7. What Needs To Be Made Public

All proposals & progress reports discussing dangerous virus experiments & documents related to the planning of the experiments

Details as to when, where & why such experiments were planned including any review processes involved

Risks & Benefits Image
8. Question of Biowarfare Research

It is now clear (to me) that the US, despite its denials, has pursued an illegal biowarfare program, by outsourcing collection of deadly viruses around the world & making them more virulent & pathogenetic.

We now have all the evidence we need
9. Public Denials, Ongoing Research.

Of course, The US Government and the Scientists involved will never state that they are engaged in biowarfare research, but rather "biodefense" and the noble drive to develop vaccines and prophylactics for deadly viruses & bacterial diseases. Image
10. The New Mantra: "Protecting the War Fighter"

11. Recently Highlighted in the #DEFUSE Documents

US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program to protect the US “warfighter”

12. No Need for Resurrection

of more controversial elements of US cold war biowarfare projects (well documented), e.g. aerosolisation of pathogens & their respective delivery programs, as they know exactly how to do all this

Now there is a wider repertoire of offensive weapons Image

13. Extent of Pentagon Biowarfare Program?

Pentagon linked researchers like Lipkin (Mailman) Nichol (Atlanta) Baric (UNC) Bavari, Totura (USAMRIID), Denison, Munster (Rocky Mountain) & DARPA, DTRA, PREDICT Scientists involved could tell us a great deal!

14. Final Point in This Thread

We cannot only point the finger of blame at the US

Russia has continued Soviet work on biological weapons, but I will discuss that in a new thread



Did the Russian program encourage the Pentagon to covertly pursue its own?thebulletin.org/2022/10/the-ru…

1. Federal agencies like the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) as well as the NIAID were funding a remarkable array of research projects around the world..
2. "through a small cabal of civilian actors that in aggregate constituted a de facto bioweapons development program. In my job as data analyst for University of California, I had access to enough data to strongly suspect the existence of such a program"

1. August 17, 2021, was the date the CIA's COVID Discovery Team was forced to officially finalize & submit their changed conclusion.

Prior to August 17, 2021, 6 out of 7 members of the team had concluded with "low confidence" that COVID-19 originated from a lab in Wuhan, China.
2. The whistleblower just testified that following pressure & interference from mid-level & senior CIA leadership, the team's lab-leak findings were suppressed.
3. On August 17, 2021, the team was forced to reverse its stance and officially submit a conclusion stating they were unable to determine the origin, which formed the basis of the declassified ODNI report released later that month.

1. Ducks and DURC in China (2026)

This is GOF research via experimental adaptation increasing pathogenicity which is DURC because it involves a listed high-risk pathogen and increases virulence via serial passage in a key reservoir host. i.e. DUCKS!

mdpi.com/1999-4915/18/5…
2. Lethal Duck Killer

The Jiangsu researchers deliberately turned a relatively mild H5N6 avian influenza virus into a highly lethal killer of ducks through repeated serial passage in duck cells and live mallard ducks.
3. Good opportunity to boost my Video from 2013!

What originally caused zero deaths in mallards was rapidly adapted into a strain causing up to 100% mortality, massive viral replication in organs, and severe disease..

1. Here is yet another example of twisted biased agenda driven science

(Whether or not you are in favor of vaping)

theguardian.com/australia-news…

Clearly the pathetic excuses for science journalists at the Guardian & other MSM failed to fact check the paper:

sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reactio…
2. Prof Peter Shields, Professor of Medical Oncology at Ohio State University

“This paper does not add anything we do not already know, but selectively cites studies (and omits many others that refute the authors statements throughout) that leads the reader down the wrong path"
3. Prof Peter Shields (2)

“None of their mechanistic studies (selectively cited) has been validated as actual risk predictors in people, and the authors failure to recognize that leads to harmful conclusions."

Critical Examination of 3 Related Studies on SARS-CoV-2 Origins


My latest paper, a pleasantly vicious critique, reveals exactly how the zoonati clique try to bamboozle gullible journalists and scientists to drive their biased narrative of natural originresearchgate.net/publication/40…
2. This core interpretive move by the authors, from failure to detect a shift in selection pressure to claiming strong evidence of “no adaptation being required”, exemplifies the pernicious absence of evidence-based reasoning so characteristic of their tedious papers.
3. Yet, a small cluster of publications from a recurring group of agenda driven authors continues to exert disproportionate and malign influence on the debate over the origins of SARS-COV-2.

1. A truly stunning example of what is called an "ad hoc hypothesis", i.e. a secondary hypothesis added to a theory specifically to save it from being falsified when evidence for its original version is missing or contradictory.

(in this case, the long lost intermediate host)
2. They used a modeling framework called RELAX to claim that viruses like SARSCoV2 may already have the ability to infect humans whilst in their natural reservoir, meaning an intermediate host or long-term adaptation wouldn't leave the evolutionary footprints previously expected.
3. A classic post hoc justification for the absence of physical evidence by grant stuffed criminals, in short:

I couldn't find the evidence I said was required, so I've invented a theory that explains why the evidence I failed to find was never actually needed in the first place
