According to US investigators, for the last six years ‘Chinese scientists have been preparing for a Third World War fought with biological and genetic weapons’; these weapons include the Coronavirus, and the document obtained by the US State Department, entitled ‘New Species of Man-made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons’ - highlighted in The Australian in a book review of What Really Happened in Wuhan in The Australian - showed that ‘People’s Liberation Army scientists and health officials examine

The brilliant new ‘male Pill’: too good to be true?
