I was quite shocked to discover that Yaroslav Hunka — the Nazi veteran invited to the House of Commons — was actually previously honored (along with several dozen other Waffen SS veterans) by the Ukrainian Canadian Congress in 2007. Notably, the Ukrainian ambassador to Canada

If you hear anyone claim “we know the virus didn’t come from a lab”, don’t buy it — it may well have. Labs around the globe have been creating synthetic viruses for years: medium.com/@yurideigin/la… #covid19 #sars-cov-2 #cov2 #ncov #virology #gainoffunction #gof #wuhan #wiv

Whoa, was the 2021 Ebola outbreak caused by a lab leak? Because in 2021 it was the same human-adapted strain as was previously seen in the 2014 outbreak — i.e. there were so few novel mutations between them that the virus was essentially frozen for 5 years (just as in the 1977

Given Christia Freeland’s close ties with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, I can’t help but wonder whether she knew Yaroslav Hunka personally and/or was well aware of his invitation to the House.

Ok, it is now quite clear how The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 came to be so one-sided. As Kristian Andersen bluntly stated in his somewhat peeved response to Nature’s rejection of their manuscript that didn’t go far enough in discounting the accidental lab leak hypothesis, the

Previously, in 2003, Yaroslav Hunka represented the very same Ukrainian Canadian Congress at the 8th Ukrainian World Congress in Kiev. Since 1989 he frequently visited Ukraine and even ran for Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) in 1994. In 2004 he was made an honorary citizen of

Turns out, a Nazi veteran was awarded the Order of Canada. Peter Savaryn, who served in the Waffen SS Galicia Division and then as the Chancellor of the University of Alberta (the one with all those endowments honoring other Nazi veterans) was awarded the Order of Canada in 1987.

💥KABOOM💥 We examined public sequencing data from Wuhan and discovered contamination of agricultural datasets by viral sequences. We were even able to pull out two novel MERS-like coronaviruses, one of which was in a reverse genetics backbone. arxiv.org/abs/2104.01533

4 years after my first Medium article on Covid origins, I wrote another one. In it, I make the case that SARS-CoV-2 is precisely the virus WIV was hunting for in 2019. yurideigin.medium.com/sars-cov-2-is-… Below is a thread on the key points:

LOL, the general public is discovering what virologists have been doing for decades — “mutating viruses” in the lab. SARS2 has been subjected to such directed evolution in several published studies already. In fact, Omicron looks eerily like the result of one such study.

BREAKING: @pfizer Exploring "Mutating" COVID-19 Virus For New Vaccines "Don't tell anyone this...There is a risk...have to be very controlled to make sure this virus you mutate doesn't create something...the way that the virus started in Wuhan, to be honest." #DirectedEvolution
