We were told it was a virus. Maybe even a lab leak. But what if COVID wasn’t just a virus at all? What if it was a vaccine?
In this mind-bending sit-down, engineer and independent researcher Jim Haslam takes us to the basement of the basement of pandemic origin theories—arguing that COVID-19 wasn’t just man-made, but that it was always a self-disseminating animal vaccine.
Was COVID a U.S.-Engineered Self-Spreading Animal Vaccine? ??

In this interview, engineer and author Jim Haslam (@jhas5) claims SARS-CoV-2 wasn't just a virus—it was a DARPA-funded live vaccine meant to spread through breath.

- Here’s what we cover: Haslam says, “I’m 100% certain it was a vaccine… not a human vaccine, an animal vaccine”
- I bring up DARPA’s leaked ‘DEFUSE’ proposal that reveals plans for airborne targeted human population vaccines
- Haslam: The “virus” was designed to spread, not kill—R0 (the measure of how fast something spreads) was the goal
- Same spike protein used in COVID “virus” and mRNA jab created by Ralph Baric
- “We’ve all been inoculated,” even the unvaccinated—because the pathogen was the vaccine
- COVID-infected deer, mink, hamsters, bats—exactly the animals used in U.S. biodefense labs
- Haslam names Fauci’s Rocky Mountain Lab as the origin—not Wuhan—and identifies the likely creator
- “They jabbed a bat. It jabbed her back. She became patient zero.”
- Animal vaccine designed for aerosol spread, says Haslam—“You are the drone. You are the sprayer.”

Virus’s dont exist like they tell people. Virus means poison and all vaccines they give shed causing flu season. No ‘virus’ has had its genome isolated and extracted which means they dont exist. Stop taking their poisons.
When someone develops a way to actually test for Covid-19 we will let you know. There are seven Corona viruses (the common cold) in which 4 can lead to the flu if the infected is physically exhausted or immune suppressed for any number of reasons like old age or in Chemotherapy.
The whole thing is BS. In 2019 7-8 people died per 1000 every year from all causes in most developed nations. Slightly more in underdeveloped nations. Without an accurate census it’s impossible to count how many people died from anything let alone Covid-19. An accounting slight of hand.
