1. Calling for Volunteers to help map BSL 3 & 4 Labs

#DRASTIC Bio-Safety Labs World Map

Only 12 Lab complexes added so far 😧

2. The Volunteer who went AWOL

Unfortunately we lost our volunteer BSL Lab mapmaker to the competition

(they got a 110,00 GBP grant..we didn't)

kcl.ac.uk/news/project-a…
3. Decentralised Cooperation

Due to lack of funds, we want to decentralise the work:

One or more people from every nation to fill in a document with:

Lab names
Latitudes & Longitudes
Description
Size
Photos
Research fields
Viruses studied (if known)
Researchers
Reference URLs
4. Excel Data Format would be helpful

(if not then html, text or word can also be sent)

When received it will be checked and added to the main Excel document that auto populates our Map.
5. Columns in our Excel file:

A for Abbreviation
B for Location (Lat & Long)
C for Laboratoires
D for Wider Facility
E for Overarching Organisation
F for Address
G for City
H for State
I for Country
J for Type of Lab
K for Lab Leak History
L for URL
M for Notes
N for Sources
6. A view only copy of our current Excel File (BSL4)

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

There are other Excel files for ABSL3 and BSL3, etc
7. Contributions and offers to help can be sent to:

drasticgroup@protonmail.com

or uploaded to your google drive and shared via a link

This is precise, detailed & unpaid work.

The USA may need 50 people or more (one per State) due to the number of BSL3 and BSL4 labs.
8. Decentralised Future? Make it Happen!

"True progress lies in the direction of decentralization , in development of the spirit of local & personal initiative, of free federation from the simple to the compound, in lieu of the present hierarchy from the centre to the periphery"
Decentralised Global BSL3 & 4 Map Project

🧡 As promised, my final report is now published 🍾

1. Obviously this is not a tik tok video, although it would be great to make a tik tok version πŸ™‚

So, you will need a few hours to read and digest the implications as the science is complex.

Links to the report in next tweet.

3, Well, it is a Pangolin Sunday, eh?

A. β€œThe Pangolin Papers” presents a robust argument for the lab-mediated origin of SARS-CoV-2, particularly centered on experiments conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) during 2018 and 2019.

2. Dire Injustice!

It is a lamentable truth, oft repeated in the progressive broadsheets and the sanctimonious halls of modern discourse, that the state of our prisons reveals a dire injustice.
3. Gaol'd Wretches

We are told, with furrowed brows and trembling voices, that Black men, comprising a mere 4% of the good people of England and Wales, yet numbering 13% of our gaol’d wretches, suffer under the cruel yoke of systemic discrimination.

In the bad old days they injected them with yellow fever & other nasties for dispersal by planes.

1. Latest Victim of Flo Debarre's "Doxxng" Crusade

Is ME!

I got a disturbing & threatening email, mentioning:

"room for negotiation about the name"

"1st story is often the one that sticks, even if it's not accurate..your chance to negotiate terms"

"continue over Signal" Image
2. Le Monde

The reporter she is working with, William Audureau @Willvs , seems a principled journalist and did not know of her nefarious doxxing activities against me and other members of DRASTIC and our supporters in Academia, of which he dissaproves. Image
@Willvs 3. Best way to deal with bullies is to expose them!

I thus emailed CNRS, Cyber Security Office & the Minister of the Interior to complain

An unexpected result in a UK Porton Down Study

"Participant 12" (maybe a soldier at Aldershot). after infection with SC2, over time experienced a substantial number of mutations suggestive of rapid evolution.

Yet he was healthy & not immunocompetent?

They don't consider the possibility of quasispecies viral swarms as a possible factor in Participant 12?
