🧵My comments and some conclusions regarding the EHA documents we found:

1. Peter Daszak actively schemed to foil congressional and other investigations into EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) and its ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as revealed in the DRASTIC document stash.

2⃣ He orchestrated a “Coalition of Support” with former USAID officials like Dennis Carroll and NGOs like the Smithsonian, which sent letters (e.g., April 24, 2020, to NIH) decrying grant cuts as political attacks to deflect scrutiny (Part 6, p.35-36).

3⃣ Daszak hired the Kyle House Group (KHG) to lobby against NDAA defunding amendments, with KHG’s Porter joining meetings like one on August 4, 2023, with Rep. Adam Smith’s staff to kill Sen. Joni Ernst’s provisions (Part 7, p.52).

4⃣🚨Perjury

He also misled Congress by perjuring himself in testimony, falsely attributing the Latinne paper delay to grant issues while omitting Chinese pressure to suppress bat-origin data (Daszak-TI-Transcript.pdf, p.233; Part 10, p.79).

5⃣ Additionally, Daszak reported DRASTIC investigators to the FBI as “QAnon conspiracists” (May 21, 2020, FBI Daszak.pdf, p.39-40), attempting to discredit their probes into WIV’s role. These moves show a calculated effort to obstruct investigations and protect EHA’s funding.

6⃣ GoF Denials & Oversight Failures
(Part 9, p.68; Part 10, p.76)
Daszak claimed NIH’s GoF pause (2014-2017) was irrelevant to WIV’s work, implying compliance with Chinese laws, despite Baric’s 2015 concerns & 2018 warning against wildtype SARS-CoV work without U.S. registration

7⃣ Oversight Failures

The above, coupled with WIV ignoring Baric’s GoF restrictions, exposes EHA’s lax oversight & complicity in risky research.

His April 2015 note to check WIV’s GoF with Baric & WIV selling Baric’s mice, hints at deeper WIV misconduct which PD didn't address.

8⃣ DEFUSE and DARPA Ties

(Part 1, p.4-8)

Daszak and Shi Zhengli’s Jun 2017 DARPA/NIAID meetings to shape PREEMPT (p.4, 7) reveal the deep influence of EHA on US funding priorities.

Secondly, Shi’s presence raises red flags about Chinese access to sensitive programs.

9⃣ Baric and DEFUSE

The full 8-page Baric DEFUSE contribution (Mar 2018, p.4) (which is more complete than the @USRightToKnow version) and its accidental omission in the final proposal highlight EHA’s incompetence, potentially costing approval.

@USRightToKnow 🔟 Daszak’s 2020 recycling of DEFUSE

His attempt to recycle parts of DEFUSE into $300K/$500K DARPA grants (p.6) shows his opportunistic pivoting to COVID-19 concerns, while leveraging the prior WIV linked work of concern.

@USRightToKnow 1⃣1⃣ WIV Data Access Issues (Part 10, p.80)

EHA’s lack of access to WIV’s bat CoV database (Mar 2018, DEFUSE proposal) and Zhengli’s refusal to share without approval (Part 10, p.79) confirm EHA’s limited control over WIV’s data, contradicting PD's claims of transparency.

@USRightToKnow 1⃣2⃣ PREDICT Narrative Flip (Part 10, p.76)

Andrew Clements (USAID) initially pushed to claim RaTG13 as a PREDICT virus (May 2021), then distanced PREDICT from origins after scrutiny, with PD acquiescing, showing a coordinated effort to manipulate the lab-leak narrative.

@USRightToKnow 1⃣3⃣ Chinese Connections (Part 10, p.81)

Daszak’s 2015 meeting with Heimowitz, whose grandmother founded the US Communist Party & who was “well-connected in all Chinese Government Activities,” raises some questions about EHA’s ties to Chinese networks and WIV collaboration.

@USRightToKnow 1⃣4⃣ Laos BANAL Samples (Part 10, p.81)

Confidential serological results from Lao BANAL samples (Jul/Aug 2023, R01 meetings) and demands for secrecy by Elizabeth Ashley indicate EHA’s ongoing efforts to control sensitive data, potentially linked to lab-leak-related sequences.

@USRightToKnow 1⃣5⃣Temporary Conclusion

You, reader, are a juror in truth’s court, and I believe you will also conclude that DRASTIC’s new evidence, ripped from that EHA Drive, shows the true nature of Daszak, his infernal machinations, and how his mercenary empire was built on lies!
