Last week, Jeffrey Tucker, host of The Brownstone Show, interviewed virologist Richard K. Burt. He tells of his personal history of knowing with near certainty that the covid virus was manufactured, and the contracts that made it possible were all public. He knew from January 2020. He tried to alert the media. Silence followed.
This is essential viewing for anyone who wants a clinician’s, grant-reader’s account of how virus history, molecular engineering and financial incentives converged on covid-19.

The following is a combination of the description of Dr. Richard K. Burt’s interview on the Brownstone Institute’s Substack, HERE, and the description under the video on YouTube, HERE. The video of the interview is embedded at the end.
Dr. Burt is a recently retired Northwestern University professor, Scripps faculty member and pioneer of haematopoietic stem cell transplant for autoimmune diseases. He provides the clearest explanation we’ve yet seen of the origins of covid, which he also lays out in a new book, ‘Kill Switch: The History of How Viruses Shaped Humanity and Led to COVID-19’.
Dr. Burt wrote the book for lay readers – from smallpox through the molecular-biology revolution after 1960 – after a Chinese post-doctorate told him in late December 2019 or early January 2020 that Shi Zhengli’s bat-coronavirus website had been scrubbed overnight.
He pulled National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID”) grants routed through EcoHealth Alliance to Wuhan, saw gain-of-function work that made non-pathogenic viruses infect humans and in mid-to-late January 2020 briefed a major-network broadcaster. The reply was essentially “so what?”
Vaccines, Burt argues, have been a genuine “kill switch” for pandemics and have saved hundreds of millions of lives. The problem is the new project: engineering pathogens that never existed on Earth without inserting a molecular suicide gene or other containment – technology Burt himself published decades ago – and without serious oversight.
He walks through Fouchier’s 2012 H5N1 (influenza A, commonly known as bird flu) work, Fauci’s solo-authored 2012 paper claiming the benefits of such experiments outweigh the risk of a pandemic, the Ralph Baric–Shi Zhengli receptor-binding-domain collaboration in Nature Medicine and the later cover story that pointed away from a laboratory the US National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) had funded.
The Bayh-Dole Act turned tax-funded university research into pharmaceutical licenses while schools keep charity tax status; unlimited Political Action Committee (“PAC”) spending that can end a senator’s career who challenges the industry; US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) permitted direct-to-consumer drug adverts that underwrite corporate media on both the left and the right. Burt’s own multiple sclerosis (“MS”) transplant work – one-time, highly effective, no patent – is drowned out by infusion drugs that can bill tens or hundreds of thousands a year. He compares covid-era messaging to Hearst–Pulitzer yellow journalism after the USS Maine, and insists the fix is not hunting one villain but tracing the financial currents that keep the same “mistakes” alive.
The implications of the scenario Dr. Burt describes are profound. We have a bioweapons industry that has been hacking the microbial kingdom. The major media, ruled by revenue streams from pharmaceutical companies that benefit from this, know not to say anything about it and pretend it doesn’t exist. The profession of virology and epidemiology is also captured into silence.
Realising the scale of this creates a genuine shift in one’s understanding. Good people have done their best to put an end to these dangerous experiments, but it is unclear whether and to what extent they have had success.
This is an extremely serious matter. The word existential is overused – but it literally applies in this case. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical industry stands ready with more injections, more potions, more pills, more costly and patented therapies.
We can see how this is all unfolding as a political split. Some people within the Trump Administration want to put an end to this madness. They face an uphill battle. You can watch the interview below.

U R correct.
Hopefully, you understand the massive benefit to 3/15.
Slowly but Shirley, the believers are being crippled and x-terminated.
Suddenly, should be the word of the decade.
Heaven’s way of settling up for choosing the wrong God.
Ya’ll should have paid attention when Barry said Fundamentally Change.
My fav was when U fine folks wanted to put us in camps in 2022.
Wish ya would have stopped by.

This VIROLOGIST FRAUDSTER of fake expert in virology are still playing their parts in pushing REPETITIVE same narrative of virus existence.
Just show me YOUR research paper on isolation process to isolate the virus for experiments & for virus characteristic observation of virus duplicating using RNA strand. Show me the DOCUMENTED SCIENTIFIC METHOD that could be tested & verified genuine successful processes.
This will end all the debate of the virus exist or not. Back to basics & stop beating around the bush..!!!
Microbial means small organism such as micro-bacterial that could be observed using microscope. Virus can’t be seen using microscope & fall under SUBATOMIC or same as atom size.
Using microbial term to describe virus already misleading & TOTAL lies..!!
The first virus was discovered in 1892 by Dmitri Ivanovsky, who showed that a disease affecting tobacco plants could be transmitted through a filter that retained bacteria. WHAT A BLUNDER OF THEORY was documented as a fact without any evidences..? Electron microscope only invented in 1930.
How they proof the existence of virus before 1930? … using 100% Pseudo-science theory.
In 1930, technological advancement was still at infant stage but already successfully invented a super complex machine such as an electron microscope completely red flags of shady & bogus invention.
Electron & atom was a theory created to explain the characteristics of an electric. It’s a THEORY… again?! Show me facts please.
THEORY is only an IMAGINATION until proven otherwise with concrete evidences to support it… sheeples..!!!
Virologist Richard K. Burt also same s FRED FLINTSTONES cartoon character.
He is an accident-prone and his mundane actions often cause widespread confusion. Of course for self-fish benefits & gains..!!
Rubbish. See Sasha Latypova for the evidence with receipts. Covid was executed by the U.S. DOD, NATO, etc. Covid was a strategic release of a toxin, followed by the Patriot Act declaration of a national threat using a counter weapon under the guise of Emergency Use Authorization. No testing no liability. Created by the military, distributed by Pharma. Any other explanation is controlled opposition.
Hi Andy, guard your mind against idolising any one person to the extent you ignore/dismiss all others’ opinions, experience, evidence or testimony.
Sasha Latypova is a human being, she is not infallible.
Additionally, the full truth is seldom as clear cut as a one man/woman perspective/narrative. In an operation as vast and complex as covid, there can be many facts all true at the same time because to achieve it required thousands of people from many walks of life working on it for years (perhaps decades) in up to 190 of countries.
Shutting down debate and opinions/evidence with remarks such as “any other explanation [apart from your own] is controlled opposition” is a similar tactic used by those who pushed the covid PsyOp to censor and persecute those who spoke out against it. On the face of it, the only difference I can see between you and “them” is that you use the term “controlled opposition” to shut down differing opinions/evidence while the covid criminals used/use the terms “conspiracy theorist” and “anti-vaxxer.”
Resist the temptation of turning into one of “them.”
The covid might be considered complex (as you say) because all kind of opinions are aloud. It seems like all the different are there on purpose. The purpose is to hide the truth. Because there never was any new virus. Or any virus at all. Latypova is not just one single woman narrative. Actually she and others are the only ones that give evidence for their evidence. Andy is right.
Hi Kjetil, many truths can be true at the same time. So for example, Sasha Latypova and Dr. Bryan Ardis and Dr. David Martin and Dr. Richard Fleming and Dr. Judy Makovitz and Dr. Richard Burt can all be correct all at the same time. They are all giving different perspectives of the same thing, providing different pieces of the same puzzle.
Let’s take example of the contents of the covid vaccines. The reason why independent researchers were finding different things in the vaccines is because vaccine batches were not equal. They were conducting experiments within an experiment. They were experimenting on people by changing doses and ingredients to see what would happen. Do you recall the meticulous noting of the batch number people were vaccinated with? Did you not ask yourself why?
So there is no point arguing that a researcher in Spain has found xx and so all vaccines worldwide had xx in them and only xx in them and any one claiming anything else is “controlled opposition.” Or a researcher in the USA found xxy, so all vaccines had xxy in them and any one claiming any thing else is “controlled opposition.” Because both researchers are correct at the same time. to argue that one is correct while the other is “controlled opposition” is doing exactly what they want us to do – divide and conquer.
Be wary of anyone who claims to know the whole truth and discounts/dismisses everyone and everything else as “controlled opposition” or some other mantra intended to label and degrade – this is classic signs of narrative building for a PsyOp.
The key to discovering the full extent of what they did and are doing, and who was involved and is involved, is to allow people to freely voice their opinions/evidence and allow open debates, without fear or favour. I don’t believe that the full extent of what they have done has yet come out. New evidence will come to light for many years to come (even as far ahead as in a generation’s or more time), and we shouldn’t dismiss it simply because of a personal belief or faith in any one/single particular person or idea.
If you want to know the real truth about the plandemic scam, read the book by Dr. Brian Ardis.
https://www.amazon.com.be/-/en/Moving-Beyond-Covid-19-Lies-Restoring/dp/1961641224
Plandemia was simulated with snake and other animal poisons.
Already in January 2020, a month and a half before the announcement, Chinese scientists from Peking University discovered traces of snake venom in the blood of the so-called infected.
CNN also wrote about it
In April, the same discovery was made by a group of scientists led by Jean-Pierre Changeux from the University of Paris. They proposed nicotine as an antidote.
In the summer of the same year, a group of scientists under the auspices of the European Commission led by Carlo Brobna found traces of as many as 36 snake and animal poisons in the blood, feces and urine of those suffering from that mysterious disease.
This is the real truth of plandemics and viruses, which, as some of the commentators said, do not exist as pathogens.
In the second part of that monstrous project, DNA plasmids were inserted into the bodies of frightened people via vaccines, which, when found in the blood, attach to the bacterium Escherichia coli and program it to produce snake venom.
All this was shown in an elegant way by Dr. Brian Ardis in the mentioned book, using materials taken from the websites of the world’s most respected scientific institutes.
Finally something we can all agree on:
The COVID-19 pathogen never existed on Earth 🙃
And I’m not sure I would vouch for Fauci or Fouchier (or even Fauciest).
Sorry, I’ll stop commenting…
Hi No offense But I find it odd that this Richard Burt guy Speaks against vaccines and Then says Millions of people were helped by vaccines ,,
I am so glad my mom told me in 1975 at age nine years old She would kill me and Disown,,
Glad I listened to my mom…
