Where is coronavirus from?
What/Who is the source?
Why is it out now?
We KNOW the global authority allow scientists to create viruses and vaccines.
WHAT IS A REASON FOR IT?
THATS THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION!

Knowledge workers are currently stuck at home, bored & drinking & at a loose end. Unlike NHS staff, careworkers, or delivery drivers (all at risk from coronavirus) they’re at risk of conspiravirus instead. It’s bloody contagious & we know there will never be a vaccine

On Easter Sunday, Boris Johnson was discharged from St Thomas’s Hospital and dispatched to Chequers to rest. Within minutes, Twitter lit up with Boris Resurrection Conspiracies. Boris didn’t really have coronavirus and it was all a ploy to elicit public sympathy.

Watch out for ‘conspiravirus’
By Kim Sorvig Jun 6, 2020 Updated Jul 12, 2021
Once we make it through the COVID-19 pandemic, we should anticipate a host of other “novel” viruses, mostly in the “conspiravirus” family.
