A cache of documents, obtained by Freedom of Information campaigners, reveal the extent to which the coronavirus work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was supported by America. The Mail has the story.
The Chinese scientist who ran controversial experiments at the laboratory suspected of triggering Covid held a secret meeting with the U.S. Government to seek backing for a project that would go on to supercharge coronaviruses – shortly before the devastating outbreak started in her native Wuhan.
The June 2017 meeting at America’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) held by Shi Zhengli – known as ‘Batwoman’ because of her work on sampling and sequencing the animals’ viruses – will bolster fears of Western collusion in a Chinese cover-up after Covid resulted from a reckless laboratory experiment.
A new cache of documents, obtained by Freedom of Information campaigners and seen by the Mail on Sunday, reveal the extent to which the controversial work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was supported, and often funded, by America.
They show that U.S. researchers seeking funding for work to engineer “spike proteins” – making it easier for the bat viruses to infect human cells – misled the authorities about the risks of the experiments in order to maximise the chance of receiving grants.
The documents, obtained by U.S. Right To Know, a non-profit public health research group, include an order made by Chinese intelligence on January 3rd, 2020 – two days after the world was first told about Covid – which decreed that its scientists should either share their samples with the Government or destroy them “on the spot”.
Western intelligence agencies increasingly regard a lab leak in Wuhan as the most likely explanation for Covid, rather then the original theory that it was somehow spawned in a wildlife market in the city. The bombshell documents include emails sent by staff at EcoHealth Alliance – a now notorious health agency that has used U.S. Government money to sponsor bat virus experiments – ahead of the visit by Professor Zhengli. …
In an email, Dr. Ralph Baric, a coronavirus expert at the centre of concerns over gain-of-function studies, acknowledged that U.S. researchers would “freak out” if they knew novel coronavirus engineering and testing was being done in low-security Chinese laboratories, but disguised it to make the U.S. Government more “comfortable” with the plan, which was intended to help with pandemic prevention.

I think it would be fair to say that our American cousins shouldn’t be trusted on any topic. They have proved less that honest in so many areas over the last few decades, but the current geriatric’s administration has plumbed new depths.
Who on earth has given your comment the thumbs down? Maybe Biden reads these comments.
Can he even read these days?
He gave it a thumbs up by mistake.!
Ah yes…
Only 300 biolabs worldwide, only 30-40 in the Uketopia. Why do the fat bellied Americans need 300 biolabs worldwide? For another global scamdemic maybe? Or to launch some biological-wars against the Russkies or Chinese?
The US empire – a criminal enterprise at so many levels.
The most corrupt and evil empire in the world today – similar to their hated foe the Soviet Union….ironic isn’t it.
I’ve thought exactly the same for a long, long, time. They’re the most brainwashed population on the planet, which also makes them the most dangerous. I trust the American elites and the American people less than anyone else on the globe. It’s why I’ve always believed that they were probably responsible for the Covid ‘pandemic’, the Russian/Ukrainian war, and, yes, are likely to have their sticky fingers all over the Israel/Palestine conflict. They’re been in panic mode for a while now, as they watch their position as top dog falter; it’s a blow to their pride and makes them capable of pretty much anything.
We already know that Fauci needed to move this work out of the US after the moratorium on gain of function work was on the cards. Fauci and Bari were able to push this towards Wuhan and Shi Zhengli with the assistance of Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance.
We also know that thanks to Paula Jardine and her research, that all of this was driven by various deranged ex-military people who wanted immediate treatments for novel diseases using mRNA. All there in Paula’s articles reproduced at The Conservative Woman site detailing this over more than the last 20 years.
Yes Fauci’s prints are all over Sars2. He funded its creation through EcoHealth, and his VRC team designed the Moderna “vaccine”. Now Moderna pay huge royalties to his team for that vaccine. He blocked early treatments and advocated for lockdown until these “saviour vaccines” were ready. Finally he called for mandates and recommended their use in all age groups. Blood on his hands for so many reasons.
Baric may have engineered the Sar2 spike protein at UNC with help from Moderna. The spike is the only part of the virus needed for the Moderna “vaccine” and coincidentally it shares a 19 nucleotide sequence with a 2018 Moderna patent.
What is more that 19nt sequence sits in the exact same location as the furin cleavage site, and Baric was tasked with creating the FCS as part of EcoHealth’s project DEFUSE.
This from Igor Chudov surely nails it.
Quite how and why those responsible continue to flourish is beyond me.

>Covid-19 is Not Just a Cold
Hmm, I struggle with the idea that SARS-COV-2 is exceptionally deadly so it must have been engineered. I’ve no problem accepting it was leaked. Entirely possible it was engineered but the article asks why everyone was susceptible to it to infer it was “more than a cold”. The phrase “cold” of course covers a wide range of symptoms and even natural variants throw up some weird new, sometimes nasty, symptoms.
Could not the infectious nature be because it was a new strain for which we had very little natural immunity (not zero as assumed by modellers) and many years of unsustainable low excess deaths which meant the number of “dry tinder” was high. I’m sure a doctor friend of mine said 5 years ago that something respiratory would come along soon.
As Ivor Cummins has said, if you take away the under excess deaths in 2019 alone from the 2020 uptick in excess deaths, it doesn’t look that deadly at all.
I love a conspiracy theory and I’m VERY sceptical about the response but to infer COVID-19 was something more than a tough new strain feels like stirring up fear – the one thing we continually criticise the press of doing.
