"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."

telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09/2…
"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'"
"Darpa refused to fund the work, saying: 'It is clear that the proposed project led by Peter Daszak could have put local communities at risk', and warned..the team had not properly considered..dangers of enhancing..virus (gain of function research) or releasing a vaccine by air."
"Viscount Ridley..called for..investigation..in..House of Lords..'For more than a year I tried..to ask questions of..Daszak with no response. Now it turns out he..authored this vital piece of information about..work in Wuhan but refused to share it with the world. I am furious.'"
"So should the world be."
* The proposal calls for aerosol delivery of recombinant SARSr CoV spike proteins in nanoparticles or in orthopoxviral vectors. Not aerosol delivery of SARSr CoVs.

Ebright: "Fauci willfully violated federal policies on gain-of-function...research; committed conspiracy to defraud, fraud, perjury, destruction of federal records, and obstruction; and caused a pandemic that killed 20 million and cost $25 trillion"

childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rand-…
Ebright: "I am pleased that, at last, the process of holding Fauci accountable for his crimes--a process that was side-tracked by Biden's autopen pardon--may be starting."
Ebright: "The autopen pardon may protect Fauci from arrest and prosecution, but subpoenas, public hearings with testimony under oath, debarment from eligibility for federal employment and contracting, and a clawback of federal pension and benefits should be on the table."

"Dr. David Relman went cold at his laptop as an A.I. chatbot told him how to plan a massacre...[T]he chatbot explained how to modify an infamous pathogen in a lab so that it would resist known treatments."
"Worse, the bot described in vivid detail how to release the superbug, identifying a security lapse in a large public transit system...The bot outlined a plan to maximize casualties and minimize the chances of being caught."

Fauci's autopen preemptive pardon prevents Fauci from being indicted together with Morens.

Nevertheless, Fauci needs to be compelled, under subpoena, to testify about his role in operating a RICO out of the NIAID Office of Director.
