Investigative journalist Jon Rappoport has previously reported on cases of the coronavirus that were "discovered" through misleading and worthless diagnostic tests. In this article, he quotes The Lancet, a British medical journal, that reported on a study that blamed air pollution levels for more than 400,000 premature deaths a year in China. The study also stated that "more than 100 million people live in cities where the air reaches levels considered 'very dangerous'". The article, written in 2005, stated that the Chinese government admitted that respiratory diseases were the leading cause of death in the country.

First, I want to mention 5G technology, which, according to reports, has been widely deployed in Wuhan, "the epicenter of the China epidemic." Readers have sent me links to articles and videos that highlight human damage caused by 5G.

I'm aware of this damage. I've written about it before, and, I revisited it in a piece I wrote a few days ago titled 5G and the China epidemic. What is creating illness and death in China is not an either-or situation. In my past research on epidemics, I've found several causes of disease in every "epidemic"—causes which have nothing to do with a virus.

In Wuhan, in addition to air pollution, we could certainly be looking at 5G, and other situations of damage—for example, water pollution, heavy chemical spraying.

I've also received communications asking about "all the other cases of the coronavirus" occurring in countries where air pollution is not a significant factor. To answer these questions, I urge reading all my articles on the so-called "China epidemic" (archive here). I've covered how "cases of the disease" are "discovered"—through entirely misleading and worthless diagnostic tests. It's always been easy to invent case numbers using these tests.

All right. A reader has sent me a significant piece published, in 2005, in the British medical journal, The Lancet. It emphasizes the destructive nature of air pollution in Chinese cities. Here are several excerpts.
