In Search of the Virus: A Quite Singular Etiology

A Tale of Two Pastors, or Chaplain, for the AAR, Can You Start Us Off in Actions on the Objective Regarding What Went Wrong, for Our Lessons Learned, and Your OER Support Form to Your Most Senior Rater?

[FOB FREEDOM, February 20, 2023] Any station? Any station? Do you read? Over.

Reporting live from the world’s newest banana republic, in 1803, “just 27 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence”, according to the official church website, the First Baptist Church of Alexandria (FBCA) was founded by men like Revolutionary War veteran Rev. Jeremiah Moore, who had enjoyed correspondence on matters of faith with Thomas Jefferson, and had apparently been found still preaching, despite being thrown in jail, for preaching the gospel, as one of the driving forces for inclusion of religious liberty in the First Amendment. Similarly, in 1803, just two years after Jefferson’s reply to the Danbury Baptist Convention regarding a “wall of separation”, as the official website relates the story, “when Baptists in Northern Virginia worshipped at the Backlick Baptist Church on Little River Turnpike”, apparently “members from Alexandria, Virginia separated from them to form the Alexandria Baptist Society”, of which one Susan Black, a Negro slave, the first colored member, but in 1806, integration ended, and the colored members formed the Colored Baptist Society of Alexandria, “the first black Baptist church north of Richmond”, apparently swelling in membership “when slaves from Mount Vernon Plantation joined”, and in 1818, the Colored Baptist Society acquired the property at 313 South Alfred Street, which today is the Alfred Street Baptist Church (ASBC), two Baptist Churches as different as night and day, on all outward appearances one might think.

However, by providence or serendipity, prior to a “once in a lifetime pandemic”, Senior Pastor Howard-John Wesley, the fourth generation of preachers in his family, at ASBC had graduated magna cum laude from Duke University with bachelor’s degrees in biomedical engineering and electrical engineering”, and had even begun medical school, apparently, before answering the call of the Lord, of report, and medical school can be a pretty daunting undertaking, perhaps like as many as 24% of atheist felt at the beginning of the pandemic, finding themselves turning to prayer. And, apparently, “[t]hrough a Divine intervention, Robert [Stephens] stepped into his first ministerial position at age 19”, and Rev. Stephens “holds a B.S. in Animal Science from Tarleton State University,” and just last Sunday, preaching yet again about the invitation to the big banquet, he delighted all with his knowledge of how many types of butterflies and roses there were, while admitting that he could not personally distinguish them between one another, but assured that God could, just as sure as he would one day be at the banquet in the Heavenly Kingdom.

Before pandemic, Rev. Wesley had to take a little mental health break but returned in time to cancel worship indefinitely, a whole day before the former Virginia Governor had begun the lockdowns, calling for all nonessential social gatherings of 100 persons or more to disband, so as to prevent the spread of a disease for which 1,800 teams of at least five epidemiologists had found not even one large social event to have contributed to an outbreak in China for which they had calculated a less than five percent secondary attack rate, 12 times too low to be described as a highly contagious disease, capable of setting off a super spreader, which apparently is not covered in biomedical engineering at the Pratt Institute of Engineering, or in the Animal Science Program at Tarleton State University, as, according to report, Rev. Stephens, a Major in the USAR, during the pandemic, had been “assigned as a Chaplain for a COVID response hospital”, but even the newest Commanding General of the USAR had told soldiers, in January 2021, that she didn’t want to play roulette with the virus, and got the shot, she assured was backed by the science, albeit developed without the prerequisite knowledge of infectious dose to enable the development of an effective, and not just efficacious vaccine, two distinct terms, to a clinician.

And, while some 28% of Americans according to Pew Research Center, believed a lab leak crackpot conspiracy by July 2020, their research had found that “[m]ost Americans (71%) ha[d] heard of a conspiracy theory circulating widely online that alleges that powerful people intentionally planned the coronavirus outbreak”, and, moreover, “a quarter of U.S. adults s[aw] at least some truth in it – including 5% who say it is definitely true and 20% who say it is probably true”, and, not surprisingly, “Americans who s[aw] at least some truth to the theory differs by demographics and partisanship”, but “[e]ducational attainment is an especially important factor when it comes to perceptions of the conspiracy theory.” In fact, according to the survey, while “[a]round half of Americans with a high school diploma or less education (48%) sa[id] the theory [wa]s probably or definitely true,” who would wake up surprised to learn that “[t]hat compares with 38% of those who have completed some college but have no degree, 24% of those with a bachelor’s degree and 15% of those with a postgraduate degree”, a positive correlation between being a “denier of science” and having a low education? And you look like an intelligent person.

However, for crackpots who have perhaps attended law school, or even some like Alexandria Commonwealth Attorney Bryan Porter, who have prosecuted RICO cases, know that “[t]he Government may prove the defendant's knowing participation in a conspiracy through circumstantial evidence, including: (1) the defendant’s association with conspirators in furtherance of the conspiracy; (2) his or her presence at “critical stages of the conspiracy that cannot be explained by happenstance”; (3) his or her “possession of items that are of essential significance to the conspiracy”; and (4) acts that show a consciousness of guilt, including false exculpatory statements”, as the court in U.S. v. Climico, No. S2 11 CR. 974-08 CM, 2014 WL 4230320, at *1–7 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 7, 2014), said, quoting U.S. v. Anderson, 747 F.3d 51, 60 (2d Cir.2014).

And one litigation hobbyist, currently preparing an innovative application for issue of a writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum to raise allegations to the level of facial plausibility, is preparing a report to demonstrate that one Ralph Baric did find at least an association with persons like Dr. Anthony Fauci, as well as Peter Daszak, a person who just happened to be the only non-Chinese person to participate in a study in 2013, when a SARS-like coronavirus had been successfully cultivated in vitro, around the time that, at least by coincidental correlation, the world experienced the “zoonotic evolution” that exploded from apparently dromedary camels invading nosocomial settings on the Arabian Peninsula and erupting into the MERS outbreak, but which has yet to have ever found even one camel herdsman infected with this condition that in 2015 somehow erupted again in South Korea, again generally limited to nosocomial settings outbreaks with no wider community spread. Present at a critical stage of a conspiracy might be an issue for a trier of fact.

However, that one Ralph Baric did happen to acquire a patent for methodologies to develop a spike protein for a SARS-like coronavirus for which he and others, including some from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, had successfully cultivated not just in vivo, but also in vitro, the first cultivation in vitro for any virus, in 2015, had happened, at least by coincidence, to have applied for a patent on methodologies regarding recombinant coronaviruses in 2002, the year before the SARS outbreak in Hong Kong, which had also presented primarily nosocomial settings outbreaks with no wider community spread may raise a reasonable suspicion to a trier of fact, and how many persons who blindly accept the narrative regarding a natural evolution took the time under the evolutionary pressure of a lethal pandemic, in which, according to the Wall Street Journal, over 15 million persons have died? And what great accomplishments shall some chaplains, familiar with science, add to update their OER Support Forms, that will impress their Senior Rater, one irreverent son of a reverend, and former biological warfare planner can only speculate, and, according to the Good Book, it is more difficult for a rich man to get into that Heavenly Kingdom than a camel through the eye of a needle, bearing MERS virus or not.

Note: grandiosity is a classic sign of bipolar disorder, and we don't want to hurt his feelings lest he go to “that place”, so familiar to Arlington Public School Board Member, Latina Cristina Torres-Diaz.

Chim-chimera. Chim-chimera. Chim-chim-cherry. A pandemic agent as lucky can be. Chim-chimera. Chim-chimera. Chim-chim--achoo. The luck'll rub off when I bump fists with you. Or blow me a kiss, and catch COVID-2.
