@R_H_Ebright comment sums it up nicely

The new viruses--named BANAL-20-52, BANAL-20-103, BANAL 20-236, BANAL 20-116, and BANAL 20-147--all are *less similar* than RaTG13 to SARS-CoV-02.

BANAL indeed.
But maybe not so BANAL after all...

Can someone break the news to Eddie Holmes gently?

"None of these bat viruses harbors a furin cleavage site in the spike"

"Identification of strains of animal origin with a furin cleavage site may require additional sampling"

researchsquare.com/article/rs-871…
More on Furin Cleavage Site

However, we found no furin site in any of these viruses. Lack of furin cleavage may be explained by by acquisition of the furin cleavage site through passages of the virus in an alternate host"
"Finally, where these intergenomic recombinations arose and the epidemiological link with the first human cases remains to be established"
US DoD and Pasteur Institute were there in Feuang District where the closest bat coronavirus, Banal 20 52, came from, back in 2017, bat sampling....where they sampled several Rhinolophus Malayanus...

PREDICT 2016

All cov sequences generated from frugivorous bats (family Pteropodidae) clustered with other bat βCoVs of lineage D, whereas one coronavirus from Pipistrellus coromandra fell in the lineage C of βCoVs which also includes the MERS-CoV.

Are you interested in Traub's life & experiments?

1. He had a long, rich history & expertise in creating stealth biological weapons that evade tests, confuse diagnosis, & torment the afflicted with slow, chronic diseases, neurological problems & cancers

thesleeperagent.com/post/the-myste…
2. Biological Agents

"He specialized in developing incapacitating biological agents and mastered the art of this new class of germ weapons that were nearly incurable and caused devious effects on the afflicted"

thesleeperagent.com/post/immune-to…
3. Immune Tolerance

"Stealth biological weapons that attack the core of your being, that do not show up in diagnostic tests nor show any abnormal blood work that doctors use to diagnose, & without the level of inflammation that doctors can see in scans"

1. THE #DRASTIC #BIOSAFETY LAB MAP

Welcome to our new "uncensored" worldwide Map of BSL 3 & 4 Laboratories!

Soon to include epiwatch data & search functions to detect new epidemics in real time!

#DRASTIC Work in Progress!

google.com/maps/d/viewer?…
2. Our basic lab map has finally been launched

Specifically it is being posted publicly so that people can contribute to improving it

Remember, we are DECENTRALISED & AUTONOMOUS, unlike the well funded competition (£110,000)!

We are in this together!

3. The "Other Map"

Count the dots



Koblenz and @FilippaLentzos



have done a great job with their well funded project

while ours was built collaboratively with no funding by people using old laptops ;)

1. Heinz Felfe was head of the Soviet counter-intelligence Department & ran a long running project called "Panoptikum" to uncover a high level "mole" within the West German Intelligence Service...

In the end, the target of "Panoptikum" would turn out to be Heinz Felfe himself! Image
2. His Memoirs (in German)

Heinz Felfe published his memoir in 1986 under the title "In the Service of the enemy: Ten years as Moscow's man in the Federal Intelligence Service"

3. Arrested in 1961, Exchanged in 1969

He gave the Soviets identities of 94 West German overseas "field officers", including the agency chief in Bangkok.

Disinformation from @jhas5

Don't take my word for it!

1, What we proposed in 2021

"During initial stages of a forensic investigation of Wuhan Labs, all 4 evaluation tools including Grunow & Finke's epidemiological assessment criteria would be useful adjuncts to the investigation framework of Pilch et al."

"The Radosavljevic–Belojevic method for outbreak scoring & differentiation shows that official assumptions of its natural origin is questionable & highlights the probability that the pathogen was "accidentally" introduced to humans"

@tgof137 @Rebecca21951651 @_everythingism @AtomsksSanakan @CallumJCParr @jhas5 1. It is best to do your own reading & consult the research of others, such as #DRASTIC, who published all the most accurate details on labs, locations, engineering flaws, viral databases, field sampling of bats, lack of proper biosafety, etc. years ago:
