EcoHealth: "We will analyze all SARSr-CoV..sequences for..proteolytic cleavage sites in S2 and for..potential Furin cleavage sites..[W]e will introduce appropriate human-specific cleavage sites and evaluate growth potential in Vero cells and HAE cultures." drasticresearch.files.wordpress.com/2021/09/defuse…
DARPA:
"1. The proposal is considered to potentially involve GoF/DURC research because they propose to synthesize spike glycoproteins which bind to human cell receptors and insert them into SARSr-CoV backbones to assess whether they can cause SARS-like disease.
"2. However the proposal does not mention or assess potential risks of Gain of Function (GoF) research.
"3. Nor does the proposal mention or assess Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) issues, and thus fails to present a DURC risk mitigation plan.
"Wuhan scientists were planning to release enhanced airborne coronaviruses into Chinese bat populations to inoculate them against diseases that could jump to humans, leaked grant proposals dating from 2018 show."
"They also planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14million from the [US] Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to fund the work."
"The bid was submitted by British zoologist Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, the US-based organisation, which has worked closely with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researching bat coronaviruses. Team members included..Shi Zhengli, the WIV researcher dubbed 'bat woman'"

"More than a hundred safety breaches have been investigated at UK laboratories that handle dangerous viruses and other pathogens in the past 15 years, records obtained by The Times show."
"The real number of accidents and near-misses will have been [much, much] higher, as the executive has refused to provide any information of incidents involving so-called 'schedule 5' substances, which include diseases such as ebola and anthrax."
The sham list omits even widely reported lab incidents, such as the Foot and Mouth Disease virus leak from BSL-4 lab at Pirbright in 2007--which required culling 4 M animals and cost 3 B GBP--and the isolation-suit failures in Ministry of Defence BSL-4 lab at Porton Down in 2013.
Virus research: Germany and the EU are also working together with bio-laboratories in Wuhan
Virusforschung: Auch Deutschland und die EU arbeiten mit Bio-Laboren in Wuhan zusammen de.rt.com/meinung/122326…
<< EU maintains two virus archives in one of the bio-laboratories in Wuhan. The project is funded by the EU investment program "Horizon 2020". A German-Chinese high-security laboratory also works in the city. But the international public hardly knows anything about it. >>
<< The European Union played a major role in promoting the WIV..The European Union set up, promoted, and financed a 'European Virus Archive' and a 'Global Virus Archive' in the WIV. >>
"When the internal debt for the athletics program at Rutgers University jumped from $40 M to $120 M in one year, it raised a red flag..Our research ultimately led to a story revealing that Rutgers athletics has quietly racked up $265 M in debt"
""[T]he athletic debt included not only $70 M for new capital projects, but also $84 M in loans..university made to athletics to cover..annual deficits..sports programs had been running year after year. They had taken another $48 M in loans from..the Big Ten"
"In other words, Rutgers..was covering shortfalls by adding to..debt payments, which could create even larger deficits in the future. The..loans..became an annual practice, with larger and larger loans planned as expenses such as coaches' salaries grew while revenues..tanked."
"There are many things we..do not know about the..pandemic—including..whether it began with natural spillover..or..laboratory incident..But we do know one thing now beyond debate:..gain-of-function..experiments on..bat viruses were taking place in Wuhan"
"This research, carried out in labs that did not have maximum level of biosafety, was increasing the infectivity of laboratory-created diseases by constructing chimeric coronaviruses — despite strong denial of such practices by the key Chinese scientists."
"And the bio-engineering was being funded by United States taxpayers — channelled through a charity run by a British scientist — despite similar denials from America’s most senior public health officials that they supported such..activities in Chinese labs"
