KIRBY INSTITUTE: THE NSW “MUTANT LAB”: Was the Indian Delta Variant Leaked in NSW to Lock-down Australia?
PANDEMIC WRITINGS, Melbourne, Australia (2020-2022): piece originally published July 22, 2021
ABSTRACT: The following analysis and investigation is in two parts.
The first part is comprised of an examination of the murky Kirby Institute “Mutant Lab.” This clandestine NSW lab announced that it possessed the Indian Delta strain (May 20th), and was culturing this particular variant on genetically-modified human kidney cells for examination. Importantly, their official announcement predated the very FIRST discovery of the new Indian Delta variant amongst Australians (June 2nd) by at least 12-days. The first Delta infected individuals were supposedly a family of Victorians who were coincidentally returning from NSW when they tested “positive”.
The second component to this investigation features a comprehensive timeline of ‘key dates,’ and the corresponding ‘significant events,’ that have catalysed the current “Delta” lockdowns of both NSW and Victoria (and now, South Australia.)
The primary curiosity inspiring this investigation is simply: Did the Kirby Institute (a 14-minute drive just 7.5 kilometres outside of the Sydney CBD) cause the Australian Delta outbreak?
NOTE: This is a large research article. It is perhaps necessary to only read Part One to receive the general overview. Part Two is a comprehensive timeline of significant “Delta events,” and serves to substantiate the claims advanced in Part One.
PART ONE: A SUSPICIOUS “MUTANT LAB” EXISTS IN NSW
On May 20, The Sydney Morning Herald published a news article titled, ‘Mutant lab: Is this Australia’s new defence against COVID variants?’(1) The article detailed the surprising existence of an ‘ultra-secure lab’ concealed inside ‘a layer of concrete and a few centimetres of steel’ at the University of NSW’s Kirby Institute, just south of the Sydney CBD.
This “mutant laboratory” was originally built to study HIV, but was repurposed and upgraded to screen and culture mutant variants. The lab’s scientists are ostensibly studying the emerging global variants, and hoping to predict whether vaccines will still be effective as the virus mutates. They have devised a novel way to culture the variants by genetically-modifying a human kidney cell with the necessary keyholes (ACE2 and TMPRSS2) that the virus uses to enter a cell.
According to Associate Professor Stuart Turville, these new cells were so effective that “the virus rips through it. It was almost too sensitive.”
He continues:
“Suddenly, the ultra-secure lab’s freezers were full of variants.
“In a period of about three weeks, we were the only lab that had all the variants of concern,” Professor Turville said.
“We had South Africa, we had Brazil, we had the Britain, we had Kenya, we had ones from the USA. It was surreal, to be honest with you. And then we started to test them.”
At the time of this article’s publication, (May 20) Professor Turville had ‘just finished work on B.1.617.1, the first Indian variant (Kappa).’
“It’s evasive. But not as evasive as the South African variant,” he said. The second Indian variant, B.1.617.2, is growing in cells right now. “On Monday, we’ll know.”
The extraordinary admission that “the SECOND Indian variant, B.1.617.2, (Delta) is growing in cells right now. “On Monday, we’ll know…” is an explosive revelation! In this timeframe, the ‘Monday’ reference would place the actual date of a cultured and available Delta strain on Monday, May 24. We were informed that Australia’s first ever case of the new Delta strain, the very FIRST time it had appeared in Australia, was mysteriously amongst a Victorian family that had returned from NSW’s Jervis Bay (202 kilometres down the road from the Kirby Institute on the exact same Hume Highway.)
If the Kirby Institute had cultured Delta a significant 8-days prior to its first Australian community detection, (and given that it needed to be delivered to the lab as an initial sample before culturing) it was definitely on the Australian continent much earlier.
QUESTIONS OF CONCERN:
This suspicious Kirby Institute laboratory is not manufacturing ‘mutants of concern,’ but rather, it receives exclusive custody of ‘global variant samples’ by some means, and then sets upon the task of culturing and replicating the mutants in a receptive human kidney cell for examination. Essentially, all such variants are being transported by some means from foreign locations, entering Australia, effectively breaching our quarantine, and essentially being gifted to these mad-scientists as viral playthings.
This is not a Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) facility of which the original “Wuhan strain” is now purported to have escaped — the Wuhan Lab is a (BSL-4) facility. In comparison, the Kirby Institute’s lab is a significantly downgraded biosafety containment level 3 (PC3) facility.
So, why have we permitted this private entity (“not directly affiliated with NSW Health, but has a close working relationship with them” — Kirby Institute director, Professor Anthony Kelleher) to have access to the various mutants? Surely, it would be imperative to keep all such variants outside of our currently quarantined Island Nation as we pursue a nationwide ‘zero COVID policy’ of ruthless lockdowns? And yet, the Kirby Institute’s “Mutant Lab” is just a 14-minute drive from the densely populated ‘human hub’ of the Sydney CBD. Regardless of whether or not the Delta variant “leaked” from the Kirby Institute lab — its very existence is a cause for both consternation, and public outrage.
How are these (South African, Brazilian, British, Kenyan, USA and Indian variants) entering Australia, and how are they being transported to this questionable laboratory?
Who is ultimately accountable?
Given that it is now acceptable to entertain the most likely scenario that the original virus was a bioweapon that escaped the Wuhan Institute of Virology — would the Kirby Institute still be comfortable in talking to the press about their hoard of coronavirus variants? The initial Sydney Morning Herald story was published at a time when there were no cases in NSW, and the Delta variant was not yet known to have infected anyone in Australia. The lab’s scandalous activities would certainly not be revealed in the current context of the present lockdown of three Australian states, and the draconian mandates imposed. However, we have their testament, and we have a potential source and culprit for the mysterious nationwide “Delta outbreak.”
It all begs the paramount question: Has the Kirby Institute been directly responsible for the subsequent Australian “outbreaks,” either by deliberate release, or accidental escape?
Australians have an absolute right to know.
CLOSING THOUGHTS:
All Australians deserve to be aware of the existence of the Kirby Institute’s “Mutant Lab.” We must demand its immediate closure, and a comprehensive disclosure and audit of all connected personnel, scientists, professors and the entirely of its operations, connections, and financial contributors and benefactors. How are they sourcing their ‘global mutant’ samples, and by what means are they entering Australia?
There is compelling circumstantial evidence to suggest the direct involvement of the Kirby Institute’s “Mutant Lab” in seeding the Delta variant in Australia. Indeed, if the original “Wuhan strain” was able to escape the Wuhan’s Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) “viral fortress” facility, why risk a similar incident in Sydney in a less secure lab (PC3), literally a 14-minute drive from the Sydney CBD?
At present, there is no absolute proof of a leak, and if indeed the Delta variant did emerge from this lab, it is simply not possible with our current awareness to ascertain whether it was an accidental leak, or a deliberate release. To suggest definitively, one way, or the other, is to merely speculate, but this possibility is plausible, and an extensive investigation needs to be conducted immediately.
The very fact that the Kirby Institute has revealed it delights in haphazardly tinkering with foreign coronavirus combinations, especially Delta, during a “pandemic,” is unquestionably unconscionable, and ultimately criminal. The fact that this is actually occurring is especially worrisome, especially in a country that is relentlessly pursuing an aggressive strategy of ‘Zero COVID,’ (locking down entire states over a mere handful of cases). The risk of experimenting upon and storing such variants — clearly outweighs any true benefit that may be gleaned by intended analysis. It is entirely unnecessary, and unethical. An escaped virus will ultimately result in an “outbreak cluster” that will cause a lock-down: is this what has actually happened?
All lockdowns eviscerate the essential organs of society: human health, psychology and economy. We already know that COVID-19 is less deadly than the seasonal flu (it is no longer a mysterious virus), and that 99.98% survive, and that all mandated government restrictions and lockdowns have been utterly disproportional, and truly a hysterical reflexive overreach. When a virus mutates, it becomes more contagious (unless the general population have Herd Immunity, which actually seems to be the case in Australia) and LESS deadly.
The fact that Associate Professor Stuart Turville so flippantly admitted: “We had South Africa, we had Brazil, we had the Britain, we had Kenya, we had ones from the USA. It was surreal, to be honest with you. And then we started to test them” — reveals an outrageous threat to our homeland: the existence of this lab is an existential danger to all Australian people.
INDEED, THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE KIRBY INSTITUTE “MUTANT LAB” IS AN AFFRONT TO ALL AUSTRALIANS CURRENTLY SUFFERING UNDER GOVERNMENT MANDATES TO CONTROL THE SPREAD — THE RISK OF HAVING SUCH A FACILITY IN THE HEART OF A MAJOR CITY IS TREMENDOUS, AND A CRIME SCENE.
AUSTRALIANS MUST DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE CLOSURE OF THE KIRBY INSTITUTE’S LAB, AND AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION.
THIS MUST BE DONE, NOW!

PART TWO:AN OVERVIEW OF AUSTRALIA’S INDIAN DOUBLE MUTANT TIMELINE (FOCUS ON VICTORIA & NSW): Significant Dates Contrasted With Acknowledged Developments By The Kirby Institute “Mutant Lab”
TIMELINE DATES: MAY 8 – JULY 21
(VIC) MAY 8th – A “man from Wollert” (Melbourne’s north) tests positive for coronavirus — later determined (on May 24th) to be the Kappa strain of the Indian double-mutant variant. Ironically, he did not catch it overseas, but bizarrely caught the variant while in an Adelaide Quarantine Hotel. He tested negative in Adelaide, and only returned a positive result after completing his 14-days of quarantine and being tested upon his return to Melbourne. Mysteriously, there were no other cases of Kappa detected in Adelaide.
…12 days later…
(KIRBY INSTITUTE NSW “MUTANT LAB”) MAY 20th – “The lab’s head, Associate Professor Stuart Turville, just finished work on B1.617.1” (Kappa). When exactly was work ‘just finished’ on culturing a sample of Kappa? When exactly did this ‘Kappa variant’ sample make its way to Australia, and how was it transported to the Kirby Institute to be cultured?
…1 day later…
(VIC) MAY 21st – Victorian Contact Tracing made an incorrect determination of a crucial exposure site, and as a result, the wrong Epping Woolworths was closed for “deep cleaning.” There had been two Woolworths in Epping that the infected Wollert individual might have visited — and they got it wrong! This absurd bungle resulted in the Kappa strain flying-off the supermarket shelves and developing into a chaotic Victorian “outbreak.”
…3 days later…
(KIRBY INSTITUTE NSW “MUTANT LAB”) MAY 24th – On May 20th Associate Professor Stuart Turville announced that the Kirby Institute laboratory HAD THE INDIAN DELTA VARIANT: “The second Indian variant, B.1.617.2, (Delta) is growing in cells right now. On Monday (May 24th) we’ll know” (assumedly he’ll know how “evasive” the Delta variant might be.)
(VIC) MAY 24th – There were four “alarming” cases that were detected in the suburb of Epping in Melbourne’s north. The frantic Contact Tracers were absolutely determined to discover these elusive “positive cases,” (after three months of nothing) so they tested, and they tested, and they tested until they finally manifested the exact result they were after: “positive cases.” Positive manifestation! These “cases” were allegedly connected to the original Wollert Man (“patient zero”) and the media was instructed to label them as the Indian double-mutant: Kappa. It was also the first time that “The Man from Wollert” fable was assigned an actual mutant variant other than a nondescript “coronavirus” infection. He had been infected with one of the Indian double-mutant variants after all.
We just did not know about the second one (new variant claim) just yet.
…2 days later…
(GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT) MAY 26th – FACEBOOK REVERSES POLICY ON CENSORING LAB LEAK THEORY – In lockstep with the US Government, Facebook announced: “In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured from our apps.” (2)
After months of aggressive censorship, it was now suddenly permissible to entertain and express the opinion that the ‘Wuhan Institute of Virology, which collects and tests coronaviruses, deserved scrutiny.’ Circumstantial evidence indicates that COVID-19 is a bioweapon, and that it most likely leaked from Wuhan’s Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4).
It is almost certain that the virus escaped one of the most secure purpose-built containment facilities on the planet.
In contrast, the Kirby Institute’s “Mutant Lab” is only a biosafety containment level 3 (PC3) facility. How could they ever hope to successfully contain such a Houdini-virus?
…1 day later…
(VIC) MAY 27th– VICTORIA’S FOUTH LOCKDOWN COMMENCES: It is announced Victoria will enter its fourth lockdown for 7-days. The Kappa strain is promoted as “a highly infectious strain of the virus, a variant of concern. Which is running faster than we have ever recorded.” Before it completely spluttered and disappeared in less than a week, it managed to infect a pathetic 4-5 people-a-day amongst a population of 6.7 million.
…4 days later…
(VIC) JUNE 1st– The Kappa double-mutant variant is declared by CHO Brett Sutton as an “absolute beast,” and it is attached to the outlandish lie of “fleeting contact.” Within 24-hours, the two “cases” that were used to substantiate the “fleeting contact” lie were exposed as ‘false positives.’ At the risk of having the legitimacy of all such determined positives (a miniscule 4-6 per day) scrutinized, the embarrassed officials frantically changed their virus narrative, and effectively discarded of the Kappa variant. Suddenly, and inexplicably, there was a SECOND Indian double-mutant variant! This one was called Delta, and it had NEVER been discovered in Australia before. If they had not been actively testing for Kappa, it probably would have still remained undetected and irrelevant. Again, it was “alarming.” It was the reason that the Victorian lockdown had to be extended by 7-days as it seemed that this variant ‘was now infecting children.’
…1 day later…
(VIC) JUNE 2nd – AUSTRALIA’S FIRST EVER CASE OF DELTA? The Delta “concern” and a few supposed infections were announced on the first day of the 7-day extension. The authorities did not know where the mysterious Delta strain had come from, but the first infections were amongst a family of Victorians that had RECENTLY RETURNED FROM NSW. The media and government focus would now be exclusively on “the deadly hyper infectious” Delta. The Kappa threat, the actual reason for Victoria’s lockdown, was completely abandoned, and there would be no more significant cases: illogically, only the “threat” of Delta existed now. It still remains unclear how that family, which travelled to Jervis Bay in NSW, contracted the Delta variant (3).
…12 days later…
(VIC) JUNE 14th – A SUSPICIOUS DEVELOPMENT: The Sydney Morning Herald publishes a news update on Delta origins, ‘Source of Melbourne’s highly infectious Delta outbreak set to remain mystery, Melissa Cunningham, SMH, June 14 (4):’
“Victoria’s Deputy Chief Health Officer Allen Cheng says it is unlikely to ever be known how the highly infectious Delta variant of coronavirus leaked out of Victoria’s quarantine system and seeded an outbreak in Melbourne.”
Professor Cheng told The Age on Monday the state’s health officials had exhausted every avenue in their four working theories probing how the Delta variant crept into Melbourne unchecked…”
(NSW) JUNE 16th – DELTA COMES TO SYDNEY, AGAIN? A 60-year-old Bondi man, who worked as a “limousine driver” transporting international flight crews, just happened to drive the pampered Delta variant into Sydney on a luxurious leather seat (5). He was NSW’s first infection in 40-days, and the sole reason for the current NSW “outbreak” and their indeterminable lockdown. Incidentally, but alarmingly, the Kirby Lab is located 8 kilometres from Bondi, or a mere 19-minute drive.
…3 days later…
(VIC) JUNE 19th – A SUSPICIOUS DEVELOPMENT: The Age publishes a news update on Delta origins, ‘Erased hotel CCTV stopped Delta outbreak probe in its tracks, Paul Sakkal, The Age, June 18 (6):’
“CCTV footage that could have explained how the Delta variant of COVID-19 seeped into Melbourne was deleted, meaning a key method of investigating a hotel quarantine leak was unable to be used.”
Not suss at all.
…7 days later…
(NSW) JUNE 26th – NSW’S LOCKDOWN COMMENCES: The New South Wales government announced a two-week “stay-at-home order” for Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Wollongong after a “spike” in new Delta cases. The lockdown was predictably extended, and there is no indication that it will end at this present time.
…12 days later…
(VIC) JULY 8th – A three-person removalist crew arrive in Melbourne from West Sydney. They were not wearing masks, and one individual just happened to be unknowingly “infected,” and he brought the Delta variant back to Victoria: a game of “pass-the farcical-parcel” between Australian states.
…7 days later…
(VIC) JULY 15th – VICTORIA’S FIFTH LOCKDOWN COMMENCES: Premier Dan Andrews announces a 5-day snap lockdown ‘last resort’ for Victoria. The lie of “fleeting transmission/fleeting contact” that was previously debunked and subject to damage control, is once again a prominent issue as deceptively calibrated PCR tests yield fake positives amongst those not physically linked to a direct infection. It must be “fleeting contact” again, even though all previous attempts at establishing this unlikely characteristic have been utterly disproven. A “fleeting transmission” is the fraudulent result of a PCR test being deliberately rigged at 40-45 cycles (34 cycles being the highest threshold to obtain a scientifically meaningful result).
…1 day later…
(VIC) JULY 16th – A KNOWING NOD TO THE TRUTH, PERHAPS: Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszcuk publicly ‘labelled the highly-infectious strain that originated in India the “Sydney Delta variant” and the “Sydney strain,” to which the NSW’s Health Minister, Brad Hazzard, responded, and derided her comments as being “silly” (7).
Perhaps Palaszcuk was merely alluding to her awareness of the true origins of Sydney’s current Delta “outbreak,” lauding such knowledge with a wink, wink, over the ignorant millions now obediently locked down.
Again, did it come from the Kirby Institute’s “Mutant Lab?”
…5 days later…
(VIC) JULY 20th – VICTORIA’S 5-DAY LOCKDOWN TO BE EXTENDED BY 7-DAYS: The “highly infectious” Delta variant has struggled to infect anyone (with numbers consistently below ‘20 daily cases’ amongst 6.7 million) yet, after 9 cases it was decreed that the Victorian lockdown would be extended by 7-days.
(SA) JULY 20th – SOUTH AUSTRALIA ENTERS A 7-DAY LOCKDOWN: Five cases of the Delta variant were allegedly detected and according to government health officials — there was ‘no alternative but to impose some fairly heavy and immediate restrictions.’
Actually, the alternative is not to.
(VIC) (NSW) (SA) JULY 21st – The hyperbolic “threat” of the unthreatening non-contagious, slow-spreading Delta variant, has been exploited to enforce a criminal lockdown on 14.5-million people over three Australian states.
