The Wuhan Cover-Up: And the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race

Rate this book
“RFK Jr. exposes the decades of lies.”—Luc Montagnier, Nobel laureate
 
From the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Publishers Weekly bestselling author of The Real Anthony Fauci comes an explosive exposé of the cover-up behind the true origins of COVID-19.
 
“Gain-of-function” experiments are conducted to deliberately develop highly virulent, easily transmissible coronavirus pathogens for the stated purpose of developing preemptive vaccines for animal viruses before they jump to humans. More insidious is the “dual use” nature of this research, specifically directed toward bioweapons development.
 
The Wuhan Cover-up pulls back the curtain on how the US government increase in biosecurity spending after the 2001 terror attacks led Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to set in motion a plan to transform the NIAID into a de facto Defense Department agency.
 
While Dr. Fauci zealously pursued gain-of-function research, concern grew among some scientists and government officials about the potential for accidental or deliberate release of weaponized viruses from labs that might trigger worldwide pandemics. A moratorium was placed on this research, but true to form, Dr. Fauci found ways to continue unperturbed—outsourcing some of his most controversial experiments offshore to China and providing federal funding to Wuhan Institute of Virology's (WIV's) leading researchers for gain-of-function studies in partnership with the Chinese military and the Chinese Communist Party.
 
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose meticulously researched and rigorously sourced analysis, leads readers on a staggering journey to learn about:
the key enablers and henchmen pushing for gain-of-function research
the profit motive behind gain-of-function research
successfully engineered “chimeric viruses” that can infect and kill humans
the coordinated effort to silence speculation of COVID-19’s laboratory genesis
the complicity of scientific journals to hide the origins of COVID-19
the role of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China’s biowarfare/biodefense program
the relationships between US health, military, and intelligence bureaucracies and scientists and their Chinese counterparts
the role of Bill Gates and Sir Jeremy Farr in helping to orchestrate China’s global cover-up
 The Wuhan Cover-up unveils a US/Chinese conspiracy of epic proportion and lethal consequence.

I received an early copy of the book and just finished. Amazing book. As of today 6/28/2023 two people rated it 1 start a year ago? That’s impossible. Read, learn and don’t let this happen again.

I tried the first time to wake people up and refused to get the vax or use a mask. I still haven’t gotten Covid.

I actually took in the Audible audiobook narrated by Bruce Wagner.

Kennedy has a lot of research here and brings forth of facts that I had not picked up on after reading several books on the topic. For instance, the 2019 Military World Games commonly known as Wuhan 2019, was held from October 18–27, 2019 in Wuhan, China. Was this the first superspreader event? It certainly has some traction as part of some COVID conspiracy thought.

Introductory matter praises a bunch of people for their impressive affiliations and letters after their names for validating facts, etc. Which facts? The WW II history of Unit 731 and heinous biological warfare work of Nazis and Americans? This felt like a Chewbacca defense tactic in what is supposedly an indictment of Fauci and Gates. So, admittedly by the author, there is a bias here. If you want an even assessment of prominent actors during the Covid response, look elsewhere. I went and also got a non-audio version so I could review the Endnotes, as they are called here. Here is an example of one thing that sent me to those Endnotes:

Three years later, Jeremy Farrar and his Vietnamese colleague, Tran Tinh Hien, identified the reemergence of the deadly bird flu, or H5N1, in humans. "It was a little girl. She caught it from a pet duck that had died and she’d dug up and reburied," Farrar told the Financial Times.

Based upon Farrar’s report, Dr. Fauci crowed that his long-awaited bird flu had finally arrived. In what has become their familiar enterprise of promoting pandemic panic, Farrar and Fauci received invaluable help from another Wellcome Trust dependent, Neil Ferguson, an epidemiologist and mathematical modeler from former Wellcome director Roy Anderson’s group at Imperial College London. Ferguson was the poster boy for the old saw that "statistics don’t lie but statisticians do."


I don’t recall the “old saw” that way. There is online a fascinating study of the quip "lies, damned lies and statistics". What I was actually looking for was backing for "Fauci crowed that his long-awaited bird flu had finally arrived". I have seen such characterizations sourced from everything from recordings to participant recollection. Nothing here this time and it fits in the general flavor of an already convinced anti-Fauci indictment for which the case is closed and backing evidence is not always required. Some of the sources cited are very doubtful to me, such as [i]The Epoch Times[/i], a far-right newspaper and media company affiliated with the Falun Gong religious movement. Apparently, for those open to such sources and beliefs, Fauci like some kind of Bond villain has for decades been the architect of manufacturing deadly viruses, such a “his long-awaited bird flu”, as part of globalist cabal that sees it as a way to obtain power and control. Apparently multiple presidential administrations, including "fire Fauci" Trump did not uncover an insider operation that makes Ollie North’s Iran-Contra scam look very small time.

That is a fascinating view that I think it would make not only good movie, but a whole franchise. This radical far-right mindset ("RFRM"; I don’t know what else to call it) has problems with neocons as instigators of this and can find fault with Fauci et al for evading Clinton and Obama bioweapons restrictions, thus implicitly ceding some wisdom to those Democratic presidents.

It can all be very confusing to an outside like myself, but somehow makes sense to me that this same RFRM can be best by monstrous migrants and perceive the motivations of shape-shifting lizard leaders. But Kennedy has worked to protect the environment and like those that seen Satanic pedophile rings he puts children first, chairing Children's Health Defense (CHD), a nonprofit activist group mainly known for anti-vaccine disinformation and campaigning against various public health programs, such as fluoridation of drinking water. It’s all very John Birch Society to me.

And this is coming from a man who has a father and uncle assassinated by what many believe (and at times, me) to be a government conspiracy.

From the mid-1960s, the CIA was using USAID in its dirty war against the Cuban government including as a cover for various assassination attempts on President Fidel Castro. The principal mastermind of one attempt—during Fidel’s 1971 visit to Chile—was an assassin and USAID official, Antonio Veciana, founder and director of the anti-Castro terror group Alpha 66, which JFK had shut down in 1962. Veciana, whom I met at his Miami home in 2017, told me that he met Lee Harvey Oswald—with whom he shared a CIA handler, David Atlee Phillips—in Dallas a month before my uncle’s assassination.


So, after that, it doesn’t surprise me that he sees vaccines as a cause of everything from autism and Gulf War syndrome.

Also, like I hear from RFRM, the bully Putin is something between a victim and a hero.

The State Department funneled some $5 billion into the fomenting of public "Maidan" protests that led to the overthrow of Ukraine’s government and its replacement by a US-installed, pro-Western regime. In a leaked audio recording, neocon kingpin Victoria Nuland, then a deputy secretary of state under Obama, said to the US ambassador to Ukraine, “Fuck the EU,” regarding Europe’s pick for the next ruler of Ukraine, and issued instructions for the handpicking of Ukraine’s new leadership. Nuland’s orchestrated coup prompted Vladimir Putin’s bloodless annexation of Crimea to protect Russia’s only warm-water port in Vladivostok.


Those malicious neocons again – this time inside the Obama administration. He also blames those neocons for CIA torture. This is not a charge I would defend them against. And Fauci did say on remdesivir for COVID-19: "This will be the standard of care". Putting such things together at times feels like not only showing me a hoofprint and telling me to think of zebras, but something that looks rather like a hoofprint and think of a herd of zebras.

Probably the most compelling argument here is the Wuhan Lab and the gain-of-function disagreement. It is a fact, there was U.S. grant money going to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Wuhan was also ground zero for a global pandemic. In the case of zoonotic transfer, it is highly unlike the actual zoonosis – the bat bite on the pangolin of whatever – could ever be found. (If it were to be found, I would be more like to believe the lab leak hypothesis than I am now, as that would strike me as a cover-up gambit.)

Also, there is the fact of Fauci: The Highest Paid Employee In The Entire U.S. Federal Government. So, sometimes the nerds win! Also, from the generally anti-science RFRM I have heard this before. It is another thing that doesn’t surprise me that this argument is present while I doubt the RFRM would "crow" much about how CEOs can reap millions in tax-subsidized bonuses. I think if I understood the movement psychology enough to explain that, I could better understand a lot of the motivations and beliefs arising from the RFRM.

Kennedy sees the fingerprints of a trend to re-normalize bioweapons research in Title VIII of the Patriot Act. More recently, and besmirching a different administration, he holds up the Russia claims Hunter Biden was involved in financing Ukrainian biolabs for nefarious reasons. American ex-lieutenant Scott Bennett claims that biological weapons were being created on the territory of Ukraine under the leadership of the US. According to Bennett, this process started in 2005 with the creation of Metabiota, financed by Rosemont Fonseca, headed by Hunter Biden. In an interview, Bennett also said that under the administration of Obama and Biden, the DNA of the Slavic population was being collected in order to create biological weapons against them. On January 13, 2011, a grand jury returned an indictment charging Scott Allan Bennett with three counts: (1) knowingly and willfully making a false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement to the Department of the Air Force; (2) wearing a uniform of the armed forces of the United States without authorization; and (3) knowingly and willfully possessing various weapons on MacDill Air Force Base without authorization in violation of security regulations.

But of course they would, right?

The author has clearly done significant research into the details regarding the recent Covid situation we all experienced with lockdowns and significant application of government mandates that we were all required to follow. What is revealing is how the orchestrators/managers of this event profited from their actions and how (I believe) it clouded their judgement.

It does raise the question to me of what are the values that our leaders use as the foundation for their decisions? I think we should explore the values more deeply and evaluate who to put into powerful positions and whether or not they actually personally "live" by them. Specifically who should we trust and who needs to be removed (and possibly charged with violations of their obligation to support) the people they were intended to serve.

This book isn’t really as long as it looks because there are extensive end notes and documentation. The information is very detailed about what happened and when, the history of bio weapons and vaccine research, the rise of global billionaires (especially Bill Gates, his control over the WHO and the push for mandates) and the reach pharmaceutical companies. Lots of eye-opening reveals that were suppressed and censored during the COVID lockdowns. And since international labs aren’t always the best at containing leaks, it looks like we’re in for more versions of lockdowns, censorship and the push for digital ID’s in the years to come.

Whatever the CDC or NIH tells you to do, do the exact opposite and you will be healthier and safer. This book exposes the tissue of lies that is the essence of the COVID-19 scenario. It is astounding that so many experts in the field of virology sold their integrity for money and control.

Gain of Function mentioned 352 times

I am surprised by many RFK Jr supporters who think Gain of Function is a hoax. RFK Jr mentions GOF 362 times in this book. Ron Fouchier of the Erasmus Lab is mentioned 71 times as the leader in GOF.

Was the virus known as Covid19 deliberately or accidently leaked from the Wuhan Institute and then subsequently covered up by implying the virus came from nature?
Why was research into creating deadly viruses crossing over from animals that affect all humans allowed to continue secretly?
Was it really the military as this book suggests that back this research using pharma as a front?

In an amazing coincidence in March 2019 , 6 months before the presumed date of Covid19's presumed outbreak in Wuhan, Stephane Bancel formerly CEO of bioMerieux when it constructed the Wuhan lab and its airflow system and today's Moderna CEO filed a patent application for Moderna's mRNA platform with the US Patent Office.
Moderna urgently requested fast-track review, explaining that rapid processing of the patent was necessary " Because of a concern of reemergence or deliberate release of SARS coronavirus, vaccine development was initiated."

Interesting stuff and makes you wonder why Billy G and others invested so much money in the platform and the soon to be jabs that came with it in the years before 2020.
A Slam dunk investment he knew would pay off.
Gates also funds the WHO and Gavi amongst other NGO's that prepared the response to Covid .
All leading to a response that benefits him and others financially and helps governments increase their power.

RFK Jr releases another book dissecting the virus escape cover up but this doesn't reach the heights of The Real Anthony Fauci.
A good read anyway.

This book was published in December 2023, but I first saw it as an upcoming title sometime in – maybe – summer 2022??? Certainly more than a full year before it was actually published. An acute difference between when “The Wuhan Cover-Up” was suppose to be released to when it actually did was that RFK Jr. tossed his hat into the ring for the upcoming election. Therefore, all opinions and reviews about this book could appear bias, yet Kennedy makes no overtures in “The Wuhan Cover-Up” for this White House bid. (Of course, by writing the book he is outlining potential policy changes, but it's not a "campaign" book). "The Wuhan Cover-Up" is a prequel, or a companion piece to his landmark work, "The Real Anthony Fauci." With this installment, RFK crafts a pseudo-commission report on the origins of COVID-19, focusing on who made it, what they were making, and why they were (are) ratcheting up viruses to become super strong. If “The Real Anthony Fauci” felt like a deep dive, “The Wuhan Cover-Up” really gets into the nitty-gritty to the point of overwhelming. The level of details in reviewing each of the emails, reports and speeches by the various characters will have readers reconsidering modern history. While the cultural impact of "The Wuhan Cover-Up" probably won't be on the level as its predecessor, it's just as spectacular of a volume.

A shocking and eye-opening book!!
This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to know the truth behind the origins of COVID-19 and the terrifying bioweapons arms race. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. exposes the decades of lies and cover-ups by the US and Chinese governments, the health agencies, the media, and the scientific establishment. He reveals how Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the NIAID, funded and pursued dangerous gain-of-function research that created highly virulent and transmissible viruses, and then orchestrated a global conspiracy to hide the evidence and silence the dissenters. He also exposes the role of Bill Gates and Sir Jeremy Farrar in helping to facilitate China's global cover-up.

The book is well-researched and rigorously sourced, with hundreds of references and documents to back up its claims. It is also well-written and compelling, with a narrative that keeps you hooked and outraged. The book raises important questions and concerns about the risks and ethics of gain-of-function research and bioweapons development, and the implications for the future of humanity. It is a book that everyone should read and share.

Riveting, terrifying and disgusting. I would think scientists involved in the study of viruses or how to cure them are either wholly ethical or repeating a mantra of "I'm doing this for the greater good of mankind" as they are killing human beings.
While I found the entire book interesting, what I really enjoyed was the way it was laid out. A listing of the documented inhumane treatment of people over the centuries for the sake of "science". And over a thousand of years of using biological weapons during war.
If anyone disagrees with anything in this meticulously cited book, I'd sure be interested to hear the details refuting what RFK, Jr. has written (or the studies backing his words up).

Anyone who cares about the truth, the future of the free world, or the integrity of science and/or medicine needs to read this book. Kennedy has produced another tour de force that is exhaustively resourced, sweeping in scope, and fearless in revealing the corrupt cabal driving bio weapons research, development of the associated vaccines, and the necessary cover ups. If you have any uneasiness about or interest in the COVID pandemic or the corresponding vaccination enterprise that continues to be promoted despite continually expanding evidence of its grave consequences, this book is a must read.

Truth is Never Hidden

For anyone who has wondered about the origin of the Covid-19 virus and why a vaccine was promoted by governments within an unprecedented short time, this book is for you.
This was a tough read for me. Much of it I already knew but the hubris, drive for power, and willful disregard for human life and the well being of our nation is nothing short of shockingly stunning.
The facts are undeniable.
And yet there are such intelligent and honorable people who strive to provide great health care, meaningful leadership in state governments, even a few on the federal level, who strive to push back against the tide of extreme wealth and power.
Be informed. Then support those who are striving against those who have torn our country apart through the greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon society.
This book is well worth your time and attention.

The biggest takeaway is the damaging impact of bioweapons R&D... Both the actual danger of nearly daily lab leaks to the moral decay of diverting so much of the NIH "health" funding to activities that kill people.

This book explores the role health officials, intelligence agencies, and industry played in creating the pandemic and the coverup. Kennedy explores the past (how we even got here), the present of emerging facts, and a future where this doesn't need to be the status quo.
January 13, 2024
With over 100 pages of references RFK, Jr. does an amazing job putting the COVID-19 story! Start with my three books, "The $Panic of 2020 I,II,III" then read "The Wuhan Cover-up" to get the complete story of the COVID-19 Pandemic! Everyone ought to read these books to get the real facts of one of the greatest historical event of the past 100 years.

The media was able to suppress Robert Kennedy immediately at the beginning of the pandemic. He was painted as a conspiracy theorist. Much of what he was claiming appears to be true, and that is what this book is about. If only half of what he claims is true, this world is in a scary place. Def worth the read.

RFK jr. has exposed with breathtaking clarity the evil behind the gain of function bioweapons developed in secret by our own government sociopaths and has exposed their crimes against humanity. Every decent person affected should read this carefully and act accordingly

A depressing read. But necessary unless you want to stay blind to the business of war.

Second RFK book, just as good as the first. It gives an extensive background on the United States bioweapons arms race that began after WWII when we took all the extremely unethical scientists from the Nazi’s and Japanese and allowed them to work for us and avoid justice. He then provides loads of heavily supported evidence that the United States funded research that created the coronavirus that caused the pandemic. Very scary that no one has been prosecuted yet for what happened.

Here is the list of previous books about Wuhan baloney:

"COVID Operation: What Happened, Why It Happened, and What's Next"-2020
"Is COVID-19 a Bioweapon?: A Scientific and Forensic Investigation"-2021
"Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19"-2021
"What Really Happened In Wuhan: A Virus Like No Other, Countless Infections, Millions of Deaths"-2021
"The Truth about Wuhan: How I Uncovered the Biggest Lie in History"-2022
"Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up"-2023

..total of SIX, and now this one, #SEVEN almost in 2024. How many more?

Part about World War II war criminals from Germany and Japan and how they influenced the development of bioweapons in the U.S., was interesting and disturbing.

Then later about 'C-19' we find again the funders; the scientists who will do anything for another grant; the massive network controlled by a syndicate: the money men and women from NIH’s many institutes, especially its best-funded NIAID; the NSF, whose former director was on the board of EcoHealth Alliance; the Wellcome Trust, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation; and other charities deeply entangled with the mentioned. There are think tanks that help guide the direction the funding takes. A US DoD that contributes billions to whitewash and hide its biowarfare research. And a massive bureaucracy and media that protects all these people from exposure and punishment.

And off course Tony Fauci, Robert Kadlec, Dr. Jeremy Farrar ...well known from RFK Junior's previous book. Farrar played a pivotal role in the overdosing of over 2,500 patients with HCQ clinical trials that he oversaw and funded.
You may read all about it endlessly and your head will explode ! There is good stuff in it, and bad as well. I think it is probably the best document of all of the NONSENSE people ever said ! GOF is a mythology, but it is efficient sucker of taxpayers money, therefore a SCAM.

I think people are tired of all this fruitless attempts to fathom the origins of the 'super GOF virus'. Perhaps there was not any lab engineered virus ? Think about Occam's Razor.
What about pandemic? Did we really have pandemic caused by RNA particle flying around the globe on peoples shoes ?..or was it just forced on population by propaganda, fear and illusion of consensus, in order to conduct experiments with new gene injections ? GOF ? perhaps terribly overstated 'cash cow' draining billions of taxpayers $$ for supposedly sophisticated 'scientific' experiments on 'viruses? What do we seriously know about it?

The problem was that in 2020 SOMEONE told not to give antibiotics and introduced fraudulent PCR tests, test that has not been designed for DIAGNOSIS, and never used before (nothing to compare with).
Because THAT is what killed people: untreated or too late treated pneumonia, simple dehydration in care homes, lack of family support via the eradication of family visits to care homes and hospitals, toxic drugs/opioids administered instead of antibiotics: like midazolam and remdesivir, and mechanical ventilation itself a known killer, no resuscitation orders, fake deaths certificates+ financial incentives ...and many more factors

Unfortunately these types of books serve only as a 'fear-spreader' ("oh God, next novel deadly virus and pandemic is coming, what are we going to do ?!..well, get injected to survive!") and I do not like them at all.
BTW: I liked his book about Fauci and Gates.
