Dr. Michael Callahan's disturbing statement on bioterrorism in 2005

Note:

1. Callahan was in Nanjing in late 2019 working on an "avian influenza project" and then travelled to Wuhan.

2. Callahan had accused China of hiding avian influenza samples

Dr. Brent:

Dr. Callahan can run around the world picking clinical isolates out of disease outbreaks and prioritize things that way.

"If I were, you know, doing things, I might do what I know. I might resynthesize SARS, put a toxin on it, infect myself, and cough on people"
Dr. Callahan:

"Yes. We find avian influenza disquieting in the extreme, and the reasons are basically that most of the work is already being done for the terrorists.
Several of those countries have become more difficult to work with in recent history" (China)
August 2018:

"Despite requests from U.S. research institutions and government officials, the Chinese government has concealed lab samples of H7N9, The specimens are necessary for creating vaccines and preparing for future biological threats"

Michael Callahan:

"Jeopardizing U.S. access to foreign pathogens and therapies to counter them undermines our nation's ability to protect against infections which can spread globally within days,"

Right, well that's pretty clear then

1. Russian Biolab Claims: A Controversial Topic

Good luck using your critical thinking skills to seperate wheat from chaff so that you can decide what is propaganda & what is fact.

Of course the easy options are to dismiss everything as lies or to swallow everything as fact.
2. What I recommend

If you are interested in a balanced analysis of the Russian claims and all the detailed evidence presented by Kirillov before his assassination in Moscow, as well as relted topics, then I highly recommend you plough through those threads at your leisure.
3. Documents & Russian claims on Projects UP-4 (avian flu) Flu-Flyway (wild ducks & bird flu), P-781 (bat coronaviruses), UP-8 (CCHF, Leptospirosis Hanta viruses):

1. 'CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE"

Pentagon was told 6 times that Covid was lab leak at start of pandemic – but buried the truth, ex-intel official says.

Story now published with intriguing detail by @imogen_braddick after we informed her of John Myers Tweet

thesun.co.uk/news/32257526/… x.com/BillyBostickso…
2. John Myers said that:

he "knows with absolute certainty" that top US military chiefs were told Covid had leaked from a lab in Wuhan.

"the Joint Chiefs of Staff were briefed in October 2019 - more than five years ago - about a new virus that had leaked from a lab in China"
3. Claims

This was briefed in Oct& Nov 2019 as a lab leak.

It was in the intelligence. We briefed it. It was accepted. I briefed it numerous times about a viral outbreak and that it was from a lab.

"Over the course of late Nov & Dec, it came up 6 or 7 times in briefings.

🧵📸 We have now solved the Pangolin Riddle!

This is BIG so sit tight!

1. WIV did have Pangolins in 2019 (we now have proof)

2. WIV isolated Pangolin/HKU4/MERS like Covs with Furin Sites in 2019, just before the pandemic!
3. Important Note

If you have not done so already, please read the linked thread above before continuing, it will make much more sense if you do so.
4. GX Pangolins at WIV in 2019!

From the Horse's Mouth in 2024!

"In 2019 & 2020, 86 anal swab samples & 80 serum samples were collected from Guangxi pangolins"

"Pangolin samples were transported & stored at Wuhan Institute of Virology, CAS"

Missing Documents from EHA & Peter Daszak

He hid all WeChat comms with WIV & Zhengli Shi from @COVIDSelect

However, EHA provided the #DOJ subpoena with tens of thousands of unredacted comms stretching back a decade.

AND where are these OIG audits:

#DHHS
@USGAO
@NIH
@USAID
1. @COVIDSelect @mitch_benzine @RepBradWenstrup

Have much more unreleased information

@COVIDSelect @mitch_benzine @RepBradWenstrup 2. DOJ Audit

1. "DOJ subpoenaed EcoHealth’s communications (inlcuding WeChat) with, at least, Dr. Shi. This subpoena included both Dr. Shi’s official WIV email address & her Hotmail"

2. “DoJ subpoena for genetic sequences, docs — almost complete”

Pangolin Riddle!

MpCoV-GX Isolated in 2017 said YiGang Tong

BUT ZLS & Yi GangTong in 2023 said:

"MpCoV-GX was isolated in 2019"

SARS-CoV-2-Related Virus from Malayan Pangolin

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC99…

Accession data says submission date is 8 FEB 2020

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/MT0403… x.com/BillyBostickso…
2. Double Confirmed

Yi Gang Tong confrimed again the 2017 isolation date for MpCov-GX.

He experimented with it, but did not write a paper, and they did not upload the sequence until 8th Feb 2022, just after the beginning of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic

3. Why is this significant?

Yi Gang Tong stated in a paper received on 22 Feb 2020:

"no suspected infections were found in those having close contacts with pangolins"

"Our pangolin coronavirus isolate was routinely cultured in BSL 2 FACILITIES"

Most interesting RaTG13 - SARS-COV 2 paper ever written by Chinese Scientists!

Received 17 July 2020 before Gag Orders kicked in.

Comparative Genomic Analyses Reveal Specific Mutation Pattern Between SARS-CoV-2 & RaTG13

2. Potential Effects of 5-FU

Use of 5-FU during serial passage could lead to increased mutation rates in RNA viruses which might result in variants in enhanced virulence.

However, this is not guaranteed; many mutations can be deleterious rather than beneficial.
3. Using 5-FU

5-fluorouracil can induce mutations during serial passage of RNA viruses that could lead to variants with altered virulence characteristics.

Outcome would depend on specific virus involved, the nature of induced mutations & environmental pressures during passage. Image
