The more I research and think about this topic, the farther I push back the possible start date. Redfield, the former CDC director, has recently stated several times (including before a Congressional Committee) that the first cases were in August or September 2019. Of course, he didn't say that when he was CDC director. Investigating the real dates of early spread would get us closer to learning who was responsible for this virus being released on the world in the first place. So I get why all early spread investigations have been squelched/blocked.

I like the way you think, Bill, you cover all the bases. I'm wondering - are you a scientist of some sort such as a virologist? Or just a smart guy who uses his head and is very thorough? Just wondering.

Thank you, Mr. Grogan. I'm a struggling freelance journalist whose last science class was 11th grade chemistry in 1982! I got interested in "early spread" because I think myself, my two kids and 20 percent of my town probably had the virus by the end of January 2020. It bugs me (no pun intended) that the obvious never becomes the obvious. I DO trust the anecdotes ... not the experts!

I'm very happy to find out that there are journalists like you still out there!!! btw, my dad was a journalist in WW2, covering the war. I also trust the anecdotes, it used to be that anecdotal evidence was one of the best, if not the best ways to determine accurate science. Also it was considered highly valuable in a court of law. Can you point me to any articles or websites where you articles appear? I'd love to read your articles, you're so thorough and you think outside the box. btw, I'm not a Mr. I'm an old lady LOL. Literally EVERYONE online makes that mistake and assumes I'm a Mr. - which btw, I've never been :)

I've had several articles published at The Brownstone Institute website. I think that's the best site for contrarian Covid journalism these days (except Steve's site).

Here's the story that got me started on "early spread" investigations. It was published by UncoverDC.com. It took me a month to find ONE publication that would even publish it!
