“Covid antibodies found in stored blood from Sept/Nov 2019 in European blood banks. The implications are enormous.
1. Long before the official start date, it was too late to stop the disease from spreading across the earth. We have wasted 2 years on lockdowns for nothing.

2. The pre-prints finding the virus in Nov/Dec 2019 in the Wuhan markets (reported breathlessly by the NYT) do not point to the true origin events of the virus. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/02/26/science/covid-virus-wuhan-origins.html [2/4]
3. The early seroprevalence studies that found a prevalence of 3%+ in large US metro centers are not so surprising in light of a Sept/Nov 2019 European start date. [https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2766367…](https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2766367) [3/4]
4. Why have the studies [@contrarian4data](https://mobile.twitter.com/contrarian4data) linked not received more attention from the press and scientific communities? [4/4]
