On this day 5 years ago, a Chinese researcher submitted the coronavirus sequence to a genetic database, GenBank, run by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Documents obtained from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by a House committee and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show that a Chinese researcher in Beijing uploaded a nearly complete sequence of the virus’s structure to a U.S. government-run database on Dec. 28, 2019. China only shared the virus’s sequence with the World Health Organization on Jan. 11, 2020, according to U.S. government timelines of the pandemic.
Soon after the WHO reports, Western social media began to be flooded with short
videos of ‘fallers’ from China.

The same thing happened in all of them - people just fell down in the middle of the street and lay down, then doctors came running, wrapped from head to toe, and took the fallen person to the intensive care car. These videos can still be found on the Internet, although there are fewer and fewer of them left. The falls were explained by the fact that this is how the ‘new deadly virus’ works.
These videos stopped appearing as soon as unprecedented political and economic restrictions were adopted. Although, if the media is to be believed, the covid was just gaining momentum and raging in many countries - not once else has such a video appeared, nowhere else have people fallen in the middle of the street.
At the same time, according to
official statistics, in the first 5 months after the coronavirus appeared in China, about 5000 people died from it there, and in the next two years - only 5 people. About 500 more deaths were added to these statistics soon after the outbreak of the SMO, when the topic of the coronavirus in the media went into the background.
It's worth noting that a Rockefeller Foundation report published about 15 years ago described the
Lock Step scenario as establishing ‘a world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen resistance’ through a burgeoning global pandemic:
The pandemic also had a deadly effect on economies: international mobility of both people and goods screeched to a halt, debilitating industries like tourism and breaking global supply chains. Even locally, normally bustling shops and office buildings sat empty for months, devoid of both employees and customers.
However, a few countries did fare better — China in particular. The Chinese government’s quick imposition and enforcement of mandatory quarantine for all citizens, as well as its instant and near-hermetic sealing off of all borders, saved millions of lives, stopping the spread of the virus far earlier than in other countries and enabling a swifter post-pandemic recovery.
China’s government was not the only one that took extreme measures to protect its citizens from risk and exposure. During the pandemic, national leaders around the world flexed their authority and imposed airtight rules and restrictions, from the mandatory wearing of face masks to body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces like train stations and supermarkets.
Driven by protectionism and national security concerns, nations create their own independent, regionally defined IT networks, mimicking China’s firewalls. Governments have varying degrees of success in policing internet traffic, but these efforts nevertheless fracture the “World Wide” Web.
It is worth noting that before the coronavirus emerged, some countries, such as the UK and the US, had made preparations for a global pandemic in advance, such as the secret
exercise Alice modelling the consequences of a coronavirus outbreak, or
SPARS Pandemic 2025-2028, a pandemic planning exercise that advised on how to deal with the ‘communication problems’ of a vaccination campaign once the public realised it was causing more damage than the disease itself.
That said, 10 years before the coronavirus pandemic, WHO and much of the world's media promoted an H1N1 influenza pandemic, but in that case they
did not achieve the desired result:
The Council of Europe launched an investigation into whether the World Health Organization "faked" the swine flu pandemic to boost profits for vaccine manufacturers. The inquiry, held in Strasbourg, France, vindicates a worldwide movement of insiders, experts, and elected officials who accuse the United Nations organization of misleading the world into buying millions of unnecessary vaccines.
Perhaps the pharmaceutical success of the coronavirus pandemic, relative to the failure of the swine flu pandemic, is related to the widespread use of Internet technologies in recent years. The promotion of the swine flu pandemic was based almost entirely on traditional media, while the promotion of the coronavirus pandemic made heavy use of modern
SEO SMM technologies: in messengers and social networks, between conversations with loved ones and acquaintances, users were often exposed to clips of Chinese crisis actors falling in the streets, presumably due to a dangerous new contagion. Later, with the advent of vaccines, media medical representatives began to actively promote relevant pharmaceutical products.
Although the development and promotion of global pandemics itself has been a clear national effort by the UK and the US, attention can be drawn to the ambiguous involvement of the Russian Federation in this whole agenda. For example, on Russian central television during the swine flu pandemic, news reports told the public that ‘
the new flu pandemic may turn out to be a grand hoax’. In the early months of the coronavirus pandemic, reports circulated in Western media that ‘
Russian accounts were influencing the anti-vaxxer community’ and ‘
pro-Kremlin disinformation about Covid-19’ was
frequently reported.
But it was in the Russian Federation that the first vaccine against the new disease appeared on the market under the brand name
Sputnik V, clearly echoing
Sputnik 5, the spacecraft that sent dogs into space for experimental purposes and successfully brought them back, supposedly ushering in the era of manned space exploration.
