Recent @WhiteCoatWaste FOIA release

Laos to WIV, 2018!

"LAOS PI or Co-Investigators to conduct field
trip to assess markets, identify wildlife in them & arrange for shipment of bats and other high-risk host species to WIV Laboratory in China"

scribd.com/document/53702…
All Roads & Bats lead to the Wuhan institute of Death
If PD won't tell us, then these people need to be asked some questions about exactly aht samples they sent to WIV.
Wuhan University..
The usual suspects
Risks of Exposure to Coronavirus Infection

Aleksei Chmura (2015):

"We do not have formal plans to provide participants with information about minimizing risks of exposure to Coronavirus infection"
DoD, July 2019
To be more precise....Department of the Navy

Remember the LAOS expedition in 2017?

US DoD and Pasteur Institute were in Feuang District where the closest bat coronavirus, Banal 20 52, came from, back in 2017

2016, Page 378

"In addition, your progress report makes reference to two chimeric bat SARS-like CoVs constructed on a WIV-1 backbone"

Fast forward to 2018

"Pathogenicity of 2 new bat SARS-related covs to transgenic mice expressing human ACE2"

Signing off for now with the Wuhan University ABSL3

More on that particular laboratory here:

Pages 5 to 17

researchgate.net/publication/35…

"Experimental work using humanized mice will be
conducted at the Center for Animal Experiment Biosafety 3 lab of Wuhan University"
Lab Mice also at WIV ABSL3! (P. 234)

Laboratory mice will be housed in the BSL-3 small animal facility Center for Animal Experiment
at Wuhan Institute of Virology . Two senior Wuhan Institute of Virology veterinarians (Drs. An XueFang and Zhang Fan) will oversee the experiments"
Why we need to see Dr. Daszak's Emails (P. 234)

"The Veterinarian in charge will notify the on-site Co-P l (Dr. Zheng li Shi) and the Principal Investigator (Dr. Daszak) by telephone and email if there are any issues regarding animal health and welfare"
Ben Hu's grant, for sure (Page 18)

Location of Project: Wuhan Institute of Virology, CAS
Why a bad idea, you may ask?

Explained here (Pages 53 and 54):

"unknown or undetected highly pathogenic bat viruses would have been able to replicate clandestinely in WIV bat cell lines as they would not have been constrained by a bat immune system"

1. The Second Lab Leak

Turning and turning in the petri dish,
The scientists cannot hear the warnings;
Genes recombine; the barriers cannot hold,
Evil virology is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
2. The Second Lab Leak

The best lack critical thinking, while the professors
Are full of furious bias.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the cover up is now banned?
Lab Leak! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Human Folly
Troubles my sight:
3. Somewhere in Wuhan

somewhere in the cell lines of a Chinese laboratory
A shape with pangolin body and the head of a bat,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its long tongue, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant molested bats.

🧵As promised, here is my counter critique & rebuttal of some points made by @gadboit about the Pangolin Papers Hypothesis.

His theory seems to be that SARS-COV-2 emerged like Aphrodite, from BANAL BAT viruses, possibly with some FCS tweaking & no Pangolins coronaviruses needed.
🧵1. Introduction

@gadboit claims BANAL-52’s 96.8% similarity and natural recombination outweigh my lab + PangolinCoV hypothesis for SARS-CoV-2’s origin.

However, my evidence shows PangolinCoV signatures, WIV lab work & recombination are stronger.

researchgate.net/publication/39…
@gadboit 🧵2. @gadboit claims BANAL-52’s 96.8% similarity & ACE2 binding make it closer to SARS-CoV-2 than PCoVs (~91%) & that PCoV features could come from bat CoVs.

But GD PCoV’s RBD (97% identity) needs no mutations for hACE2, unlike BANALs.

See Wrobel et al:

🧵 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 🙂

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. “The 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.

1. A Modest Proposal for the Fair Imprisonment of Women and the Liberation of Men

By a Concerned Citizen of Reason,

Published in The Rational Gazette on X

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.
