Gain of Function- (”toiminnantehostamis”-) tutkimus on jokseenkin tulenarka aihe; miksi kirjoittaa siitä? Yksi syy on se, että sillä saattaa olla merkittävä rooli kaikessa siinä, mikä on ajanut meidät tilanteeseen, jossa nyt olemme. Tässä artikkelissa aiheeseen tartutaankin lähinnä siinä kontekstissa, mikä sillä on korona- pandemiaan.
Gain of Function- tutkimus; määritelmiä:
”Tutkijat käyttävät erilaisia tekniikoita organismien muokkaamiseen riippuen itse organismin ominaisuuksista ja tarkoituksesta. Joissakin näistä menetelmistä tehdään muutoksia suoraan geneettisen koodin tasolla. Toisissa menetelmissä organismeja saatetaan sijoittaa ympäristöihin, joissa valikoituu geneettisiin muutoksiin liittyviä toimintoja..
..Potentiaalisiin pandemiaa aiheuttaviin patogeeneihin keskittyvää Gain-of-function-tutkimusta on tuettu sillä perusteella, että se auttaa tutkijoita ymmärtämään paremmin kehittyvää patogeenimaisemaa, valmistautumaan paremmin pandemiavasteeseen ja kehittämään hoitoja ja vastatoimia.”
”Toiminnan tehostaminen” on kiertoilmaus biologiselle tutkimukselle, jolla pyritään lisäämään taudinaiheuttajien ja virusten virulenssia ja tappavuutta. GoF- tutkimus on valtiorahoitteista, ja siinä keskitytään parantamaan taudinaiheuttajien kykyä tartuttaa eri lajeja ja lisäämään niiden tappavaa vaikutusta ilmassa leviävinä taudinaiheuttajina ja viruksina. Näennäisesti GoF-tutkimusta tehdään biopuolustustarkoituksiin.”
Jo epidemian alkuviikkoina 2020 kevättalvella se esiin tullut tosiasia, että Kiinan ainut (tiedetty) P4- tason patogeenilaboratorio (jossa voidaan luvallisesti käsitellä vaarallisimpia viruksia ja patogeenejä) sijaitsee Wuhanissa, on tehnyt aiheesta omalta osaltaan melko relevantin. Aluksi kysymykset -ensin laboratorio- vuodosta ja sitten myöhemmin koronaan liittyvästä gain of function -tutkimuksesta leimattiin valtamedian ja viranomaisten toimesta salaliittoteorioiksi. Aika on kuitenkin osoittanut kysymykset aiheellisiksi. Tänä päivänä noiden kysymysten kiistäminen tai vähättely täyttää salaliittoteorian tunnusmerkit paremmin. Washington Examiner kävi toukokuussa 2021 läpi näihin teemoihin liittynyttä valtamedian soveltamaa faktantarkistusta:
Monet lehdistön edustajat olivat viime vuonna innokkaita – ehkä hieman liiankin innokkaita hylkäämään teorian, jonka mukaan COVID-19-virus oli peräisin Kiinan Wuhanissa sijaitsevasta laboratoriosta.
Oli typerää hylätä teoria kokonaan ilman hylkäämistä puoltavia vakuuttavia todisteita. Nyt se näyttää vieläkin typerämmältä, sillä yhä useammat todisteet osoittavat, että teoria saattaa pitää paikkansa. PolitiFact näyttää tällä viikolla erityisen typerältä sen jälkeen, kun se perui ”faktantarkistuksen”, jossa alun perin annettiin ”housut kintuissa” -luokitus lääkärille, joka väitti viime vuonna, että COVID-19 on ”ihmisen laboratoriossa luoma virus”.
WASHINGTON EXAMINER
(*Jatkossa termi ’gain of fuction’ korvataan tässä artikkelissa lyhenteellä GoF.)
Artikkelissa käydään ensiksi pinnallisesti läpi GoF- konseptia ja sen taustaa sekä historiaa. Tämä vaatii myös pientä kurkistusta bioaseisiin ja niihin liittyviin sopimuksiin. Tämän jälkeen käsitellään GoF- tutkimusta Wuhanissa ja keskustelua mahdollisesta laboratorio- vuodosta.
Artikkelin loppuosa käsittelee länsimaisten – etupäässä yhdysvaltalaisten – toimijoiden roolia Wuhanin GoF- tutkimukseen ja koronaan liittyen. Huomiota herättävää on etenkin eturivin terveysviranomaisten, kuten kansallisen terveysinstituutin, NIH:n ja ”korona- tsaari” Anthony Faucin rooli tutkimuksissa ja rahoituksessa
Gain of Function – toiminnan tehostaminen; mitä – miksi?
Esimerkiksi EASAC (the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council) käsittelee GoF- tutkimusta raportissaan Gain of function: experimental applicationsrelating to potentially pandemic pathogens. Julkaisussa selitetään, että yleensä GoF- tutkimuksessa geenejä muokataan, jotta saataisiin lisää tietoa niiden toiminnasta. Raportti korostaa, että GoF- tutkimuksella on ollut merkittävä rooli mikrobiologiassa patogeenien hahmottamisessa. Tämän tiedon sanotaan olevan erittäin hyödyllistä kun valitaan ja kehitetään uusia lääkkeitä ja rokotteita. Raportti on esittelyn mukaan kuitenkin koostettu ensisijaisesti ottamaan kantaa keskusteluun GoF- tutkimuksen vaaroista ja peräänkuuluttaa laajempaa julkista keskustelua suosituksissaan. Lukijalle kerrotaan, että esim. Yhdysvalloissa tietyn tyyppinen GoF- tutkimus ja sen rahoitus on ollut kiellettyä ja että myös EU:n alueella jotkut tiedeyhteisön jäsenet ovat kyseenalaistaneet näiden tutkimusten tarpeellisuutta (tästä myös AHRP:n artikkelissa).
GoF- tutkimuksen vaaroina nähdään yleisesti mm. mahdolliset päinvastaiset seuraukset suhteessa niiden alkuperäiseen tavoitteeseen. Esimerkki tästä voisi olla vaikka tilanne, jossa vain eläinten keskuudessa leviävää ja aiemmin ihmisille täysin vaaratonta hengitystievirusta peukaloitaisiin geneettisesti tutkimustarkoituksessa niin, että se saataisiin tarttumaan ihmiseen. Tästä tulisi ongelma etenkin silloin, jos tällainen uusi synteettinen virus pääsisi jostain syystä pakenemaan laboratoriosta ja leviämään ihmispopulaatiossa.
Lordi Mayn kommentti kysyttäessä GoF- tutkimuksen vaaroista:
”Kyllä, vaara on olemassa, mutta se ei aiheudu eläimissä olevista viruksista, vaan törkeän kunnianhimoisten ihmisten laboratorioista.”
LÄHDE: OXFORDIN YLIOPISTON PROFESSORI LORDI MAY, ROYAL SOCIETYN ENTINEN PUHEENJOHTAJA JA YHDISTYNEEN KUNINGASKUNNAN HALLITUKSEN ENTINEN TIEDENEUVONANTAJA
Kuitenkin esim. Anthony Fauci (josta vielä lisää myöhemmin) on ollut ainakin vielä vuonna 2012 sitä mieltä, että GoF- tutkimuksen suhteen hyödyt ovat riskejä huomattavasti suuremmat. Hänen mukaansa luonnosta alkunsa saavan pandemian todennäköisyys oli paljon suurempi verrattuna laboratorio- onnettomuuteen ja että tutkimus olisi juuri siksi tärkeää, jotta ”kykenisimme säilyttämään etumatkan” tällaisien uhkien suhteen, harjoittamalla tällaista tutkimusta, vaikka siihen sisältyisikin riskejä.
Tämän kaiken myötä lienee kuitenkin myös helppoa ymmärtää, että GoF- tutkimuksella on väistämättä toinenkin, synkempi ja tarkoituksellisempi mahdollinen käyttötarkoitus, joka liittyy bioaseiden kehittämiseen.
GoF- tutkimus ja bioaseet?
Bioaseen määritelmä:
Biologinen ase koostuu yleensä biologisesta aineesta tai toksiinista (bakteerit, mykoplasmat, riketsiat, virukset, hiivat, sienet), niiden levittämistä ja pysyvyyttä edistävistä lisäaineista sekä levitysjärjestelmästä.
Bioaseet ovat melkoinen tabu ja niiden kehitystä ja käyttöä on jo vuosikymmenien ajan säännelty lukuisilla kansainvälisillä sopimuksilla. Kansainvälinen yhteisö kielsi bioaseiden käytön ensimmäisen maailmansodan jälkeen kansainvälisellä lailla vuonna 1925 (Geneven protokolla). Kieltoa on vahvistettu mm. vuosien 1972 (Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention – BTWC) ja 1993 (Chemical Weapons Convention – CWC) sopimuksilla, jotka kieltävät niiden kehittämisen, tuotannon, varastoinnin ja kuljettamisen. (International Committee of the Red Cross – Chemical and biological weapons).
John Hopkins -sairaala yhdysvalloissa jakaa biologiset aseet kolmeen kategoriaan niiden vaarallisuuden mukaan. Vaarallisimmassa ”A- kategoriassa” olevia bioaseita yhdistävät seuraavat asiat:
niitä on helppo levittää ihmisten keskinäisen kanssakäymisen yhteydessä
ne saattavat olla tappavia
niillä on potentiaali vaikuttaa ratkaisevasti kansanterveyteen
ne saattava aiheuttaa yleistä paniikkia ja sosiaalisia häiriöitä
Esimerkkeinä A- kategoriaan kuuluvista bioaseista annetaan erilaisia viruksia, kuten isorokko, pernarutto taikka erilaiset verenvuotokuumeet.
Voisiko GoF- tutkimus mahdollistaa esimerkiksi sen, että joku osapuoli voisi kehittää viruksen, joka kohdistuisi enemmän vaikka populaatioihin, jolla on tietynlainen geenipohja? Toisaalta taas GoF- tutkimuksen avulla syntetisoituun virukseen voitaisiin samalla kehitykseen käytetyllä tiedolla kehittää vasta- aine, jonka avulla haluttu populaatio voitaisiin bioaseen kehittäjän toimesta immunisoida samalla, kun virusta levitettäisiin globaalisti. Miltä se näyttäisi käytännössä? Esimerkkinä voisi olla vaikka ennen viruksen ”ilmaantumista” kehitetty ja valmistettu rokote. Huhuja tällaisestakin liikkuu.
Mm. juuri tällaisten vaarojen takia Yhdysvallat päätti vuonna 2014 hyllyttää rahoituksen (moratorium) kaikelta GoF- tutkimukselta, joka liittyy influenssa-, MERS- ja SARS- viruksiin. Fauci aloitti uudelleen tutkimukset rahoituskiellosta huolimatta vuonna 2017. Asiaa on tutkinut etenkin australialainen tutkiva journalisti Sharri Markson (videopätkä aiheesta), mutta palaamme asiaan syvemmin vielä artikkelin loppuosassa.
Wuhan; laboratoriovuoto & GoF tutkimus ja sen rahoitus
Ei siis ole suurikaan ihme, että GoF- aspekti koronan suhteen on herättänyt keskustelua, varsinkin kun vedetään yhteen viimeisen puolentoista vuoden aikana julkisuuteen tullutta informaatiota. Ajatus siitä, että juuri siinä kaupungissa (Wuhan), josta virus lähti liikkeelle, on laboratorio, jossa käsitellään vaarallisia eläinperäisiä patogeenejä (mm. lepakoista peräisin olevia) on ja hieman kiusallinen. Kun sitten vielä vaikuttaa siltä, että kyseisessä laboratoriossa on myös harjoitettu viruksiin liittyvää GoF- tutkimusta ja samalla ymmärretään, että suuri osa esim. aiemmin esitetystä bioaseiden vaarallisimman A- kategorian aineista on juuri viruksia, alkaa kokonaisuus vaikuttaa suorastaan häiritsevältä. Mutta ei siinä vielä kaikki; onkalo syvenee entisestään, kun ryhdytään katsomaan kytköksiä rahoituksen suhteen.
Wuhanin laboratoriosta ja siellä tehdystä tutkimuksesta kiersi huhuja jo heti keväällä 2020. Asiasta oli hankalaa löytää vahvistusta Kiinan ollessa kyseessä ja valtamedian ollessa äärimmäisen haluton tutkimaan asiaa syvemmin. Kysymykset nousivat kuitenkin julkisuuteen siinä vaiheessa kun Yhdysvaltain hallinnon eri jäsenet ottivat asiaan kantaa julkisuudessa, kuten esimerkiksi senaattori Tom Cotton Wall Street Journaliin kirjoittamassaan mielipidekirjoituksessa huhtikuussa 2020. Myös ulkoministeri Mike Pompeo sivusi asiaa kannanotoissaan. Asiaa ei suoranaisesti ole selventäneet myöskään maailman terveysjärjestö WHO:n tekemät ”riippumattomat” tutkimukset asiasta – WHO:n, joka on vahvasti Kiinan vaikutuksen alaisena mm. pääsihteerinsä Tedroksen kautta (toinen artikkeli aiheesta). Bidenin hallinnon loppulausunto viruksen alkuperää käsitelleen tutkimuksen osalta oli, että kysymykseen ”ei ole aukotonta vastausta” (inconclusive), mikä ei sinänsä ole odottamatonta Bidenin omat Kiina- kytkökset huomioon ottaen. Valtamedian tarjoamien representaatioiden ristiriita aiheesta havainnollistaa teemaa hyvin:
Kesällä 2021 asiat saivat kuitenkin selkeän ja yllättävän käänteen kun ensin ’Informed Consent Action Network’– järjestö sai käsiinsä Anthony Faucin (Yhdysvaltain ’koronanyrkin’ ja kansallisen allergia- ja tartuntatauti- instituutin NIAID:n johtaja) sähköposteja FOIA:n (Freedom Of Information Actin) nojalla (*linkki sähköposteihin*). Materiaalia oli kaiken kaikkiaan yli 3000 sivua. Hiukan myöhemmin ’The Intercept’- lehti sai niin ikään FOIA:n myötä 900 sivua asiakirjoja, lähinnä GoF- tutkimukseen ja sen rahoitukseen liittyen. Sähköpostien ilmaantuminen alkoi väistämättä kääntää narratiivia, koska FOIA:n myötä ne tulivat julki virallisen prosessin myötä. Siitä huolimatta asiaa pyrittiin vähättelemään ja sensuroimaan välittömästi valtamedian ja SOME- jättien toimesta jo totuttuun tapaan – Facebook oli jo aiemmin sensuroinut aktiivisesti keskustelua mahdollisesta laboratoriovuodosta.
Myös keskustelu viruksen alkuperästä koki voimakasta sensuuria:
Miksi sähköposteilla sitten on ollut niin suuri merkitys? FOIA:n myötä julkaistuilla sähköposteilla ja asiakirjoilla on laaja ja monitahoinen merkitys korona- narratiivin kannalta. Yleisesti ottaen ne paljastavat sen, kuinka yleisöltä pyritään peittämään olennaisia tosiasioita aivan johtavien terveysviranomaisten toimesta; Yhdysvaltain osalta nyt todistettavasti. Tämä koskee niin narratiivia viruksen alkuperästä, arvioita viruksen vaarallisuudesta kuin näkemyksiä maskienkin hyödyllisyydestä. Sähköposteista löytyy myös Facebookin Mark Zuckerbergin yhteistyöhenkeä ilmentävä viesti Faucille, mikä osaltaan selittänee myös kyseisen alustan vahvaa sensuuria aiheesta. Tutkiva journalisti Jeff Carlson on tehnyt sähköposteista ilmenneen informaation perusteella kattavan aikajanan. Hän julkaisi myös aiheesta artikkelin.
Sähköpostikeskustelua viruksen koostumuksesta:
Sähköpostikeskustelua tutkimusrahoituksesta:
Eräs mielenkiintoinen keskustelu ilmenee Faucin sähköpostivaihdosta Scripps Researchin professorin Kristian Andersenin kanssa, jossa Andersen totesi joidenkin virusten ominaisuuksien vaikuttavan kehitetyiltä/ keinotekoisilta (engineered). Hiukan sen jälkeen sama Andersen kuitenkin julkaisi tutkimuksen, jossa vakuutti viruksen olevan peräisin luonnosta, ja mikä räikeintä – Fauci itse käytti kyseistä julkaisua perusteena laboratorioalkuperä -teorioiden ”debunkkaamiselle” (artikkeli). Fauci ja Andersen olivat myös kiinteästi yhteydessä julkaisun koostamiseen liittyen. Myös The Lancet -ja Nature Medicine– julkaisuilla oli merkittävä rooli siinä, että narratiivi viruksen alkuperästä saatiin haluttuihin uomiin – eli viruksen luonnollista alkuperää puoltavaksi (artikkeli). On selvinnyt – ei täysin yllättävästi – että 26:lla niistä 27 henkilöstä, jotka olivat mukana kirjoittamassa Lancet- kirjettä, jossa tuomitaan laboratoriovuoto, oli yhteys Wuhanin virologian instituuttiin kytköksissä oleviin tutkijoihin, mikä on valtava eturistiriita.
Julkaistulla materiaalilla on erityistä merkitystä etenkin siinä, kuinka se valottaa gain of function -tutkimusta ja siihen kytkeytyvien toimijoiden verkostoa. Käytännössä julkaistut asiakirjat antavat vahvoja viitteitä siitä, että SARS:iin liittyvän GoF- tutkimuksen ollessa Yhdysvalloissa hyllytettynä vuodesta 2014 lähtien, kieltoa kierrettiin myöhemmin ”pesemällä” rahoitus ei- valtiollisen järjestön kautta. Tämä järjestö oli Peter Daszakin johtama ’Ecohealth Alliance. Joidenkin arvioiden mukaan Pentagon ja liittovaltion hallinto ovat kanavoineet yli 150 miljoonaa dollaria Wuhanissa tehtävälle GoF- tutkimukselle Ecohealth Alliancen kautta. Ecohealth Alliance on saanut rahoitusta myös muilta toimijoilta, kuten USAID:lta:
Lokakuun 2009 ja toukokuun 2019 välisenä aikana PREDICT antoi yhteensä 1,1 miljoonaa dollaria EcoHealth Alliancelle Wuhanin virologian instituutin (WIV) kanssa tehtyä alasopimusta varten projektiin, jonka tarkoituksena on edistää sellaisten kriittisten virusten tutkimusta, jotka voivat aiheuttaa haittaa ihmisille ja eläimille. USAID:n rahoittamat WIV:n toimet olivat yhdenmukaisia vastaavan, muissa maissa tehtävän työn kanssa, jota varten on myös myönnetty vastaavaa rahoitusta. Näihin toimiin kuului seuraavaa: organismien testaaminen, virussukujen löytäminen (polymeraasiketjureaktiolla (PCR)) luonnonvaraisista eläimistä kerätyistä näytteistä ja ihmisistä otetuista näytteistä sekä serologisten testien kehittämistä altistumisen (eli vasta-aineiden) testaamiseksi koronaviruksille eläimissä ja ihmisissä. Näillä toimilla pyrittiin tunnistamaan ja ymmärtämään eläinpopulaatioiden eläinperäisiä (zoonotic) viruksia ennen kuin ne leviävät (eli pystyvät tarttumaan ihmisiin) ja aiheuttavat mahdollisia pandemioita ihmispopulaatioissa. USAID ei ole koskaan hyväksynyt tai rahoittanut työtä, jonka tarkoituksena oli lisätä tartunnanaiheuttajien kykyä aiheuttaa tauteja lisäämällä niiden patogeenisuutta tai tarttuvuutta (tutkimus, joka tunnetaan nimellä ”Gain of Function” -tutkimukset) WIV:ssä. Lisäksi USAID ei myöskään koskaan saanut terveysministeriön (Department of Health and Human Services) (HHS) EcoHealth Alliancelle lähettämää kirjettä, jossa pyydetään vapaaehtoista taukoa rahoitukselle.
1On myös hyvä tiedostaa se juonne, että juuri Peter Dazak niin ikään oli yksi niistä asiantuntijoista, jotka kansainvälinen terveysjärjestö WHO lähetti alkuvuonna 2021 Kiinaanselvittämään viruksen alkuperää - asiantuntijaryhmä ei löytänyt näyttöä laboratorio- alkuperästä..
Myös amerikkalainen konservatiivinen järjestö Judicial Watch, joka ajaa hallinnon läpinäkyvyyttä pääasiassa FOIA- vaateiden kautta, sai käsiinsä GoF- tutkimukseen liittyviä asiakirjoja kesällä 2021. Judicial Watchin dokumenteista ilmenee rahoituksen suora yhteys Wuhanin virologiseen instituuttiin:
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch ilmoitti tänään, että se on saanut terveysministeriöltä 280 sivua asiakirjoja, jotka paljastavat, että vuosina 2014-2019 tohtori Anthony Faucin johtama National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) myönsi Wuhanin virologian instituutille 826 277 dollaria lepakkokoronavirustutkimusta varten.
Asiakirjat, joista osa oli redusoitu tai kokonaan salattu, saatiin haltuun tiedonvapauslakia (FOIA) koskevan kanteen kautta, jossa haettiin tietoja yhteydenpidosta, sopimuksista ja sopimuksista Kiinassa sijaitsevan Wuhanin virologian instituutin kanssa (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (nro 1:21-cv-00696)). Virasto käsittelee vain 300 sivua asiakirjoja kuukaudessa, mikä tarkoittaa, että kestää marraskuun loppuun asti, ennen kuin asiakirjat on täysin tarkastettu ja julkaistu FOIA:n nojalla.
Tietueisiin kuuluu NIAID:n Chase Crawfordin 21. huhtikuuta 2020 lähettämä kaavio NIAID:n rahoituksesta Wuhanin virologian instituutille, jonka NIAID:n apulaisjohtaja Hugh Auchincloss ja muut NIAID:n virkamiehet lähettivät 21. huhtikuuta 2020. Wuhanin virologian instituutille vuosina 2014-2019 suunnatut viraston varat ovat yhteensä 826 277 dollaria. Kaikkien taulukossa lueteltujen hankkeiden otsikko on ”Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence”.
Sähköpostien lisäksi julkisuuteen tuli syyskuussa 2021 whistleblowerin myötä Pentagonin puolustusministeriön edistyneen tutkimuksen yksikölle DARPA:lle (Defence Advanced Research Agency) vuonna 2018 toimitettu rahoitusehdotus, jonka tavoitteena oli ”lisätä koronaviruksiin erityisesti ihmisiä varten tarkoitettuja liittymäkohtia, jotta viruksia voitaisiin tartuttaa ihmissoluihin” (*human-specific cleavage sites into coronaviruses in order to increase their ability to infect human cells). The Epoch Timesin artikkeli aiheesta toteaa asiakirjan olevan mielenkiintoinen etenkin siksi, että tämän koronaviruksen aiemmista ”samaan haaraan” kuuluvista viruksista erottaakin juuri sen erityinen kyky tarttua ihmissoluihin. Rahoitusehdotus on todettu aidoksi liittovaltion edellisen hallinnon virkailijan toimesta, artikkeli kertoo.
Virallisen tarinan mukaan DARPA kieltäytyi rahoittamasta hanketta, koska piti sitä liian riskaabelina. Myöhemmin myös Project Veritas sai käsiinsä kyseiseen aiheeseen liittyvää materiaalia whistleblowerilta, taannoin DARPA:ssa työskennelleeltä majuri Joseph Murphylta. Aiheesta lisää alla:
Project Veritas sai uusia vuodettuja asiakirjoja (10.1.2022):
Ryhmän käsiinsä saamat dokumentit ovat USA:n puolustusministeriön / Pentagonin alaosaston DARPAN (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) materiaalia. DARPA keskittyy ”Pitkälle vietyihin tutkimusprojekteihin” puolustuksen saralla.
Veritaksella on:
– projektin hylkäyspäätös
– projektihakemuksen yhteenveto
– Tapauksesta puolustusministeriön päätarkastajalle kirjoitettu erillinen varoittava raportti
Mitä Veritaksen juttu sitten kertoo? Mm. seuraavaa:
Eco Health Alliance ja Peter Daszak yrittivät hakea rahoitusta lepakkovirusten tutkimusprojektiin DARPAlta
DARPA hylkäsi dokumenttien mukaan anomuksen, koska siinä ei oltu lainkaan arvioitu mm. turvallisuusriskejä
Fauci:n ikioma instituutioNIAID* (Tartuntatautien ja allergioiden instituutti) päätti kuitenkin jatkaa tutkimusta projektin kanssa
Puolustusministeriön/ DARPA:n syynä projektin hylkäämiselle olivat mm. seuraavat seikat:
rokotteiden kyseisenlaisia viruksia vastaan tiedettiin olevan tehottomia
Gain of Function -tutkimukseen liittyen uusien varianttien luomista piikkiproteiinia hyväksikäyttäen pidettiin liian vaarallisena
Gain of Function -tutkimusta ei tehty pelkästään Wuhanissa
Mielenkiintoisena lisänä Asiakirjoissa mainitaan mm. sekä ivermektiinin että hydroksiklorokiinin toimivuus lääkkeenä tällaisissa viruksissa – eli tieto tästä on ollut olemassa jo mm DARPA:lla
Lokakuussa 2021 ollaan edetty tilanteeseen, jossa jopa valtamedian karikatyyriesimerkki Washington Post vaatii Peter Daszakin kutsumista kongressin kuultavaksi mielipidekirjoituksessaan One person who might know what really happened in Wuhan.
Eläinperäinen leviäminen on uskottava selitys, joka perustuu historialliseen kokemukseen, ja tutkijoiden olisi pyrittävä siihen tarmokkaasti. Samanlaisia ponnisteluja on kuitenkin tehtävä sen selvittämiseksi, johtuuko pandemia laboratoriossa tapahtuneesta tartunnasta tai vuodosta. Peter Daszak, New Yorkissa sijaitsevan voittoa tavoittelemattoman EcoHealth Alliance -järjestön puheenjohtaja, koordinoi viisivuotisen tutkimusohjelman, jota Yhdysvaltain kansallinen terveysinstituutti (National Institute of Health) rahoitti ja jonka tarkoituksena oli tutkia lepakoiden koronaviruksia ja niiden mahdollista leviämisriskiä ihmisiin, ja johon WIV ja sen tutkija Shi Zhengli osallistuivat merkittävästi. Kiinan hallitus, Shi ja Daszak väittävät, että laboratorio ei voi olla pandemiakannan lähde. Daszak on ollut erityisen aggressiivinen puolustaessaan eläinperäisen leviämisen hypoteesia ja hyökätessään laboratoriovuodon kimppuun ”salaliittoteoriana”.
WAPO
Juuri Daszakin roolista on tullut viime viikkoina julkisuuteen jatkuvasti uutta materiaalia. Eräällä videolla hän mm. kehuskelee ”kuinka hänen kiinalaiset kollegansa kehittävät tappajaviruksia manipuloimalla proteiineja. Alla vielä yksi esimerkki eräästä rahoitetusta projektista:
Toinen GoF- tutkimukseen ja Wuhanin virologiseen instituuttiin kytkeytyvä henkilö on tri. Ralph Baric, joka on tunnettu toimija GoF- tutkimuksen kentällä. Baric oli keskeinen ääni lobbaamassa GoF- rahoituksen jäädyttämistä vastaan vuonna 2014 ja hän on tehnyt kiinteää yhteistyötä Wuhanin instituutin kanssa. The National Pulse käsittelee Baricin tekemisiä ja lausuntoja artikkelissaan WATCH: 2018 Video Shows Wuhan Lab Partner Scheming on How to Make Money from a Pandemic. Videolla Baric nähdään pitämässä esitelmää yleisölle. Hän pyrkii siinä havainnollistamaan mm. sitä, kuinka loistavia liiketoimintamahdollisuuksia pandemiat tarjoavat niille, jotka osaavat niitä hyödyntää. Lisäksi Baric on toimut myös GoF- tutkimusrahoituksen väylänä NIAID:n ja Wuhanin välillä. Baricin nimi on myös vaitiolosopimuksessa, joka on kirjoitettu samassa yhteydessä, kun mahdollisia koronavirusrokote- ehdokkaita siirrettiin lääkevalmistaja Modernalta Pohjois- Carolinan yliopistolle – 19 päivää ennen kuin virus edes virallisesti ilmeni Wuhanissa.
Voi myös olla, että näin suuren määrän informaatiota ollessa jo julkista, kyseessä on käytännössä käsienpesun lopputurnaus, jossa erinäiset toimijat yrittävät vierittää syytä toistensa päälle. Anthony Fauci on asiassa hankalassa tilanteessa, koska hän vakuutti toistuvasti kongressin edessä, että GoF- tutkimukseen ei oltu osallistuttu NIH:n & NIAID:n taholta. Hän oli tiukassa sananvaihdossa etenkin kongressiedustaja Rand Paulin kanssa, joka on ammatiltaan lääkäri:
Lokakuussa 2021 kansallinen terveysinstituutti NIH oli pakotettu vetämään matto Faucin ja samalla myös Daszakin jalkojen alta. Instuutti ilmoitti virallisesti, että se joutuu oikaisemaan aiempia Anthony Faucin ja entisen NIH:n johtajan Francis Collinsin (joka sitten erosi) antamia lausuntoja, joissa nämä olivat vakuuttaneet, ettei instituutti ole rahoittanut GoF- tutkimusta Wuhanissa. NIH:n mukaan rahoitusta on mahdollisesti tapahtunut, mutta se johtuu instituutin mukaan siitä, että Daszakin Ecohealth Alliance on rikkonut rahoitukselle määrättyjä ehtoja.
NIH oli pakotettu oikaisuun siinä vaiheessa, kun media oli saanut selville, että Ecohealth Alliance oli toimittanut rahoitusraporttinsa poikkeuksellisesti kaksi vuotta myöhässä määräajasta. The Intercept kirjoittaa aiheesta vielä lisää:
The Intercept -lehdelle julkaistuista asiakirjoista puuttuu myös viiden vuoden edistymisraportti, joka kattaa ratkaisevan tärkeän ajanjakson kesäkuusta 2018 toukokuuhun 2019 ja jonka piti NIH:n ohjeiden mukaan valmistua syyskuussa 2019. Tutkijat sanoivat, että NIH:n ohjelmavastaavat jättävät joskus huomiotta viimeisen raportointijakson raportit, mutta yhdessä vuoden neljän raportin oudon päivämäärän kanssa puute herättää kysymyksiä, joihin viraston pitäisi vastata.
THE INTERCEPT
Yhdysvaltalaisten toimijoiden roolin selvittämisessä Wuhanissa tehdyn GoF- tutkimuksen osalta tullee viemään vuosia ja kokonaiskuvaa ei välttämättä ehkä koskaan saada selville. Oikeusministeriö on kuitenkin säännöllisesti asettanut syytteeseen henkilöitä etenkin akateemiselta kentältä Kiinan laskuun toimimisesta – myös nyt pandemian aikana. Yksi mielenkiintoisimmista tapauksista lienee nanoteknologiaan erikoistuneen tohtori Charles Lieberin tapaus. Lieber osallistui Kiinan ”Thousand Talents Plan” -ohjelmaan ja teki yhteistyötä Wuhanin teknillisen yliopiston kanssa ’strategisen tutkijan’ nimikkeellä. Lieberin mahdolliset kytkökset virustutkimukseen ovat vielä auki, mutta hänen osaamisalueensa, nanoteknologia on herättänyt paljon spekulaatioita asiasta.
”Lieber”, kirjoitti eräs lääketieteen ammattilainen, ”on tehnyt valtavan harppauksen ultrajoustavan verkkoelektroniikan saralla, minkä hän lupaa mahdollistavan niin sanotun ’tarkkuuselektronisen lääketieteen’. Teknologia ei juurikaan aktivoi immuunivastetta, mutta pysyy hyvin lähellä soluja, joita niiden on tarkoitus vakoilla.”
Kaiken kaikkiaan viitteet – tai edes mahdollisuus siihen, että yhdysvaltalaisten veronmaksajien rahoja käytettiin rahoittamaan mahdollisesti tämänhetkisen pandemian aiheuttaneen viruksen kehittämistä, on kaikessa banaaliudessaan hyytävä ja samalla mielipuolisen absurdi vaihtoehto – se ei kuitenkaan nykytiedon valossa ole missään tapauksessa poissuljettua.

2) DARPA hylkäsi dokumenttien mukaan anomuksen, koska siinä ei oltu lainkaan arvioitu mm. turvallisuusriskejä
3) Fauci:n ikioma lafkaNIAID* (Tartuntatautien ja allergioiden instituutti) päätti kuitenkin jatkaa tutkimusta projektin kanssa
4) Asiakirjoissa mainitaan mm. sekä ivermektiinin että hydroksiklorokiinin toimivuus lääkkeenä tällaisissa viruksissa – eli tieto on ollut
5) Puolustusministeriön/ DARPA:n syynä projektin hylkäämiselle olivat mm. seuraavat seikat:
rokotteiden kyseisenlaisia viruksia vastaan tiedettiin olevan tehottomia
Gain of Function -tutkimukseen liittyen uusien varianttien luomista piikkiproteiinia hyväksikäyttäen pidettiin liian vaarallisena
6) Gain of Function -tutkimusta ei tehty pelkästään Wuhanissa

He appears to confirm that effective therapeutics were known and suppressed for reasons that are yet unclear. There is certainly plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that therapeutics were purposely withheld at great cost to hundreds of thousands of Americans” – artikkeli (päivitetty 13.1.2022)

They are desperately trying to make you believe the virus came from nature. No way. | Steve Kirsch
It is 2.5 years later and two papers appear on the same day?!? Should you believe it? I do not. Neither does Robert Malone or Chris Martenson. Here’s why.
What If COVID Outbreak Is Part Of The Pentagon’s Biowarfare Plan?
According to Sachs and Harrison, “the full story of the outbreak could involve America’s role in researching coronaviruses and in sharing its biotechnology with others around the world.” The professors pointed out that “US scientists who work with SARS-like coronaviruses regularly create and test dangerous novel variants” to develop drugs and vaccines against them. These experiments, also known as “gain-of-function” research, have been conducted for decades prompting concerns that one day they could lead to an accidental outbreak or end up in the wrong hands, the scholars highlighted.
American lab says its contract with Wuhan Institute of Virology may have violated the law
Now UTMB has revealed that the Galveston lab drafted legal agreements with two other labs — the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute and the Institute of Medical Biology in Kunming — containing the same provision empowering each to ask the other party to destroy any files and any backup files. The Institute of Medical Biology in Kunming — which recently certified its maximum biocontainment lab — had apparently not yet signed the agreement.

It turns out that the “PRRARSV” motif is more than a furin-cleavage site – More evidence to support the construction hypothesis? | Dr. Jessica Rose
All four of these inserts had sequence similarity to motifs found in the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It was my impression that most people bought the idea that there was no possible way that function could be ascribed to these tiny little peptides. But then again, the fact that they were all so beautifully situated on the spike protein for easy access as binding sites (potentially functional), does indeed raise some furry eyebrows. The manuscript was very rapidly withdrawn from pre-print by the authors themselves. Someone did not want this paper being read. So, please read it. It’s not long and it’s not complicated.
Investigation: In 2018, the US Deep State funded Daszak to create Covid-19 for Moderna’s Vaccine Platform
So we know that a human called Peter Daszak proposed the insertion in early 2018. We know that only a human could have achieved it. And we know that said insertion was achieved in late 2019. And we know that said insertion was the only difference between SARS-CoV-2 (causing Covid-19) and the bat coronavirus RaTG13, longer than one Codon (3 bases). And we know that the insertion occurred at the place where Daszak had proposed to insert it. And we know that the insertion was a humanised furin cleavage site as Daszak had proposed. In other words, SARS-CoV-2 was the fulfilment of the 75-page project DEFUSE proposal.
SARS-CoV-2-like Spike Protein Sequences with Affinity to hACE2 Were Present in the Public Databases in 2005. Plus, a Hint on SARS-CoV-2 Laboratory Origin
In 2020, I published an analysis of all of the available SARS-CoV-2 and SARS sequences at the time in search of a specific relationship. If any SARS sequences published prior to 2020 were similar to SARS-CoV-2 with respect to functional motifs, then the question of origins of SARS-CoV-2 would have to address how a SARS-CoV-2 like spike protein made its way back through time to when the older SARS sequences were being published.

*) #the_great_deception | #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Government’s National Security Arm Took Charge During the Covid Response
FEMA replaced HHS as the Lead Federal Agency, with no warning or preparation
What Zimmerman is saying here is that, in the PanCAP-A org chart, where the NSC is in charge of policy and the HHS is in charge of almost everything else – actually, FEMA is in charge of everything else.
This means that, in effect, starting on March 18, 2020, the HHS –which comprises the CDC, NIAID, NIH and other public-health-related agencies – had NO OFFICIAL LEADERSHIP ROLE in pandemic response – not in determining policy and not in implementing policy.
This is a staggering piece of information, considering that all pandemic preparedness plans, as Zimmerman notes, placed the Health and Human Services Agency (HHS) at the helm of pandemic response.
Those details were made public last week because of a successful FOIA lawsuit by independent journalist James Tobias.
It was known from the earlier Fauci email release that a group of scientists who receive funding from Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases believed that the virus might have leaked from a Chinese lab.
One leading scientist, Kristian Andersen, had told Fauci in a Jan. 31, 2020, email that “some of the features (potentially) look engineered.”
However, immediately after the Feb. 1 teleconference, the entire group, including Andersen and Garry, publicly aggressively pushed the opposing natural origin narrative. On Feb. 4, at a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, Andersen ridiculed claims that COVID-19 came out of a lab as “crackpot theories.”
*) COVID origins ’may have been tied’ to China’s bioweapons program: GOP report
The information was released in a minority staff report by members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Wednesday night.
”Contrary to the implication of the [Intelligence Community’s] declassified report, based on our investigation involving a variety of public and non-public information, we conclude that there are indications that SARS-CoV-2 may have been tied to China’s biological weapons research program and spilled over to the human population during a lab-related incident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” a summary of the report states. ”The IC failed to adequately address this information in its classified Updated Assessment. When we attempted to raise the issues with the IC, it failed to respond.”
We note that it is written to the Inspector General of the Department of Defense from US Marine Corps Major Joseph Murphy, Commandant of the Marine Corps Fellows, DARPA. But was the document authentic? Could it have been a forgery?
The subject is, “SARS-CoV-2 ORIGINS INVESTIGATION WITH US GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS UNDISCLOSED DOCUMENT ANALYSIS.”
In an attempt to verify this document, TrialSite communicated with DARPA. In the email, this media explains that we sought to determine the validity and veracity of the document in circulation from Project Veritas on DARPA formal letterhead purportedly discussing the origins of SARS-CoV-2 as the U.S. government.
DARPA did respond. Tabatha Thompson, Chief of Communications for DARPA, wrote back:
“The agency is precluded by Federal Acquisition Regulations from discussing who may or may not have bid on a DARPA program, and we are unable to confirm the authenticity of the documents Project Veritas has published.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | #the_great_deception | U.S. Government Identified as Original Source of Lab Leak Theory. What’s Really Going On?
Why did Radio Free Asia and the Washington Times introduce and promote the idea of Covid as a Chinese bioweapon? RFA appears to have done so in order to counter the Chinese lack of concern about the virus, hence the heading: “Experts Cast Doubts on Chinese Official Claims Around ‘New’ Wuhan Coronavirus.” The Washington Times report indicates at one point it is in response to rumours “circulating on the Chinese Internet claiming the virus is part of a U.S. conspiracy to spread germ weapons”, citing an unnamed “U.S. official”
The plot thickens when you realise that Radio Free Asia is a U.S.-Government-funded media outlet that is essentially a CIA front, once named by the New York Times as a key part in the agency’s “worldwide propaganda network”. As Whitney Webb pointed out right back in January 2020, though RFA is no longer run directly by the CIA, it is managed by the Government-funded Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which answers directly to the Secretary of State – who, at the outset of the pandemic was Mike Pompeo, whose previous job was as CIA Director.
This means we can see that the Covid lab origin narrative originated with the U.S. Government’s security services, and did so very early, prior to the first death, as part of a deliberate effort to increase alarm in China and elsewhere. It was also designed to counter the anticipated claims, which had not yet been made (though the anonymous U.S. official falsely claimed they had been), that the virus was a U.S. biological attack.
*) Republicans React To Energy Department’s Reported Finding That COVID ’Likely’ Leaked From Wuhan Lab
A Wall Street Journal article on Feb. 26 reported that a classified intelligence report by the Energy Department said that the virus likely leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“So the government caught up to what Real America knew all along,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote in a Twitter post on Sunday.
The responses came as GOP lawmakers ramp up investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and allegations of government-big tech censorship of the debate.
The Energy Department was previously undecided on the issue but now joins the FBI in corroborating the lab leak hypothesis, according to the report. Several people who have read the report said the Department’s judgment was made with “low confidence,” the Journal reported.
Responding to the report on Sunday, White House national security advisor Jake Sullivan told CNN that the intelligence community does not have a “definitive answer” on the matter at this point.
*) #narrative_turning? | #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | DOE Finds COVID Likely Emerged From Wuhan Lab, Sparks Congressional Investigation
A U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) report has concluded that COVID-19 emerged from a laboratory leak in Wuhan, China, and the agency — along with the FBI and the U.S. Department of State — is now under the microscope of a Congressional committee investigation.
The DOE’s revelations come from a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and members of Congress.
The DOE’s conclusion was first reported Sunday in the Wall Street Journal, which said the classified report was based on new intelligence and noted in an update to a previously classified 2021 document from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
According to that report, the intelligence committee was divided as to the origins of COVID-19.
Four intelligence agencies had “assessed with low confidence that the virus likely jumped from animals to humans naturally in the wild,” and one “assessed with moderate confidence that the pandemic was the result of a laboratory accident.” Three other “intelligence community elements” were undecided.

*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | #the_great_deception | New WHO Chief Scientist Made Crucial Change To Paper Claiming COVID-19 Didn’t Come From Lab
the early 2020 paper, Lipkin and four co-authors claimed: “It is improbable that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through laboratory manipulation of a related SARS-CoV-like coronavirus.”
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19.
A draft of the manuscript, published by Nature, included a different word, the House panel found.
“Sorry to micro-manage/microedit! But would you be willing to change one sentence?” Farrar wrote to Kristian Andersen, who co-authored the paper, in an email just one day before publication.
Farrar asked to insert “improbable” in place of “unlikely,” the email showed.
“Sure,” Andersen responded.
The paper also stated that “SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct” and that the authors “do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”
“This evidence suggests that Dr. Farrar was more involved in the drafting and publication of Proximal Origin than previously known and possibly should have been credited or acknowledged for this involvement,” the panel said.
Asked for a comment from Farrar, the World Health Organization (WHO) told The Epoch Times via email he hasn’t yet started in his new position.
The British scientist was, at the time of the messages, at the helm of the Wellcome Trust, which controls millions of dollars in funding for research in the UK.

There is no definitional requirement that a ”biological weapon” should kill everyone or even most infected persons. It is enough that the pathogen kills some persons. There is also no requirement that a biological weapon is part of a declared war or is released purely for military purposes.
If Sars-Cov-2 was produced deliberately to cause human disease and deaths in some individuals, it is a bioweapon. So, we need to ask, was Sars-Cov-2 produced deliberately?

It’s some of the strongest support yet, experts told me, that the pandemic began when SARS-CoV-2 hopped from animals into humans, rather than in an accident among scientists experimenting with viruses.

“You can’t trash the agency you need for lobbying contacts and contracts with, right?” explained the former congressional investigator, who describes the multi-billion dollar biodefense system as a “contract racket”, with taxpayers funding grants and contracts for virologists to find viruses hidden throughout the world; bring them back to labs for research, including gain-of-function studies that make viruses more deadly; and then partner with biomedical companies and Big pharma to create profitable therapeutics and vaccines.

The U.S. intelligence community and health officials opposed publishing information about the Wuhan Institute of Virology because it could raise questions about research and labs supported by the U.S., according to an email obtained by U.S. Right to Know.
Officials at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of State voiced concerns that publicly questioning research at the Wuhan lab complex “called out actions that we ourselves are doing” and “demanded access that we ourselves would never provide,” the email states.
The email may offer a window into one reason the origin of a pandemic that has killed more than one million Americans remains undetermined.

Callahan had also supported gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and he spoke on gain-of-function research alongside Chinese CDC Director George Gao. Gao later appeared at both the Event 201 simulation of a coronavirus pandemic weeks before the initial outbreak of Covid as well as the subsequent simulation of the first-ever global outbreak of monkeypox, the facts of which came true soon after in the exact week predicted in the simulation.
According to National Geographic, Callahan was “working with Chinese colleagues on a longstanding avian flu collaboration” sometime in November 2019 when they first mentioned the appearance of a “strange new virus,” later named SARS-CoV-2. Callahan then flew to Singapore to see patients who had symptoms of the new virus. “After Singapore, Callahan flew to Washington, D.C., where he briefed U.S. government officials on where the disease might occur next,” National Geographic recalls.

The ranking member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and staff reviewed more than 50,000 documents for the report, which found that the COVID-19 virus was created in a lab and the outbreak was likely the result of two unintentional lab leaks.
”This report concludes most likely this was two leaks,” Marshall said during a briefing with reporters ahead of the release of the report. ”The possibility of a lab leak in the September-October [2019] time frame, even as early as July or August, was followed by vaccine development in November 2019. And then another lab leak seems to be the most sensible explanation in this retrospective review.”

Concerns about China’s first maximum-security lab and bat coronaviruses had reached the highest levels of the U.S. national security apparatus by December 2017 — two years before COVID-19 first emerged in Wuhan.
Two U.S. Department of State cablesdescribed a shortage of safety training at the WIV and the danger posed by novel coronaviruses in 2018.
The cables outlined details about the shortage of adequately trained staff, WIV senior scientist Zhengli Shi’s rejected request to study coronaviruses at the highest biocontainment level, and the discovery of novel SARS-like bat coronaviruses that bind to human receptors.
The cables generated a public outcry after The Washington Post reported them in April 2020.
They also generated quiet astonishment within the State Department, according to emails obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The emails also show the apparent indignation of the official who authored the cables.
According to that official, whose name is redacted, the information had been communicated to the “NSC.”

As the lab leak theory becomes more widely discussed and accepted, much of Chan and Ridley’s work has been vindicated. In February 2023, FBI Director Chris Wray told Fox News, “The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident.” The Energy Department released a low-confidence report with a similar conclusion, and just last week, the head of China’s CDC said that a lab leak should not be ruled out.

*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | So, COVID-19 is a Bioweapon After All, The Times Explains – Sars-Cov-2 is a result of bioweapons research, and work of Ralph Baric and Peter Daszak
The article is well-researched and is based on interviews with scientists, intelligence officers, and primary investigators.
The Sunday Times has reviewed hundreds of documents, including previously confidential reports, internal memos, scientific papers and email correspondence that has been obtained through sources or by freedom of information campaigners in the three years since the pandemic started. We also interviewed the US State Department investigators — including experts on China, emerging pandemic threats, and biowarfare — who conducted the first significant US inquiry into the origins of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Covid-19 was a product of bioweapon and vaccine research:
One of the reasons there is no published information on such work, according to all three investigators, is because the shadow project on the mine viruses at the Wuhan institute was being funded by the Chinese military.
The State Department investigators wrote in their report: “Despite presenting itself as a civilian institution, the United States has determined that the Wuhan Institute of Virology has collaborated on publications and secret projects with China’s military. The Wuhan Institute of Virology has engaged in classified research, including laboratory animal experiments, on behalf of the Chinese military since at least 2017.”
My view is that the reason Mojiang was covered up was due to military secrecy related to [the army’s] pursuit of dual use capabilities in virological biological weapons and vaccines.
A vaccine to shift power
The investigators believe the Chinese military had taken an interest in developing a vaccine for the viruses so they could be used as potential bioweapons. If a country could inoculate its population against its own secret virus, it might have a weapon to shift the balance of world power.
Mind you, a while ago, I also explained that Sars-Cov-2 is a bioweapon:

No later than Sunday, and perhaps sooner, America’s director of National Intelligence must, by law, “declassify” and make public all “information relating to the origins of Covid-19”.
It could be a huge moment, or a terrible anticlimax.

Peter Hotez, dean of the Baylor College of Medicine National School of Tropical Medicine, has been a fierce critic of potential hearings next year into a possible lab origin of COVID-19 and whether the National Institutes of Health prematurely discredited the hypothesis.
Hotez decried the hearings as nothing less than “a plan to undermine the fabric of science in America” in a viral tweet thread last week. Hotez also dismissed as an “outlandish conspiracy” the possibility that a lab accident sparked the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, Hotez’s own 2012 to 2017 NIH grant for the development of a SARS vaccine had the stated aim of responding to any “accidental release from a laboratory,” in addition to a possible zoonotic spillover of the virus.
The $6.1 million NIH grant also raises the possibility of “deliberate spreading of the virus by a bioterrorist attack.”
This report responds to the COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023, which called for the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) to declassify information relating to potential links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. This report outlines the IC’s understanding of the WIV, its capabilities, and the actions of its personnel leading up to and in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. This report does not address the merits of the two most likely pandemic origins hypotheses, nor does it explore other biological facilities in Wuhan other than the WIV. A classified annex to this report includes information that was necessary to exclude from the unclassified portion of this report in order to protect sources and methods, but the information contained in the annex is consistent with the unclassified assessments contained in this report. – document

The brief did not offer any information beyond that mandate, including possible intelligence about other coronavirus labs in the city or the intelligence that persuaded some agencies the virus has a natural origin.
The brief does not appear to include new intelligence but rather select details about intelligence the U.S. government has had for more than two years.

According to a Tuesday report from Bloomberg, the United States notified the institute of the decision to suspend funding on Monday and reportedly outlined in a memo plans to block the institute from receiving any potential future support.
The institute, located in the city where the COVID-19 outbreak began in China, previously received funding from the National Institutes of Health to conduct gain-of-function research on novel coronaviruses, and some believe it to be the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, though no governing body has made that definitive determination.

More than 1,700 people have signed a petition calling for the retraction of the seminal scientific correspondence paper, “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,” that claimed COVID-19 was “not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”
The paper — sometimes referred to as the “Proximal Origins” paper or the “Nature Medicine paper” — was published March 17, 2020, in Nature Medicine journal.
It was used by former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, former National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins, and other federal public health officials in 2020 and beyond to dismiss the possibility of a lab leak.
Biosafety Now — a nongovernmental organization that “advocates for reducing numbers of high-level biocontainment laboratories and for strengthening biosafety, biosecurity, and biorisk management for research on pathogens” — on July 19 launched the petition, stating, “It is imperative that this clearly fraudulent and clearly damaging paper be removed from the scientific literature.”

Fauci insisted repeatedly that the National Institutes of Health had never funded any gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Paul contended at the time, in arguing with Fauci, that the research done on viruses at WIV — which got US funding — matched the NIH’s own description of gain-of-function research and accused Fauci of playing word games.
A newly surfaced February 2020 email about a COVID task-force call between him, his associates and UK science big Dr. Jeremy Farrar shows Fauci not only using the term “gain-of-function” to describe the work at Wuhan,but highlighting serious misgivings about the virus being of natural origin.

US President Joe Biden’s 90-day probe into the origins of Covid-19 censored the input of intelligence agency scientists who concluded the virus was most likely genetically engineered.
In May 2021, President Biden tasked the Intelligence Community with providing an assessment into how the pandemic began after reports, first published by Sky News, that researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been hospitalised with Covid-like symptoms in November 2019 in the suspected first cluster of the pandemic.
When the report was published it concluded that most intelligence agencies assessed the virus, even if it had leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was natural rather than manipulated in a laboratory.
Sky News can reveal that this was not the assessments made by the four groups within the intelligence agencies that actually engaged in scientific analysis, who concurred that there was either a highly likely or reasonable chance the virus was genetically engineered.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Yes SARSCoV2 was a ”novel” coronavirus planned in 2018
”Besides the furin cleavage site (FCS), SARS2 has another unique feature mentioned in DEFUSE not yet seen in any natural SARS-like viruses – an ablated N-linked glycan at position N370. This glycan was ablated via a T372A amino acid mutation that came about via a double nucleotide mutation of the original ACT codon into GCA (the latter, incidentally, is the same codon as the one coding for alanine – out of 4 possible alanine codons – in the PRRA insertion which has created an FCS in SARS2).
Importantly, the T327A mutation greatly increases SARS2 infectivity in human lung cells but, just like an FCS, this kind of a mutation seems to have selective pressure AGAINST it in ancestral bat viruses.
DEFUSE’s interest in N-linked glycans stems from a very curious observation about SARS1 whose bat progenitor seems to have temporarily lost two of its N-linked glycans in civet SARS1 progenitors before re-acquiring them, and this led virologists to hypothesize that those glycans could be relevant for host switching. This is described in DEFUSE in a somewhat convoluted way:”

Two years after launching what officials hailed as a five year flagship project for hunting viruses among wildlife to prevent human pandemics, the US Agency for International Development is shuttering the enterprise. David Willman reports
A flagship project for the controversial practice of hunting viruses among wildlife in South East Asia, Africa, and Latin America to prevent human outbreaks and pandemics is being quietly dropped by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) after private and bipartisan criticism over the safety of such research, The BMJ has found.
For more than a decade the US government has been funding international projects engaged in identifying exotic wildlife viruses that might someday infect humans. Although critics have raised concerns over the potentially catastrophic risks of such virus hunting activities,1 hundreds of millions of dollars in unabated funding have symbolised a commitment to the effort.
The shuttering of the project, as described in a new congressional budget document and during interviews with scientists and federal policy makers, marks an abrupt retreat by the US government from wildlife virus hunting, an activity that has also been funded by the Department of Defense and the National Institutes of Health. The turnabout follows early warnings raised by sceptics—including officials in the Biden White House—that the $125m (£99m; €115m) “DEEP VZN” programme could inadvertently ignite a pandemic. The misgivings continue to resonate, as the cause of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the world’s deadliest such event in a century, remains unproved.

They found approximately 7,000 studies included this type of research and randomly chose 1,000 to manually sort through, leaving them with 488 publications.
Of this literature, 25 percent involved only GOF work, 29 percent involved both GOF and LOF and 46 percent involved only LOF research.
Exploring which pathogens were most tested, the team found 64 percent were viruses. Nine percent of those viruses were those that belonged to the Coronaviridae family, which includes coronaviruses.

*) Why did Peter Daszak change his mind?– New documents reveal he warned against risky research
In fact, two years before the pandemic erupted, Daszak was involved in drafting a presentation about the dangers of engineered viruses being accidentally or even deliberately released into the world.
In this newly uncovered presentation, the scientist warned that “gain-of-function” research — which boosts the transmissibility of viruses — was “elevating the risk” that “deadly novel biological agents” could be released through accident or design. The document, demanding the urgent development of counter-measures, put such risk at the same level as natural spillover from the wild. It even focused on the specific threat from coronaviruses.
Yet after the pandemic erupted in Wuhan, Daszak headed the charge against those claiming the mysterious new disease might be potentially linked to research in the city, with even the British Medical Journal branding him the leader of the campaign to label such critics as conspiracy theorists.
Little wonder the disclosure of this document has provoked angry claims of hypocrisy. Richard Ebright, an expert on biosecurity and professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University in New Jersey, told me it meant that Daszak and his allies have spent the past three years not telling the world the whole truth. The revelations, he said, underlined “the shocking recklessness” of funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan that was being carried out at a low-level biosecurity lab “with no protections beyond a pair of gloves, a lab coat and a hood”.
Today, Daszak is the $460,368-a-year president of EcoHealth Alliance, a New York-based group that channelled US research funding to Wuhan Institute of Virology until the payments were exposed and terminated by President Trump in April 2020. The former Kingston University snail researcher responded with outrage, rounding on suggestions that research in Wuhan might have sparked the pandemic. Typical was a June 2020 article in The Guardian entitled “Ignore the conspiracy theories: scientists know Covid-19 wasn’t created in a lab” that insisted claims of “frankenviruses” made in labs were “the latest chapter in a tale of blame, misinformation and finger-pointing”.

This allegation is even more interesting in light of a report from two weeks ago that the CIA bribed analysts to say Covid-19 did not originate in a Chinese lab.
According to a ’senior-level’ CIA whistleblower, the agency ’tried to pay off six analysts who found SARS-CoV-2 likely originated in a Wuhan lab if they changed their position and said the virus jumped from animals to humans.’
”According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China,” reads the letter from Wenstrup.
”The seventh member of the Team, who also happened to be the most senior, was the lone officer to believe COVID-19 originated through zoonosis.
”The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position,” the letters continue, adding that the analysts were ”experienced officers with significant scientific expertise.”
”These discussions resulted in publications indicating that Dr. Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, was working with the CIA, and that the biological agent commonly known as COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) had been in development at EcoHealth Alliance since 2012, and other evidence suggested that SARS-CoV-2 began earlier than 2012. The development of SARS-CoV-2 included several prominent US-based scientists and US academic institutions that received funding from numerous federal government agencies and private non-governmental organizations to complete the gain of function work on SARS-CoV-2.”
Huff also posted a document obtained by Project Veritas and published in January of 2022 purportedly authored (and not denied) by Maj. Joseph Murphy (USMC), which states ”SARS-CoV-2 is an American-created recombinant bat vaccine” which was ”created by an EcoHealth Alliance program at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).”

1. SARS-COV2 was created in the lab in Wuhan, China; 2. Anthony Fauci funded the creation of SARS-COV2 and lied to Congress about funding Gain-of-Function work; 3.

Fauci added that researchers in Wuhan were conducting dangerous “gain-of-function” studies to make bat coronaviruses more deadly and likely to infect humans. “The suspicion was heightened by the fact that the scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments to determine the molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection, and the outbreak originated in Wuhan,” Fauci wrote.

*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Officials With Ties to Wuhan Institute Still Conspiring to Discredit Theory That COVID May Have Leaked From Lab
According to Thacker, four years after the virus appeared, this “conspiracy to deny” the lab-leak theory continues.
In one recent example, Peter Daszak, Ph.D., president of the EcoHealth Alliance, who conducted gain-of-function research alongside scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, said at a conference that the pandemic started through zoonosis — spillover of the virus from an animal to humans.
“We know this is misleading and dishonest, and that much of the evidence points to a lab accident by Daszak’s colleagues at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Thacker wrote.
This evidence, Thacker said, was known to scientists soon after COVID-19 appeared.
“Virologists knew within a month after the pandemic began in 2019 that the COVID virus appeared genetically manipulated and that it may have leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China — a lab that was funded by Anthony Fauci at the NIH [National Institutes of Health],” he wrote.
Yet, Thacker said, “Instead of explaining this to the public, these scientists launched a misinformation campaign with complicit science writers to label critics ‘conspiracy theorists’ and misdirect attention away from their research colleagues and funders as the possible cause of so many deaths and unimaginable economic catastrophe.”
As part of this misinformation campaign, Thacker wrote, the same scientists, along with complicit figures in government and the media, labeled any speech that questioned the official COVID-19 narrative as “misinformation.”
Thacker said government agencies continue to perpetuate a cover-up of the lab-leak theory. “The NIH has hidden what it knows and when it knew it, and is ignoring Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.”
The FOIA requests came from several organizations that are now suing the NIH “to force compliance with FOIA so they can gain access to public documents.” Yet even when the NIH responds, “They still hide information by heavily redacting documents,” according to Thacker.
In one instance, “The Intercept sued the NIH for documents on the pandemic’s origin and received 92 pages that were fully redacted,” Thacker wrote.
Nevertheless, Thacker said, “Multiple lawsuits against the NIH continue to move forward and uncover more and more evidence of what the government knew and when NIH officials knew it.”
Thacker, who was recently interviewed by producer Vanessa Dylyn for an upcoming documentary about the damage the pandemic caused to society, said he received “6 pages of questions” concerning the possible lab accident at Wuhan — which he decided to turn into an article.
“So much has happened since December 31, 2019, when the World Health Organization was notified of a new pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan, China,” Thacker wrote. “Instead of going over how this all unfolded over four years, I decided to lay out what happened, based on what we now know. It’s been a long, tough journey.”

US-funded $3.7 million project approved by Trump’s Covid-19 guru Dr Anthony Fauci in 2015 after US ban imposed on ‘monster-germ’ research
The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded bat-coronavirus research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China to the tune of US$3.7 million, a recent article in the British newspaper Daily Mail revealed.
Back in October 2014, the US government had placed a federal moratorium on gain-of-function (GOF) research – altering natural pathogens to make them more deadly and infectious – as a result of rising fears about a possible pandemic caused by an accidental or deliberate release of these genetically engineered monster germs.
This was in part due to lab accidents at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in July 2014 that raised questions about biosafety at US high-containment labs.
At that time, the CDC had closed two labs and halted some biological shipments in the wake of several incidents in which highly pathogenic microbes were mishandled by US government laboratories: an accidental shipment of live anthrax, the discovery of forgotten live smallpox samples and a newly revealed incident in which a dangerous influenza strain was accidentally shipped from the CDC to another lab.
A CDC internal report described how scientists failed to follow proper procedures to ensure samples were inactivated before they left the lab, and also found “multiple other problems” with operating procedures in the anthrax lab.
As such in October 2014, because of public health concerns, the US government banned all federal funding on efforts to weaponize three viruses – influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

He insisted, repeatedly, that an epidemic that started in Wuhan was unlikely to have been the result of an escape from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
But Fauci had an incentive to arrive at his conclusion about the deadly pandemic that started in Wuhan. The WIV was known for doing high-risk virology research studying and manipulating coronaviruses. Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for almost 40 years, had funded such research at the WIV.

EcoHealth Alliance had previously collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, including funding its research with U.S. taxpayer dollars received via grants from the National Institutes of Health.
In February of 2020, Daszak was a co-signatory of a letter with other health experts published in The Lancet, a prominent medical journal, that dismissed the notion that COVID-19 emerged from a lab. “We sign this statement in solidarity with all scientists and health professionals in China who continue to save lives and protect global health during the challenge of the COVID-19 outbreak,” the letter read, also stating “[w]e stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin. Scientists from multiple countries have published and analyzed genomes of the causative agent…and they overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife.”
Daszak later joined a team of scientists, under the World Health Organization (WHO), that traveled to Wuhan in China to investigate the virus. Daszak’s team “discounted claims that the virus originated in a lab, saying that possibility was so unlikely that it was not worth further investigation,” according to an interview of Daszak by The New York Times after his trip, a finding that was supplemented by his team’s report.
However, many observers raised concerns over Daszak’s possible conflict of interest due to Daszak’s organization, EcoHealth Alliance, previously working with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Dr. Morens wrote to colleagues after senators, including Mr. Johnson, wrote to then-National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Dr. Francis Collins asking for documents on how the NIH handled the COVID-19 pandemic, which started in a city that features a laboratory that ran risky tests with funds from the NIH.
”Based on this email, it appears that Dr. Morens may have intentionally deleted or destroyed records relating to the origins of COVID-19 given his admission that he has ’retained very few emails or documents on these matters,” Mr. Johnson told Mr. Becerra. ”Further, Dr. Morens’ stated preference to receive correspondence on ’sensitive issues’ through Gmail shows an apparent evasion of federal record keeping requirements and a complete disregard for transparency.”
More than a year after SARS-CoV-2 emerged as a global threat, there is still no clarity about its origins. Those who suspect that the virus was developed in a laboratory are frequently dismissed as conspiracy theorists, but there is growing evidence to support the suggestion that gain-of-function research has made SARS-CoV-2 particularly virulent.
While some scientists still argue that SARS-CoV-2 is a product of natural evolution, others consider an accidental or deliberate leak from a laboratory to be a valid hypothesis that merits further investigation.
For decades, gain-of-function research, which alters viruses to increase their transmissibility, pathogenicity, virulence or lethality, has been carried out by American and Chinese scientists working in collaboration. There have been numerous ‘leaks’ of viruses from laboratories, including during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak that occurred in 2003–2004.

It’s simply a matter of what the stated goals are.
This is openly acknowledged [See below] by scientists associated with EcoHealth Alliance when talking about alleged programs in other counties — like Iraq.
For much of this year, Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance garnered a great deal of sympathetic media coverage after its $3.7 million five-year NIH grant was prematurely cut when the Trump administration learned that EcoHealth Alliance funded bat coronavirus research at the WIV.
The temporary cut was widely depicted in major media as Trump undermining the EcoHealth Alliance’s noble fight against pandemics. The termination was reversed by NIH in late August, and even upped to $7.5 million. But entirely overlooked amid the claims and counter-claims was that far more funding for the EcoHealth Alliance comes from the Pentagon than the NIH.
To be strictly fair to the media, Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance obscures its Pentagon funding. On its website EcoHealth Alliance states that “A copy of the EHA Grant Management Manual is available upon request to the EHA Chief Financial Officer at finance ( at ) ecohealthalliance.org”. But an email to that address and numerous others, including Peter Daszak’s, requesting that Manual, as well as other financial information, was not returned. Neither were repeated voicemails.
Only buried under their “Privacy Policy,” under a section titled “EcoHealth Alliance Policy Regarding Conflict of Interest in Research,” does the EcoHealth Alliance concede it is the “recipient of various grant awards from federal agencies including the National Institute of Health, the National Science Foundation, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the US Agency for International Development and the Department of Defense.”
Even this listing is deceptive. It obscures that its two largest funders are the Pentagon and the State Department (USAID); whereas the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which accounts for a minuscule $74,487, comes before either.
Meticulous investigation of U.S. government databases reveals that Pentagon funding for the EcoHealth Alliance from 2013 to 2020, including contracts, grants and subcontracts, was just under $39 million. Most, $34.6 million, was from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), which is a branch of the DOD which states it is tasked to “counter and deter weapons of mass destruction and improvised threat networks.”
Most of the remaining money to EHA was from USAID (State Dept.), comprising at least $64,700,000 (1). These two sources thus total over $103 million. (See Fig).
Published early in the pandemic, an article in Nature Medicine titled “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” — known to many simply as “Proximal Origin” — helped push the lab leak theory of the origins of COVID-19 to the outer fringes by March 2020.
“We do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible,” the analysis stated, which had been read about three million times within weeks of publication. “Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”
For years, the infectious diseases community had debated whether cutting-edge virology — gain-of-function research that generates more dangerous viruses — could cause a pandemic. Once a pandemic arrived, that debate abruptly ended.
The virologists had sold the public on an irrefutably natural origin.
But emails and Slack chat messages acquired through the Freedom of Information Act and subpoenaed by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis show that the virologists who wrote the analysis privately expressed concerns that the virus could have emerged from a lab. They also reveal the depth of involvement of some of the most powerful men in science, including former pandemic response leader and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, in shaping the article. Fauci’s institute had funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology through an American research organization called EcoHealth Alliance.
The controversy over “Proximal Origin” represents years of unanswered questions about how a scientific hypothesis that some scientists and intelligence agencies now consider likely was cast as a conspiracy theory — culminating in a committee hearing this summer.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Former Biden COVID Official: A Breach in a Wuhan Laboratory Could Have Triggered a Pandemic
Former White House National Security Council pandemic official Dr. Raj Panjabi has now publicly speculated that a laboratory breach in Wuhan, China, may have been the source of COVID-19.
Yesterday at the annual Forbes Healthcare Summit, Panjabi stated, “It is plausible that Covid originated in a laboratory accident in Wuhan,” as reported by The Daily Mail. “We have got to do more to keep labs safe.”
Recall that in May 2020, Biden referred to former President Donald Trump’s assertion that Covid originated from erroneous Chinese experiments as “nakedly xenophobic.” However, numerous scientists and US government officials, including the FBI and the Department of Energy, now consider it to be the most probable source of the pandemic.
Panjabi further cautioned that the likelihood of future pandemics increasing globally is expanding.
“There is a 50 percent risk one will happen in the next 25 years. This is because of globalization, or what I call the three Ps,” he said.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Biden’s Ex-Pandemic Advisor Called A Wuhan Lab Accident Plausible, But Can Writers Still Say It’s “Conspiracy Theory”?
Last week, President Biden’s former pandemic advisor to the National Security Council admitted at a Forbes health conference that a Chinese lab accident could have started the pandemic. “It is plausible that Covid originated in a lab accident in Wuhan…we have got to do more to keep labs safe,” said Dr. Panjabi.
But for most of the pandemic, science reporters allied with Democratic Party stalwart Anthony Fauci smeared anyone making similar statements as xenophobes or conspiracy theorists—especially if the person had any ties to the Republican Party or Donald Trump. (Question: why does party affiliation seem to guide science journalism?)
Oddly enough, some of the most incriminating evidence can be found in Anthony Fauci’s own email. Made public by Congress and freedom of information requests, these documents show that the former NIH leader knew the following by Feb. 1, 2020:
Fauci was funding Peter Daszak with the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance to collaborate with Chinese scientists on coronavirus research in Wuhan;
Wuhan researchers were doing dangerous gain-of-function research that made viruses more deadly;
The outbreak started in Wuhan;
Daszak collaborated with and funded some of the biggest names in coronavirus research;
After examining the genetic sequence, many top virologists working with Fauci and Daszak felt that the COVID virus was not natural and may have been engineered.

When GISAID, the widely used database for influenza and SARS-CoV-2 genomes, issued a statement last week about a set of controversial sequences from the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, China, the release explained by way of background that the repository was “an essential contributor to global health” trusted by thousands of data contributors from 215 nations and territories. But GISAID also included a claim that has been puzzling and infuriating some virologists for 3 years: It was the place where the first SARS-CoV-2 genomes were publicly shared, on 10 January 2020.
That claim challenges contemporaneous news and social media accounts, the memories of many researchers contacted by Science, and non-GISAID records that all indicate the first sequence was made available through virological.org, a forum where scientists share and discuss information, early on 11 January in Europe, which was the evening of 10 January in the United States. It had been submitted by Edward Holmes, an evolutionary biologist and virologist at the University of Sydney who had received the sequence from Zhang Yong-Zhen, a virologist at Fudan University. GISAID, various information sources suggest, didn’t actually make its first genomes of the new coronavirus public until 12 January 2020.
“I am very surprised” at GISAID’s claims, Zhang wrote in an email to Science. “I could not understand why some people attempted to rewrite the history.”
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Let’s be blunt: SARS2 leaked from a Wuhan lab but it’s not Chinese junk – We didn’t just fund the virus, we created it on US soil, using American lab animals
The virus was an animal vaccine created in Chapel Hill, North Carolina; developed in Hamilton, Montana; and tested in Wuhan. This is where it leaked, accidently, but the creation and coverup was not an accident.
SARS-CoV-2 was not designed to infect us humans, but to inoculate our distant mammalian ancestors. Bats are the mother of the animal kingdom when it comes to potential human disease (e.g. Rabies, Marburg, Nipah) and the source of zoonotic disease spillover events like SARS1, described by Anthony Fauci in 2003.
In 2012, interest in bat viruses increased and Fauci organized a coronavirus meeting to discuss one subject: foreign bats and American vaccines. SARS2 was designed by Western men to look natural to an Asian lab animal. This enabled the ‘virus’ to infect and inoculate the animal species SARS1 came from: Chinese horseshoe bats. It was amazing Western biotechnology (DURC) that was in the making for years, if not decades.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | U.S. Researchers Deceived Pentagon With Plans to Cut Costs by Conducting High-Risk Research in Wuhan
American researchers concealed their intention to conduct high-risk coronavirus research in Wuhan under lax safety standards from the U.S. Department of Defense the year before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to documents obtained by U.S. Right to Know.
A 2018 grant proposal called Project DEFUSE, coauthored by the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and American scientists, has stoked concern that the pandemic resulted from a lab accident.
It proposed engineering high-risk coronaviruses of the same species as the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and SARS-CoV-2.
Most worrying to some scientists: The proposal involved synthesizing spike proteins with furin cleavage sites — the same feature that supercharged SARS-CoV-2 into the most infectious pandemic pathogen in a century.
Indeed, some scientists have likened DEFUSE to a blueprint for generating SARS-CoV-2 in the lab.
New documents obtained by U.S. Right to Know now show that these experiments were proposed to occur in part in Wuhan with fewer safety precautions than required in the U.S. — apparently to save on costs.

The House COVID subcommittee is also probing the influence Fauci had over the US intelligence community about the origin of the pandemic after a whistleblower disclosed that the NIAID director secretly visited CIA headquarters in an attempt to “influence” analysts who later were unable to determine whether SARS-CoV-2 leaked from a lab or was transmitted from animals to humans.
Fauci declined to respond to The Post’s questions about the whistleblower’s claim as he arrived for his interview Monday morning. He also did not stop to talk as he left the interview room just after 7 p.m.
Scientists at the center of the “lab leak” controversy visited Dr. Anthony Fauci’s institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2017 to discuss their research — just months before NIH lifted a pause on high-risk virology, and two years before a novel coronavirus emerged near their lab in Wuhan.
Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) Senior Scientist Shi Zhengli passed a security screening to visit National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) staffers in June 2017, where she gave a presentation about novel coronaviruses, emails obtained by U.S. Right to Know show.
Shi is known internationally as the “Bat Lady” for her work with bats and their coronaviruses. Though ostensibly a civilian lab, the WIV has conducted research projects “for defensive and biosecurity needs of the military” since at least 2017, according to U.S. intelligence.
EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S. research organization, partnered closely with the WIV, subcontracting NIAID funding to Shi’s lab, and arranged the meeting.

*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | A network analysis of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine patents
A preliminary network analysis highlights the complex intellectual property landscape behind mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on global health and highlighted the importance of international cooperation to effectively combat SARS-CoV-2. Since the discovery and publication of the virus’s genome in January 2020, scientists have rushed to develop vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics on an unprecedented timescale. To date there are 80 vaccines in clinical trials and 70 more in clinical development, setting the stage for some of the fastest vaccine development and testing in modern history1. The vaccine technology platforms used by the most promising vaccine candidates range from viral vector–based and protein-based technologies to mRNA and lipid nanoparticle technology. Despite these impressive scientific achievements, barriers such as the vaccine cold chain and multiple forms of intellectual property (IP) protection stand in the way of equitable access and fair allocation.
Webs of intellectual property claims underpin the marketing of many vaccines. For example, the underlying technology used to develop a vaccine can be protected by patents, while manufacturing methods and techniques (know-how) can be protected by trade secrets. Therapeutic development programs tend to consist of an intricate relationship between an inventor and an innovator2. The foundational technology needed to develop a vaccine could have been invented in an academic lab setting or startup research firm, protected through patents, and subsequently licensed out to a larger entity for further development and commercialization. These larger entities are designated as innovators because they transform the foundational technology into the final market product. In an attempt to demonstrate the complexity involved in IP protections and licensing deals surrounding COVID-19 vaccine technology, we developed a preliminary patent network analysis. We identified patents that were relevant to various vaccine technology platforms and used US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings to highlight pertinent licensing deals. A visualization of the landscape is shown in Fig. 1.

*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Why Fauci, Not Drosten? German Scientists Met OPENLY With Wuhan ”Batwoman”
Perfectly-timed to coincide with Anthony Fauci’s closed-door testimony before the U.S. Congress, a recent bombshell report suggested, based on FOI emails, that Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology met with Fauci at his National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), outside Washington, in June 2017. According to the most popular version of the ‘lab leak’ theory, it is, of course, Shi’s research on coronaviruses in bats which is supposed to have given rise to the SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes COVID-19.
In an even more sensational riff on the original report from the American non-profit U.S. Right to Know, a Daily Mail headline even proclaims that ‘U.S. scientists held secret talks with Covid ‘Batwoman’ amid drive to make coronaviruses more deadly… just before pandemic’.
But there was nothing “secret” about the meeting. Supposing it in fact took place – which could at most be inferred from the cited e-mails – it was simply not publicised. At the time, pre-Covid, it would have been a matter of small public interest anyway.
Furthermore, although the U.S. Right to Know headline – ‘Scientists at the centre of the ‘lab leak’ controversy met with NIH, Fauci’ – implies that Fauci himself met with Shi, Fauci was not even a participant in the relevant e-mail string. The recipient of the supposedly incriminating e-mails from Peter Daszak of EcoHealth was Eric Stemmy of a NIAID subdivision. The current, updated version of the article appears to concede that Fauci was not present at the meeting in question, although he did meet Daszak – without Shi – four months later.

The scale of U.S. dual-use research and the global biological risks it poses raise the question of an independent international investigation.

*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | The Likely Lab Leak and the Covid Cassandra
As I’ve written in several previous columns, that seeming consensus among top experts shut down almost all further discussion of the Wuhan lab as a possible source of Covid. Fauci dismissed the lab-leak hypothesis as “just a conspiracy theory,” and the media eagerly doubled down on that politically useful framing. The New York Times’ top Covid reporter called the idea “racist.” Only a few brave scientists—including Ebright and Alina Chan, a young researcher at the Harvard-MIT Broad Institute—dared to challenge the fast-jelling conventional wisdom. It took over a year before a few mainstream media outlets began gingerly to consider the lab-leak question, and two more years before the FBI and the U.S. Department of Energy announced that their investigations now pointed to the Wuhan lab as the contagion’s likely source.
But in the absence of any high-level nonpartisan inquiry, we still don’t have a clear picture of how Covid emerged. China has been predictably truculent, throwing out absurd claims that the virus must have been carried into their country by visiting Americans or in imported seafood. Worse, Chinese authorities took the entire database of WIV virus data offline. Even international scientists who conducted joint research with their WIV colleagues—and whose governments helped fund those projects—have no access to data that might hold clues to the source of one of the most devastating pandemics in centuries.
At this point, China’s intransigence is a given. Americans should be more outraged that, when it comes to transparency, U.S. officials and scientific institutions haven’t been much better than their Chinese counterparts.

Scientists divided over the so-called “lab leak” and natural origin hypotheses have for years pored over the arcane language of a U.S.-China research proposal called “DEFUSE” describing coronavirus engineering experiments.

A Chinese researcher who first submitted the genetic sequence for the SARS-CoV-2 virus in late December 2019, around two weeks before China disclosed the deadly virus to outside scientists, was on the payroll of Anthony Fauci’s institute at the time, according to a grant awarded to EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit operated by Peter Daszak. The disclosures call into further question what officials at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) knew about research they were funding in China where the pandemic began.
“The grant doesn’t work on SARS-CoV-2,” Daszak told Nature Magazine, when the NIH was forced to review the grant in the summer of 2020. “Our organization has not actually published any data on SARS-CoV-2. We work on bat coronaviruses that are out there in the wild and trying to predict what the next one is. We don’t work on sequencing SARS-CoV-2.”
Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, which first broke the story, several experts said the extra two weeks could have helped researchers better understand how COVID spread and develop therapies.
NIH officials refused to respond to multiple requests to explain how much salary they provided to Dr. Lili Ren, a scientist at the Beijing-based Institute of Pathogen Biology, who wrote a letter in support of Daszak’s grant application to Fauci’s NIH institute. Documents from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released by a congressional committee show that Ren first uploaded the COVID virus sequence to the NIH’s GenBank on December 28, 2019—two weeks before scientists celebrated China’s release of the genetic sequence on January 11, 2020.
“The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has confirmed that Dr. Ren’s December 28, 2019, sequence was nearly identical to the sequence later made public by the China CDC on January 10, 2020, which at the time was the first known sequence,” said members of the House Energy & Commerce committee in a statement.

The new documents show that the DEFUSE team planned to use six segments to make synthetic viruses and ordered BSmBI from New England Biolabs.
In response to the release, Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, wrote that his group “had the misfortune of predicting” that a SARS-like virus with features of SARS-CoV-2 “had the potential to emerge in China & become pandemic. It did. Rather than taking these prescient ideas seriously, we’ve had 4 [years] of attacks.”

Over the last several months, Public has reported on a growing body of evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus that caused the Covid pandemic escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China. Last year, Public and Racket were the first to report that US government officials had identified that the first patients to become sick with Covid worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
Now, Public has learned from multiple sources that the FBI knew since at least March 2020 that Covid was the result of a lab leak. A Chinese national from Wuhan, working as a confidential human source (CHS) for the FBI, told their handler at the FBI’s Chinese Intelligence Squad. The sources said it was probable that the whole squad of 25 people knew.
“A person working at the Virology Institute lab in Wuhan, China was infected, left the building, and spread the virus outside the lab in Wuhan,” the CHS told the FBI, according to a source. “It didn’t have anything to do with the wet market or the bat soup story they were going with.”

*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | The Story of the Decade – New documents strengthen—perhaps conclusively—the lab-leak hypothesis of Covid-19’s origins.
The new recipe is in striking accord with a theoretical paper published in 2022 that predicted the SARS2 virus had been generated in exactly this way. Three researchers—Valentin Bruttel, Alex Washburne, and Antonius VanDongen—noted that the virus could be cut into six sections if treated with a pair of agents known as restriction enzymes and so had probably been synthesized and assembled in this way.
Restriction enzymes, made naturally by bacteria as a defense against viruses, are an invaluable tool for biologists because they cut DNA at specific points known as recognition sites. These sites occur randomly across the genome, so a natural virus treated with a restriction enzyme will be cut into pieces of different sizes. However, researchers who want to synthesize a virus from scratch in order to manipulate its parts more effectively will often rearrange the recognition sites so that they are evenly spaced. This allows short chunks of DNA, all of roughly equal length, to be synthesized chemically and then strung together in a complete viral genome. Bottom line: if your virus has evenly spaced recognition sites, it’s a pretty good bet that it was made in a laboratory.
Bruttel and his colleagues guessed that a commonly used pair of restriction enzymes, known as BsaI and BsmBI, might have been used to assemble the SARS2 virus’s genome. When they examined the structure of SARS2, they found that the recognition sites used by these enzymes were indeed evenly spaced across the genome, marking it into six sections. “Our findings strongly suggest a synthetic origin of SARS-CoV2,” they wrote.
Their paper did not receive the attention it deserved, in part because of the difficulty of ruling out a natural explanation for the even spacing. The small group of virologists who adamantly oppose the lab-leak hypothesis attacked the paper as “confected nonsense” (Edward Holmes) and “kindergarten molecular biology” (Kristian Andersen).

A 2018 RML collaboration between Munster and Baric tried to infect Egyptian fruit bats with a Chinese bat virus.
They co-authored a DARPA Defuse style paper (above) trying to infect American lab bats with a coronavirus called WIV1 (detailed in Defuse below). The Montana lab was now double dipping, because they actually won the DARPA Preempt project.
Early 2018 DARPA Defuse proposal wanted to infect live bats with WIV1
The Montana experiment failed, so they concluded with a wish list for the 2019 future:
Therefore, it would be interesting to perform an experimental inoculation study using Chinese horseshoe bats, from which WIV1-CoV was originally isolated, to investigate if more efficient virus replication and shedding can be observed in these animals.
In 2020, a German BSL4 lab infected Egyptian fruit bats with SARS2 and published the shocking results.
Our data suggest that intranasal infection of Egyptian fruit bats could reflect reservoir host status and therefore represent a useful model, although this species is certainly not the original reservoir of SARS-CoV-2 because these bats are not present in China, the epicenter of the pandemic.
Those exact same Egyptian fruit bats were referenced in the DARPA Defuse project.

*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | An Engineered Origin for the SARS-CoV2 Genome. (2021)
Despite doubt regarding the origins of SARS-CoV2 and the possibility of deliberate engineering of this pandemic virus, an engineering workflow for SARS-CoV2 using available data sets and techniques common to molecular biology labs is hereby explained. Each step in the workflow has a historical precedence of being used on SARS-like coronaviruses from China.
For the sake of clarity, only viruses that can reasonably be assumed to come from real and natural sources were included in this analysis. More scientific detail on excluded genomes and the reasons for their exclusion will be presented at the end of the article.
..
SARS-CoV2 is Not Consistent with Expectations from Evolutionary Theory.
i.) The divergent evolutionary paths of the two pieces of the virus,
ii.) high mutational drift in the spike protein while
iii.) maintaining species and receptor specificity, plus
iv.) the ability to improve DNA identity prediction in-silico
are all features of the genome inconsistent with expectations from natural evolutionary theory.
SARS-CoV2 is Consistent with an Engineered Origin
i.) 97.3% of the genetic diversity of the virus backbone is explained by high DNA Sequence Identity to a reverse engineered assembly (SynCoV1).
ii.) The vast majority (79%) best matches an in-silico consensus of three viruses (BB3C), having more identity than any of the three viruses alone.
iii.) In addition, the novel mutations and high level of mutation in the spike protein when compared to natural conserved sequences
are all features of the genome consistent with a chimeric backbone and random library screening of spike protein for ‘gain-of-function’ via directed evolution, an engineered virus workflow.
Conclusion
It is inaccurate to say that SARS-CoV2 could not be engineered. Furthermore, based solely on this genomic data set, which includes genomes of 40 bat coronavirus relatives close to both the SARS-CoV1 and SARS-CoV2 genomes, the most likely explanation for genetic diversity in this novel pandemic virus is an engineered workflow like the one proposed herein and not natural evolution.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Is This the Man Who Created COVID-19 in Fauci’s U.S. Lab?
Top U.S. virologist Ralph Baric engineered the COVID-19 virus SARS-CoV-2 in his lab at the University of North Carolina as part of his work in connection with the 2018 DEFUSE funding proposal. That’s the story that’s been going round the internet for some months now (and not just in alternative media) and it all looks very damning for Baric and those connected with his research. Details of the DEFUSE project were first leaked by Major Joseph Murphy, an employee of U.S. military research agency DARPA, in the summer of 2021 and further details of earlier drafts have come to light this month thanks to public record requests from U.S. Right to Know (USRTK).
Many regard this as case closed for the lab leak.
But this is not the full story. That’s because Baric’s DEFUSE proposal did not win the DARPA funding. And while it is rightly pointed out that, with or without the funding, much of the work was already in hand, it’s what happened next with the winning DARPA proposal where the story really gets interesting.
U.S. researcher Jim Haslam has done an incredible job on his Substack page Reverse engineering the origins of SARS-CoV-2 documenting all the toings and froings among the virology community in connection with the creation of this peculiar virus and the subsequent cover-up. What follows is in large part indebted to his meticulous research, though any errors are of course my own.
The winning 2018 DARPA bid was for a project called PREEMPT led by Dr. Vincent Munster (pictured above) based at Anthony Fauci’s NIH Rocky Mountain Lab. Both PREEMPT and Baric’s losing DEFUSE project had the same basic idea: to try to prevent a (hypothetical) future pandemic by using an engineered SARS virus to vaccinate the bats from which it is believed such a virus was likely to spill over. The idea being, of course, that the vaccinated bats would no longer be a reservoir for the virus, thus ‘defusing’ or ‘preempting’ the zoonotic spillover. Sounds crazy? Too right – far too much meddling with nature and placing too much faith in the ability of vaccines to prevent infection and transmission. But crazy or not, that’s what the scientists proposed, and PREEMPT won and DEFUSE lost.
The key difference between Baric’s DEFUSE and Munster’s PREEMPT – aside from PREEMPT coming in around $4m cheaper at $10m – is that rather than relying on spraying bat caves with a non-transmissible virus-vaccine, Munster’s plan involved making the virus-vaccine transmit between the bats via aerosols. This made it a self-spreading vaccine, able (in theory) to reach all the bats without humans having to go and find all their caves and spray them. The risks of such a plan should have been obvious. Indeed, Baric himself, who went awfully quiet after his DEFUSE project leaked in mid-2021, resurfaced in mid-2023 to say that such work involving engineering transmissible virus-vaccines was “too edgy” for him.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Baric lied early in the pandemic – But who told him to lie?
To summarize, a novel genome called SARS2 emerged in Wuhan that was 20.4% different than SARS1. Baric claimed to have created a chimera, which was the combination of two more virus samples, that was “20% different” in 2018.
That 2018 frozen chimera in Chapel Hill was 0.4% different from what emerged in Wuhan in 2020. Shi had a sample called RaTG13 that was 4% different, but Baric had a sample that was ten times closer!
Think about making a free throw from 12,500 kilometers away, which was the distance from Chapel Hill to Wuhan. The analogy is imperfect, but the vast distance was covered in Baric’s own words in DARPA Defuse.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | The Strength of Evidence for a Lab Origin – Probable cause, preponderance of evidence, and beyond reasonable doubt
Evidence of a Cover-Up
The Wuhan Institute of Virology had a database of hundreds of sarbecovirus genomes and spike genes, but that dataset was deleted in September 2019. The Chinese government ordered the destruction of early cases and sequences, and deleted sequences from NCBI’s servers have been recovered by Jesse Bloom, shining more light on the early outbreak, complicating the evolutionary & epidemiological story of the Huanan Seafood market (what are the odds that sequences deleted corroborate the wet market story vs. complicate it?). The Chinese government only allocated PCR tests to patients in Wuhan with connections to the wet market or travelers coming from Wuhan with connection to known cases in Wuhan, and only Wuhan was locked down, a policy that makes little sense under the SARS-CoV-1 precedent of a geographically widespread animal trade outbreak in SARS-CoV-1. Of course, since SARS-CoV-1 there were 6 lab leaks of SARS-CoV-1 in China, and that could have been the precedent guiding Chinese public health policy.
Peter Daszak, the leader of DEFUSE, did not disclose DEFUSE as a conflict of interest when he was elected to be the US emissary to the WHO’s COVID origins investigation in Wuhan, nor did he disclose DEFUSE when chosen to lead The Lancet’s COVID-origins investigation.
Peter Daszak went even further. Daszak coordinated with DEFUSE colleagues Ralph Baric and Linfa Wang to write an article to The Lancet calling lab origin theories “conspiracy theories”. Not only did Daszak not disclose DEFUSE as a COI, but the email also indicates Daszak’s intent to ghostwrite the article, hide conflicts of interest, all for the purpose of distracting The Lancet’s audience from DEFUSE PIs’ central role working with the lab at the heart of the lab origin theory to design a biological novelty matching the specs of SARS-CoV-2. If the organism described in DEFUSE were patented, SARS-CoV-2 would be an infringement of their patent.

It was not until January 9th 2020 that the WHO reported that Chinese authorities had determined the outbreak was due to a novel coronavirus which later became known as SARS-CoV-2 with the alleged resultant disease dubbed COVID-19.
So why was an v transferred to the University of North Carolina on December 12th 2019?
The same Moderna that have had an mRNA coronavirus vaccine authorised for emergency use only in both the United Kingdom and the United States to allegedly combat Covid-19.
What did Moderna, Fauci & Bill Gates know that we didn’t?
In 2019 there was not any singular coronavirus posing a threat to humanity which would warrant a vaccine.
As the world tries to move on there are many questions that remain unanswered, the above being just some of them.
But the discovery of a contract awarded by the U.S. Department of Defense for Covid-19 research in November 2019, and the fact Moderna and Fauci’s NIAID has an mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidate funded by Bill Gates ready in December 2019, suggests that the permanent U.S Government, Dr Anthony Fauci, Mr Bill Gates & Moderna all know the answers to those questions.
And yet, when we wake up every morning, most of us choose to think about other topics — and hey, there are a lot of other important priorities in this world. But sometimes it feels like vast swaths of American society chose to forget about the pandemic at the first opportunity and chose to not keep asking how and why the pandemic started, because they and some of our leaders didn’t like the probable answers. Holding the Chinese government accountable for setting off the pandemic would just be too difficult. There’s still $575 billion in trade between the two countries. Mustn’t upset the applecart.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Scientist claims ‘smoking gun’ evidence COVID-19 intentionally created by researchers in Chinese lab | NyPost
COVID-19 may have been created in a Chinese lab, a British professor told the UN Wednesday, with another expert claiming that evidence of the likelihood has reached “the level of a smoking gun.”
Richard H. Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University, was quoted saying in a new Wall Street Journal article that the virus that killed millions around the world may actually have been manmade in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.
He cited evidence found in a 2018 document from the lab that talked of making such a virus.
“[The document] elevates the evidence provided by the genome sequence from the level of noteworthy to the level of a smoking gun,” Ebright said in the piece by former New York Times editor Nicholas Wade.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | The Greatest Story Never Told: German Virology in Wuhan – and Montana
But what about all the German connections to virus research in Wuhan which I have documented here, here, here and here and which involve not just German funding for virus research in Wuhan, but indeed a full-fledged German-Chinese virology lab in Wuhan, which – unlike the Wuhan Institute of Virology – is located right in the area of the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in the city.
It is all the more remarkable that these German connections are being ignored given that the supposedly ‘American’ story of the creation and release of COVID-19 points right back to them: namely, to a German or, more exactly, German-Dutch coronavirus research nexus, which has played a key role in the COVID-19 response and at whose centre we find none other than Christian Drosten. Drosten is, of course, the German creator of the notoriously hypersensitive and unreliable COVID-19 PCR test which was the very basis of the declaration of a pandemic.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Lab Origin: The Case is Even Stronger Now
The Strengthening Case for a Lab Origin
All of these anomalies of SARS-CoV-2 emergence, SARS-CoV-2 evolution, and CCP outbreak policy, however, make perfect sense if the leak was not from animals to people, but from the world’s largest repository of bat sarbecoviruses in the same city, walking distance from both the wet market and the hospitals at the heart of earlier surges in care-seeking terms.
The lab-origin theory examines the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 may have leaked from a lab, and to fully understand a lab-origin theory one must examine the research being conducted by the lab. It just so happens that there is a bat sarbecovirus lab in the same city where this bat sarbecovirus emerged; the specificity of the connection between the virus that emerged and the lab is so high it’s like finding a tiger roaming around the town walking distance from a big cat sanctuary in Germany, so knowing there is a sanctuary drawing in big cats from around the world provides critical context for the big cat roaming the streets nearby.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology was a leading institute for studying wildlife coronaviruses. These researchers would catch all manners of animals and even sample animal trade networks in search of new viruses. They would take these wildlife viral samples back to Wuhan for further study, and in collaboration with EcoHealth Alliance they would import wildlife viral samples obtained by external, US-based parties.
The wildlife virological work in Wuhan is important context, but the single most important thing to know about the lab-origin theory is a grant written in 2018 – the DEFUSE proposal. The DEFUSE proposal was pried from the unwilling hands of EcoHealth Alliance by DRASTIC, the group of independent sleuths investigating a lab-origin theory since 2020.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Jeffrey Sachs: ”We need…an independent scientific investigation in which all laboratories involved in the EHA research program in the US and China fully open their books and records to the independent investigators.”
A group of intrepid truth-seekers—journalists, scientists, whistleblowers—have uncovered a vast amount of information pointing to the likely laboratory origin of SARS-CoV-2. Most important has been the intrepid work of the The Intercept and US Right to Know (USRTK), especially investigative reporter Emily Kopp at USRTK.
Based on this investigative work, the Republican-led House Committee on Oversight and Accountability is now carrying out an important investigation in a Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. In the Senate, the leading voice for transparency, honesty, and reason in investigating the origin of SARS-Cov-2 has been Republican Senator Rand Paul.
The evidence of a possible laboratory creation revolves around a multi-year US-led research program that involved US and Chinese scientists. The research was designed by US scientists, funded mainly by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Defense, and administered by a US organization, the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), with much of the work taking place at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
The US owes the full truth, and perhaps ample financial compensation, to the rest of the world, depending on what the facts ultimately reveal.

DARPA Defuse FOIA
Jimmy Tobias delivers another great FOIA. This is a March 2018 email from the United States Geological Service (USGS) to Ralph Baric. The USGS was organizing an American bat colony to test Baric’s bat vaccine. They suggested the University of Wisconsin (UW) develop an animal vaccine delivery similar to vaccinating wildlife (foxes, coyotes, raccoons) against rabies. But none of them know how to vaccinate bats. They are picky eaters so it’s hard to use baited vaccines.
Much has been made of SARS2 not infecting Chinese bats, but it loves American bats. The biggest logistical issue with DARPA Defuse was testing Baric’s bat vaccine on Chinese bats. EcoHealth tried to import the fragile Chinese horseshoe bat before and after the pandemic. They failed, so they had to develop Baric’s bat vaccine in American bats and test it in Wuhan on Chinese bats. This is the reason NIAID is building twoChinese bat labs, costing $135M. The USGS is also building a $55M bat vivarium. ..

Ukrainian Biolabs and a Kansas City Connection? Part 2/2 in the history of Ukrainian bioweapon facilities.
Fast-forward to 2012. Here are the contracts between the UNITED STATES and Ukraine, to build and fund bio-research facilities. Interesting that Kansas City based Black & Veach was the recipient of ALL of the Ukrainian bio-facilities contracts. These are screen shots because, as you can see in the first photo, the Federal Government SCRUBBED all of these documents off their website on February 24th, 2022. Not coincidental that this happened when tensions escalated in the Ukraine with Russia.

Russia presents proof Ukraine, US worked with bioweapons components – top brass | Tass – RUSSIAN NEWS AGENCY
MOSCOW, December 24. /TASS/. The Russian Defense Ministry held a briefing in Geneva on the sidelines of the 9th Review Conference of the Biological Weapons Convention where it presented evidence that Ukraine, with US support, has been working with biological weapons components, Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Force Igor Kirillov said on Saturday.
”Documented proof was presented that work with the components of biological weapons and research of agents of particularly dangerous and economically significant infections were conducted on Ukrainian soil with the US’ financial, scientific and technical and human resources,” he said.

Fact Check: Did Zelensky Order Destruction of Docs Linked to Hunter Biden? | Newsweek
An investigation by The Washington Post stated that a firm linked to Rosemont Seneca (Hunter Biden’s former investment company) invested money and raised money for Metabiota.
Around the same time, spending records show the U.S. Department of Defense invested more than $18 million into Metabiota. The Post investigation reported that a relatively small proportion of the funding was listed for ”Ukraine research programs”, as federal contracting records state.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | EXCLUSIVE: ‘SOROS’ And Senator Obama Funding Records Discovered For Ukraine BioLab That Sparked BioTerrorism Fears
U.S. State Department records show that in 2005 the U.S. Department of Defense made an agreement with Ukraine to fund biolabs to conduct research supposedly to stop the construction of bioweapons. The agreement states: “In order to assist Ukraine in preventing the proliferation of technology, pathogens, and expertise that are located at the Scientific Research Institute of Epidemiology and Hygiene (Lviv), the Ukrainian Scientific Research Anti-Plague Institute (Odessa), the Central Sanitary Epidemiological Station (Kyiv), and other facilities in Ukraine identified by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, and that could be used in the development of biological weapons, the U.S. Department of Defense shall provide assistance to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine at no cost, subject to the availability of funds appropriated for this purpose, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.”
*) Intelligence Gathering: Hunter Biden & His Laptop from Hades (Part 2) – 2014: Beijing to Metabiota in Ukraine
But back to Ukrainian deals made by Hunter & his investment firms as there is some crossover.
On April 4, 2014, after some emails were sent by Burisma’s new board representative and Ukrainian government stiff, Vadim Pozharskyi, Metabiota’s VP of Science and Technology, Mary Guittieri provided this response:
As promised, i’ve prepared the attached memo, which provides an overview of Metabiota, our engagement in Ukraine, and how we can potentially leverage our team, networks, and concepts to assert Ukraine’s cultural and economic independence from Russia and continued integration into Western society.
Metabiota is ostensibly a health and virus investigation organization. But really it is intel-defense supported and operated as such worldwide. A week later, Devon Archer, who often chimed in with certain geopolitical no-go zones pitched, but nonetheless, these are “capitalists”
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Has the US gov’t been building bioweapons in Ukraine?
The CIA and the U.S. Department of Defense’s Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) have also been funding a company called Metabiota to aid in the development of biological weapons in Ukraine.
The U.S.-run biolabs in Ukraine are in violation of Article 1 of the Biological Weapons Convention, which prohibits the development, production, stockpiling, acquisition, or retaining of biological weapons, and this illegal weapons development is paid for by U.S. taxpayers through the DTRA.
Powerful interests are profiting from the Ukraine conflict and want it to continue, and one of those interested parties appears to be the Biden family. It’s time to end the United States’ involvement in the Ukraine conflict. February 19, 2023, an anti-interventionist coalition will be holding an anti-war rally in Washington, D.C. The lead demand: “Not one more penny for war in Ukraine.”
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | #DoD_operation | U.S. Department of Defense issued a contract for ‘COVID-19 Research’ in Ukraine 3 months before Covid was known to even exist
All of this requires much further research to fit all of the pieces of the puzzle together, but here’s what we definitely know so far –
A novel coronavirus emerged in Wuhan in December 2019.
The world did not get to hear about this novel coronavirus until early January 2020.
The world did not know this novel coronavirus was called Covid-19 until February 2020, when the World Health Organization officially named it so.
The US Department of Defense awarded a contract for Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services to Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp‘, which is allegedly “a global engineering, procurement, consulting and construction company specialising in infrastructure development”.
That contract involved a Biological threat reduction program in Ukraine.
As part of this larger contract, another contract was awarded to Labyrinth Global Health for ‘COVID-19 Research’ on 12th November 2019.
This was awarded at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19.
Labyrinth Global Health works alongside the ‘Eco Health Alliance’, and ‘Metabiota’, and participated in the USAID PREDICT program. All of these people and organisations have been working for at least the past decade studying coronaviruses and helping to set up Biolabs in Ukraine. All using US Department of Defense funds to do so.
Information found here points to Eco Health Alliance having a hand in creating the Covid-19 virus.
Information found here points to Moderna having a hand in creating the Covid-19 virus.
‘Moderna’, alongside the ‘National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ (NIAID) agreed to tranfer ‘mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates’ developed and jointly-owned by NIAID and Moderna, to recipients ‘The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’ on the 12th December 2019.
What does all this point to? That’s for you to ponder and decide. But we promise you there is much more to come on the above…
*) Briefing by Chief of Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov on U.S. military and biological activity | Russian Ministry of Defence claims
Thus, the work of U.S. military biologists is aimed at the formation of ’artificially managed epidemics’ and is not controlled within the framework of the BWC and the UN Secretary-General’s mechanism for investigating the use of biological weapons.
In the course of the special military operation documents, which prove the activity of the U.S. Department of Defence’s research institutions in Ukraine, have been discovered.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | Chief of Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Defense of the Russian Federation Lt General Igor Kirillov speaks about U.S. bioweapons activity – Parsing out facts, fiction, narratives, and reading between the lines.
I do not generally follow Russian or Ukrainian press. I occasionally read some Substack writers who seem to have a good handle on what goes on there. This information was forwarded to me by a friend, and it originates from the Russian Ministry of Defense. I found the Russian version and confirmed that the English translation was accurate. You can read the briefing following the links above.
Here is my take on Kirillov’s (and Russian MOD) messaging and what I think it signifies.
Most of the factual information in this briefing is correct.
Despite the fact that the stated goals of U.S. programmes are to monitor disease incidence and provide assistance to developing countries, in fact, we see the Pentagon conducting uncontrolled dual-use research in circumvention of international obligations under the BTWC.
True! The US is violating Biological Weapons convention and covering it up as “defensive biological research”. But this is old news, as this has been ongoing since the 1970’s.
His next point – it favors Big Pharma commercially and it seems like he is also pointing finger at the Democrats in power. But, c’mon man! We have a Uniparty, just like the USSR did, and Kirillov is old enough to recognize this. Nevertheless, the entities named on this chart – pharmas, academia, government and NGO/money groups are correctly identified.
*) #GainOfFunction_LabResearch_VirusPatents | #the_great_deception | Did Epstein Create the C19 Pandemic?
Nathan Wolfe is at the epicenter of the global zoonosis network and the production of SARS-CoV-2.
But then you add his affiliation with the Clintons, Bill Gates, Maxwell, and Epstein, and it’s a whole new ballgame.
Was Wolfe compromised by Epstein?
We now have confirmation, via witness testimony, that Epstein was seeking out the most powerful people on Earth, to compromise and blackmail them, to essentially rule the world via proxy.
What I’m getting at is, Epstein/Maxwell and their handlers, were involved in the plot to create and release SARS-CoV-2, via their connection to Nathan Wolfe.
The Epstein blackmail operation didn’t just control Bill Clinton, Israeli Prime Ministers, and British Royalty; they also controlled the virologist who discovered and enhanced the virus that would eventually turn into the Covid-19 pandemic…
And Russia claim one of the main reasons they invaded Ukraine, was to stop this bioweapon production, at Nathan Wolfe’s Biolabs in Ukraine, via his company Metabiota, that was funded by the Bidens. At the biolabs the media told you didn’t exist.
I don’t know exactly who is higher in the power structure, but all the top players in Epstein’s blackmail operation, are also heavily involved in the global zoonotic virology network, the Biolabs in Ukraine, and American vaccine production

I have been asked so many times about “secret” biolabs in Ukraine, that I got annoyed enough to locate this document on the official Ukrainian parliament (Rada) website.
Freedom warriors are spinning stories about brave Putin revealing the evil biolabs, but apparently they can’t be bothered to use search and auto translate…
Despite this change of control over Ukrainian biolabs nearly 20 years ago, just a few days ago this information was presented on Twitter as earthshattering news (again, I must add): “Russian authorities assert that the bio-research initiatives undertaken by the US Defense Department in Ukraine necessitate a thorough legal review, including scrutiny by pertinent international organizations.”
