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.

"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
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.
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!
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..
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.
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
