Interests | • COVID-19 • transfection • exosomes • gain-of-function research |
Scientist and biological researcher who has questioned the efficacy of "gain-of-function" research and suggested that COVID-19 may have been cause by means other than a synthetic virus. |
Dr Jonathan Jay Couey is a scientist and biological researcher who has published work in journals such as Science, Nature Neuroscience, PNAS and Neuron. He argues that the Deep State used bioweapons to create the illusion of an infectious virus, relying on a variety of psychological warfare techniques to promote panic, rendering people pliable to an social change agenda. Since 2020 he has consistently argued against the use of transfection -- that is, the mRNA COVID shots.

Background
Career
Couey has worked the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.[1] He reports that after failing to comply with COVID protocols his contract was not renewed. As part of his research, he transfected the brains of animals over about 10 years, and noted that the animals were always disposed of soon after, since the transfected portion of the animals' brain would invariably be attacked by their immune system after some time.
COVID-19
Couey was a member of DRASTIC, and in 2020 promoted the theory that COVID-19 emerged from a BSL lab. He was employed for a few months by RFK Jr as a staff scientist for Children's Health Defense.[2]
Criticism of zoonotic origin
In January 2020 Couey argued against the "lone bat" theory of a zoonotic origin for COVID-19, suggesting that it was more likely to be a genetically engineered virus from a bioweapons lab.[3] In October 2022 he coauthored New Analysis of COVID Virus Suggests Fauci and Baric’s Fingerprints on Pandemic Bug[4]. He later came to doubt that what was referred to as "COVID-19" had any existence distinct from the naturally occurring coronaviruses, which he terms the "swarm".
“I think that the origins of the virus was a lab leak drama. Probably there was a bioweapon in the beginning to seed everything because that would be necessary, but I don't think there is any evidence for a virus that has gone around the world for 3 years. And the PCR tests and the sequences are not evidence of that... we don't have any of that data from pre 2020, so you don't know whether those sequences could have been found in 2019, 18, 17, 16 because no one was looking.”

Criticism of the gain-of-functioned origin
After studying the science of RNA viruses, Couey changed his mind in 2023, and began arguing against the theory that COVID was an artifically created virus. He began arguing that as coronaviruses cannot replicate with high fidelity, gain-of-function work could not create a virus that would last for years, encircling the globe. He claims that the public have been misled about the replication of coronaviruses. He states that the inevitable random mutations would very quickly cause specially engineered features to degrade, making any novel coronavirus more or less indistinguishable from naturally occurring ones. As of April 2024 he was not known to have answered the question of how, if coronaviruses are so poor at replication, "the swarm" is preserved. He emphasises the "irreducible complexity" of biology, and has suggested that viruses may be naturally produced, for example as a signalling mechanism.
Couey has highlighted how cDNA clones could be used to effectively replicate a naturally occurring virus. He notes that in contrast to the low fidelity replication of a natural coronavirus (only 1/N particles are actually infectious, where N is large), a cloned virus would be far more concentrated, capable of delivering a high viral load, and therefore being highly dangerous and able to kill healthy people. While releasing such a virus would creating the appearance of a deadly virus, only those initially exposed to it would be severely affected, since subsequent infections would deliver only the natural proportion (1/N) of replication competent particles. Couey suggests that such releases may have occurred in March/April 2020 to promote COVID panic and facilitate acquiescence to the COVID-19 lockdowns and similar measures.

Couey founded Gigaohm Biological[When?], a crowd-funded means to promote his ideas.

In late 2023, drawing on his personal experience as a member of DRASTIC, he developed the theory of "Team Worst Case Scenario", a strategy to promote fear of COVID and deflect fundamental challenges to the narrative. This suggests that many "COVID-19 dissidents" are in fact controlled opposition (whether they know it or not), and are manipulated to conduct a vigorous debate within the tightly defined Overton window of allowed ideas.
