1🧵A developing story of multiple outbreaks of #MarburgVirus in Equatorial Guinea, and Tanzania in Africa occurring over the last few weeks. Marburg is rare but holds a 88-90% fatality rate according to the reports coming out of the area.

2🧵What I found most concerning was the particular locations of the outbreaks and their proximity to BSL-3 & BSL-4 Laboratories in Africa. While zoonotic spillover is possible, lab leaks do occur and so far there is no theory or evidence suggesting a natural host.

3🧵What was even MORE concerning was the map of where Metabiota had confirmed locations of operations. Although most think Metabiota is long gone, think again. Metabiota joined #HEADA, in #Cameroon, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Congo.

4🧵 Thanks to some fabulous research from "US Right to Know" it's known that #Metabiota (#HunterBiden's investment) was closely tied with #USAID, UC Davis, and #EcoHealthAlliance. For, in fact, emerging pathogens...

5🧵In work emails between EHA's Jonna Mazet and #USAID's Andrew Clements it was clear the joined effort between the parties was to continue with roles & level of involvement to be re-evaluated.

6🧵In a 2017 email between Clements and Mazet an alarming statement is made: "...As a result, the role of Metabiota will be decreased and the role of EcoHealth Alliance [In China] will increase.."

7🧵This raises many questions: What were the activities of Metabiota up until 2017 in China concerning pathogens and Eco Health Alliance? Why, after their failure with the #Ebola Crisis, send Metabiota back to African countries? Why was USAID still funding this?!

8🧵Why hasn't this fact been headlined? Hunter Biden's big Pandemic Tracking/Insurance investment is tied to EcoHealth Alliance, UC Davis & USAID at the same time, in China, where congressional record now proves US-funded-GOF Coronavirus research was being conducted!

9 🧵Their presence in Africa within proximity to what we now see as a very concerning outbreak Marburg would be bad enough but then one notices the Bio-Saftey Labs in the area and can't help but wonder, is this the next pandemic Bill Gates said would get our attention?
