This section refers to:

China’s Biological Warfare Programme: An Integrative Study with Special Reference to Biological Weapons Capabilities (2015) by Danny Shoham

PDF

The author of the Master's Thesis, Corey Pfluke wrote a summarised version of her section on China in 2020:

Biohazard: A Look at China’s Biological Capabilities and the Recent Coronavirus Outbreak

airuniversity.af.edu/Wild-Blue-Yond…
"Although assessing China’s military capabilities is notoriously difficult due to the secrecy & opacity its institutions maintain, a combination of historical records, assessments, & studies provide a view of China’s BW programme, this view is unsettling"

My thread on China's BW Program

An important Reference is a paper by Croddy (2002 )

(a little dated but with many useful references to suspected facilities)

including the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products

(WIBP..next door to the WIV BSL4 Complex in Jingxia)

Hence my tweet yesterday

Another article by Dany Shoham focusing on the Canadian-Tianjin Angle:

China's Biological Warfare Programme and the Curious Case of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu (2019)

idsa.in/cbwmagazine/ch…

x.com/BillyBostickso…
The Radosavljevic–Belojevic method for outbreak scoring & differentiation shows that the official assumption of its natural origin is questionable and highlights the probability that the pathogen may have been "accidentally" introduced to humans

researchgate.net/publication/35…
“The genomic origin of the strain that infected patient zero was a Chinese bat virus that underwent extensive pre-adaptation to humans, including continual transmissibility..
“The open question is how, where, and when such exceptional genomic pre-adaptation took place” Image
One possibility is that a wild-type virus was 1st propagated repeatedly in human tissue cultures & the resulting spontaneously upgraded virus was then used to experimentally infect monkeys or ferrets—one of which then accidentally infected staff in the lab
jns.org/opinion/where-…
An interesting observation

"The WIV has long been routinely supplied with rhesus monkeys from the Macaque Breeding Base in Suizhou City"

You may be wondering why this thread has diverged into Chinese monkey breeding minutia...

Reason being that any putative Chinese BW program would require monkeys for experiments, as was the case in USA & UK (Operation Cauldron)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation…

bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
Operation Cauldron Film:

The trials were conducted by scientists from Porton Down in Wiltshire. About 3,500 monkeys and guinea pigs were killed after exposure to "plague bombs"

More Chinese Monkey Research and Breeding Programs to come tomorrow
5 species of primates are used in China for biomedical research
2 species, crab-eating macaque & common marmoset are alien
3 species, pigtail, stumptail & rhesus macaques, are indigenous
Those used for biomedical research are crab-eating & rhesus macaques

The following information on monkey breeding centres in China is from 2001.

There have been some changes...

For example, Hubei Topgene Biotechnology, the new supplier to WIV and WIBP was not listed 20 years ago. Image

China has become the Mecca for those deluded Chinese & Foreign Researchers keen to abuse monkeys on the altar of Science.

Please Note

This thread is an investigation of the breeding centres, laboratory research evidence, logistics and locations of possible Biological Warfare research in China using non human primates.

It may lead nowhere or it might lead somewhere, that remains to be determined. Image

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

frontiersin.org/journals/micro…

See Tweeets 32 to 35 for Why 👇 x.com/BillyBostickso…
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
