In 2014, a Lassa infected rat escaped its cage at RML. Staff searched “for 1–2 hours” in BSL4 spacesuits but couldn’t find it, so they closed the door, posted “Do Not Enter” signs, and caught it the next day. They still concluded the containment system worked perfectly.

In 2015, an Ebola needlestick but the risk is "negligible" since it's like working in Africa!

RML used Raid Flea Killer in their deadly plague (Y Pestis) flea experiment.Image

- Cameras in the RML BSL4 but not available to CDC select agent inspectors
- a "distracted" postdoc was bitten by a mouse infected with Lyme disease
- a "7th generation" African rat, bred in RML for Lassa and Hantavirus, bit a tech
- by 2014, Heinz Feldmann studied CoVs in pigs Image
Image
Image
Image
- aerosolizing CWD (from NA wt deer) under BSL2 conditions, but no dual-use concerns
- by 2015, Feldmann researched self-spreading or "disseminating" vaccines using CMV-based viruses
- Feldmann relies on others (e.g. Baric) to produce his vaccines, so no dual-use issues Image
Image
Image
Image
- In 2015, Fauci's #2, Hugh Auchincloss, was DIR at RML
- Feldmann has RGS for Hantavirus, but wiggles out of dual-use concerns
- I think RML classifies deer under "sheep and goats"
- marmoset ran up the arm and onto the shoulder and bit the tech in the neck! Image

- Vincent Munster appears for 1st time on pg 257. Using a MERS spike in a Copenhagen virus for a vaccine. Ironically, Munster doesn't want to take the Smallpox vaccine, so he will work in BSL4

5 years later, a "Copenhagen virus" became a mutated SARS2 strain (Cluster 5) in Danish mink farms, which prompted a cull of 17 million mink.Image
- lots of drama on the (anti-vax) RML campus
- Feldmann and Marshall Bloom studied Zika during the 2016 Brazil outbreak
- ironically Fauci said he almost died from WNV in 2024 Image
Image
Image
Baric and Munster's WIV1 bat experiments started in Feb 2016. @TylerAStepke please FOIA all RML docs related to PRD-12-143 and PRD-17-143. They even redacted Munster's name from this 2015 doc on pg 299 Image

How Fauci, Daszak & Baric blew up the world, lied under oath, and got away with it

In 2017, Jim Gimlett of DARPA told Daszak he wanted to vaccinate Chinese bats in Chinese caves

Daszak responded, "Interesting idea..."🧵 Image
Image
DARPA had invited Shi Zhengli to Washington, D.C.

Shi and Daszak then invited Baric to join their DARPA Defuse team, because they needed his expertise in "manipulating coronaviruses"

Baric replied, "Marvelous opportunity. Count me in." Image
Image
Baric apparently invited Vincent Munster of RML to join the DARPA Defuse team

This pre-DARPA Defuse draft shows the eventual supply chain for creating Covid: Baric > Munster > Linfa Wang > WIV Image

Daszak on more ammo from Ralph Baric, who was on CNN last night - aka The Resistance Image
@emilyakopp fabricated a story against me in the anti GMO press insinuating I'm behind GOF research. @PeterHotez Image
was this the letter that created the "not to be shared with Congress" files? Image

New EcoHealth FOIA🧵

$2.8M "novel" Nipah bat vaccine developed at Fauci's Rocky Mountain Lab. Bid in Oct 2019.

Vincent Munster proposed Syrian hamsters & Egyptian fruit bats as a proxy (aka SARS2 reservoir host)Image
Image
background on Fauci's direct involvement:
Image
Chapter 6 of my book has background on NIAID PO: Eun-chung Park for $2.8M U01AI153420 (she was Daszak's first PO in China from 2010)

new USRTK Baric FOIA 🧵

we finally have a signed DARPA reject letter with Baric's Defuse budget ($2.5M out of $14.2M total) Image
Image
Image
compare UNC's $2.5M budget vs WIV $1.2M

UNC's $122k in salary vs WIV $50k Image
Image
the only email Baric released out of 2500 pages? The R01 renewal (aka DARPA Defuse TA1). Daszak added Baric to the NIAID grant in Nov 2018 to get Fauci to fund Defuse. Of course, UNC didn't release the attached word doc, so cc @garyruskin @sai_suryan Image

Fauci pointed George Gao (China CDC) to their NIH collaboration on mRNA

One year later Gao said, “We do not know any potential long term side effects of mRNA in body! The Americans are brave!” Image
Image
Fauci “did not recall” the 8pm Jan 31, 2020 call that he setup with Gao Image
Image
Image
2 hours later KGA told Fauci that SARS2 looks engineered Image
