Kirillov: Exercises in 2019 indicate U.S. involvement in COVID-19

The development of the COVID-19 pandemic according to the scenario of the exercises held in New York in 2019 raises questions about its deliberate nature and US involvement in it, said Igor Kirillov, head of the troops of radiation, chemical and biological protection (RCDP) of the Russian Armed Forces.

“The development of the COVID-19 pandemic exactly according to this scenario raises questions about its deliberate nature, US involvement in the incident, as well as the true goals of US bioprograms aimed at enhancing the properties of dangerous pathogens,” Kirillov said at a briefing.

The general recalled that on Oct. 18, 2019, that is, two months before the first official reports of a new coronavirus infection in China, Johns Hopkins University, with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, held an Event 201 exercise in New York.

According to Kirillov, the exercise involved practicing a previously unknown coronavirus in an epidemic. According to the legend of the exercise, the disease was transmitted from bats to humans through an intermediate host – the body of a pig.
