NIH corrects untruthful assertions by NIH Director Collins and NIAID Director Fauci that NIH had not funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

NIH states that EcoHealth Alliance violated Terms and Conditions of NIH grant AI110964. ImageImage
The NIH received the relevant documents in 2018 and reviewed the documents in 2020 and again in 2021.

The NIH--specifically, Collins, Fauci, and Tabak--lied to Congress, lied to the press, and lied to the public. Knowingly. Willfully. Brazenly.

A.I. Bots Told Scientists How to Make Biological Weapons
nytimes.com/2026/04/29/us/…
"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.

HHMI President O'Shea: "[T]he authors propose a shift in what counts in the biomedical sciences: researchers should be recognized for what they choose to share on their own terms and timeline (for example as preprints), not what journals select"

zenodo.org/records/196007…Image
"Current incentives for researchers place a strong emphasis on journal publications...[I]ncentives that tie journal peer review to editorial selection of articles,,,work against the timely and authentic communication of research findings."
"Resolving this issue requires more than reforming who edits journals or how they are funded. It demands a structural separation between dissemination (publishing and peer review) and selection (curation)."

The US-Israeli strategy against Iran is working.

Every aspect of Iran’s ability to project regional power is being successfully degraded.

aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/…
"[W]hat I see in the current campaign is a recognisable military operation proceeding through identifiable phases against an adversary whose capacity to project power is collapsing in real time."
"Iranian ballistic missile launches have fallen by more than 90 percent from 350 on February 28 to roughly 25 by March 14, according to publicly available data. Drone launches tell the same story: from more than 800 on Day 1 to about 75 on Day 15."

"[A] research group…funded by NIH...contract HHSN26620070001…took…H7N1 flu virus of ostriches and adapted it to respiratory transmission between ferrets…[A]fter ferret respiratory transmission, transmission was not associated with loss of virulence."

"This novel human flu virus kills as readily as the Ebola virus"

"It's respiratory transmissible"

"Humans are immunologically naïve to such a virus"

"The recipe is plastered across the cloud, downloadable by any Tom, Dick or Harry curtesy of USG"

NIH files reveal broader coronavirus engineering research before COVID-19

Documents show scientists across multiple US-funded projects proposed altering spike proteins and cleavage sites in bat viruses

usrtk.org/covid-19-origi…
"By the time the pandemic began..., the tools and scientific concepts for tuning how coronaviruses enter human cells were no longer speculative. They had already been...pursued across an international network of collaborating laboratories."
"The newly surfaced documents...provide contemporaneous evidence of how researchers and federal officials were thinking about coronavirus engineering years before the outbreak began."
