Has J.J. Couey bridged the virus-no virus divide?

This sure looks like the Unifying Theory of Everything to me

Jonathan J. (J.J.) Couey was one of the founding members of DRASTIC, the Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19 that smelled a big fat rat in the official ‘COVID was a natural spill-over event due to inexplicable relations between a bat and a pangolin in the Wuhan wet market’ narrative, and began ferreting out the dark secrets of US-sponsored gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in the Wuhan Institute of Virology early in 2020.

However, recently Couey has taken a hard turn away from the ‘lab leak’ hypothesis and formulated an alternative hypothesis of the pandemic that has the potential to bridge the gap between the virus and no-virus camps.

In brief, Couey contends that:

• Coronaviruses such as ‘SARS-CoV-2’ are not capable of causing deadly pandemics because of their rapid mutation rate, which causes most viral particles to be non-replication-competent and therefore not infectious;

• Gain-of-function research on RNA viruses is not possible in the manner in which it has been presented to the public, as the viral genome is too unstable;

• In order to work on RNA viruses in the lab, virologists create DNA versions of the virus which are stable and replication-competent;

• Infectious clones of these DNA versions were created, and released in multiple locations (e.g. Wuhan, Iran, northern Italy, New York) at the beginning of the pandemic, causing a relatively small number of cases with a high viral load of highly replication-competent viral particles which caused a very specific symptom pattern - an ‘altitude sickness’ type of presentation - which was observed by doctors in each location;

• As the virus moved through the population, it reverted to a more ‘normal’ pattern of a relatively low number of replication-competent viral particles, which caused more typical coronavirus symptoms i.e. common cold/flu-like illness;

• The PCR tests developed to test for SARS-CoV-2 also detected other coronaviruses, so the molecular ‘signature’ of the supposed novel pandemic virus persisted long after the infectious clones had petered out;

• After the initial waves of severe illness caused by the infectious clones had subsided, the remainder of the deaths attributed to SARS-CoV-2 were in fact caused by bad medical treatment (remdesivir, midazolam, ventilators, denial of antibiotics and steroids for treatment of pneumonia) and lockdown policies which resulted in neglect of nursing home residents, depression, suicide, drug overdoses and denial of/delayed medical care for non-COVID illnesses.

• The ‘variants’ of SARS-CoV-2 were in fact subsequent releases of slightly modified infectious clones, once again performed simultaneously in multiple locations to give the impression that the new variants were sweeping the world.

I hope I’ve represented J.J. Couey’s hypothesis accurately. Watch the video here and let me know whether I’m off base:

P.S. Make sure you watch until the end, when Couey plays a short clip of neuroscientist Dr James Giordano describing how, if he were a bioterrorist, he would stage multiple releases of a biological agent in different locations, and then publicise the symptoms associated with this agent to get all the hypochondriacs to believe that they had it and to flood the health system with the ‘worried well’. The video starts at around 2’13”.

I really think J.J. Couey is on to something. What do you think?
