"Please stand by."
Yet that’s what a neurobiologist from the University of Pittsburgh says. Dr. Jonathan J. Couey was one of the founders of DRASTIC, the "Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating Covid-19." Composed of an online cadre of international scientists, DRASTIC has maintained the lab leak theory of Covid origin, and have been rewarded by being published in prestigious media outlets.
But now Couey has broken with DRASTIC, insisting that he was fooled into believing that Covid emerged from a lab leak. He now believes that the theory is controlled opposition, or a "double bluff." Why? It’s so elites can maintain a perpetual state of pandemic emergency.
For that Couey says he was kicked out of DRASTIC. He lost friendships among his former colleagues. And Dr. Robert Malone — a major player among the anti-vax crowd — snubbed him and invited another colleague to his ranch to hobnob and confer on Covid.
Attorney Michael P. Senger, a longtime Covid-watcher and author of the book Snake Oil: How Xi Jinping Shut Down the World (which I highly recommend; Senger brings receipts) presented Couey’s theory in his Substack "The New Normal." Senger wrote:
"The testimony of DRASTIC founder J.J. Couey provides powerful firsthand insight into the perpetuation of the lab leak theory as a controlled opposition narrative."
So are you ready to take the red pill?
IF NOT A LAB LEAK, THEN WHAT?
In a podcast, Couey talked about how he had been a strong believer in the lab leak theory, even from February, 2020. He thought he had solved the mystery of Covid’s origins. But then he said he was "Scooby-Doo’d."
"They essentially made us believe that by censoring the lab leak it had to be true, because the emails say that Fauci was covering it up, the furin cleavage site says that it must be a lab leak ... before I realized what I think happened to me and a lot of us is we were tricked into believing something that’s not biologically true..."
Couey now believes that the coronavirus pandemic is an illusion. Numbers and data had been fudged by recoding ordinary mortality as "Covid deaths." And then there’s the PCR test for Covid — the supposed gold standard diagnostic tool — which was so non-specific that it was vulnerable to false positives.
Remember how the late Dr. Kary Mullis, who had invented the PCR test, said it was no good for diagnosing anything?

Personally, I remain agnostic on this. As far as conspiracy theories go, I’m an Occam’s Razor kind of girl. I’ve lived to see all sorts of deceptions, from QAnon and the 9/11 false flag theory all the way back to Paul McCartney-is-Dead and the granddaddy of all 20th century myths — the JFK assassination theories.
But I look back at the past two-and-a-half years of Covid and see how so much of what we were told has been bunkum. Remember "two weeks to slow the spread?" And that at first we didn’t need masks, and then we did? That Covid-19 came from a wet market, and if you said it came from a lab you were a racist? Then they told us that a vaccine would fix everything, and stop the spread, only to tell us that we needed a booster. And another. And now a new version of a vaccine to cover Omicron — which is little more than a bad cold.
Twitter user @LLadany compiled the evolution of the pandemic idiocracy in a long thread which you can see here. It’s truly brilliant. Fortunately the Twitter censors didn’t ban it, like they did the accounts of others who strayed from the pandemic narrative.
So no, I don’t know if Dr. Jonathan Couey is correct — I don’t have the credibility to scientifically assess what he says. But after the bullshit we’ve endured for nearly three years, I wouldn’t be surprised if he were that lone voice crying truth in the wilderness.
