Dr. Nancy Messonnier text messages
These are text messages from Nancy to a guy called Frank. In the texts, Nancy admits that there are over a 1000 cases of coronavirus in 32 U.S. states. Nancy works for the CDC and is Rod Rosenstein's sister. Her older research had a focus on anthrax bacteria bioterrorism and vaccine complications (search for Nancy Rosenstein).
She never denied the texts were fabricated but hides replies to her Twitter and blocks people for asking about it.
Supposedly the son of Frank found these messages on his dad's phone and published them online. AFAIK the identity of Frank or his redacted wife's name have not been found.
What of the validity of these texts? It would make sense that there are more infected in the U.S. and it would make sense that the CDC does not want to operate in mass panic when combatting an "upcoming" pandemic.
I see 3 scenarios for now:
-
These texts are real
-
These texts are well-crafted troll hoax
-
These texts are a Chinese psyop
If 2. it would make no sense for her to deny it, just say these are fake.
If 1 or 3 it would make sense to ignore questions about this. Scenario 3 reminds me of the CDCanon which was later "debunked" with a lot of energy, but not a lot of arguments, as being the son of the CDCanon.
3 would make sense if the Chinese feel attacked by US intelligence agencies reporting and leaking on the real numbers and the possibility of this being a bioweapon. Are they trying to implicate Messonnier and her research on bioweapons? It would make sense that China does not want to take sole blame for a bioweapon release.
What do you all think of these texts? What could we research to confirm or invalidate? Who is Frank? What was Nancy's research all about? Why do all plausible leaks speak of more infected, more death, and signs of bio-engineered weapons? How messy is this all going to get if the truth emerges? How focused would the CDC be on avoiding panic over informing the public?
