The attack of the invisible force
of ‘Covidism’ is worse than the terrorism of all manifestations. Covidism has now
become a bigger symbol of terror in society than terrorism. It has crippled
life with multiple fears for us and our loved ones. It will not be wrong to say
that it has engulfed more lives as compared to World War I and II. This
Covidism has assumed the automatic role of biowarfare without any formal
command behind it and even the world powers are helplessly unable to defend
themselves with all their ultra-modern and mighty antidotes. Should we consider
the emergence of this monster as the ‘Will of God’ or ‘a design of an evil
genius’ with ulterior motives? Let us see how this Covidism unfolds in the near
future.
Presently, the world is passing
through this pandemic, and dealing with this invisible enemy. It has challenged
the fragile healthcare system of our country whereas Covid is multiplying its
victims rapidly. The available medical facilities are unable to cope with the
growing number of victims. There have been multiple doubts on the creation of
Covid-19; whether it is a man-made or natural virus and a clear investigative
verdict must its real origin and nature. I would like to name this more lethal
virus of ‘Covidism’ being more dangerous and uncontrollable. This deadly virus
is proving to be worse than terrorists.
World leaders, based on some
evidence of biowarfare had pre-empted fear of biological warfare and had made
deliberation for a very long time which resulted in the ‘UN Convention on
Biological Weapons, 1975’ which was signed by the whole world. The Biological
Weapons Convention (BWC) is a legally-binding treaty that outlaws biological
arms, and after being discussed and negotiated in the United Nations’
disarmament forum starting in 1969, the BWC opened for signature on April 10,
1972, and entered into force on March 26, 1975. The Convention has reached
almost universal membership with 183 States as Parties and four Signatory
States. The BWC effectively prohibits the development, production, acquisition,
transfer, stockpiling, and use of biological and toxin weapons. It was the
first multilateral disarmament treaty banning an entire category of weapons of
mass destruction (WMD). The BWC is a key element in the international
community’s efforts to address WMD proliferation and it has established a
strong norm against biological weapons. Bio virus warfare falls under the same
category. The salient features of BWC define as bellow:
The BWC bans the development,
stockpiling, acquisition, retention, and production of biological agents and
toxins ‘of types and in quantities that have no justification for prophylactic,
protective or other peaceful purposes’; weapons, equipment, and delivery
vehicles ‘designed to use such agents or toxins for hostile purposes or in
armed conflict;’ and the transfer of or assistance with acquiring the agents,
toxins, weapons, equipment, and delivery vehicles described above.
Unfortunately, like other treaties
of the UN, the BWC has also been flagrantly violated in the past by some
signatory states. The Soviet Union, a state-party and one of the convention’s
depositary states, maintained an enormous offensive biological weapons programme
after ratifying the BWC.
The BWC itself is comparatively
short, comprising only 15 articles. Over the years, it has been supplemented by
a series of additional understanding reached subsequent review conferences but
many States have been reported to have violated the treaty. Soon after the
outbreak of Covid-19, I wrote a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
on 4th April, to constitute a high-powered commission to probe if Covid-19 is a
man-made or a naturally grown virus and to locate its origin. I had suggested
that the proposed commission on Covid-19 under the UN Convention on Biological
Weapons, 1975 which might comprise virologists, scientists, professors,
researchers, analysts, and experts in the fields of microbiology and virology.
And the commission should present its report to the UN Secretary-General in
three months, and its ‘terms of reference’ (ToR) should include recommendations
to prevent future breakouts of such viruses, and international standards for coordination
in case of a breakout.
I also wrote to Mr Bill Gates to
assist the UN through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as he had given
categorical statements about such incoming virus while speaking at various
international forums. In my letter, I had demanded seven TORs for the UN
Commission on Covid-19, which include accurate identification of the
geo-location of the origin of Covid-19, identification of areas with zero
patient, discovery as to why the behaviour, intensity, and fertility rate of
Covid-19 varies from country to country; investigation whether Covid-19 is a
man-made or naturally-grown virus and examination of the allegations of
transportation of the virus from one place to other destinations in the world,
as ‘biological warfare tactics. This was acknowledged by SG UN but so far no
outcome has been seen which is highly alarming as to why no investigation into
the nature of this virus has been ordered. Soon after my letter to the UN Secretary-General,
many internationally renowned virologists and biologists contacted me and
discussed the issue in detail, and they had shown their apprehensions too about
the nature of COVID-19 whether it is man-made or naturally grown.
Nobel Laureate and Distinguished
Professor Tasuku Honjo of the Kyoto University Institute of Advanced Study,
reportedly, has stated that all indicators of the COVID-19 suggest that it is a
man-made virus. He has given his opinion that, from its behaviour, it does not
look to be a natural virus and without naming any country, he has shown his
professional opinion on the nature of the virus. He has even claimed that in
case he is proven wrong, he will surrender his Nobel Prize and if he is not
proven right then the Government of Japan withdraws his award post his death.
Many claims, speculations, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about
Covid-19’s zero-patient and continuous mutation are also being circulated in various
forms. It is a big question as to why the United Nations has not initiated
inquiry through a high-powered commission to probe Covid-19 to overrule all the
doubts and apprehensions which is creating uncertainty and unrest among the
global masses as this virus is muting into different forms whereas so far
invented vaccines are becoming ineffective.
Pakistan is facing the effects of
Covidism more than any other country as it has almost crippled our economy,
development sector, foreign investment, and foreign growth rate. Pandemic’s
economic fallout has considerably derailed the country’s financial recovery
process. It has done irreversible damage to the value of our currency. It would
not be wrong to state that Covidism is a phenomenon that is killing the people,
affecting all walks of life, and crippling natural growth extensively.
Terrorism creates terror among the
masses whereas Covidism is also creating a wave of terror and it looks like a
force of invisible tiny terrorists has invaded our country and the world.
Earlier, Pakistan suffered heavily
in the hands of the American War on Terror which was apparently for
International Peace but instead of getting any credit for its active
participation and the numerous sacrifices, our country was subjected to
harassment at the hands of FATF. India also took advantage and launched proxy
and hybrid wars in various parts of Pakistan including Balochistan and
initiated negative propaganda internationally which was well exposed by EU
Disinfo Lab.
While we were suffering both from
terrorism at home and international harassment. We have this alien attack by
Covidism and we hardly got any support from the west despite knowing that
Pakistan has suffered heavily in the war on terror imposed by the USA. The
phenomenal Covidism is not only affecting states but also affecting the common
man and as a nation, unfortunately, we have not taken it seriously. We failed
to have taken extraordinary necessary measures to boost our National Health
Services by establishing hospitals, legislation for strict implementation of
SOPs, development of own vaccines, and import of sufficient vaccines in time
and I had advised the above measures in mid-December 2020. We as a nation had
shown total irresponsibility by not overbearing the Covid SOPs.
For Pakistan, it is important to witness the worst situation after the third wave of Covid-19 in neighbouring India and take indispensable measures on war footings to control its devastation if the same wave hits Pakistan. We need to take short term and long term measures to protect our people. I had earlier proposed a well-designed strategy as a policy response to Covid-19 on the lines of the Singapore Virology Division, to be devised to cope with the mounting threat of the third wave of Covid-19. The virology division may undertake to make underground hospitals fully equipped with all modern instruments, laboratories, and highly trained scientists, doctors, and paramedics wherein not only Covid-19 and other viral diseases could be treated but also research on Covid-19 and other viruses.
Let me warn the nation based on
advanced research that Covid is not going to leave us soon, hence we need to
change our way of life and adopt the way and means to protect ourselves and our
loved ones.
There will be the fourth wave of this
virus mutating into yet another form and hence we must prepare ourselves to
face this growing danger from this muted Covidism; a more deadly enemy than any
biowarfare attack. I leave the question for the government decision-makers to
take the nation into confidence if we have any defence line for such a
biowarfare attack by the enemy.
