I noted that instead of referencing my work with my name, the report just uses "DRASTIC REASEACH GROUP"
Hmmm..., well, whatever, the important thing is we helped inform them and were credited.
Some Examples
Document Archiving Credited on 14 Occasions
"Thanks to the DRASTIC Research Group for locating this document and archiving it"
Example:
Background
The 328-page report details how systemic negligence from scientists and pressure from Chinese Communist Party officials left the Wuhan Institute of Virology uniquely susceptible to a lab leak.
Early Warning Signs
Senior Chinese Communist Party officials were aware of a "serious biocontainment failure or accident" at the Wuhan Institute more than a month before disclosing it to the public, but worked to hide that information from outside observers.
Government Cover-Up
Beijing began an international deception campaign to deflect responsibility. CCP officials said in January 2020 that the virus emerged from a Wuhan wet market and ignored Chinese researchers who ruled out that possibility. They then imposed a gag order.
International Deception
Senior CCP officials were aware of a "serious biocontainment failure or accident" at WIV more than a month before disclosing it to the public, but worked to hide that information from outside observers.
Lab Leak Clues
WIV cut corners in its lab safety protocol as it raced to keep up with its Western counterparts, all the while obsessively reducing its reliance on "key & core equipment" manufactured abroad
The resulting flawed patents were examined by myself & @RdeMaistre
In this enlightened year of our Lord 2025 I, a humble observer of mankind’s ceaseless quest for health, find myself much struck by the ingenious practices of the Orient..
🧵2. A Scaly Panacea
...where the pangolin, that scaly denizen of subtropical climes, hath been elevated to a panacea most wondrous.
The Baicao Chinese Medicine compendium, a veritable gospel of herbal wisdom, doth proclaim the virtues of this creature’s scales...
🧵3. Humanity's Salvation?
...harvested with a diligence that would shame the most ardent of alchemists.
I propose, therefore, a modest scheme to amplify this noble tradition, ensuring that the pangolin’s sacrifice might serve the greater good of humanity.
1. What appears wasteful research to you in the present may be of great value to you or others in the future, if it is given the time to develop to its logical end.
Don’t judge the usefulness of your findings too quickly!
2. What appears wasteful or a dead end to you..
May be of immense value to somebody else!
Don’t judge the usefulness:
1. Of other people’s findings based only on your own assessment of them.
2. Of your own findings based only on your own current assessment of them either.
3. What appears wasteful and a dead end to you..
A. May be the raw stuff that new hypotheses and new research directions are born from.
B. Don’t judge the usefulness of your "investigations" until you have given them enough time to surprise you.
-Deliberate release of bioweapon
-Accidental release of bioweapon in development
-Lab accident during genetic engineering
-Lab accident during cell culture
-Lab accident during vaccine development
-Accidental infection that no one knew about
2⃣ WCDC
• Lab worker infected during field animal sampling
• Accident during experimental work
• Accident from exposure to infected waste
• Accident during move to new location
• WCDC gave bat samples to the WIV
3⃣ Virus engineering
•Engineered from RaTG13
•Engineered from pool of bat viruses (Laos)
•Engineered from secret database of bat viruses
•Engineered at UNC & shipped to the WIV
•Engineered hybrid of bat & pangolin viruses🐵
•Synthetic infectious clone engineered in vitro
