where accepted by individual countries, 48 hours for rapid antigen tests.
While several EU countries have run trials on the new system before July 1, it is not clear whether police or those controlling borders have the equipment and manpower to check travellers.
Europe’s air travel industry cautioned earlier this week that plans for the certificate rollout were still “fragmented,” warning of long lines for travellers unless countries better coordinate deployment.
“Certificate verification will undermine smooth summer travel for EU passengers,” groups representing Europe’s largest airlines and airports said in a joint statement. “As passenger traffic increases in the coming weeks, the risk of chaos at European Airports is real.”
“Duplicate checks and lack of verification tools provided to airlines will cause unnecessary airport queues and longer processing times if not addressed by the Member States,” they added.”
Even if China did deliberately release Covid-19, the West has capitalised on it, first using it to get rid of Trump with the electoral scams, then to move to communist totalitarian systems anyway. It is possible that the globalists simply want the world organised around the Chinese communist model of a techno dystopia. Hopefully World War III will not be a paper tiger, and will wipe this all out. That is how bad it is, to look to global nuclear annihilation as a possible salvation from an even worse fate!
