A huge upswing has been seen in China’s corona infections, but it is different this time.  There are now new concerns about the contagious new variant EG.5. If you are waiting to get the real story from mainstream media – good luck. That might be a long wait.

The United States is reportedly re-introducing new covid travel restrictions next month, such as wearing masks on airplanes and in airports.

But things are different this time – much different – and there are three reasons why:

FIRST: There has been a serious breakdown of public trust, especially as it relates to the World Health Organization (WHO). According the WHO, fewer nations are reporting covid infection numbers to the WHO.

SECOND: During the previous Covid-19 outbreak in January of 2020, the WHO clearly coordinated with China in hiding the spread of the disease and, in their early reports, blatantly warned against restricting travel or trade to or from China; a policy measure that is clearly outside of their authority. There is zero evidence that this policy to protect China has changed. The Director-General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, is part of the Communist Party and a member of a radical Communist group from Ethiopia, deemed a terrorist organization by the United States. Tedros is the first person to hold the position of Director-General without being a medical doctor and is in China’s good graces.

THIRD: We are able to look back in reflection and see more clearly several things that were considered to be ‘scientific’ that simply were not, like – the virus came from bats, lockdowns work, masks work, vaccines are safe and effective.

Let’s be honest. Most of the things that we were fed during the COVID-19 pandemic was absolute garbage and was pushed by fear peddling governments. Who wants to listen to it?

Back to Jerusalem is a Chinese ministry, not a news agency, and that is why we have been at ground zero since day one. As a ministry, we use all of our resources to update our supporters, readers, and prayer partners with the most accurate information possible.

Back to Jerusalem teams and partners work in China and were among the first to sound the alarm in January 2020. While most mainstream media news anchors and reporters have never been to China and have no sources on the ground, they basically told you what the Chinese government wanted you to hear.

With the new coronavirus variant from China, things are not as they seem. There are FIVE primary things that we know about the EG.5 variant:

1. The variant does not seem to be any more deadly than the original variant.
2. The Chinese vaccinations have not been effective and vaccinations that are not effective often lead to virus mutations.
3. China is not reporting the real numbers of those infected. That is no surprise. They never have.
4. The coronavirus seems to be a leak from a Chinese virus lab working on ‘gain of function.’ There have been secret labs run by China still working on ‘gain of function.’ Gain of function has been primarily banned in the west because of the likelihood of viral escapes and it might be that China might not have learned their lesson. It seems that China might have continued running secret labs doing research on ‘gain of function’ in extremely unsafe environments.
5. The EG.5 virus is ironically called the Eris. Eris is also the name of the greek goddess of strife and discord.

All of the information that BTJ shared in the earliest months of the coronavirus outbreak has stood the test of time and proven to be correct and if there is another outbreak or pandemic response in the future, we will attempt to do the same.
