Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) treaty allows governments to produce “the most dangerous pathogens” for alleged “peaceful uses,” like vaccine development.
The ‘Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and On Their Destruction,’ known as the ‘Biological Weapons Convention’ (BWC), was opened for signature in April 1972 and took effect in March 1975.
With nearly 200 countries joining the group so far, the BWC serves as the cornerstone of the international framework for regulating biological arms.
A bioweapon, or biological weapon, is a disease-causing organism or toxin intended to harm or kill humans, animals, or plants.
These weapons, which include viruses, bacteria, fungi, and toxic substances, are intended to spread diseases and cause extensive harm.
Deadly and devastating, bioweapons are generally prohibited under international law.
The BWC treaty was “designed to ban biological weapons by prohibiting the development, production, and stockpiling of biological agents as well as related equipment and delivery systems that are intended for hostile use,” according to a 2003 report from the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), an international nonprofit security organization focused on reducing nuclear and biological threats.
NTI summarizes how the BWC:
- forbids States Parties from developing, producing, stockpiling, or otherwise acquiring biological agents or toxins that have no justification for peaceful or defensive purposes;
- forbids States Parties from developing, producing, stockpiling, or otherwise acquiring equipment to deliver biological agents or toxins for hostile purposes;
- obligates States Parties to destroy or divert to peaceful purposes their existing stocks of prohibited items;
- forbids States Parties from transferring prohibited items to anyone or otherwise helping in the manufacture or acquisition of biological weapons;
- protects the rights of States Parties to exchange equipment, materials, and scientific and technological information for peaceful purposes in order to avoid hampering their economic and technological development;
- commits States Parties to cooperate in solving any problems through consultation and in carrying out any investigation initiated by the UN Security Council; and
- commits States Parties to provide assistance to others that have been attacked using biological weapons.
However, the BWC does not ban the use of biological weapons outright.
Whether a bioweapon is prohibited or allowed to be developed is a matter of “purpose.”
The BWC distinguishes between developing bioweapons for “peaceful” or “hostile” purposes.
Article I of the treaty gives countries the “right” to maintain biological weapons for alleged “prophylactic, protective, or other peaceful” purposes, like vaccine development.
“Countries are allowed to develop medicines and vaccines to combat naturally occurring outbreaks of diseases as well as defensive measure[s] to combat the effects of biological weapons,” NTI explains.
This gives governments all over the world the ability to experiment with “the most dangerous pathogens and toxins” known to man.
“Even the most dangerous pathogens and toxins cannot be banned outright because of their dual-use nature, including the development of vaccines as well as other peaceful uses such as the employment of botulinum toxin for cosmetic and medical therapy,” according to NTI.
That governments are allowed to develop both the problem, a dangerous virus, and the solution, a vaccine for that virus, simultaneously, raises the possibility of a conflict of interest.
This is because the same entities responsible for addressing the crisis also have a vested interest in its continuation for the sake of vaccine development, distribution, and sale.
Questions are raised about world governments’ potentially nefarious intentions behind bioweapons and corresponding vaccine development.
Yale’s Dr. Reich Claims COVID Virus Bioengineered by Gov’t Bioweapons Industry Via BWC ‘Loophole’
Last month, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) led a roundtable discussion titled, “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel: What Are They Hiding?”
During the roundtable, a panel of experts discussed how federal health agencies, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and mainstream media engaged in “censorship and coverups” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The meeting aimed to “shine a light on the failures and corruption of the global elite and their institutions.”
One of the speakers, Dr. Harvey Reich (MD, PhD), argued that the SARS‑CoV‑2 that causes the disease COVID-19 is a “bioengineered” product of the government weapons industry.
Dr. Reich is Professor Emeritus and Senior Research Scientist in Epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health.
This weapons industry “exploited” what Reich characterizes as a “loophole” in the BWC treaty that allows governments to develop bioweapons under certain circumstances.
He explained how the COVID virus that “leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in fall 2019” contained a “unique 19 nucleotide genetic sequence that also exists in Moderna patents from 2017 and various other biological and spy intelligence.”
“The COVID-19 pandemic virus exists because it was bioengineered,” Reich stated.
The doctor pointed out how COVID research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) was funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Defense.
“This work and the WIV leak was what I consider to be the fruit of our bioweapons industry that has been performing secretive and nefarious biological weapons development for the last 70 years,” Reich said.
The BWC treaty “prohibits the development of offensive bioweapons. However, the one loophole in the treaty is that small quantities of offensive bioweapons are allowed to be developed in order to do research on vaccine countermeasures.”
“This loophole was then exploited by our bioweapons industry for the last 50 years. The Bioweapons Treaty limited offensive bioweapons to agents that would address vaccine development, so-called dual-use agents or dual-use research. And this was the premise and motivation of the various virology grant applications,” he said.
“This was the permitted rationale for the development of offensive bioweapons, in that it would lead to work on vaccine countermeasures.”
Reich went on to state that the “forced [COVID] vaccination of the entire planet” was “orchestrated to protect the integrity of the bioweapons industry.”
“Once the general public understood the reckless and cavalier behavior of this industry that it operated under a false and misrepresented pretense of vaccine development that has never been successfully commercially realized, it would then clamor to shut down the industry,” he said.
According to Reich, the drastic COVID vaccination efforts were the result of the weapons industry justifying its bioweapons development.
He believes “the reason why the whole population had to be vaccinated” was to “show that the bioweapons industry supposedly did have a rationale of vaccine development as part of its claimed dual-use research.”
“The vaccines, then, are the evidence that the bioweapons industry was properly justified from the beginning,” he said. “Without a successful vaccine to show for itself in the time of a pandemic crisis, especially one caused by a leak from a bioweapons industry source itself, it would be clear to everyone that the rationale for the industry’s existence was a fraud in the first place.”
The COVID vaccines “themselves supplied the defense against the charge that the bioweapons industry was not actually dual use, but offensive only, violating the 1975 treaty. So the vaccines had to be dramatically pushed out to be the universal solution to show that the bioweapons industry was actually working for the public good.”
“And in this context, It did not matter what collateral damage the vaccines caused. All there had to be was the public thinking, public thought of this theater, that the industry had been doing its worst work to produce usable vaccines, not offensive bioweapons.”
