1. WSJ: With US funding, Ben Hu with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) was studying how coronaviruses infect humans and became ill in November 2019 with symptoms that American officials said were consistent with either Covid-19 or a seasonal illness. wsj.com/articles/u-s-f…
2. @WhiteCoatWaste got the NIAID grant with Ben Hu's name on it. This is the NIH institute that Tony Fauci ran. Ya' know, the guy who said he didn't fund this research?

Document shows Ben Hu is a subcontractor to Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance.

Hu also reports a USAID grant. Image
3. The Journal notes that they reported back in 2021 that these three WIV researchers had fallen sick. Those names remained classified until now: Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu.

So this has been known in classified documents ... for years! Image
4. Ben Hu works under Shi Zhengli at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Gain of function = "modifying coronaviruses so they can bind to human cells" meaning infect them. Image
5. The United States poured over $1 million into research at the WIV for researchers working under Shi Zhengli, who was a contractor to Peter Daszak EcoHealth Alliance.

FYI: It's ridiculous that people keep goading China to become transparent. Open the books at NIH & USAID! Image
6. The media has gaslighted us for years about WIV. Here's NY Times @carlzimmer praising Shi Zhengli: "her accomplishments and foresight are exactly what we need if we want to stop more coronaviruses...."

Zimmer went on to write years of misleading NYT articles on virus research Image
7. Here's another example of media gaslighting.

Buzzfeed's @paldhous smeared @WhiteCoatWaste last year as "right wing." Does this term even mean anything anymore? Again #scicom writers write, they don't report.

W/o @WhiteCoatWaste we wouldn't have these documents. Image
8. As for Ben Hu's USAID money.... as I reported last year, USAID officials illegally redirected some virus grant money to a new thing called The Global Virome Project that is headed up by a former USAID official, Peter Daszak of EcoHealth, and academics at UC Davis. Image
9. CBS News reported this March that much of that USAID virus money was likely contract fraud.

I have confirmed that the Inspector General of USAID has a criminal investigation into this matter. Image
10. You can read the WSJ piece here: wsj.com/articles/u-s-f…

FINAL: NIH didn't respond to WSJ for comments, nor did Peter Daszak.

Both NIH and Daszak only respond to friendly #scicomm writers. Image

1) @latimes Michael Hiltzik has a long history of unethical journalism: spying on his reporter colleagues & creating sock puppet accounts.

I'm releasing recording by 2 women Hiltzik interviewed who were harmed by vaccines and Hiltzik then smeared as anti-vax. Image
2) LA Times editors caught Hiltzik in "sting operation" in 1993 spying on his own LA Times colleagues. The paper then ordered him back from Moscow. disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/new-recordin…Image
3) Hiltzik graced the pages of the NY Times 13 years later when LA Times editors caught him making up shit and creating fake accounts.

1) Trump administration has pivoted to investigate the much ballyhooed "Proximal Origin" paper by @scrippsresearch Kristian Andersen.

Read DOJ's letter to @NatureMedicine. Trump officials believe the paper was a quid pro quo for a Fauci grant. tinyurl.com/ykr7vxpvImage
2) Suspicions have long dogged this study, as emails have found the authors ran it past funders Tony Fauci and Francis Collins at the NIH, as well as @JeremyFarrar when he was at the Wellcome Trust.

In one email, Kristian Andersen praised them for "advice and leadership." Image
3) When Nature Medicine published the paper, editor in chief Joaa Monteiro claimed the paper “put conspiracy theories” about the pandemic’s possible lab origin to rest.

Is labelling an alternative hypothesis a "conspiracy theory" normal in science? Image

1) @ScienceMagazine interviewed @NIHDirector_Jay and then pretended he lied to them in the interview, kicking of a storm on #Bluesky.

I'm releasing the entire interview and a transcript.

The behavior is appalling, not the first time Science has been caught in unethical acts. Image
2) @AshleyRindsberg released a story for @tabletmag w/ emails catching @sciencemagazine Jon Cohen in salacious behavior. tinyurl.com/yrtjp5dwImage
3) In this case, Science Magazine claimed in two stories that Bhattacharya dismissed a Nature article "that NIH planned to suspend subawards for foreign collaborators"

This is false, and not what Nature reported. Image

1) Guest essay by NIH Infectious Disease Researcher names former boss Tony Fauci for misleading the nation; calls for end to dangerous gain-of-function virus studies that likely caused #COVID pandemic.

"For too many years, scientists have sold the public on a lie." Image
2) Fauci promoted paper by @scrippsresearch's Kristian Andersen to downplay lab accident. This paper was fake b/c it did not examine a common lab process called "serial passaging".

Fauci promoted this paper to the public, right under Trump's nose tinyurl.com/4wwbj69mImage
3) Andersend and authors of “Proximal Origin” paper ignored serial passaging, so they didn’t “disprove” a lab origin for COVID.

I have no idea how ignoring something so obvious could make it pass peer review and get published in a prestigious journal like @NatureMedicine.

1) Dr. Gretchen Lefever Watson & other scientists applaud @RobertKennedyJr for acting on the need to research links between antidepressants and teen violence.

Calls out @SenTinaSmith for spreading false information about these drug's benefits that aligns w/ industry marketing. Image
2) Lefever's research into the overprescription and harms of these drugs to teens was shut down by Big Pharma.

So why is @SenTinaSmith promoting Big Pharma propaganda? @GrageDustin @LauraDelano @DrJaclynnMoskow
tinyurl.com/42fmn8puImage
3) For almost two decades, researchers have called for further research into the links between violence and psychotropic drugs (antidepressants, stimulants, antipsychotics and mood stabilizers). Image

1) People still don't fully grasp how much the expert class lied to us during #COVID_19.

Science historian David Robertson details how the WHO and esteemed professors redefined "herd immunity" to push lockdowns and vaccine mandates. Image
2) Early in the pandemic, Channel 4 hosted epidemiologist and UK advisor John Edmunds to explain the importance of herd immunity.

Facing off against him: marketing exec and social media influencer @ThomasPueyo. This was a 1st sign of the coming insanity. tinyurl.com/mt3d22fxImage
3) Experts redefined herd immunity to mean "immunity only from vaccines." Below is the actual definition

The proportion of immunes in a population, above which the incidence of the infection decreases.

- Porta, A Dictionary of Epidemiology (Oxford University Press, 2008) p.115
