The main actors in this whistle-blower detour down the lab-leak rabbit hole include the group of internet activists known as DRASTIC, which published the documents
3. Whistleblower
Backing the headline were documents that DRASTIC said came from the unidentified whistle-blower. They showed that EcoHealth Alliance in 2018 applied for a federal grant to study bat coronaviruses with three other US research groups
4. Twitter, not?
5. DRASTIC Steps
The activists at DRASTIC, who include scientists as well as those who remain anonymous, argue that their work has made important discoveries in demanding a full investigation of all Covid-19 origin hypotheses
6. @stuartjdneil denounces those who call #DRASTIC cranks or conspiracy theorists and insists our work has great value.
Thank you, world renowned Professor of Virology for your continuing support!
Unfortunately, there is no direct proof provided by Redfield in this new interview, but he cites engineering features, early data, and classified information.
🧵3. Summary of Redfield's Statements
(on SARS-CoV-2 Origins & Cover-Up)
He claims SARS-CoV-2 originated from GOF research in a lab and emphasizes a significant US role alongside China.
He views this as a major biosecurity failure with ongoing suppression of transparency.
"Of note, the spike protein of this novel bat coronavirus possesses a functional FCS at the S1/S2 junction with a unique amino acid sequence motif (RDAR) that differs from that found in SARS-CoV-2 (RRAR) by only 1 amino acid."
"The molecular biology capabilities of WIV & the genome assessment are consistent with the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 was a lab-engineered virus that was part of a bank of chimeric viruses in Zheng-Li Shi's laboratory at WIV that escaped from containment"
Between 2017 and 2019, WIV created full-length a infectious clone in pBAC-CMV using an unpublished bat Coronavirus genome as template (BatCoVX)
page 85
3. Hypothesis 3:
Between 2017 and 2019, WIV created chimeric Bat-CoV-X viruses using the pBACCMV-BCOVX backbone and swapping out key cassettes with other bat Coronaviruses (RBD, RBM, etc.) and adding additional features such as a furin cleavage site
We need to find out why Peter Daszak & EcoHealth had In-Q-Tel backing and why Nathan Wolfe (an obvious intelligence asset with links to Epstein/Maxwell, Boris Nikolic, and Bill Gates) was on their editorial board.
