They’re Blaming Bats - Again!!

The way most narratives unfold tends to involve the mainstream media providing the official narrative with the alternative media providing the counter-narrative.

We are therefore given the impression that we need to make a choice between these 2 options as if they represent the only viewpoints on the subject. In other words, we are given a choice from each ‘side’ that equates to: ‘you’re either with us or against us’.

In the majority of cases this is a false dichotomy, because there are usually other options.

The narrative about ‘Covid’ is a case in point. The 2 options we’ve been offered are: that it was caused by a natural ‘virus’ - the mainstream view - or that it was a ‘lab-created virus’ - the alternative media view.

The truth is that neither of them is correct, because they both rely on the underlying assumption that there are such entities as ‘pathogenic viruses’. However, as many of us have been explaining for the past 3 years and more, there is no evidence for the existence of ‘pathogenic viruses’. It is important to also emphasise that there is no evidence for the existence of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, or parasites either!

It is clear that there is an agenda to maintain the belief in ‘pathogens’ of one sort or another, which is why it is important to keep exposing the narratives that make such claims, however they are framed - and the establishment is definitely finding new ways of framing their stories.

Which brings me to the reason for writing about bats!

A deeper aspect of the ‘Covid’ narrative is the idea that so-called ‘viruses’ can jump between species and that the diseases they are alleged to cause can therefore be transmitted from animals to humans; such ‘diseases’ are referred to as zoonotic. The WHO Zoonoses fact sheet defines a ‘zoonosis’ as,

“…any disease or infection that is naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans.”

Why is this relevant you may ask. There are, in fact, a number of reasons.

An important clue to some of those reasons can be found in the statement on the WHO fact sheet that,

“They represent a major public health problem around the world due to our close relationship with animals in agriculture, as companions and in the natural environment.”

The idea that ‘diseases’ are a matter of ‘public health’ is erroneous. Health problems are always unique to the individual experiencing the symptoms that are referred to as ‘diseases’, which are simply different combinations of symptoms that, for the most part, represent the body’s efforts to self-heal.

However, the false idea that we can affect the health of other people - a key factor in the ‘Covid’ narrative - serves the purposes of the ‘would-be controllers’ to further their agenda.

This is not just a matter of refuting the existence of pathogenic ‘viruses’ because, as mentioned above and as the WHO asserts,

“Zoonotic pathogens may be bacterial, viral or parasitic…”

Some further key points can be found in the following paragraph of the WHO fact sheet,

“Zoonoses comprise a large percentage of all newly identified infectious diseases as well as many existing ones. Some diseases, such as HIV, begin as a zoonosis but later mutate into human-only strains. Other zoonoses can cause recurring disease outbreaks, such as Ebola virus disease and salmonellosis. Still others, such as the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, have the potential to cause global pandemics.”

It’s interesting to note that ‘HIV’ is now referred to as a disease whereas it is merely the name given to a particle that is erroneously regarded as a ‘pathogenic virus’. Furthermore, although it is claimed that HIV originated as a simian ‘virus’, known as SV40, this has never been proven.

This all may raise the question: Why am I focusing on bats when there are clearly many other animals that have been implicated as ‘hosts’ for zoonotic diseases?

My inspiration came from a 9th July article on the BBC website entitled Ghana's batmen hunting for pandemic clues that begins with this statement,

“Bats are essential to the world's ecosystems, but they are known carriers of several viruses. Humans are increasingly encroaching upon their habitats, adding to the risk of new pandemics, so scientists are studying bats for any clues about how to prevent any new outbreaks.”

The reference to ‘known carriers of several viruses’ and ‘new pandemics’ were the key phrases that piqued my interest!

It is obvious from the article they are expecting (read planning) a new ‘outbreak’ that will become another ‘pandemic’ (read plandemic); as can be seen by the reference to ‘a team of scientists from the University of Ghana's veterinary school’ who are working at Accra zoo with a very specific purpose in mind,

“They are involved in an international effort to predict the next pandemic and even in the extreme heat of Ghana's rainy season, they dress up in full PPE. They enter the enclosure and spread a white tarpaulin out on the ground.”

The mainstream media have clearly not rejected their initial narrative that so-called ‘Covid’ originated from bats - or that’s what they are telling us in order to keep us afraid!! It would seem though that the scientists also believe this narrative if they are prepared to dress up in full PPE.

Yet this notion is contradicted by other ‘scientists’, as can be seen by the headline of a 13th October 2020 BBC article Covid: Why bats are not to blame, say scientists. The article states that,

“Bat experts have launched a campaign, Don't Blame Bats, to dispel unfounded fears and myths about bats, which are threatening conservation. They say bats are some of the most misunderstood and undervalued animals on the planet.”

The question therefore remains as to why the media have chosen to keep bats as the ‘baddies’ in their script? Why are bats regarded as ‘evil’? Why are people afraid of them?

There is no clear answer, however, the July 2023 BBC article states,

“Much remains a mystery about these animals - the only mammals that fly - and their extraordinary immune systems. Somehow bats can carry many viruses but don't seem to get sick themselves.”

This raises the obvious question: If these viruses are so dangerous to people, why don’t they affect bats? The answer is, of course, that ‘viruses’ are not dangerous, which is why bats aren’t affected!!

The claim that bats have ‘extraordinary immune systems’ is woefully inadequate as an explanation. I would like to know what is their evidence for such a claim.

Ghana is not the only country investigating bats and so-called ‘transmissible pathogens’, as the article explains,

“Ghana has joined countries like Bangladesh and Australia as part of a global project called Bat OneHealth, which investigates how pathogens are transmitted from one species to another and what can be done to prevent so-called spillover events.”

Bat OneHealth is an organisation that, despite its name, does not solely focus on bats as the alleged hosts of ‘pathogenic agents’. Their purpose, according to their website, is stated as follows,

They also provide a rather endearing image of a bat, even though they are blaming these animals as the cause of devastation. The idea that bats are hosts of ‘zoonotic diseases’ is not only entirely unjustified but also completely unproven.

The July 2023 BBC article explains that Dr Suu-ire, the lead scientist in the University of Ghana’s veterinary school, and his team are studying the bats’ droppings, also known as guano, because they are,

“…also testing for superbugs in the bat droppings.”

The term ‘superbug’ is usually reserved for bacteria. Although bacteria have never been proven to cause disease, the reason for studying bat droppings is related to microbial resistance,

“Ultimately, what they are trying to find out is whether there is (sic) any bacteria in the bat faeces which is (sic) resistant to antibiotics.”

These scientists clearly believe in what they are doing, yet the article makes the revealing statement that,

“However, there are still many gaps in scientific understanding.”

Statements of this nature may be surprising to many people, but they are nevertheless quite common in the medical research literature; yet many scientists proceed regardless of the acknowledged existence of gaps in their understanding. From my research I would suggest that their knowledge of human health contains far more than just a few ‘gaps’; they are better described as huge chasms.

Other scientists at the University of Ghana led by Dr Kofi Amponsah-Mensah, an ecologist, are also conducting bat research, which involves direct observations that require these animals to be caught in nets,

“These nets allow him to catch some bats temporarily which he then examines, measures and finally releases back into the wild. As an ecologist, he worries about how humans are increasingly encroaching into bat habitats.”

The article adds that,

“He points out that deforestation rates in Ghana are high, with a lot of mining destroying vegetation which is the bats' natural habitat.

Dr Kofi Amponsah-Mensah is quoted as making this interesting comment,

"I think we are just using bats as scapegoats for areas where we have failed as people, because historically we didn't have a lot of these diseases emerging," he says.

I would agree that bats, and many other animals for that matter, are being used as scapegoats, although not for the same reasons as Dr Amponsah-Mensah, because, from my research, there is no evidence for the existence of any emerging diseases caused by pathogenic agents.

One point to emphasise here is that mining operations are recognised to be destructive to the environment. In addition, they usually bring various materials to the surface that are harmless if allowed to remain deep underground but harmful if brought to the surface, a situation that often causes contamination of soil, air, and water, which, in turn, leads to health problems in the vicinity of that contamination.

Nevertheless, despite the known hazards associated with mining operations, the establishment continues to insist that health problems caused by environmental contamination are ‘emerging diseases’ due to a pathogen of some description.

Although bats are often demonised, the BBC article that claims bats aren’t to blame for ‘Covid’, does highlight some of the beneficial functions of bats within the environment; namely

• Bats eat insects that can damage crops, so they are a natural form of insect control

• Hundreds of plant species rely on bats for pollination

Bats are obviously not the villain of the piece.

Interestingly, the article also makes an important point about environmental destruction in the comment that,

“When forests or grasslands are razed to graze cattle, to grow soy or to build roads and settlements, wild animals are forced ever closer to humans and livestock, giving viruses an opportunity to jump ship.”

The reason this is interesting is that it only refers to certain aspects of environmental destruction; aspects that suit the purposes of the agenda, such as cattle grazing and soy production. The general idea is to demonise certain human activities with a view to encouraging people to move off the land and into cities. And what better way to do this than to allege that animals can harbour pathogens that can be passed to humans; except that this allegation is unproven!

I would emphasise that environmental destruction is real, although not in the way we are told. I must add that I am not fear-mongering about the state of the environment; Nature is extremely resilient and eminently capable of self-healing, as are we.

One of the main purposes of the mainstream media articles of the type discussed here is to create and maintain fear about so-called ‘pathogens’ so that people will be encouraged to comply with the measures proposed by so-called ‘health authorities’, such as the WHO.

One of the main purposes of my articles is to dispel the fear by exposing the flaws and falsehoods reported in the mainstream media and, where appropriate, the alternative media too.

I’m not suggesting that my articles will or can dispel all fears - I’m not even suggesting that ‘fear’ in itself is ‘bad’. My intention is to help dispel unnecessary fears, such as those based on false ideas that bats, or any other animal, can spread ‘diseases’ caused by pathogenic ‘germs’.
