I got a kick from this quote:

"We are hugely underestimating the number of these zoonotic cases in the world, and this (Langya virus) is just the tip of the iceberg," said emerging virus expert Leo Poon, a professor at the University of Hong Kong's School of Public Health, who was not involved in the latest study.

Well of course Leo is going to say that. If you're an emerging virus 'expert', you want the world to see it as you do, one big viral soup, and if everyone believes, really believes, and fears, well, that's great for business and those huge grants! He might even get interviewed on CNN!

This is the same script EcoHealth Alliance has been reading off ever since it formed - whipping up fear of nature - a deadly virus under every rock - ready to wreak havoc across the globe. So give us more money!

It used to be all about bio-terrorism, of course, which went into the stratosphere thanks to 911/Anthrax. When it quietly came out that the Anthrax terrorist attack was actually perpetrated by top-US scientist(s) - to get more money for vaccines/fighting bioterrorism, and there were no other bio-terrorist attacks, the focus switched to fear of nature around the 2010's.

But at it's core, it's essentially the same. Same powerful scientist clique making shit up to engender fear amongst the masses - so they can get more power & money for vaccines/fighting nature. All of which they were/are hugely successful at.

It's also a funny quote because it's ambiguous. Is he emerging as an expert of viruses, or an expert of emerging viruses? I suspect both, and since he's emerging, he's super eager. I mean, he may have been in the field a long time, but he's not a household name yet like Fauci, and surely that's what he aspires to be, a household name with international fame.

Yes, that is funny. Funny how the more virus-scientists emerged, the more novel viruses emerged. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Those associations do indeed raise red flags. I've always felt that the whole notion that there's an increasing risk of animal to human transmission is backwards. I think it's decreasing for a number of reasons.

First, the percentage of people having direct contact with wild animals is decreasing hourly. Consider that just a couple hundred years ago, most everybody, literally, would be in some form a daily physical contact with wild animals beyond insects. Today, even in developing countries, that percentage is falling off very quickly.

Also, as we're reminded constantly, we're already into, what is it, the 5th great extinction? We're losing species daily. It just doesn't make sense to me that there should be some explosion of animal to human viral transmission.

And yet that's what we're being told with alarming headlines like this one from the article you shared: New Langya virus found in China could be 'tip of the iceberg'.

It bothers me that there is all this secret stuff going on under-cover-of-the-night that we're supposed to just accept and swallow whatever BS is put out to cover it.

As such, i'm suspicious about the new Langya Virus. When i first heard of it, i noticed it was a henipavirus, which is related to the Hendra virus. This raised alarms coz that's the kind that Wang Linfa first 'discovered' in Australia when he was working at the CSIRO (Aus's top govt sci-research facility). In fact, that 'break-through' resulted in the invention of bat virus crossover science, from scratch.

I then read another article, and sure enough, Wang Linfa was one of the scientists who 'discovered' Langya.

Some fast facts about Linfa Wang:

• likely an original pioneer of the United Front Work Dept - one of it's greatest success stories - becoming head scientist as Aus's CSIRO for a decade
  
• up to his neck in crafting the notorious Lancet Statement
  
• invented the whole bat virus industry "from scratch"
  
• long term (and current) Chair of WIV's advisory board!!! (incl while he was head-scientist at CSIRO)
  
• Core Bat-gang collaborator with Batman (Daszak) & Bat Lady on GoF experiments on bat viruses at WIV

Oh. That's kinda sky-high on the COI stakes! But MSM continues to print Wang's propaganda asTHE Science.

Yes, viruses exist in animals, same way they exist in us - but the number of crossover events from animals to humans, that then become contagious human-to-human, is exceedingly rare. Of those where this has happened - SARS, Covid, AIDS, Ebola (circa2014) - the origins are all unknown - with large clouds of suspicion remaining as to whether the intermediate species was in fact a scientist in a lab.

So when a new contagious virus suddenly pops up that has purportedly jumped from humans to animals - and is from a virus family that, as the article says, not typically known for easy human-to-human spread - and it involves Wang Linfa - you have to be very, very skeptical.

I'm thinking it's most likely more EcoHealth scio-crap designed to camouflage the lab-leak & boost funding.

Or ...The next shot fired in an invisible bio-war. Say what you like about the origin of Covid - it's a fact that has had dramatic global impact.
