Trying to explain what folks are seeing: last week DRASTIC released a leaked 2018 DARPA grant that wasn’t funded, but had some wild proposals: i.e. UNC/EcoH/WIV proposed spraying China’s caves w/bat vaccines made using bat viruses, to protect the world from a bat virus pandemic.
They wrote about adding a furin cleavage site into their lab’s bat viruses & asked DOD to fund them. (The existence of a furin cleavage site in the COVID-19 virus has had scientists scratching their heads, normal bat viruses don’t have these furin cleavage sites, they tell us.)
Some say the COVID-19 virus’ fcs means it came from a lab. Some find it odd no one involved in the 2018 grant told the world they’d had this bat virus proposal out there. Last week,Linfa Wang confirmed his involvement & UNC’s in the rejected grant & defended not saying anything.
This week, a 2015 interview w/ UNC’s Ralph Baric & his postdoc/co-author surfaced. They were talking about a paper (then-just released) they’d published with Wuhan’s WIV about how a bat virus could emerge to create a pandemic in humans (something that did happen in 2019).
People know the DRASTIC-leaked DARPA grant proposal isn’t the only paper trail that is out there. It seems many have more info than they are sharing. Knowing the origins of COVID-19 will help us prevent the next pandemic. So what are they hiding and why? #DRASTIC #originsofcovid
