The 2014 moratorium is the reason the research was moved to Wuhan in the first place. Fauci bypassed the moratorium by moving the research out of the country.
That research had already created a chimera virus from a Bat coronavirus and a "mouse adapted SARS backbone" capable of exploiting the ACE2 receptor in humans, and which attacked upper respiratory and lung tissue, with antiviral resistance. The Chinese (two of whom were on that team, and from Wuhan) already had the basic bug, and may have refined it a little, but they got the core of the research data with their scientists back, who had been involved in creating that virus
.
The letter in
Nature practically described SARS-CoV-2, in terms of receptors, characteristics, and the tissue it attacked, as well as being resistant to known antivirals. I'm not sure if the article has been scrubbed, but here is the original link, dated 2015:
https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3985 Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin are
antiparasitic drugs, and were not known for their ionophoric properties WRT to zinc, nor the combination known as an effective antiviral treatment until Zelenko posted his YouTube explaining the regimen (hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin/Zinc) and WHY IT WORKED,
when used at the first onset of symptoms. I saw that before it was removed from YouTube, and it made sense, from a scientific standpoint. I also know someone who has taken Hydroxychloroquine for years, and when the media started demonizing the drug, knew better.
As soon as Trump mentioned Hydroxychloroquine, along with UV light treatments (which research pretty much stopped with the advent of common new antibiotics, because the treatment was unnecessary and complicated compared to taking a pill) and "antiseptic" (nebulized Hydrogen Peroxide, inhaled) the MSM had a field day, even though there was reason to believe that the treatments would work.
The latter two were summarily ridiculed and misstated, even though a simple web search would bring up references.
The jihad against Hydroxychloroquine involved poorly designed "studies" which
all left out the critical zinc supplementation and often left out the antibiotic and were usually administered in the late stages of COVID, instead of early onset. The effects of zinc in mitigating viral infections (primarily the Common Cold, about 1/4 of which are caused by coronaviruses) are now again touted in advertising for cold remedies, but seemed to seldom get mention before the vaccines came out, perhaps because people might put two and two together.
One study (Brazil) even went so far as to give patients lethal doses of Chloroquine (although perhaps unintentionally) --a different drug that sounds like hydroxychloroquine but has more adverse effects (especially q-t interval lengthening on an electrocardiogrph, an indicator it takes the heart longer to recharge between beats, and which can lead to death) and was stopped when subjects died.
YouTube censored Zelenko, and the group Frontline Doctors was ridiculed because of
one of the doctors who stepped up, ignoring the results of their investigations in the rush to ridicule Trump.
Of those who did the research or read about it from others and were able to obtain the ionophore drugs (even veterinary) and zinc survived, at least the ones I know, without hospitalization or long term effects (so far).
A lot of other people died or were subjected to lengthy hospital stays, some still feeling the aftereffects of lung tissue and other damage wrought by the virus.
Considering the charge against even trying the regimens in an appropriate early onset clinical study was pretty much led by the likes of the FDA, CDC, and NIAID, I have to ask how much influence politics had on those agencies' decisions rather than science, and whether the smokescreen blaming Trump was issued in order to provide cover and concealment for the results of clandestine research conducted in collusion with our enemies?
The asses that smokescreen would provide cover for are agency heads and individual scientists, and Fauci is in the thick of it.
