According to the ministrys spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, the punitive measure was imposed after the diplomats cited a Russian military commander, who had alleged the US could have been behind the Covid-19 pandemic. On Tuesday, Zakharova posted a message on her Telegram channel, saying that on August 5, Twitter blocked for seven days the official account of the foreign ministry in English. The diplomat explained that the harsh reaction had been triggered by the ministry posting a tweet featuring excerpts from a speech delivered earlier by the head of Russias Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, General- Lieutenant, Igor Kirillov. The ministrys tweet in question cited claims that the United States Agency for International Development could have been behind the Covid-19 pandemic
The tweet which led to the suspension is preceded by a plaque saying that it violated the Twitter Rules on sharing false or misleading info that might bring harm to crisis-affected populations. The platform noted, however, that it had chosen to preserve the message for accountability purposes. After Russias war with Ukraine broke out six months ago, numerous harsh Western sanctions have been imposed upon Russia and individual Russians. But this suspension was unprecedented, with no such previous action having ever been taken against an official Twitter account of the Russian government. This drastic step underscores the enormous gravity of those Russian accusations. If the world began to suspect that Covid was an American bioweapon, the global political landscape might dramatically shift. Given the importance of this latest development, its worth recapitulating the preceding sequence of events. Prof. Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University is the high-ranking American academic who had chaired the Covid Commission of the Lancet, a leading medical journal. In May, he co-authored an article in Americas prestigious PNAS journal pointing to the very strong evidence that Covid was bioengineered in a laboratory and called for an independent inquiry into its origins. A call for an independent inquiry into the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus Neil L. Harrison and Jeffrey D. Sachs PNAS May 19, 2022 2,800 Words In that article, he emphasized that the EcoHealth Alliance, heavily funded by our own Department of Defense, had been very actively collecting exactly the sort of viruses that probably constituted the precursor stock to the genetically-engineered Covid virus. These dramatic claims by leading academic figures should have resulted in major media headlines, but instead they were ignored by virtually all mainstream and alternative media outlets, though I discussed them in a column. The following month, Prof. Sachs spoke at a Spanish think-tank conference and he strongly suggested that the Covid virus seemed to have emerged from American biotechnology. A few weeks later, RT ran a short item highlighting Sachss statements, and a clip of his remarks went super-viral a couple of days later, being retweeted more than 11,000 times and accumulating a million views, as I described in a column: Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest
