๐งต WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN DRASTIC Ok, we need to set the record straight about how the DRASTIC schism happened. And no, itโs not because of the Radical R, although many of us did want to change it once we realized Billy originally used it for his RAGE University years ago: https://t.co/RpuMYgKIGO
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
Needless to say, most DRASTIC members want nothing to do with such radical anarchist messaging which we never signed up to endorse: https://t.co/1PA74Tfwt0
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
But what precipitated our decision to separate from Billy was the revelation that he appropriated the group email access and his subsequent refusal to comply with groupโs majority vote to share it with the groupโs appointee.
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
The original group email was created by @RdeMaistre, and he then shared its password with EdgeOfTheLeaf who was the website admin at the time. Later Rodolphe found himself locked out, and then learned it was Billy who changed not only the password but also the recovery email. https://t.co/pMr5dSqAd0
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
Billy then told Rodolphe a ridiculous story how EdgeOfTheLeaf deleted his Twitter account because of either getting cancer or fearing that he has compromised his anonymity. Surprisingly, Edge didnโt bother telling anyone else this or any other story before disappearing.
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
We found out about all this when @Rossana38510044 challenged Billy for his dictatorial behavior over access to journalists & filmmakers, but instead of agreeing to restore group access to email Billy insulted Rossana and then locked her and 3 more members out of the group.
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
That was on October 2, and a multi-day crisis ensued where several members tried to convince Billy to share group email access but to no avail. The group then held a formal vote to compel Billy to share email access with at least me but he still refused. https://t.co/Y3XNmvh06S
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
At that point we had no other choice but to create a new email and website, as Billy controlled both at the time. However, revealing his true terrorist nature, he threatened to engage in a slanderous smear campaign against me if we chose to make the new website and email public: https://t.co/hvEY3AfxiK
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
The group agreed that we do not negotiate with terrorists, and after we set up the new email and constructed the website, we made the announcement of distancing from Billy and his website.
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
Changing what DRASTIC stands for was proposed *after* the decision to split off from Billy, and was put to a vote in the original DRASTIC group, to which we were added back once Billy was removed. https://t.co/lksMdfRVUm
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
As Andre and WhereIsHuangYanling left the group before that vote, 21 members remained, so 13 votes for and 1 abstention were enough to pass the proposal. https://t.co/P2CovhOwEx
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
In closing, we never wanted to make this dirty laundry public, but with Billyโs misinformation campaign trying to portray the split as a result of disagreement on the name change we had to set the record straight. And no, rebranding was not my idea, although I fully support it.
@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin
Also, I am not trying to become โthe leader of DRASTICโ or portray myself as some sort of โcoordinatorโ โ DRASTIC is and will remain decentralized and fully democratic. But I *will* always stand up to bullying, as that is something I simply cannot tolerate.

@TheLancet @emilyakopp It is sorrowful to see FOIAs reveal virologist after virologist privately debating a lab #OriginOfCovid while publicly condemning any suggestion of an unnatural origin as a conspiracy theory. Why can't we admit that even the most talented & charming scientists can make mistakes?
@Ayjchan - Alina Chan
@TheLancet @emilyakopp This is where one esteemed infectious diseases expert (also recently passed away) says, in an email, that being a brilliant and charming scientist does not rule out the possibility of an accidental infection in the lab.
@Ayjchan - Alina Chan
Saying that it's plausible an outbreak started because of a lab accident says nothing about that scientist's humanity, virtue or intelligence. It also does not necessarily mean that the biosafety levels in the lab had to be subpar. SARS1 escaped from a top BSL4 lab before.
@Ayjchan - Alina Chan

1/x Fort Detrick History Mr. Patrick, one of the chief scientists at the Army Biological Warfare Laboratories at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Md., held five classified US patents for the process of weaponizing anthrax. http://archive.boston.com/bostonglobe/obituaries/articles/2010/10/06/william_patrick_authority_on_biological_warfare_at_84/โฆ
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
2/x Under Mr. Patrickโs direction, scientists at Fort Detrick developed a tularemia agent that, if disseminated by airplane, could cause casualties & sickness over 1000s miยฒ. In a 10,000 miยฒ range, it had 90% casualty rate & 50% fatality rate
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
3/x His team explored Q fever, plague, & Venezuelan equine encephalitis, testing more than 20 anthrax strains to discern most lethal variety. Fort Detrick scientists used aerosol spray systems inside fountain pens, walking sticks, light bulbs, & even in 1953 Mercury exhaust pipes
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
4/x After retiring in 1986, Mr. Patrick remained one of the worldโs foremost specialists on biological warfare & was a consultant to the CIA, FBI, & US military. He debriefed Soviet defector Ken Alibek, the deputy chief of the Soviet biowarfare program https://www.the-scientist.com/news/ken-alibek-for-the-biodefense-56039
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
5/x Back in Time In 1949 the Army created a small team of chemists at "Camp Detrick" called Special Operations Division. Its assignment was to find military uses for toxic bacteria. The coercive use of toxins was a new field, which fascinated Allen Dulles, later head of the CIA
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
6/x More on Dulles here: https://www.motherjones.com/media/2015/10/book-review-devils-chessboard-david-talbot/ and https://whowhatwhy.org/2017/07/26/devils-chessboard-allen-dulles-cia-rise-american-secret-government/
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
7/x Gottlieb In 1951, Dulles hired a chemist to oversee a systematic search for key to mind control: Sidney Gottlieb, a 33-year-old Jew who limped & stuttered, meditated, lived in a remote cabin without running water & rose before dawn to milk his goats. https://www.npr.org/2019/09/09/758989641/the-cias-secret-quest-for-mind-control-torture-lsd-and-a-poisoner-in-chief
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
8/x Gottlieb wanted to use Detrickโs assets to propel his mind control project to new heights. The CIA acquired the knowledge, skill, & facilities of the Army to develop biological weapons suited for CIA use. Gottlieb created a hidden CIA enclave inside Camp Detrick.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
9/x Gottlieb searched relentlessly for a way to destroy human minds so new ones could be implanted in their place. He tested an astonishing variety of drug combinations (LSD was one of them) often combined with electroshock & sensory deprivation (MKULTRA) madscientistblog.ca/mad-scientist-โฆ
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
10/x In the US, his victims were unwitting subjects at jails & hospitals. In Europe and East Asia, Gottliebโs victims were prisoners in secret detention centers. These were the most gruesome experiments the U.S. government ever conducted on human beings. https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKgottlieb.htm
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
11/ x Fort Detrick Experiments 7 prisoners in Lexington were given multiple doses of LSD for 77 days straight! Captured North Koreans were given depressant drugs, then potent stimulants & exposed to intense heat & electroshock while they were in the weakened state of transition
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
12/ x These experiments destroyed many minds & caused an unknown number of deaths. Many of the potions, pills & aerosols administered to victims were created at Fort Detrick. One of the most well-known victims of Gottlieb's experiments was Frank Olson: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/sep/06/from-mind-control-to-murder-how-a-deadly-fall-revealed-the-cias-darkest-secrets
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
13/ x A decade of intense experiments taught Gottlieb ways to destroy a human mind. Fort Detrick, as it was renamed in 1956, remained Gottliebโs chemical base. After the end of MK-ULTRA, he used it to develop and store the CIAโs arsenal of poisons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Gottlieb
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
14/ x Freezer In his freezers he kept biological agents that could cause diseases including smallpox, tuberculosis & anthrax as well as organic toxins, including snake venom & paralytic shellfish poison. He developed poisons intended to kill Fidel Castro & Congo's Patrice Lumumba
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
15/ x Fort Detrick Reborn! Hallelujah! The US officially abandoned its biological weapons programme in 1969, but Fort Detrick has continued "defensive research" into deadly pathogens including Ebola virus, the plague & poisons like Ricin. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/virus-biological-us-army-weapons-fort-detrick-leak-ebola-anthrax-smallpox-ricin-a9042641.html
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
16/ x Anthrax at Fort Detrick Bruce Ivins, was a senior biological weapons researcher at Fort Detrick. He killed himself in 2008, shortly before the FBI was planning to charge him with the 2001 anthrax attacks. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93364738
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
17/ x It is ironic that the culprit was a top government anthrax expert: Since 2001, US built many labs, spent over $62 billion, & hired an army of researchers to prevent a 2nd bioterror attack. In effect, devoting 20 years to training & equipping hundreds of people like Ivins!

1. The 9 Hong Kong Monkeys were killed by Melioidosis! "B. pseudomallei can remain latent in the human body for up to 29 years until it is reactivated during human immunosuppression or stress response" The Wikipedia Article is Good https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melioidosis
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
3. Melioidosis & Biowarfare There has been Interest in melioidosis because it has the potential to be developed as a bio-weapon. Another similar bacteria, Burkholderia mallei was used by Germans in WW I to infect livestock shipped to Allied countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burkholderia_mallei
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
4. B. Mallei Use (1) Deliberate infection of human POWs & animals using B. mallei were carried out in China by the Japanese during World War II. The USSR reportedly used B. mallei during the SovietโAfghan War in 1982 and 1984.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
5. B. Mallei Use (2) B. pseudomallei, like B. mallei, was studied by both the US & the USSR as a potential biological warfare agent Other countries such as Iran, Iraq, North Korea, and Syria may have investigated the properties of B. pseudomallei for biological weapons.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
6. B. Mallei Use (3) If anyone so wishes, the bacteria is readily available in the environment in certain countries at 10cm or lower. It can also be aerosolized & transmitted via inhalation. The actual risk of the deliberate release of B. pseudomallei or B. mallei is unknown

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
8. From Meliodosis to Glanders B.pseudomallei evolved via zoonotic passaging (not lab passaging ;) in animals to become B.mallei, the causative agent of Glanders: B.mallei https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burkholderia_mallei Glanders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glanders
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
9. B. Mallei (Glanders) Potential as a biological weapon B.mallei & B. pseudomallei have a history as potential biological warfare agents. Little detail s known about these experiments. Research on B. mallei may only be done in BSL3 facilities in the US & internationally.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
10. Some Information from Israel "These pathogens have many characteristics that make them nearly โperfectโ agents for biological terrorism" "B.mallei & B.pseudomallei as bioterrorism agents" 1CBRN, Israel Defense Forces Medical Corps,Israel. https://www.ima.org.il/FilesUploadPublic/IMAJ/0/46/23087.pdf
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
11. Human glanders (1) "if acquired via inhalational route, produces fever, ulcerative necrosis of upper & lower respiratory tract with purulent nasal discharge, extensive pneumonia, cervical or mediastinal lymphadenopathy, & pustular skin lesions (which may resemble smallpox)"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
12. Human Glanders (2) Prostration, disproportionate to the clinical signs, is a classic finding. Septicemia invariably follows with involvement of various internal organs, as in melioidosis. Without treatment, death occurs within 10 days. https://www.ima.org.il/FilesUploadPublic/IMAJ/0/46/23087.pdf
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
13. Detection B. pseudomallei grows well on standard culture media, but special media such as modified Ashdown agar are needed for isolation from non-sterile sites, especially sputum B. mallei is more fastidious but improved growth can be achieved with specialized media as well
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
14. Clinical samples Processing of clinical samples should be done in a BSL2 lab, while clinical isolates require BSL3. B. pseudomallei has several basic phenotypic features that may raise suspicion. B. mallei is non-distinct & may be extremely difficult to diagnose See image
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
15. Curious about Israeli Research? (into the use of B. Mallei & B. Pseudomallei as Bioweapons) Contact Dr. J. Gilad at his Microbiology Laboratory: Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center: 6 Weizmann Street, Tel Aviv 64239, Israel. Phone: (972) 5781-25093 email: giladko@014.net.il

16. Update ๐ When he was called, the Sourasky Medical Center receptionsist informed us that Dr. J. Gilad is not currently avaialble at his lab in Tel Aviv as he has been on holiday in Hong Kong since early October.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
17. US Lab Leak (1) In March 2000, one of the 1st cases since the 1940s of Glanders in the US occurred in a young microbiologist working at USAMRIID. He had been working with B. mallei for 2 years but he did not always wear gloves while conducting his research! @BiosafetyNow
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@BiosafetyNow 18. US Lab Leak (2) He experienced lymph node enlargement & a 10 day fever, then fatigue, rigors, night sweats & loss of weight The next month, his symptoms seemed to disappear after treatment with clarithromycin but after the medication was stopped, the symptoms reappeared.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@BiosafetyNow 19. US Lab Leak (3) 1. The bacterium was eventually identified as B. mallei. 2. After a 6 month course of antibiotics (imipenem & doxycycline) the foolhardy researcher took a year to fully recover. 3. A cut or skin abrasion is not absolutely necessary to contract the disease.

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
23. Sugar Cubes from Berlin German secret agent, Herman Wuppermann, travelled by U-boat from Croatia to Spain then by steamship to Argentina "He did not establish his own culture lab in Buenos Aires, and was dependent on replenishment with microbes in sugar cubes from Berlin"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
24. Sugar Cube (1) The curator of a police museum in Norway discovered in his archive collection a glass bottle containing 2 irregularly shaped sugar lumps. A small hole had been bored into each of the lumps & a glass capillary tube, sealed at its tip, was embedded in one lump.

New theory: An infectious clone with a Ra4991-like backbone and a RBD from a hidden clade of the Mojiang mine could be a SARS-CoV-2 ancestor. Note: This theory does not exclude subsequent GoF
@franciscodeasis - Francisco de Asis
WIV finally conceded on clade 7896: they acknowledged collecting them in the Mojiang mine and they published the complete genomes. Almost identical viruses (there is no diversity in the Mojiang mine, quite the opposite of that in Jinning).

@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 19. Bernd Kaina (1) 1. There is a remarkable identity on amino acid & nucleotide level in & around the FCS between SARS-CoV-2 & a MERS-CoV 2. This supports the hypothesis that the PCS/furin cleavage site was gained by a recombination event(s) involving these virus sequences. https://t.co/KRr9rn9SWK
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 20. Bernd Kaina (2) 3. When cells in culture were coinfected with the predecessor of SARS-CoV-2 and another virus strain that contains the PCS/furin cleavage site, the sequence was transferred to the predecessor virus as a result of a recombination event.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 21. Bernd Kaina (3) 4. Interestingly, MERS-CoV contains a furin-specific cleavage site, which is very similar to the one found in SARS-CoV-2. As outlined above, there are 6 identical amino acids between position 678 and 687 in SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 22. Bernd Kaina (4) 5. Gain of function through the PCS could have happened unintentionally, e.g. after introducing different viruses into a cell to see whether they complement each other functionally (โin transโ), or purposefully in the context of gain-of-function experiments.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 23. Bernd Kaina (5) 6. Propagation of the progenitor of SARS-CoV-2 (e.g. RaTG13) together with a MERS-CoV is likely to lead to the selection of a virus that gains functions of both viruses, thus increasing its infection rate in vitro.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 24. Bernd Kaina (6) 7. The cells used were equipped with the ACE2 receptor. If these cells also harbored the neuropilin-1 membran protein, selection for a virus showing an even higher virus titer upon propagation in vitro is conceivable.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 25. Bernd Kaina (7) 8. It should be noted that cell lines harboring ACE2 together with NRP1 and other desired properties can be generated by routine techniques (transient or stable transfection, lentivirus transduction) and have actually been used for experimental purposes.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 26. Summary (1) The lab hypothesis does not posit that SARS-CoV-2 was genetically engineered on purpose. The hypothesis tates that SARS-CoV-2 is an unintended byproduct of gain-of-function & cotransfection experiments using human cell lines in vitro. https://t.co/80kB3HYevX

"Vicious Spies & Killers under the Mask of Academic Physicians." Today, we demand the arrest of a group of saboteur-doctors. This terrorist group, uncovered some time ago by our investigators , had as their goal shortening the lives of human beings by means of medical sabotage.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Investigation established that this terrorist group, exploiting their position as doctors & abusing the trust of politicians, deliberately & viciously undermined the health of the public by undertaking dangerous gain of function experiments in laboratories in both China & the USA
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
This "research" led to the intentional or mistaken leak of a deadly new virus, SARS-COV-2. When these modern Frankensteins realised the extent of their folly, did they repent and confess? No! Instead, they collaborated together to kill the public with bad & incorrect treatments!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Covering themselves with the noble and merciful calling of physicians, men of science, these fiends and killers dishonoured the holy banner of science. Having taken the path of monstrous crimes, they defiled the honour of scientists.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Among the victims of this band of inhuman beasts were countless innocents worldwide. The criminals intentionally concealed their dangerous work on increasing the pathogenicity & virulence of harmless bat coronaviruses, which they had obtained secretly from caves in rural China.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
When the terrible pandemic spread, they prescribed inadvisable treatments and thus killed many citizens. Killer doctors, by incorrect use of very powerful medicines and prescription of harmful regimens, shortened the life of many of our poor elderly, leading to their deaths.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
The majority of the participants of the terrorist group were involved with American scientific organisations such as BARDA, DARPA, PREDICT and DTRA. They were recruited by American intelligence and international bourgeois-nationalist charity organization called "EcoHealthโ.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
The filthy face of this spy organization, covering up their vicious actions under the mask of charity, is now completely revealed, thanks to the tireless work of our investigators.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Unmasking the gang of poisoner-doctors has struck a deadly blow against the international virologistsโ organization and their puppets! Now all can see what sort of philanthropists and "friends of peace" hid beneath the sign-board of "Ecohealthโ
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Other participants in the terrorist group (Daszak, Epstein, Olival, Karesh, Kadlec, Franz) were discovered, as has been presently determined, to have been long-time agents of US intelligence, serving it for many years, carrying out its most criminal & sordid tasks in China.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Of course, the bigwigs of the USA and their Chinese junior partners know that to achieve domination over other nations by peaceful means is impossible.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐

โThe genomic origin of the strain that infected patient zero was a Chinese bat virus that underwent extensive pre-adaptation to humans, including continual transmissibility.. โThe open question is how, where, and when such exceptional genomic pre-adaptation took placeโ
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
One possibility is that a wild-type virus was 1st propagated repeatedly in human tissue cultures & the resulting spontaneously upgraded virus was then used to experimentally infect monkeys or ferretsโone of which then accidentally infected staff in the lab https://www.jns.org/opinion/where-did-covid-19-really-come-from/

1/29 In September 2021, we released DEFUSE with the original rejection letter, plus our 2-pager that detailed the reasons why DEFUSE was turned down: Potential GoF/DURC work, no risk mitigation plan, no ESLI plan, all with vague deployment in the wild. https://assets.ctfassets.net/syq3snmxclc9/5OjsrkkXHfuHps6Lek1MO0/5e7a0d86d5d67e8d153555400d9dcd17/defuse-project-rejection-by-darpa.pdf
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
2/29 @PeterDaszak spent the following 3 years pretending that this was all lies, that the grant was denied just because he asked for too much money, calling DRASTIC conspiracy theorists. Today's๐ฅbipartisan๐ฅ @COVIDSelect report ๐ฏ% confirms what we explained back in Sep 2021.
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
3/29 That bipartisan report also includes many examples of Daszak's lies and obfuscations. https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12.04.2024-SSCP-FINAL-REPORT.pdf But I'd like to retweet below a thread I published exactly a year ago, based on a source who provided many more details about the rejection. @emilyakopp
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
4/29 The source insisted on the issue of lack of controlled experimental environment in part 2 of the DEFUSE proposal, something I disclosed in my thread one year ago. This is confirmed in the report. ๐๐ป You first learnt about it thanks to DRASTIC. ๐๐ป You got lies from Daszak.
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
5/29 That source also described how Daszak was the frontman for a DTRA BTRP game (Defense Thread Reduction Agency, Biological Thread Reduction Program). And how he got totally out of his depth with DEFUSE. Read it again below. @DrJBhattacharya @BiosafetyNow @JohnRatcliffe ๐งต๐๐ป
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
6/29 DEFUSE was Daszak's proposal for the PREEMPT program launched by DARPA. The director of DARPAโs Biological Technologies Office (BTO) in 2018 was Dr Bradley Ringeisen. He was quite new to the job, having joined in Dec 2016 as deputy director of the BTO.
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
7/29 He was previously a science and technology manager at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The problem is that Brad was a physicist by training, who eventually started moving towards biological engineering (cell printing, etc).
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
8/29 Let's also remember that DARPA is not at all as risk-averse as the NIH. It is quite happy to take a punt of some radical new technology that can benefit the warfighter. In 2018, PREDICT grants were getting close to maturity. Peter Daszak needed to find stable new funding.
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
9/29 At the same time, PREEMPT was the perfect way for Daszak to keep in touch with the ambitious GoF / synthetic biology work China was embarking on, by repackaging some of it. That work was getting too hot for USAID/NIH. But Peter reasoned it would be fine for DARPA.
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
10/29 Also, to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the interest was all about keeping an eye on what the Chinese were sampling and doing in their labs, if only (big if) they could be trusted to share the data. Quoting again from an excellent Eban's article:
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
11/29 For those who have forgotten: DTRA rolls out the DoD Cooperative Threat Reduction Program (CTR), of which the Biological Threat Reduction Program is of importance here. David Franz, advisor to EcoHealth Alliance, is a major supporter of the BTR. https://armscontrolcenter.org/fact-sheet-the-nunn-lugar-cooperative-threat-reduction-program-2/
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
12/29 Franz is a former Commander of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). He is from quite a different area, shaped by the experience of Iraq and the Soviet Union (but Gigi Gronvall is happily taking up the baton).
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
13/29 Now, the Program Manager for PREEMPT was James Gimlett. James seemed supportive, just like the deputy CTO of DARPA (Ringeisen).
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
14/29 Gimlett came out of the DSO at DARPA. The DSO is the Defense Sciences Office and plays a key role in the story. But what matters here is that Gimlett's background is in physics, not biology, just as with Ringeisen.
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
15/29 So, by now, you must see it coming: You have physicists managing the PREEMPT program, looking into bioengineering projects along the lines of physical system problems. It's not necessarily wrong at all (far from that), but the issue is that some aspects may go missing.
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
16/29 Initially, it all looked perfect for Peter. Gimlett holds his hand (as the PM does on a DARPA proposal) and they come up with an ambitious $14 million bio-engineering project. that repackages existing directions of research in China (except for the bat cave intervention).
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
17/29 There was a bit of a hiccup though when they put the proposal through, missing the deadline by 30 minutes (27 Mar 2018). But Peter saved the day and then had a good go at EcoHealth staff for their rather sloppy work (29 Mar). (from @KatherineEban https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/03/the-virus-hunting-nonprofit-at-the-center-of-the-lab-leak-controversy)
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
18/29 But as with any DARPA proposal with a line over $1 million, approval requires a review. The PM can't just sign it off. And that's where it all blew up. https://www.darpa.mil/attachments/DARPAGuideBAARA.pdf
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
19/29 The review was done by a Review Team made of three reviewers who decide selectable/not-selectable, backed by: - the Scientific Review Official (SRO), - some Subject Matter Experts (if required) This included people with a broader experience in biological problems.
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
20/29 The Review Team eventually shot it down, with in the end one of the 3 reviewers going for non-selectable. Some names (for the full Review Team): - Renee Wegrzyn, now at the recently created ARPA-H (the DARPA for civilian health applications), - Eric Van Gieson.
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
21/29 They shot it down because they had no choice. It was bad. There was some likely GoF work, but no proper 'Ethical, Legal and Social Issues' (ELSI) considerations, no DURC mitigation plan,
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
22/29 .. no proper risk management either. For instance, there was no proper physical containment for step 2 (intervention in a bat cave), https://drasticresearch.org/2021/09/21/the-defuse-project-documents/
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
23/29 .. which was a huge no-no just on the back of the recent gene-drive controversy that hit DARPA:
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
24/29 Peter went into the wall, being rather clueless as to these aspects (ethics and risk management). It ended up in a fight, with one reviewers going 'not selectable'. Gimlett still decided it was overall selectable, ignoring that one reviewer, but could not recommend it:
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
25/29 Note the door left ajar in the very wording of the rejection letter: ๐๐ป 'not currently recommending', ๐๐ป 'potentially fundable should additional funding become available' (!!?)
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
26/29 Look also at the very last sentence: ๐๐ป 'if selected for funding, an appropriate DURC risk mitigation plan should be incorporated into contracting' !!? Well, that's the SRO voice, being afraid that someone may revive that proposal and preemptively setting conditions.
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
27/29 Gimlett kicked it down the road, with his 'selectable not recommendable'. Then Peter and his backers did not give up; they kept pushing. But eventually, it was killed, to the great relief of some. Bless them. Final Score: Biology: 1 Daszak: 0 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363729325_DRASTIC_-_An_Analysis_of_Project_DEFUSE
@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf
28/29 Last, let me remind everybody that we are still missing some key DEFUSE documents, which can be destroyed by June 2024 as they need to be kept for 6 years. If nothing is done, they may get destroyed. @COVIDSelect @JamieMetzl @dasher8090 @RandPaul

1/4 In http://virological.org/t/tackling-rumors-of-a-suspicious-origin-of-ncov2019/384โฆ William Gallagher updates his earlier (Feb 7) analysis of the differences between RaTG13 & SARS-Cov-2 specifically the RRAR furin cleavage site. Let's examine his claims which support his view that SARS-CoV-2 was not created in a lab.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
2/4 His first claim: "PRRA is unusual sequence to introduce to generate a furin site, others among coronaviruses like MHV A59 are so much better. Underlying code CCTCGGCGGGCA introduces unnecessarily G &C rich region... Not likely scenarios for something a gene jockey would do."
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
3/4 His second claim: "Then one looks at the actual RNA alignment. The โinsertโ is actually not in frame, but CTCCTCGGCGGG, or -2 out of frame. Again, who does that?
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
4/4 His third claim: "But the PROOF lies in looking at the 288 alignable nucleotides on either side of the โinsertโ. RNA is not at all identical, but 6.6% different โ 19 mutations out of 288. All 19 are mutations in the wobble base of their respective codons.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
5/ ? His 4th claim: "wobble base mutagenesis rate of 0.95% per decade permits estimated TMRCA of the 2 sequences nCoV2019 & RaTG13 of 69.5 yrs ago (later updated to 38.5 yrs due to maths errors) He concludes: "Far too long a time for Bat RaTG13 to be proximal source"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
6/ ? He concludes: "furin cleavage signals are present in other coronavirus at exactly that point in S1/S2 boundary region, it only LOOKS unusual against backdrop of SARS. PRRA sequence has been conserved in nCoV2019 from a long ago ancestor virus & is not of suspicious origin"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
7/? on May 3rd he updated analysis with claim to have discovered RRAR furin cleavage site in SARS-CoV-2 must have come from bat virus HKU9: "10 of 12 nucleotides in RRAR insert identical to sequence in spike protein gene of Bat Cov HKU9 from Rousettus bat (Guangdong) 2011"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
8/ ? He points out: โInsertโ is CT CCTCGGCGGG, the last 10 being identical to HKU9 sequence. He admits that "first CT of putative insert is still orphan, but there is a relevant possible source for the rest, albeit out of frame."
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
9/ ? sequence context has other similarities, i.e โcagacโ upstream & a โcโ downstream of โinsertโ: HKU9 gcatttgta caga------cctcggcgggc ctctgt CoV-2 tatcagact cagac ttgct cctcggcgggc acgtagt Form above, he asserts "a Lock": 14 of 19 identical nucleotides in 2 runs with 1 gap.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
10/ ? From above, despite evident "copy choice errors", he claims it cannot be coincidence & can best be explained by: "evolution of the site since the mixed infection, over a period of years." Having established the above (to a certain extent) he indulges in bizarre speculation
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
11/ ? Gallagher's speculations: 1. source of virus for human infection could be mixed bat guano from cave with mixed populations. 2. He admits that could occur in bats, intermediate animals or humans. So far his speculations seem plausible but then he makes a bizarre claim:
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
12/ ? 3. Human in incubation with SARS-CoV-2 could hop a max speed train from Kunming to Wuhan 7 hours later last fall. 4. Man infected in Yunnan, does not spread it there, but goes to Wuhan, gets ill, & spreads it asymptomatically to another person, initiating pandemic there
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
13/ ? 5. "The initial outbreak occurs short distance from Wuhan train station for good reason, that is where it arrived" Concluding that: "accidental mixed bat infection & infection of a human by bush meat or bat guano + train to Wuhan are most likely events leading to pandemic"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
14/ ? Problems with Gallagher's arguments and claims: 1. Geographical: HKU9 CoV was found in Guangdong but "patient zero" travels from Yunnan to Wuhan. How did HKU9 from RF macrobats get from Guandong to Yunnan to infect RA Microbats with RaTG13?
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
15/ ? 2. Timing of infection Extremely unlikely that "patient zero" (allegedly only one infected from bat shit or meat) didn't infect others in Kunming & became asymptomatically contagious just after getting off train in Wuhan. Sorry, but this is absurd, what was Bill smoking?
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
16/ ? Trust China? 3. Bill dismisses pangolin hypothesis "no animal reservoir for virus found so far, not for lack of the Chinese looking, who are more motivated to understand genesis than anyone" Proven that CCDC covered up environmental samples CCP monitors published research
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
17/? Tian Junhua Gallagher does not seem to be aware of documented cases of infection of bat researchers without proper PPE via bat guano & scratches since 2004 including Tian Junhua from WCDC in Wuhan, which is a far more likely explanation for sequence elucidated in his claims
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
18 /? Nature versus Lab He claims "wobble base mutagenesis" (WBM) over time in otherwise constant & conserved amino acid sequence indicate a TMRCA of 37 yrs ago for divergence between RaTG13 & SARSCov2 WBM could also occur over shorter time scale during serial passage in a Lab
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
19/ ? Nature versus Lab (2) In fact, lab leak of mutated virus (via repeated serial passage to attenuate or make it more pathogenic) also can explain: 1. PRRA is an unusual sequence to insert to generate a furin site 2. CCTCGGCGGGCA introduces an unnecessarily G and C rich region
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
20/ ? (Nature versus Lab (3) 3. RNA alignment: โinsertโ is actually not in frame, but CTCCTCGGCGGG, or -2 out of frame. Gallagher claims a "gene jockey" would not do this or points 1 & 2 above (19) BUT, precisely these features can occur via random mutations during serial passage
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
21/ ? (Nature versus Lab (4) SARS-COV-2 Furin cleavage site is a "looped out peptide sequence" BUT in other Coronaviruses with furin cleavage sites, there is not a strict alignment with neighbouring, more constant, peptide regions, which supports a serial passage hypothesis.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
22/ ? (Stuttering Palindromes) Palindromes like CAGAC, TGAGT, CAGAT often precede polymorphism or copy-choice recombinations among Bat CoVs, acting as "speed bumps" for the RNA polymerase complex, causing stuttering or loss. This happens equally during serial passage in a Lab.

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
๐งตMy 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.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
2โฃ He orchestrated a โCoalition of Supportโ 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).
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
3โฃ Daszak hired the Kyle House Group (KHG) to lobby against NDAA defunding amendments, with KHGโs Porter joining meetings like one on August 4, 2023, with Rep. Adam Smithโs staff to kill Sen. Joni Ernstโs provisions (Part 7, p.52).
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
4โฃ๐จPerjury 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).
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
5โฃ Additionally, Daszak reported DRASTIC investigators to the FBI as โQAnon conspiracistsโ (May 21, 2020, FBI Daszak.pdf, p.39-40), attempting to discredit their probes into WIVโs role. These moves show a calculated effort to obstruct investigations and protect EHAโs funding.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
6โฃ GoF Denials & Oversight Failures (Part 9, p.68; Part 10, p.76) Daszak claimed NIHโs GoF pause (2014-2017) was irrelevant to WIVโs work, implying compliance with Chinese laws, despite Baricโs 2015 concerns & 2018 warning against wildtype SARS-CoV work without U.S. registration
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
7โฃ Oversight Failures The above, coupled with WIV ignoring Baricโs GoF restrictions, exposes EHAโs lax oversight & complicity in risky research. His April 2015 note to check WIVโs GoF with Baric & WIV selling Baricโs mice, hints at deeper WIV misconduct which PD didn't address.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
8โฃ DEFUSE and DARPA Ties (Part 1, p.4-8) Daszak and Shi Zhengliโs Jun 2017 DARPA/NIAID meetings to shape PREEMPT (p.4, 7) reveal the deep influence of EHA on US funding priorities. Secondly, Shiโs presence raises red flags about Chinese access to sensitive programs.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
9โฃ 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 EHAโs incompetence, potentially costing approval. https://draftable.com/compare/etsiSgBltbIi
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@USRightToKnow ๐ Daszakโs 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.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@USRightToKnow 1โฃ1โฃ WIV Data Access Issues (Part 10, p.80) EHAโs lack of access to WIVโs bat CoV database (Mar 2018, DEFUSE proposal) and Zhengliโs refusal to share without approval (Part 10, p.79) confirm EHAโs limited control over WIVโs data, contradicting PD's claims of transparency.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@USRightToKnow 1โฃ2โฃ 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.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@USRightToKnow 1โฃ3โฃ Chinese Connections (Part 10, p.81) Daszakโs 2015 meeting with Heimowitz, whose grandmother founded the US Communist Party & who was โwell-connected in all Chinese Government Activities,โ raises some questions about EHAโs ties to Chinese networks and WIV collaboration.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@USRightToKnow 1โฃ4โฃ 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 EHAโs ongoing efforts to control sensitive data, potentially linked to lab-leak-related sequences.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@USRightToKnow 1โฃ5โฃTemporary Conclusion You, reader, are a juror in truthโs court, and I believe you will also conclude that DRASTICโs 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!

1. The Market Map Once upon a time some questions were asked (35-40) https://x.com/BillyBostickson/status/1279110406191976448 Emails were sent asking for details Requests were made BUT George Gao refused to give specific details about the positive environmental samples from the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan.

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐

4. The Map (via @TheSeeker268) but now we have, after waiting 10 months, a little map that was hidden from us by the Chinese CDC, and strangely enough by the American CDC and the WHO. Here is the story of a 10 month old map https://archive.is/SmhkZ Read it carefully

(remember they also published the November 17th early patient leak) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Morning_Post What can the map tell us about early cases and the market?

8. Another Question Using a FOIA request in the US, the Post also obtained a separate blurred map of the market held by the WHO & the US CDC. "there are areas where markings by investigators differ between the versions" Note small print: Not for Further Distribution Why Not? https://t.co/MNYR4nfBBv
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
9. A polite interpretation? "While the Postโs freedom of information request showed the WHO & the US CDC had a floor plan of the market by late January, it was not clear if the Chinese CDC plan obtained by the Post with different markings was shared with those health bodies"

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
17. Gao Knew? Gao realised after analysis of the positive environmental samples where SARS-COV-2 had come from. It would have been clear from the products sold on stalls in the western area of the market. That information was never made public. Since then silence & cover up.

7/x Gottlieb In 1951, Dulles hired a chemist to oversee a systematic search for key to mind control: Sidney Gottlieb, a 33-year-old Jew who limped & stuttered, meditated, lived in a remote cabin without running water & rose before dawn to milk his goats. https://www.npr.org/2019/09/09/758989641/the-cias-secret-quest-for-mind-control-torture-lsd-and-a-poisoner-in-chief
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
8/x Gottlieb wanted to use Detrickโs assets to propel his mind control project to new heights. The CIA acquired the knowledge, skill, & facilities of the Army to develop biological weapons suited for CIA use. Gottlieb created a hidden CIA enclave inside Camp Detrick.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
9/x Gottlieb searched relentlessly for a way to destroy human minds so new ones could be implanted in their place. He tested an astonishing variety of drug combinations (LSD was one of them) often combined with electroshock & sensory deprivation (MKULTRA) madscientistblog.ca/mad-scientist-โฆ
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
10/x In the US, his victims were unwitting subjects at jails & hospitals. In Europe and East Asia, Gottliebโs victims were prisoners in secret detention centers. These were the most gruesome experiments the U.S. government ever conducted on human beings. https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKgottlieb.htm

11/ x Fort Detrick Experiments 7 prisoners in Lexington were given multiple doses of LSD for 77 days straight! Captured North Koreans were given depressant drugs, then potent stimulants & exposed to intense heat & electroshock while they were in the weakened state of transition
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
12/ x These experiments destroyed many minds & caused an unknown number of deaths. Many of the potions, pills & aerosols administered to victims were created at Fort Detrick. One of the most well-known victims of Gottlieb's experiments was Frank Olson: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/sep/06/from-mind-control-to-murder-how-a-deadly-fall-revealed-the-cias-darkest-secrets

13/ x A decade of intense experiments taught Gottlieb ways to destroy a human mind. Fort Detrick, as it was renamed in 1956, remained Gottliebโs chemical base. After the end of MK-ULTRA, he used it to develop and store the CIAโs arsenal of poisons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Gottlieb

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
13. Detection B. pseudomallei grows well on standard culture media, but special media such as modified Ashdown agar are needed for isolation from non-sterile sites, especially sputum B. mallei is more fastidious but improved growth can be achieved with specialized media as well
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
14. Clinical samples Processing of clinical samples should be done in a BSL2 lab, while clinical isolates require BSL3. B. pseudomallei has several basic phenotypic features that may raise suspicion. B. mallei is non-distinct & may be extremely difficult to diagnose See image

@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 13. How does all this relate to SARS-COV-2? It is not yet known how SARS-COV-2 acquired its FCS. This thread shows that SC-2 may have acquired its FCS via cell culture contamination involving GX Pangolin MERS Cov isolates (MjHKU4r-CoV-1) stored & experimented on at WIV in 2019.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 14. Why is MjHKU4r-CoV-1 special? 1. FCS are moreย common in MERS Covs but inย the HKU4 group, noย such FCS exists. 2. Substitution of KQQR motif at the S1/S2 junctionย in the bat HKU4 to the RQQR found inย MjHKU4r-CoV-1 results in the generationย of a minimal consensus FCS (RXXR)!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 15. Why is MjHKU4r-CoV-1 special? (2) 3. MjHKU4r-CoV-1 Spike is processedย by furin 4. FCS enhances viral entry into human cells by 2โ3 ordersย of magnitude compared to bat HKU4 5. Thus, MjHKU4r-CoV-1 Spike has acquired a functioning FCSย that conferentry into human cells

A Logical Chain & Evidence have now been found What remains is the question of the exact pathway and experiments that that led to the acquisition of an FCS in Sars-COV-2 in the laboratories of the WIV. No wonder they refused to share their lab notebooks!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 18. A possible pathway (now more likely) For that, see Bernd Kaina's Paper: "On the Origin of SARS-CoV-2: Did Cell Culture Experiments Lead to Increased Virulence of the Progenitor Virus for Humans?" https://iv.iiarjournals.org/content/35/3/1313
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 19. Bernd Kaina (1) 1. There is a remarkable identity on amino acid & nucleotide level in & around the FCS between SARS-CoV-2 & a MERS-CoV 2. This supports the hypothesis that the PCS/furin cleavage site was gained by a recombination event(s) involving these virus sequences. https://t.co/KRr9rn9SWK
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 20. Bernd Kaina (2) 3. When cells in culture were coinfected with the predecessor of SARS-CoV-2 and another virus strain that contains the PCS/furin cleavage site, the sequence was transferred to the predecessor virus as a result of a recombination event.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 21. Bernd Kaina (3) 4. Interestingly, MERS-CoV contains a furin-specific cleavage site, which is very similar to the one found in SARS-CoV-2. As outlined above, there are 6 identical amino acids between position 678 and 687 in SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 22. Bernd Kaina (4) 5. Gain of function through the PCS could have happened unintentionally, e.g. after introducing different viruses into a cell to see whether they complement each other functionally (โin transโ), or purposefully in the context of gain-of-function experiments.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 23. Bernd Kaina (5) 6. Propagation of the progenitor of SARS-CoV-2 (e.g. RaTG13) together with a MERS-CoV is likely to lead to the selection of a virus that gains functions of both viruses, thus increasing its infection rate in vitro.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 24. Bernd Kaina (6) 7. The cells used were equipped with the ACE2 receptor. If these cells also harbored the neuropilin-1 membran protein, selection for a virus showing an even higher virus titer upon propagation in vitro is conceivable.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 25. Bernd Kaina (7) 8. It should be noted that cell lines harboring ACE2 together with NRP1 and other desired properties can be generated by routine techniques (transient or stable transfection, lentivirus transduction) and have actually been used for experimental purposes.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 26. Summary (1) The lab hypothesis does not posit that SARS-CoV-2 was genetically engineered on purpose. The hypothesis tates that SARS-CoV-2 is an unintended byproduct of gain-of-function & cotransfection experiments using human cell lines in vitro. https://t.co/80kB3HYevX
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@stevenemassey @quay_dr @Daoyu15 @humblesci @ydeigin @Rcoleptic @Engineer2The 27. Summary (2) There are many conceivable scenarios how transmission could occur in the lab, e.g. through aerosols during the work or handling of waste. Such lab events could have occurred repeatedly long before December 2019. They remained undetected with cryptic spread. https://t.co/lbkPDHq4fS

"Vicious Spies & Killers under the Mask of Academic Physicians." Today, we demand the arrest of a group of saboteur-doctors. This terrorist group, uncovered some time ago by our investigators , had as their goal shortening the lives of human beings by means of medical sabotage.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Investigation established that this terrorist group, exploiting their position as doctors & abusing the trust of politicians, deliberately & viciously undermined the health of the public by undertaking dangerous gain of function experiments in laboratories in both China & the USA
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
This "research" led to the intentional or mistaken leak of a deadly new virus, SARS-COV-2. When these modern Frankensteins realised the extent of their folly, did they repent and confess? No! Instead, they collaborated together to kill the public with bad & incorrect treatments!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Covering themselves with the noble and merciful calling of physicians, men of science, these fiends and killers dishonoured the holy banner of science. Having taken the path of monstrous crimes, they defiled the honour of scientists.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Among the victims of this band of inhuman beasts were countless innocents worldwide. The criminals intentionally concealed their dangerous work on increasing the pathogenicity & virulence of harmless bat coronaviruses, which they had obtained secretly from caves in rural China.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
When the terrible pandemic spread, they prescribed inadvisable treatments and thus killed many citizens. Killer doctors, by incorrect use of very powerful medicines and prescription of harmful regimens, shortened the life of many of our poor elderly, leading to their deaths.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
The majority of the participants of the terrorist group were involved with American scientific organisations such as BARDA, DARPA, PREDICT and DTRA. They were recruited by American intelligence and international bourgeois-nationalist charity organization called "EcoHealthโ.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
The filthy face of this spy organization, covering up their vicious actions under the mask of charity, is now completely revealed, thanks to the tireless work of our investigators.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Unmasking the gang of poisoner-doctors has struck a deadly blow against the international virologistsโ organization and their puppets! Now all can see what sort of philanthropists and "friends of peace" hid beneath the sign-board of "Ecohealthโ
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Other participants in the terrorist group (Daszak, Epstein, Olival, Karesh, Kadlec, Franz) were discovered, as has been presently determined, to have been long-time agents of US intelligence, serving it for many years, carrying out its most criminal & sordid tasks in China.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Of course, the bigwigs of the USA and their Chinese junior partners know that to achieve domination over other nations by peaceful means is impossible.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Feverishly preparing for a new biological war and population control, they energetically sent spies cloaked as โvirologistsโ inside China and other countries to steal the most deadly viruses on behalf of their paymasters in Washington.

1/4 In http://virological.org/t/tackling-rumors-of-a-suspicious-origin-of-ncov2019/384โฆ William Gallagher updates his earlier (Feb 7) analysis of the differences between RaTG13 & SARS-Cov-2 specifically the RRAR furin cleavage site. Let's examine his claims which support his view that SARS-CoV-2 was not created in a lab.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
2/4 His first claim: "PRRA is unusual sequence to introduce to generate a furin site, others among coronaviruses like MHV A59 are so much better. Underlying code CCTCGGCGGGCA introduces unnecessarily G &C rich region... Not likely scenarios for something a gene jockey would do."
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
3/4 His second claim: "Then one looks at the actual RNA alignment. The โinsertโ is actually not in frame, but CTCCTCGGCGGG, or -2 out of frame. Again, who does that?
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
4/4 His third claim: "But the PROOF lies in looking at the 288 alignable nucleotides on either side of the โinsertโ. RNA is not at all identical, but 6.6% different โ 19 mutations out of 288. All 19 are mutations in the wobble base of their respective codons.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
5/ ? His 4th claim: "wobble base mutagenesis rate of 0.95% per decade permits estimated TMRCA of the 2 sequences nCoV2019 & RaTG13 of 69.5 yrs ago (later updated to 38.5 yrs due to maths errors) He concludes: "Far too long a time for Bat RaTG13 to be proximal source"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
6/ ? He concludes: "furin cleavage signals are present in other coronavirus at exactly that point in S1/S2 boundary region, it only LOOKS unusual against backdrop of SARS. PRRA sequence has been conserved in nCoV2019 from a long ago ancestor virus & is not of suspicious origin"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
7/? on May 3rd he updated analysis with claim to have discovered RRAR furin cleavage site in SARS-CoV-2 must have come from bat virus HKU9: "10 of 12 nucleotides in RRAR insert identical to sequence in spike protein gene of Bat Cov HKU9 from Rousettus bat (Guangdong) 2011"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
8/ ? He points out: โInsertโ is CT CCTCGGCGGG, the last 10 being identical to HKU9 sequence. He admits that "first CT of putative insert is still orphan, but there is a relevant possible source for the rest, albeit out of frame."
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
9/ ? sequence context has other similarities, i.e โcagacโ upstream & a โcโ downstream of โinsertโ: HKU9 gcatttgta caga------cctcggcgggc ctctgt CoV-2 tatcagact cagac ttgct cctcggcgggc acgtagt Form above, he asserts "a Lock": 14 of 19 identical nucleotides in 2 runs with 1 gap.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
10/ ? From above, despite evident "copy choice errors", he claims it cannot be coincidence & can best be explained by: "evolution of the site since the mixed infection, over a period of years." Having established the above (to a certain extent) he indulges in bizarre speculation
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
11/ ? Gallagher's speculations: 1. source of virus for human infection could be mixed bat guano from cave with mixed populations. 2. He admits that could occur in bats, intermediate animals or humans. So far his speculations seem plausible but then he makes a bizarre claim:
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
12/ ? 3. Human in incubation with SARS-CoV-2 could hop a max speed train from Kunming to Wuhan 7 hours later last fall. 4. Man infected in Yunnan, does not spread it there, but goes to Wuhan, gets ill, & spreads it asymptomatically to another person, initiating pandemic there
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
13/ ? 5. "The initial outbreak occurs short distance from Wuhan train station for good reason, that is where it arrived" Concluding that: "accidental mixed bat infection & infection of a human by bush meat or bat guano + train to Wuhan are most likely events leading to pandemic"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
14/ ? Problems with Gallagher's arguments and claims: 1. Geographical: HKU9 CoV was found in Guangdong but "patient zero" travels from Yunnan to Wuhan. How did HKU9 from RF macrobats get from Guandong to Yunnan to infect RA Microbats with RaTG13?
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
15/ ? 2. Timing of infection Extremely unlikely that "patient zero" (allegedly only one infected from bat shit or meat) didn't infect others in Kunming & became asymptomatically contagious just after getting off train in Wuhan. Sorry, but this is absurd, what was Bill smoking?
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
16/ ? Trust China? 3. Bill dismisses pangolin hypothesis "no animal reservoir for virus found so far, not for lack of the Chinese looking, who are more motivated to understand genesis than anyone" Proven that CCDC covered up environmental samples CCP monitors published research
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
17/? Tian Junhua Gallagher does not seem to be aware of documented cases of infection of bat researchers without proper PPE via bat guano & scratches since 2004 including Tian Junhua from WCDC in Wuhan, which is a far more likely explanation for sequence elucidated in his claims
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
18 /? Nature versus Lab He claims "wobble base mutagenesis" (WBM) over time in otherwise constant & conserved amino acid sequence indicate a TMRCA of 37 yrs ago for divergence between RaTG13 & SARSCov2 WBM could also occur over shorter time scale during serial passage in a Lab
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
19/ ? Nature versus Lab (2) In fact, lab leak of mutated virus (via repeated serial passage to attenuate or make it more pathogenic) also can explain: 1. PRRA is an unusual sequence to insert to generate a furin site 2. CCTCGGCGGGCA introduces an unnecessarily G and C rich region
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
20/ ? (Nature versus Lab (3) 3. RNA alignment: โinsertโ is actually not in frame, but CTCCTCGGCGGG, or -2 out of frame. Gallagher claims a "gene jockey" would not do this or points 1 & 2 above (19) BUT, precisely these features can occur via random mutations during serial passage
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
21/ ? (Nature versus Lab (4) SARS-COV-2 Furin cleavage site is a "looped out peptide sequence" BUT in other Coronaviruses with furin cleavage sites, there is not a strict alignment with neighbouring, more constant, peptide regions, which supports a serial passage hypothesis.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
22/ ? (Stuttering Palindromes) Palindromes like CAGAC, TGAGT, CAGAT often precede polymorphism or copy-choice recombinations among Bat CoVs, acting as "speed bumps" for the RNA polymerase complex, causing stuttering or loss. This happens equally during serial passage in a Lab.

HIV "Inserts" Thread This Thread will examine in tedious detail: 1. HIV based Virus Like particles (VLPs) & Lentiviruses used mainly for vaccine development 2. Important papers & analyses published on HIV "inserts" 3. Claims & Arguments made 4. Counter Arguments 5. Conclusions
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
1. Examine Thesis A A. Some argue that these putative HIV "inserts" appeared not by deliberate insertion, but are mere artefacts from VLPs/Lentivirus used as S protein vehicles, possibly used in pancoronavirus vaccine experiments B. Others claim they were inserted deliberately
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
2. Evidence for Thesis A Are these "inserts" feasible via serial passage & selection of mutations?

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
3. Several generations of HIV-1-based lentivirus vectors (deleting HIV viral envelope & some regulatory genes not required during vector production) were developed. However, virulence of lentiviral-derived backbones, HIV-1, caused serious safety concerns https://genemedi.net/i/vaccines-review

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
6. Currently, HIV-1 derived vectors are considered the most efficient ones for gene transduction in mammalian tissues. Here, they carry out vector genome insertion into host cell chromatin but integration in transcribed genes raises several safety issues https://researchgate.net/publication/269099221_Comparison_Between_Several_Integrase-defective_Lentiviral_Vectors_Reveals_Increased_Integration_of_an_HIV_Vector_Bearing_a_D167H_Mutant

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
9. It is important to delineate in detail recent developments in HIV based lentivirals & VLPs used in vaccine research into different viruses, especially coronaviruses, in order to prepare groundwork for subsequent analysis of HIV inserts found in 4 viruses originating from bats
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
10. Bats can Wait! HIV-1-based lentiviral vectors have advantages as DC vaccine vectors due to their ability to transduce non-dividing cells & integrate into the target cell genomic DNA, allowing for expression of encoded antigens during the cell's life https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4914507/
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
11. (Continued from Above) "A major safety concern with LV vectors is the risk for potential mutagenesis caused by insertion of the viral genome into the host genome. The risk of insertional mutagenesis remains controversial to date."

18. So far, I have just examined possibilities which could explain how & why HIV like sequences could appear in SARS-COV2 & other viruses as artefacts of their use as lentiviruses or virus like particles in vaccine research If someone wants to disagree with this, please jump in!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
19. Next step will be to assess likelihood or even remote possibility that HIV based lentiviruses or VLPs could somehow "contaminate" a pre-existing virus in its host, the bat, this giving rise to detction of "HIV inserts" in the viral sequences of SARS-COV-2, RaTg13 & 2 others.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
20. This is an extremely complex topic! Maybe I have bitten off more than I can chew, but I will soldier on in search of illumination. Wish me Luck!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
21. Worth pursuing this thread at a leisurely pace 1. Even if no conclusion is reached it is part of the learning process 2. Hidden gems often emerge when digging in strange territories 3. Research into a Pancoronavirus vaccine via HIV VLPs is more likely than HIV vaccine work
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
22. Some input by @sanchak74 who should be followed "I may be wrong, but the problem is these inserts are small (6aa (18nt) or lesser), and not contiguous. Inserts don't happen that way. Find a larger contiguous (nucleotide) insert matching any HIV or LVLPs constructs"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
23. Jumping some background papers on VLPs and Lentivirus contamination in host cells and recombination of viruses, let's take a look at WIV Lab methodology and how they used HIV in their experiments.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
24. WIV Pseudoviruses 1. WIV used HIV-1 derived plasmids, co-transfecting them along with SARS-like virus derived spike gene plasmids, into human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells. 2. They created pseudoviruses to perform experiments under BSL-2 instead of BSL-4 (required for SARS)
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
25. A case in point (Thanks @franciscodeasis) For MERS-CoV infection, HIV-pseudovirus was used during a WIV experiment on fatal swine acute diarrhoea syndrome caused by HKU2-related bat cov https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7094983/
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
26. Let's look in more detail: 1. Codon-humanized S genes of SADS-CoV or MERS-CoV cloned into pcDNA3.1 were used for pseudovirus construction 2. pHIV-Luc plasmid (pNL4.3.Luc.R-E-Luc) & S-protein-expressing plasmid (empty vector control) were co-transfected into HEK293T cells
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
27. HIV virions & S proteins "To evaluate the incorporation of S proteins into the core of HIV virions, pseudoviruses in supernatant were concentrated by ultracentrifugation"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
28. MERS-CoV HIV Pseudovirus 1. SADS-CoV entry & infection was tested in Hela cells with coronavirus receptors 2. SADS-CoV grown in Vero cells was used to infect HeLa cells transiently expressing APN, ACE2 or DPP4.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
29. MERS-HIV-WIV16 3. SARS-related-CoV WIV16 & MERS-CoV HIV-pseudovirus were used as positive control for human/swine ACE2 or DPP4, respectively. 4. SARS-related-CoV WIV16 replication was detected using rabbit antibody against SARS-related-CoV Rp3 N protein (made in house ;)
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
30. Contamination? 5. Infection of MERS-CoV HIV-pseudovirus was monitored by luciferase 48 h after infection. 6. The spike gene plasmid solution could become contaminated with SARS-like viruses due to inadequate purification, which infected HEK cells ( Thanks to @ArumughamVinu )
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
31. With HEK cells containing transfected HIV-1 genes, novel recombinant SARS-like viruses emerged with HIV-1 derived inserts. Such novel coronaviruses would have been exposed to lab workers & animals during handling, especially in a relaxed BSL-2 setting https://zenodo.org/record/3766463#.Xw6lAaEzbHY
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
32. Contamination (2) 1. HEK were grown using fetal calf serum 2. Experiments contaminated with genetic material from: A. SARS-Like Coronaviruses (WIV16 et al) B. HIV-1 C. Bovine viruses in fetal calf serum D. Human viruses in HEK thus resulting in SARS-CoV-2 with HIV Inserts?
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
33. A big thanks to @ArumughamVinu for his analysis which deserves reading: https://zenodo.org/record/3766463#.Xw6lAaEzbHY We have seen that when cells are: 1. infected with multiple viruses 2. contaminated with genetic material from multiple viruses 3. recombination can occur creating novel viruses.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
34. @ArumughamVinu concluded: "With millions of contaminated cell lines, WIV labs were incubators for novel viruses including coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2. So it was only a matter of time before a virus with h2h transmission capability would leak" It did, in Oct/Nov 2019!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
35. RaTG13 & SARS-COV-2 Despite spurious & childish claims by US based Chinese Researchers that the HIV inserts were found in 2 other bat betacovs (ZC45 & ZXC21) it is clear thanks to @flavinkins & my own findings that only the viruses RaTG13 & SARS-CoV-2 contain these inserts
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
36. Significantly, only RaTG13 & SARS-COV-2 viruses contain the specific sequences in question! (individually they appear in many other organisms) see @trvrb who "debunked' the HIV Inserts claim by pointing out these inserts are also found in RaTG13. He shot himself in the foot!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
37. HIV Insert debunking Session by @trvrb is here: & Worth a read, yes, but we can debunk @trvrb now! Why? Because his argument is mainly based on the inserts appearing in RaTG13 which he then uses as "proof" of natural origin ๐คฃ
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
38. RaTG13 is anything but a natural virus! 1. IF anything, ACE2 binding optimised to lab animals 2. Amplified from "disintegrated" bat fecal swab (4991) 3. Amplicon sequences reveal lab contamination @nerdhaspower and @flavinkins have both proved this! https://nerdhaspower.weebly.com/ratg13-is-fake.html
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
39. Horizontal Gene Transfer The next set of tweets will examine the phenomenon of "horizontal gene transfer" between viruses and between hosts and viruses. For an introduction, please watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiRc2FGh71o
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
40. Before we explore Horizontal Gene Transfer in more detail, let's examine the claims of @Ayjchan that the "HIV Insert Claim has been put to rest" by a flawed paper from Chinese Researchers: She bases her arguments on this paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7033698/
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
41. I suspect that @Ayjchan did not bother to look closely at the sequence data because it is glaringly obvious that they presented the sequences erroneously to claim that the "HIV sequences" could also be found in ZC45 and ZXC21 See images via @trvrb side by side with their data
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
42. Their claim is patently FALSE! It can only be explained as an amateur propaganda attempt by Chinese AIDS researchers working in the US to promote a natural origin hypothesis to deflect criticism from their motherland & discredit claims of "HIV Inserts" Perverse Science!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
43. Do you still doubt what I say? Read their drivel here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7033698/ Take a magnifying glass to inspect their diagrams with fake sequence data & their unsupported claims about ZC45 & ZXC21 Of course, their "research" has been WELL used by "natural origin" fanatics
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
44. Their claims are TOXIC@Ayjchan"They didn't compare SARS2 to closest genomes RaTG13, ZC45, ZXC21..otherwise, they would've seen that 3 of 4 inserts already exist in these natural CoVs" "This paper puts the hypothesis to rest"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
45. There is now no doubt that: 1. RaTG13 is a lab construct and that only RaTg13 and SARS-COV-2 contain the specific set of HIV insert sequences. 2. ZC45 & ZXC21 do not contain these HIV sequences by any stretch of the imagination https://t.co/H4SUQmyQH9 https://t.co/DtjN2Xli81
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
46. Debunking Finished, Time for a well deserved Swim! I will also hope to practice some "horizontal gene Transfer" with Sally Brown cos "she's a nice young lady, way, hay, roll and go" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6ts58a8Dfk before returning to this thread to examine that topic in more detail

Humans cooperate with each other in large groups to defend territories or wage war. But what underlies the evolution of this kind of cooperation? Chimpanzees join their close bond partners when fighting rivals, humans, too. https://www.mpg.de/16329863/0122-evan-le-rivals-150495-x

1. List of 49 ways to cover up! This was compiled from famous cover-ups such as Watergate Scandal, Iran-Contra Affair, My Lai Massacre, Pentagon Papers, the cover-up of corruption in NY & the tobacco industry cover-up of the hazards of smoking. https://www.adamsmith.org/cover-up
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
2. How many of these ways do you see in Covid-19? The methods in actual cover-ups tend to follow the general order of the list below. Initial response to allegation (1) Flat denial Convince the media to bury the story Preemptively distribute false information
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
3. Initial response to allegation (2) Claim that the "problem" is minimal Claim faulty memory Claim the accusations are half-truths Claim the critic has no proof Attack the critic's motive Attack the critic's character Withhold or tamper with evidence
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
4. Later Responses Prevent the discovery of evidence Destroy or alter the evidence Make discovery of evidence difficult Lie or commit perjury Block or delay investigations Issue restraining orders Claim executive privilege Delayed response to allegation
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
5. Defenses Deny a restricted definition of wrongdoing Limited hang out, confess to minor charges Use biased evidence as a defense Claim critics' evidence is biased Set up biased blue ribbon commission or "independent" inquiry Intimidate participants, witnesses or whistleblowers
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
6. Attacks Bribe or buy out the critic Intimidate the critic by following him @AGHuff Hire detectives & threaten to reveal past wrongdoing ("dirt") Death threats of the critic or family @redfield_dr Threaten the critic with loss of job or future employment in industry (many!)
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
@AGHuff @redfield_dr 7. Publicity management Bribe the press Secretly plant stories in the press Retaliate against hostile media Threaten the press with loss of access Attack the motives of the press Place defensive advertisements Buy out the news source Damage control

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
2. Was the motive of http://Virological.orgโs rush release due to competition to get the first releaser credit for the sars-cov-2 genome?
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
3. @GISAID claims 'the access credentials of some of the persons listed as authors of Wuhan-hu-1 were among the access credentials used on January 10, 2020 to access the first genomes available on GISAID'
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
4. @GISAID formally wrote to the authors who acknowledged Virological,orgโs post as the world's first release of the SARS-COV-2 genome, and penalised the authors of MN908947

5. but @GISAID didn't identify who exactly from Fudan University or University of Sydney ACCESSED and KNEW about IVDC's 'initial' submission of IVDC-01/05 on GISAID on 10th Jan, 2020, via login records of their GISAID account credentials.

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
9. In the presentation, was Edward Holmes referring to the 3rd January gag order? Similar to the one communicated to WIV by China CDC via a phone call on january 1st? and China NHC?
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
10. Professor Holmes mentioned the gag order to paint Professor Zhang Yongzhen as a rebellious hero. "But China CDC was in fact the force pushing that gag order, to intimidate hospitals, universities & Labs" https://time.com/5882918/zhang-yongzhen-interview-china-coronavirus-genome/
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
11. ICDC vs IVDC "For outsiders, yes, but inside the Chinese CDC, the gag order was a protection for their dominance, the only conflict here was the twisted power play between ICDC and IVDC"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
12. Edward Holmes refers to the โkey memberโ Did he mean Xu Jianguo? Xu Jianguo was Professor Yong-zhen Zhang's direct boss at ICDC, China, and the leader of the joint task force for pathogen identification in Wuhan.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
13. Xu Jianguo organised the blind test kit trial which led to authorisation of the three basically useless early test kits, which gave false negatives and contributed to the death of many Wuhan citizens.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
16. The Genome Publication Delay The Chinese government finally made its genomes public on Jan. 12, a day after another team published one without authorization. That opened the door for more companies to make their own test kits.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
17. Releasing the Genome 1. Yong-Zhen Zhang's team submitted the genome to Genbank on 05/01/2020, setting an embargo date for July 2020 2. They had no intention to release it immediately as the purpose was to get an accession number for Nature submission!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
18. Our "hero" and Eddie's friend, Professor Yong-Zhen Zhang released the genome only AFTER he finished negotiating a secret validation which secured exclusive rights for three Shanghai testing kit companies.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
19. Coincidences and Corruption It turns out that all the CCDC affiliated researchers listed as authors on the first SARS-COV-2 genomes submitted to @GISAID on the 12th January, had interests in companies able to profit from the pandemic.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
20. Some useful documents about the SARS-COV-2 genome initial release dates to review
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
21. Negotiations? Both the http://Virological.org release and the GISAID release were preceded by negotiations. 1. In the http://virological.org release, Eddie Holmes negotiated with Professor Zhang Yongzhen 2. In the GISAID case, GISAID negotiated with China CDC.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
22. This is not the plausible methodology for emerging outbreaks as this pandemic proved to us time is of the essence during the early response. Negotiations allow backdoor agendas and quid-pro-quo and covering of tracks, right, Eddie?
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
23. Did @edwardcholmes the "virus spotter" not spot this when he worked so closely with these CCDC researchers? His excuse: China Politics? You're twistin' my melon man!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
24. In other news... GISAID later went on a narrative manipulation campaign using its strong position to help IVDC to 'reclaim' the first 'public release' trophy. So they forward logged the GISAID actual public release time!
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
25. As for the talk about possible funding loss for poor "rectified" Professor Zhang, how much more funding can this 'first release' generate in the future? He had a top PR company help his image in 2020, so we no need to worry too much about his funding..
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐

"Alternatively, โNo Seeโmโ sites can be used to insert foreign genes into viral, eukaryotic, or microbial genome or vector, simultaneously removing all evidence of the restriction sites that were used in the recombinant DNA manipulation"
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
By orientating the restriction sites as โNo Seeโmโ, the sites are removed during reassembly, leaving only the desired mutation in the final DNA product.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
The dual properties of strand specificity & a variable end overhang that can be tailored to match any sequence allow for Esp3I sites to be engineered as โuniversal connectorsโ that can be joined with any other four nucleotide restriction site overhangs (e.g. EcoRI, PstX1, BamH1)
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Seamless assembly (also called No Seeโm Sites (85)) cascades have been used to assemble full length cDNAs of the coronaviruses mouse hepatitis virus, transmissible gastroenteritis virus, infectious bronchitis virus and SARS-CoV (Refs: 85,86,87)
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Type IIS restriction endonucleases recognize asymmetric binding sites & leave asymmetric ends These enzymes can be used to create unique interconnecting junctions, which can be subsequently removed from final assembly product allowing seamless reconstruction of an exact sequence
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
With enzymes like Esp3I, interconnecting restriction site junctions can be located at ends of each cDNA & systematically removed during assembly of complete full-length cDNA product
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Consequently, knowledgeable experts can theoretically reconstruct full length synthetic genomes for any of the high priority virus pathogens, although technical concerns may limit the robustness of these approaches.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
Another approach might be to โhumanizeโ zoonotic viruses by inserting mutations into virus attachment proteins or constructing chimeric proteins that regulate virus species specificity (viral attachment proteins bind receptors, mediating virus docking and entry into cells).
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
The pathogenicity of these chimeric coronaviruses is unknown The pathogenicity of these chimeric coronaviruses is unknown The pathogenicity of these chimeric coronaviruses is unknown The pathogenicity of these chimeric coronaviruses is unknown

"Scapegoat option" This powerful technique provides bioterrorists with a โscapegoatโ option; leaving a sequence signature that misdirects efforts at tracking the true originators of the crime. Even better, the approach could be used to build mistrust &/or precipitate open warfare

For the Record (WIV) In 2016, Shi and her team at the WIV, in conjunction with the New York-based EcoHealth Alliance, constructed a full-length clone of a bat coronavirus called SL-CoV WIV1. They assembled it in discrete segments.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
They genetically engineered the virus using the pGEMยฎ-T Easy Vector Systems to join the segments. This system, also available on the internet, gives researchers several options for how to remove GM inserts that can be seen as signatures of a lab-made virus.18
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
pGEMยฎ-T Easy Vector Systems: โThus, several options exist to remove the desired insert DNA with a single restriction digestion.โ This shows that researchers at the WIV have the ability to genetically engineer viruses and remove the signatures of the genetic engineering.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
WIV & EcoHealth Alliance published a paper in 2017 on how they genetically modified spike proteins of 8 bat coronaviruses, by cutting & pasting genetic material from other coronaviruses, so that the viruses infected the human ACE2 receptor
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
They used pGEMยฎ-T Easy Vector Systems to join the segments to genetically engineer these viruses. They showed how they can insert new spikes into viruses. The researchers state: โThen any spike could be substituted into the genome of SARSr-CoV WIV1 through this strategy.โ
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
This shows that researchers at WIV have the ability to genetically modify multiple coronaviruses to insert new spikes, and these new viruses cannot be detected as genetically engineered.
@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐ด๐&๐ ๐
The research clearly shows that GOF researchers at WIV could assemble SARS-CoV-2 from bat coronaviruses, such as RaTG13 or similar & spike protein from Malayan Pangolins & insert multi-basic cleavage sites into precise regions of spike & leave no evidence of genetic engineering.
