Is the Illuminati behind the coronavirus ?

A video on YouTube details a claimed timeline of the virus’ propagation, stating that the pandemic is false and carried out by ‘the Illuminati’, consisting of Bill and Melinda Gates, the Rotschilds, the UK monarchy, the EU and the UN along with other actors.

The video further claims that the purpose of this group is to take down US President Donald Trump by attacking the Chinese economy, and that this group is using the coronavirus as a cover up to shut down countries and airports, as well as leading mass arrests of politicians and celebrities, such as actor Tom Hanks and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife. Finally, the video urges everyone to take out their savings as the internet will be shut down and banks will then not function properly.

Conspiracy 1: The COVID-19 pandemic was planned.

Everything about the COVID-19 pandemic is confusing, starting with how it has been named.

The first misunderstanding, which led to the emergence of several different conspiracy theories, is quite a fundamental one. Most people had never heard the term ‘coronavirus’ before the pandemic. Surprisingly, we are already intimately familiar with milder strains of coronaviruses, which we experience in the form of common colds every winter. These seasonal coronaviruses have been documented in humans as far back as 1976. Animals are also highly susceptible to coronaviruses and several strains are known to be carried by cows, pigs, horses, and bats.

Due to so many different strains of animal coronaviruses circulating in livestock, vaccines for animal coronaviruses have existed for several years. Many cleaning products are also labeled as designed to kill ‘coronaviruses’ from surfaces. Some people have wrongly assumed that the existence of these cleaning products and vaccines means that somehow manufacturers were warned about the pandemic or that a secret cure for COVID-19 already exists.

To break it down:

· SARS-CoV-2 virus is a brand-new strain of coronavirus that only started circulating in the human population in late 2019.

· COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is the name of the disease people develop after being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

· SARS-CoV-2 is the only coronavirus strain that caused the COVID-19 pandemic.

· SARS-CoV-2 is different from other coronavirus strains because it is a brand-new type of coronavirus.

· SARS-CoV-2 is much more dangerous than the milder coronavirus strains and we are still learning how it transmits and affects the human body.

After an earlier coronavirus strain (SARS-CoV) led to the SARS scare in 2003, many organisations started conducting hypothetical ‘pandemic planning’ events to try and prepare for the next contagious disease outbreak. One of the most vocal people with concerns was Bill Gates, who gave a TED talk in 2015 warning us that the world was not prepared for the next pandemic. His TED talk has now been used as proof that he was somehow behind this pandemic, but fortunately, Full Fact, an independent fact-checking charity, has debunked this theory.

Research into coronaviruses has been funded for over 20 years:

Conspiracy 2: The virus was engineered by humans or it escaped from a laboratory.

Rumours that the virus was engineered in a lab have been circulating since January, despite any concrete evidence supporting these claims.

These rumours were further fuelled by the Trump administration accusing the Chinese government, and Chinese officials accusing the US army. Unfortunate coincidences, such as the proximity between the Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratory and the Wuhan seafood market, led some people to believe the virus may have escaped from the lab into the market.

To clarify any doubts on the possible “non-natural” origin of the virus, a group of infectious disease researchers, from a non-profit medical research organisation in the US, decided to investigate the genetic sequence of the virus. By looking at the DNA sequence they were able to determine, without any doubt, that the virus naturally evolved in animals, with the most likely culprits being bats or pangolins.

Another study published in May further confirmed that the virus likely originated in bats and then jumped to pangolins. A worldwide genetic analysis of humans carrying the virus has very strong evidence that the virus jumped to humans in November or December of 2019.

While it may seem strange that a bat virus could somehow jump to humans, via pangolins no less, bats regularly fly over human homes and nest in urban areas, while pangolins are consumed as a delicacy or used for medicinal purposes throughout Asia and Africa.

As early as 2015, one study found that 3% of Chinese villagers living close to bat caves were carrying antibodies to a similar, less contagious, version of coronavirus, similar to SARS-COV-2.

In 2012, six miners in China contracted a pneumonia-like disease and two died, from a mine shaft infested with different bat species and bat coronaviruses.

Notably, there are no published studies that have been able to contradict these findings or suggest otherwise.

Conspiracy 3: 5G caused the COVID-19 pandemic

The theory supporting the association between 5G and COVID-19 emphasises the false link between the first outbreak in Wuhan coinciding with the rollout of 5G in the city.

In fact, many cities in China (and throughout the world) had been involved in the 5G rollout prior to the outbreak in Wuhan. Genetic studies have also shown that COVID-19 spread to different countries via air travel.

Another incorrect premise of the 5G theory is that 5G weakens the immune system’s cellular defence, making people more vulnerable to COVID-19. Let’s take a look at the science behind this…

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. It is well known that ionizing radiation becomes more dangerous as frequencies increase (such as UVA and UVB rays in sunlight) and that this radiation can damage DNA, and repeated DNA damage over time can lead to cancer (such as too much exposure to X-rays).

In contrast, non-ionizing radiation is not powerful enough to penetrate and damage our DNA. 5G technology is non-ionizing radiation and its frequency lies between microwaves and remote controls on the electromagnetic spectrum (see the graph below).

Although 5G is higher on the non-ionizing spectrum than 3G and 4G technology, it is still not powerful enough to alter DNA. For those who still believe that the high frequencies of non-ionizing radiation are dangerous, they should logically be much more concerned about lightbulbs, which emit much higher frequencies than 5G (and we all know that lightbulbs are safe).

Unfortunately, most people’s fears about mobile phone radiation is based on an early (and now widely discredited) study that used flawed data to find a strong association between radiation and tissue damage.

While there is a lack of high-quali into overall mobile phone safety, even after decades of exposure to mobile phone radiation there has not been a marked increase in the prevalence of brain tumours and cancers, meaning that if there is any risk from mobile phone use it would likely be weak and inconsistent.
