I believe in the importance of truth over lies, freedom over oppression, and knowledge over ignorance. While I can't control the length of my life, I can enrich its width and depth through my choices and experiences.

I need to clarify the reasons behind the DRASTIC split. It wasn't about the Radical R; rather, it stemmed from Billy's misuse of group email access and his refusal to comply with our majority vote. After a crisis where several members were locked out, we had no choice but to create a new email and website. Billy's threats of a smear campaign only solidified our decision to distance ourselves from him. The proposal to change DRASTIC's name came after our split, and I support it. Iโ€™m not seeking leadership; I just stand against bullying and want to maintain our group's democratic nature.

@ydeigin - Yuri Deigin

๐Ÿงต WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN DRASTIC Ok, we need to set the record straight about how the DRASTIC schism happened. And no, itโ€™s 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

https://t.co/ZsSkd8oa5W

@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 groupโ€™s majority vote to share it with the groupโ€™s 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 didnโ€™t 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 Billyโ€™s 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 โ€œthe leader of DRASTICโ€ or portray myself as some sort of โ€œcoordinatorโ€ 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.

I shared a series of posts discussing the lack of transparency surrounding the environmental samples from the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan. Despite numerous inquiries, George Gao has not provided specific details about the positive samples. I highlighted the original questions posed by DRASTIC and the frustration over unanswered queries. A recently leaked map, which took ten months to surface, raises further questions about its delayed release and the discrepancies between versions held by different health organizations. The ongoing investigation by the WHO emphasizes the market's significance in understanding the outbreak.

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.

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

9. A polite interpretation? "While the Postโ€™s 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"

I've been compiling information on early COVID-19 cases, focusing on various threads. I discussed Connor Reed, an early case from the UK, and explored the origins of the outbreak, including market and non-market cases. I addressed misconceptions in published research and highlighted significant research grants related to the virus. Additionally, I examined the connections between early cases and the Huanan Seafood Market, arguing against it being the pandemic's origin. I also provided updates on specific cases and WIV personnel involved in research.

First preprint with @Engineer2The @Drinkwater5Reed @Franciscodeasis on our dive into early Covid cases, focusing on sequences. https://zenodo.org/record/6672912 We found some raw reads unpublished as sequences (https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/71/15/713/5780800 ) and that Beijing's 1st case was earlier than thought

On some unpublished early SARS-CoV-2 sequences The origin of SARS-CoV-2 is still unknown: the chain of events that brought a virus whose close relatives are found in Rhinolophus bats in the Yunnan province and in Laosย to the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan in early December 2019 remains to be elucidated. In particular, the non-market patients and the genetically more ancestral Lineage A remain mysterious. A retrospective analysis identified 174 patients with onset in December, among them only 15 have been sequenced and published, often multiple times. By collating as much data as possible on early cases we found some data on 65 patients with onset in December 2019. Furthermore, we detected two patients who had been sequenced, but whose sequences were never uploaded to a public database and whose raw reads, although published, were not reanalyzed. We also present some information on the first Beijing patient, who had an onset date of December 17, 2019 and was related to the Huanan market outbreak. Using the collated information, significant progress has been made towards solving the discrepancies in the early sequences. A phylogeny of 19 early patients is presented, based on onset dates, as well as several tMRCA estimates โ€“ falling in late November. zenodo.org

I explored various alternatives to gain-of-function research, emphasizing loss-of-function studies and in vitro genetic interactions. I raised ethical concerns about experiments with potential pandemic pathogens and highlighted alarming examples of dangerous research, including a project to create a highly lethal monkeypox virus. I called for transparency regarding virus experiments and expressed my belief that the U.S. has engaged in illegal biowarfare research under the guise of biodefense. I also noted that while the U.S. denies these activities, evidence suggests otherwise.

Gain-of-function research can't deliver pandemic predictions. Are there alternatives? Gain-of-function research in virology can pinpoint genetic mutations that could make viruses a pandemic threat, yet there is no guarantee that the next pandemic virus will follow any of the genetic roadmaps scientists discover using these methods. A potentially large number of genetic mutations could affect how viruses behave, changing viral traits in a way that could prove hard to predict. Alternative approaches to gain-of-function research exist, but how useful are they? thebulletin.org

I strongly condemn conspiracy theories about COVID-19's origins. However, I've seen emails revealing that many virologists privately debated the lab origin while publicly dismissing it. Itโ€™s troubling that even esteemed scientists can overlook the possibility of lab accidents. Acknowledging this doesn't diminish their intelligence or virtue; it merely reflects reality. I question why investigating a lab accident is deemed immoral while market spillover isn't. The recent FOIA revelations show a disconnect between public statements and private concerns among experts.

@Ayjchan - Alina Chan

@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

I don't understand why it's immoral to suggest and investigate a lab accident, but not immoral to similarly suggest and investigate a market spillover.

@Ayjchan - Alina Chan

Reading @janeqiuchina's piece in @techreview the scientific arguments are not new or robust. imo the biggest question it poses is: Is it immoral or geopolitical to push for an #OriginOfCovid investigation, specifically an accidental lab escape, when it targets a nice person?

@Ayjchan - Alina Chan

Many of these private exchanges among top experts - some who condemned lab #OriginOfCovid in public but worried about a lab leak in private - are only coming to light about 2 years later due to FOIA efforts by the @USRightToKnow https://usrtk.org/biohazards-blog/u-s-virologist-cleared-testimony-with-wuhan-lab/

Melioidosis - Nature Reviews Disease Primers Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative environmental bacterium and the aetiological agent of melioidosis, a life-threatening infection that is estimated to account for โˆผ89,000 deaths per year worldwide. Diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for melioidosis, and the global diabetes pandemic could increase the number of fatalities caused by melioidosis. Melioidosis is endemic across tropical areas, especially in southeast Asia and northern Australia. Disease manifestations can range from acute septicaemia to chronic infection, as the facultative intracellular lifestyle and virulence factors of B. pseudomallei promote survival and persistence of the pathogen within a broad range of cells, and the bacteria can manipulate the host's immune responses and signalling pathways to escape surveillance. The majority of patients present with sepsis, but specific clinical presentations and their severity vary depending on the route of bacterial entry (skin penetration, inhalation or ingestion), host immune function and bacterial strain and load. Diagnosis is based on clinical and epidemiological features as well as bacterial culture. Treatment requires long-term intravenous and oral antibiotic courses. Delays in treatment due to difficulties in clinical recognition and laboratory diagnosis often lead to poor outcomes and mortality can exceed 40% in some regions. Research into B. pseudomallei is increasing, owing to the biothreat potential of this pathogen and increasing awareness of the disease and its burden; however, better diagnostic tests are needed to improve early confirmation of diagnosis, which would enable better therapeutic efficacy and survival. Burkholderia pseudomallei is a bacterium with a high biothreat potential: it can cause an infectious disease โ€” melioidosis โ€” that presents with sepsis, pneumonia or both in the majority of patients, with mortality as high as 50% and for which no vaccine is available. nature.com

I've compiled a series of posts discussing the origins of SARS-CoV-2, focusing on the Mojiang mineshaft and related findings. Key points include the confirmation of the 7896 clade, the significance of WIV's sampling trips, and the challenges faced by journalists trying to access the mine. I highlighted the importance of unpublished sequences and the potential implications of lab contamination. Additionally, I noted discrepancies in reported patient onset dates and the need for further investigation into the origins of the virus, including the role of various isolates and samples.

[Thread] Wang et al. (2021): Another article revealing trips to the Mojiang mine and Laos was kept in the limbo when the pandemic started. Note: The article covers HKU10 viruses which are not related with SARS-like viruses. https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/10/1962

Genomic Characterization of Diverse Bat Coronavirus HKU10 in Hipposideros Bats Bats have been identified as natural reservoirs of a variety of coronaviruses. They harbor at least 19 of the 33 defined species of alpha- and betacoronaviruses. Previously, the bat coronavirus HKU10 was found in two bat species of different suborders, Rousettus leschenaultia and Hipposideros pomona, in south China. However, its geographic distribution and evolution history are not fully investigated. Here, we screened this viral species by a nested reverse transcriptase PCR in our archived samples collected over 10 years from 25 provinces of China and one province of Laos. From 8004 bat fecal samples, 26 were found to be positive for bat coronavirus HKU10 (BtCoV HKU10). New habitats of BtCoV HKU10 were found in the Yunnan, Guangxi, and Hainan Provinces of China, and Louang Namtha Province in Laos. In addition to H. pomona, BtCoV HKU10 variants were found circulating in Aselliscus stoliczkanus and Hipposideros larvatus. We sequenced full-length genomes of 17 newly discovered BtCoV HKU10 strains and compared them with previously published sequences. Our results revealed a much higher genetic diversity of BtCoV HKU10, particularly in spike genes and accessory genes. Besides the two previously reported lineages, we found six novel lineages in their new habitats, three of which were located in Yunnan province. The genotypes of these viruses are closely related to sampling locations based on polyproteins, and correlated to bat species based on spike genes. Combining phylogenetic analysis, selective pressure, and molecular-clock calculation, we demonstrated that Yunnan bats harbor a gene pool of BtCoV HKU10, with H. pomona as a natural reservoir. The cell tropism test using spike-pseudotyped lentivirus system showed that BtCoV HKU10 could enter cells from human and bat, suggesting a potential interspecies spillover. Continuous studies on these bat coronaviruses will expand our understanding of the evolution and genetic diversity of coronaviruses, and provide a prewarning of potential zoonotic diseases from bats. mdpi.com

A comprehensive survey of bat sarbecoviruses across China for the origin tracing of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2 have been thought to originate from bat, but whether the cross-species transmission occurred directly from bat to human or through an intermediate host remains elusive.

Iโ€™ve been diving into the complex world of pangolins, particularly focusing on the involvement of key figures like Yang Ruifu and Yigang Tong in bioweapons research and the mysterious "pangoscam." It appears that pangolins smuggled from Southeast Asia may carry viruses related to SARS-CoV-2, raising questions about their role in the pandemic. There are concerns about a cover-up involving the PLA and various agencies regarding the handling of these animals and the viruses they carry. More revelations are expected as I continue to explore this intricate narrative.

I have uncovered significant findings regarding the Pangolin Riddle. Evidence confirms that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had pangolins in 2019 and isolated MERS-like coronaviruses from them just before the pandemic. Research indicates that a specific pangolin virus, MjHKU4r-CoV-1, possesses a furin cleavage site that enhances its ability to infect human cells. This suggests a possible link between lab experiments and the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, raising questions about the pathways that led to its acquisition of this feature.

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

On the Origin of SARS-CoV-2: Did Cell Culture Experiments Lead to Increased Virulence of the Progenitor Virus for Humans? We are currently in a rapidly expanding pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which originated in the city of Wuhan in central China. The COVID-19 is now spread worldwide and has tremendous socio-economic consequences. The origin of the virus can be reconstructed through epidemiological studies and, even more so, from genome comparisons. How the evolution of the virus and the transition to humans might have happened is the subject of much speculation. It is considered certain that the virus is of animal origin and very likely passed from bats to humans in a zoonotic event. An intermediate host was postulated, but many SARS-like bat viruses have the ability to infect human cells directly, which has been shown experimentally by scientists in the Wuhan Institute of Virology using collected specimens containing virus material from horseshoe bats. The propagation of SARS-like bat viruses in cell culture allowed experiments aimed at increasing the infectivity of the virus and adaptation to human cells. This article summarizes the unique properties of SARS-CoV-2 and focusses on a specific sequence encoding the spike protein. Possible scenarios of virus evolution are discussed, with particular emphasis on the hypothesis that the virus could have emerged unintentionally through routine culture or gain-of-function experiments in a laboratory, where it was optimally adapted to human cells and caused cryptic infections among workers who finally spread the virus causing the pandemic. iv.iiarjournals.org

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.

@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 (โ€œin transโ€), or purposefully in the context of gain-of-function experiments.

@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.

@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.

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.

@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

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

I've come across some concerning developments regarding the CREID initiative, funded by NIAID, which involves researchers like Daszak and Fauci in various countries. Their focus seems to be on studying highly pathogenic viruses, including coronaviruses and filoviruses, with significant funding allocated for this purpose. I've shared links to their meetings and documents, highlighting the scale of the project and its implications. There's a lot to unpack about the potential risks associated with these research activities and the funding involved.

COUNTRY AND REGION OVERVIEWS Phase I of the project allowed National Academies staff to work with international partners to develop country and region overviews in advance of the Phase II international workshop. Staff engaged partners in countries that have developed BSL-3 and/or 4 laboratories and countries planning to construct BSL-3 and 4 labs. Staff asked all of the country study writers to describe a countryโ€™s facilities, capabilities, and regulations as well as past accidents, safety and security issues, and lessons learned. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

I highlighted how individuals like Jerome Hauer and Robert Kramer are profiting from vaccine manufacturing, while also linking their past actions to events like Amerithrax.

I've been tracking the discussions around the recent Russian document releases concerning Hunter Biden and alleged biolabs in Ukraine. There's a lot of confusion due to the ongoing propaganda war, and I believe all documents should be scrutinized, even if they are part of a Russian campaign. I noticed that no one has fully translated the documents published by the Russian MOD last year, and I've reached out to experts for clarification but haven't received any responses yet. It's challenging to keep up with the information flow, especially with mixed-language sources.

I've been delving into Aleksei Chmura's thesis and its connections to bat research in China, particularly after reading Quammen's "Spillover." Chmura's work, which evaluates virus risks, highlights his involvement with Nathan Wolfe's "Global Viral" project and collaborations with various institutions, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology. His thesis details extensive bat sampling and raises concerns about safety practices. I also noted local customs regarding wildlife consumption and the lack of bats in restaurants, questioning the accuracy of some claims about bat consumption in rural areas.

1/4 From an obscure PhD thesis by Aleksei Avery CHMURA, now chief of staff at @EcoHealthNYC & author of: 2013 WIV paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12711 2016: https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Zeng-etal_Bat-SARSlike_2016.pdf 2018: https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Virologica-Sinica-SARSr.pdf Thesis Evaluating Risks of Paramyxovirus and Coronavirus Emergence in China

Isolation and characterization of a bat SARS-like coronavirus that uses the ACE2 receptor - Nature Whole-genome sequences of two novel SARS-CoV-related bat coronaviruses, in addition to a live isolate of a bat SARS-like coronavirus, are reported; the live isolate can infect human cells using ACE2, providing the strongest evidence to date that Chinese horseshoe bats are natural reservoirs of SARS-CoV. Peter Daszak and colleagues identify two novel coronaviruses from Chinese horseshoe bats that are closely related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), the cause of a pandemic during 2002 and 2003. They also isolate a live virus from these bats that has high sequence identity to SARS-CoV and that can infect human cells using ACE2, the same receptor that is used by SARS-CoV. The results provide the strongest evidence to date that horseshoe bats are natural reservoirs of SARS-CoV. The 2002โ€“3 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was one of the most significant public health events in recent history1. An ongoing outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus2 suggests that this group of viruses remains a key threat and that their distribution is wider than previously recognized. Although bats have been suggested to be the natural reservoirs of both viruses3,4,5, attempts to isolate the progenitor virus of SARS-CoV from bats have been unsuccessful. Diverse SARS-like coronaviruses (SL-CoVs) have now been reported from bats in China, Europe and Africa5,6,7,8, but none is considered a direct progenitor of SARS-CoV because of their phylogenetic disparity from this virus and the inability of their spike proteins to use the SARS-CoV cellular receptor molecule, the human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2)9,10. Here we report whole-genome sequences of two novel bat coronaviruses from Chinese horseshoe bats (family: Rhinolophidae) in Yunnan, China: RsSHC014 and Rs3367. These viruses are far more closely related to SARS-CoV than any previously identified bat coronaviruses, particularly in the receptor binding domain of the spike protein. Most importantly, we report the first recorded isolation of a live SL-CoV (bat SL-CoV-WIV1) from bat faecal samples in Vero E6 cells, which has typical coronavirus morphology, 99.9% sequence identity to Rs3367 and uses ACE2 from humans, civets and Chinese horseshoe bats for cell entry. Preliminary in vitro testing indicates that WIV1 also has a broad species tropism. Our results provide the strongest evidence to date that Chinese horseshoe bats are natural reservoirs of SARS-CoV, and that intermediate hosts may not be necessary for direct human infection by some bat SL-CoVs. They also highlight the importance of pathogen-discovery programs targeting high-risk wildlife groups in emerging disease hotspots as a strategy for pandemic preparedness. nature.com

Iโ€™m observing various researchers and institutions like UC Davis and Institut Pasteur engaging in significant discussions around coronavirus research and biodiversity. There's a focus on genetic diversity in bats and the conservation status of Cambodian cave bats. I noted some emerging distractions in the field and the ongoing surveillance of wildlife for viral RNA. Additionally, I see mentions of potential conspiracy claims being dismissed. Overall, there's a blend of hope, planning, and ongoing investigation in the realm of virology and biodiversity.

The pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 in hACE2 transgenic mice - Nature Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has become a public health emergency of international concern1. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the cell-entry receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)2. Here we infected transgenic mice that express human ACE2 (hereafter, hACE2 mice) with SARS-CoV-2 and studied the pathogenicity of the virus. We observed weight loss as well as virus replication in the lungs of hACE2 mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. The typical histopathology was interstitial pneumonia with infiltration of considerable numbers of macrophages and lymphocytes into the alveolar interstitium, and the accumulation of macrophages in alveolar cavities. We observed viral antigens in bronchial epithelial cells, macrophages and alveolar epithelia. These phenomena were not found in wild-type mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. Notably, we have confirmed the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 in hACE2 mice. This mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 infection will be valuable for evaluating antiviral therapeutic agents and vaccines, as well as understanding the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 causes interstitial pneumonia and viral replication in the lungs of transgenic mice that express a human version of ACE2, confirming the pathogenicity of the virus in this model. nature.com

11. 2020 - USA SARS-CoV-2 infection of human ACE2-transgenic mice causes severe lung inflammation and impaired function https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-020-0778-2

SARS-CoV-2 infection of human ACE2-transgenic mice causes severe lung inflammation and impaired function - Nature Immunology Although animal models have been evaluated for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, none have fully recapitulated the lung disease phenotypes seen in humans who have been hospitalized. Here, we evaluate transgenic mice expressing the human angiotensin I-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor driven by the cytokeratin-18 (K18) gene promoter (K18-hACE2) as a model of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Intranasal inoculation of SARS-CoV-2 in K18-hACE2 mice results in high levels of viral infection in lungs, with spread to other organs. A decline in pulmonary function occurs 4โ€‰days after peak viral titer and correlates with infiltration of monocytes, neutrophils and activated T cells. SARS-CoV-2-infected lung tissues show a massively upregulated innate immune response with signatures of nuclear factor-ฮบB-dependent, type I and II interferon signaling, and leukocyte activation pathways. Thus, the K18-hACE2 model of SARS-CoV-2 infection shares many features of severe COVID-19 infection and can be used to define the basis of lung disease and test immune and antiviral-based countermeasures. Diamond and colleagues generate a K18-hACE2 model of SARS-CoV-2 infection that shares many features of severe COVID-19 infection and can be used to define the basis of lung disease and test immune and antiviral-based countermeasures. nature.com

Novel Bat Alphacoronaviruses in Southern China Support Chinese Horseshoe Bats as an Important Reservoir for Potential Novel Coronaviruses While bats are increasingly recognized as a source of coronavirus epidemics, the diversity and emergence potential of bat coronaviruses remains to be fully understood. Among 1779 bat samples collected in China, diverse coronaviruses were detected in 32 samples from five different bat species by RT-PCR. Two novel alphacoronaviruses, Rhinolophus sinicus bat coronavirus HKU32 (Rs-BatCoV HKU32) and Tylonycteris robustula bat coronavirus HKU33 (Tr-BatCoV HKU33), were discovered from Chinese horseshoe bats in Hong Kong and greater bamboo bats in Guizhou Province, respectively. Genome analyses showed that Rs-BatCoV HKU32 is closely related to BatCoV HKU10 and related viruses from diverse bat families, whereas Tr-BatCoV HKU33 is closely related to BtNv-AlphaCoV and similar viruses exclusively from bats of Vespertilionidae family. The close relatedness of Rs-BatCoV HKU32 to BatCoV HKU10 which was also detected in Pomona roundleaf bats from the same country park suggests that these viruses may have the tendency of infecting genetically distant bat populations of close geographical proximity with subsequent genetic divergence. Moreover, the presence of SARSr-CoV ORF7a-like protein in Rs-BatCoV HKU32 suggests a common evolutionary origin of this accessory protein with SARS-CoV, also from Chinese horseshoe bats, an apparent reservoir for coronavirus epidemics. The emergence potential of Rs-BatCoV HKU32 should be explored. mdpi.com

Characterization of a New Member of Alphacoronavirus with Unique Genomic Features in Rhinolophus Bats Bats have been identified as a natural reservoir of a variety of coronaviruses (CoVs). Several of them have caused diseases in humans and domestic animals by interspecies transmission. Considering the diversity of bat coronaviruses, bat species and populations, we expect to discover more bat CoVs through virus surveillance. In this study, we described a new member of alphaCoV (BtCoV/Rh/YN2012) in bats with unique genome features. Unique accessory genes, ORF4a and ORF4b were found between the spike gene and the envelope gene, while ORF8 gene was found downstream of the nucleocapsid gene. All the putative genes were further confirmed by reverse-transcription analyses. One unique gene at the 3โ€™ end of the BtCoV/Rh/YN2012 genome, ORF9, exhibits ~30% amino acid identity to ORF7a of the SARS-related coronavirus. Functional analysis showed ORF4a protein can activate IFN-ฮฒ production, whereas ORF3a can regulate NF-ฮบB production. We also screened the spike-mediated virus entry using the spike-pseudotyped retroviruses system, although failed to find any fully permissive cells. Our results expand the knowledge on the genetic diversity of bat coronaviruses. Continuous screening of bat viruses will help us further understand the important role played by bats in coronavirus evolution and transmission. mdpi.com
Bat Coronaviruses in China During the past two decades, three zoonotic coronaviruses have been identified as the cause of large-scale disease outbreaksโ€“Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and Swine Acute Diarrhea Syndrome (SADS). SARS and MERS emerged in 2003 and 2012, respectively, and caused a worldwide pandemic that claimed thousands of human lives, while SADS struck the swine industry in 2017. They have common characteristics, such as they are all highly pathogenic to humans or livestock, their agents originated from bats, and two of them originated in China. Thus, it is highly likely that future SARS- or MERS-like coronavirus outbreaks will originate from bats, and there is an increased probability that this will occur in China. Therefore, the investigation of bat coronaviruses becomes an urgent issue for the detection of early warning signs, which in turn minimizes the impact of such future outbreaks in China. The purpose of the review is to summarize the current knowledge on viral diversity, reservoir hosts, and the geographical distributions of bat coronaviruses in China, and eventually we aim to predict virus hotspots and their cross-species transmission potential. mdpi.com

Immune System Modulation and Viral Persistence in Bats: Understanding Viral Spillover Bats harbor a myriad of viruses and some of these viruses may have spilled over to other species including humans. Spillover events are rare and several factors must align to create the โ€œperfect stormโ€ that would ultimately lead to a spillover. One of these factors is the increased shedding of virus by bats. Several studies have indicated that bats have unique defense mechanisms that allow them to be persistently or latently infected with viruses. Factors leading to an increase in the viral load of persistently infected bats would facilitate shedding of virus. This article reviews the unique nature of bat immune defenses that regulate virus replication and the various molecular mechanisms that play a role in altering the balanced batโ€“virus relationship. mdpi.com
Bats and Coronaviruses Bats are speculated to be reservoirs of several emerging viruses including coronaviruses (CoVs) that cause serious disease in humans and agricultural animals. These include CoVs that cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) and severe acute diarrhea syndrome (SADS). Bats that are naturally infected or experimentally infected do not demonstrate clinical signs of disease. These observations have allowed researchers to speculate that bats are the likely reservoirs or ancestral hosts for several CoVs. In this review, we follow the CoV outbreaks that are speculated to have originated in bats. We review studies that have allowed researchers to identify unique adaptation in bats that may allow them to harbor CoVs without severe disease. We speculate about future studies that are critical to identify how bats can harbor multiple strains of CoVs and factors that enable these viruses to โ€œjumpโ€ from bats to other mammals. We hope that this review will enable readers to identify gaps in knowledge that currently exist and initiate a dialogue amongst bat researchers to share resources to overcome present limitations. mdpi.com

Bat Research Networks and Viral Surveillance: Gaps and Opportunities in Western Asia Bat research networks and viral surveillance are assumed to be at odds due to seemingly conflicting research priorities. Yet human threats that contribute to declines in bat populations globally also lead to increased transmission and spread of bat-associated viruses, which may pose a threat to global health and food security. In this review, we discuss the importance of and opportunities for multidisciplinary collaborations between bat research networks and infectious disease experts to tackle shared threats that jeopardize bat conservation as well as human and animal health. Moreover, we assess research effort on bats and bat-associated viruses globally, and demonstrate that Western Asia has limited published research and represents a gap for coordinated bat research. The lack of bat research in Western Asia severely limits our capacity to identify and mitigate region-specific threats to bat populations and detect interactions between bats and incidental hosts that promote virus spillover. We detail a regional initiative to establish the first bat research network in Western Asia (i.e., the Western Asia Bat Research Network, WAB-Net), with the aim of integrating ecological research on bats with virus surveillance to find โ€œwin-winโ€ solutions that promote bat conservation and safeguard public and animal health across the region. mdpi.com

Discovery and Characterization of Novel Bat Coronavirus Lineages from Kazakhstan Coronaviruses are positive-stranded RNA viruses that infect a variety of hosts, resulting in a range of symptoms from gastrointestinal illness to respiratory distress. Bats are reservoirs for a high diversity of coronaviruses, and focused surveillance detected several strains genetically similar to MERS-coronavirus, SARS-coronavirus, and the human coronaviruses 229E and NL63. The bat fauna of central Asia, which link China to eastern Europe, are relatively less studied than other regions of the world. Kazakhstan is the worldโ€™s ninth largest country; however, little is understood about the prevalence and diversity of bat-borne viruses. In this study, bat guano was collected from bat caves in three different sites of southern Kazakhstan that tested positive for coronaviruses. Our phylogenetic reconstruction indicates these are novel bat coronaviruses that belong to the genus Alphacoronavirus. In addition, two distinct lineages of Kazakhstan bat coronaviruses were detected. Both lineages are closely related to bat coronaviruses from China, France, Spain, and South Africa, suggesting that co-circulation of coronaviruses is common in multiple bat species with overlapping geographical distributions. Our study highlights the need for collaborative efforts in understudied countries to increase integrated surveillance capabilities toward better monitoring and detection of infectious diseases. mdpi.com

27. DARPA collection of viruses in Uganda Sent to Stuart Nichols - Atlanta CDC BSL4 Discovery and Characterization of Bukakata orbivirus (Reoviridae:Orbivirus), a Novel Virus from a Ugandan Bat https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/11/3/209/htm Supplementary Materials https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/11/3/209/s1

Discovery and Characterization of Bukakata orbivirus (Reoviridae:Orbivirus), a Novel Virus from a Ugandan Bat While serological and virological evidence documents the exposure of bats to medically-important arboviruses, their role as reservoirs or amplifying hosts is less well-characterized. We describe a novel orbivirus (Reoviridae:Orbivirus) isolated from an Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus leachii) trapped in 2013 in Uganda and named Bukakata orbivirus. This is the fifth orbivirus isolated from a bat, however genetic information had previously only been available for one bat-associated orbivirus. We performed whole-genome sequencing on Bukakata orbivirus and three other bat-associated orbiviruses (Fomede, Ife, and Japanaut) to assess their phylogenetic relationship within the genus Orbivirus and develop hypotheses regarding potential arthropod vectors. Replication kinetics were assessed for Bukakata orbivirus in three different vertebrate cell lines. Lastly, qRT-PCR and nested PCR were used to determine the prevalence of Bukakata orbivirus RNA in archived samples from three populations of Egyptian fruit bats and one population of cave-associated soft ticks in Uganda. Complete coding sequences were obtained for all ten segments of Fomede, Ife, and Japanaut orbiviruses and for nine of the ten segments for Bukakata orbivirus. Phylogenetic analysis placed Bukakata and Fomede in the tick-borne orbivirus clade and Ife and Japanaut within the Culicoides/phlebotomine sandfly orbivirus clade. Further, Bukakata and Fomede appear to be serotypes of the Chobar Gorge virus species. Bukakata orbivirus replicated to high titers (106โ€“107 PFU/mL) in Vero, BHK-21 [C-13], and R06E (Egyptian fruit bat) cells. Preliminary screening of archived bat and tick samples do not support Bukakata orbivirus presence in these collections, however additional testing is warranted given the phylogenetic associations observed. This study provided complete coding sequence for several bat-associated orbiviruses and in vitro characterization of a bat-associated orbivirus. Our results indicate that bats may play an important role in the epidemiology of viruses in the genus Orbivirus and further investigation is warranted into vector-host associations and ongoing surveillance efforts. mdpi.com

I questioned why Jacobs, an engineering company involved in testing bioweapon dissemination systems at Dugway, would acquire CH2M, a firm that builds biolabs for the Pentagon in former Soviet states. I noted that Jacobs acquired CH2M in December 2017, and just a year later, they secured a significant $785 million defense contract from the Pentagon. This raises concerns about the connections between defense contracts and bioweapons research.

Aspidistra - Schneier on Security Aspidistra was a World War II man-in-the-middle attack. The vulnerability that made it possible was that German broadcast stations were mostly broadcasting the same content from a central source; but during air raids, transmitters in the target area were switched off to prevent them being used for radio direction-finding of the target. The exploit involved the very powerful (500KW) Aspidistra transmitter, coupled to a directional antenna farm. With that power, they could make it sound like a local station in the target area. With a staff of fake announcers, a fake German band, and recordings of recent speeches from high-ranking Nazis, they would smoothly switch from merely relaying the German network to emulating it with their own staff. They could then make modifications to news broadcasts, occasionally creating panic and confusion... schneier.com

Sefton Delmer. Corsaire des ondes de sa Majestรฉ This document deals with the subversive operations carried out by the British during the Second World War, using Black Radio as a means of propaganda in order to undermine the enemyโ€™s war effort. Indeed, if the Germans were considered as the masters of White Propaganda, the British would soon become the true specialists of a new form of psychological warfare: Black Propaganda. A team was set up in England under the orders of a journalist called Sefton Delmer, who had spent many years in Germany. He spoke perfect German and knew German society and its social customs. We will define the different โ€œcoloursโ€ of the propaganda carried out and then study to what extent these actions were successful in the struggle for victory in Europe and how the waves were used as an efficient weapon of deception directed towards the Reich and its allies. journals.openedition.org

Through postcards, court documents, and pirate radio programs, Delmer and the rest of the secret service infiltrated the minds of the German people, using elements of violence, sex, and death in their stories to subtlety break down the morale of the Nazis.

Iโ€™ve been exploring the potential threats posed by state-sponsored biological attacks, particularly focusing on China's biological warfare capabilities. My research includes various studies, including a Master's thesis and analyses by experts like Dany Shoham. Iโ€™ve delved into the Wuhan Institute's activities, the use of primates in research, and historical context, drawing parallels to past U.S. operations. This investigation aims to uncover the logistics and implications of biological warfare research in China, acknowledging that the findings could lead to significant insights or remain inconclusive.

There are perhaps 21 species of Taiwan macaque (Macaca cyclopis, only distributed in Taiwan with 7000 individuals) and douc langur (Pygathrix nemaeus, only recorded in Hainan in 1892) are counted. Loris (Nycticebus spp.) and gibbons (Hylobates spp.) mainly range in Yunnan, with some in Guangxi and Hainan. Langurs (Presbytis spp. and Trachypithecus spp.) are mainly in Southwest China and Guangxi. Snub-nosed monkeys (Pygathrix spp.) are in Southwest China, with some in Gansu, Shaanxi, and Hubei. The species of macaques have wide distribution in China and range mostly south of Yellow River. The stumptail macaque (Macaca arctoides) is in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, and Fujian; the Assamese macaque (Macaca assamensis) in Yunnan, Guangxi, and Tibet; the pigtail macaque (Macaca nemestrina) in Yunnan; the Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana) is endemic to China and in Southwest and Middle China, southern parts of Gansu, and Shaanxi, Guangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang; and the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) has the widest distribution in China and is mostly in the areas to the south of Yellow River but mainly in the southern part of China. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

In September 2021, I shared the original rejection letter for the DEFUSE proposal, highlighting concerns about potential GoF/DURC work and lack of risk mitigation plans. Over the next three years, Peter Daszak dismissed these claims as conspiracy theories. A recent bipartisan report corroborates my earlier statements, detailing Daszak's misleading claims and the proposal's shortcomings. The review team ultimately rejected DEFUSE due to inadequate ethical considerations and risk management. Key documents related to DEFUSE may soon be lost if not preserved.

@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf

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

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

Page not found - United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability oversight.house.gov

@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. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป You first learnt about it thanks to DRASTIC. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป 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 ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf

6/29 DEFUSE was Daszak's proposal for the PREEMPT program launched by DARPA. The director of DARPAโ€™s 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/

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)

โ€œThis Shouldnโ€™t Happenโ€: Inside the Virus-Hunting Nonprofit at the Center of the Lab-Leak Controversy Chasing scientific renown, grant dollars, and approval from Dr. Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak transformed the environmental nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance into a government-funded sponsor of risky, cutting-edge virus research in both the U.S. and Wuhan, China. Drawing on more than 100,000 leaked documents, a V.F. investigation shows how an organization dedicated to preventing the next pandemic found itself suspected of helping start one. vanityfair.com

@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

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

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: ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป 'not currently recommending', ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป 'potentially fundable should additional funding become available' (!!?)

@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf

26/29 Look also at the very last sentence: ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป '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.

Iโ€™m excited to see our work gaining recognition, especially from figures like John Ratcliffe and Marco Rubio. The DRASTIC group's efforts in documenting and archiving crucial information about the lab leak hypothesis have been acknowledged multiple times. I appreciate the mentions in books by Rand Paul and Robert Kennedy Jr., highlighting our role in uncovering significant findings. As we look ahead, I believe a thorough investigation and accountability for those responsible are essential. I'm eager to continue this important work.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Welcome to the Illusion of Consensus podcast. I'm Jay Bhattacharya, joined by Charles Rixey, a former Marine Corps member with expertise in nuclear and biological defense. Since the pandemic began, Rixey has been involved with the citizen science group Drastic, which has worked to investigate the origins of COVID-19, particularly the lab leak theory. In early 2020, key scientists, including Tony Fauci, sought to suppress discussions around the virus's potential lab origins, fearing reputational damage. Rixey highlights the significance of the furin cleavage site in the virus and discusses the controversial DEFUSE proposal, which aimed to engineer coronaviruses. He emphasizes the need for transparency and truth in scientific discourse to rebuild public trust and ensure future safety. Thank you for joining us.

Speaker 0: Welcome everybody to the illusion of consensus podcast. I am professor Jay Bhattacharya. And today I have with me, a guest who, is has been pretty closely involved in the the debate and discussion, over the origins of the virus, Charles Rixey. Thanks for agreeing to come on the show, Charles. Speaker 1: It's very good to be here. It was very good nice to get to be introduced to you. Speaker 0: So, Charles, I I should, I should tell people about about your background because it's so interesting and unique and, just so people understand where you're coming from. So you you were once in the marine corps and that you worked on in on nuclear and biological defense. You worked on modeling in nuclear and biological defense. Since the pandemic start, you've been closely involved with a group called drastic. We'll talk more about drastic later in in the podcast. But, just as a thumbnail sketch, drastic has been, especially in 2020, was one of the few scientific groups, essentially like a group of of citizen scientists who got together and said, look, the story about the origins of the virus we're hearing don't doesn't make sense and developed a lot of evidence that kept the lab leak story alive when it was deemed a conspiracy theory by people like Tony Fauci. And then, you also have a fantastic substack, which I've been reading in preparation for this this call called Prometheus Unbound. So what I leave out? What else because seems like that's a perfect background for what we're gonna talk about, which is where did this virus come from? Speaker 1: No. That's that's basically me. I had a professional interest and then I got I got sick very early in March of 2020. And it was while I was sick that I started, looking at initially just the the data, the epidemiological data. So I was trying to understand it and trying to I saw the reaction to the lockdowns and from my family and friends. And so I wanted to to kind of be able to talk to them about, okay, what was actually happening, how how should they be afraid, what should they do to help mitigate, their concerns. And then after digging into the data, I started also becoming interested in the origin. And from there, literally for the last 4 years now, I've been working this is my only job. I stopped my job and everything else, and this is all I've been doing. So Speaker 0: Well, I'm glad you have been doing that because I think, you've uncovered a lot of and and also compiled a lot of very interesting evidence, which some of which we will discuss in the midst of, during this podcast. I just say that in in preparing for this, it seems to me that this is a perfect example of how unscrupulous scientific leaders can create an illusion of consensus in favor of some idea, in this case, where did this virus come from, that essentially tries to suppress the possibility of debate at all. And they do it in a because the the the kind of, the the it's it's it's actually the the conclusion, for instance, that this virus emerged from a lab that is actually quite dangerous to the scientific leaders. You know, people like Tony Fauci, people like Francis Collins, the head of National Institute of Health, people like Jeremy Farrar, the head of the Welcome Trust. It's quite dangerous because these leaders, they were the ones who put in place sort of programs to do the kind of gain of function work, like, do the kind of, like, pandemic preparedness work that may have led to the pandemic starting in the first place. So if people come to say that, my goodness, this virus probably came from a lab experiment and then we asked the question, well, who supported that lab experiment? It's the reputations of these leaders that's really at stake. So we we kinda have a motive to start with. So I wanna I wanna go back in time, and then we'll just go somewhat chronologically just to get get some sense. The the pandemic starts in, officially starts in sometime in January 2020, maybe December 2019. They call it COVID 19 because it's December 2019 in China in China where it's first emerges and then US, the first case is in January 2020. In in late January 2020, the the the the leaders of this country's pandemic response, the scientific leaders, people like Francis Collins, Tony Fauci, they get word from some scientists who've managed to see the sequence of the virus. And these scientists come to them and say, well, you know, this doesn't look like it it is possible that this came from, natural evolutionary process. If I mean, we don't know for certain, but there has certain features, molecular genetic features that look like it might not have started that. What happens? What happened, Charles, when they got that evidence? Speaker 1: Well, when they got that evidence, they they freaked out. And what they're you're absolutely right in saying that all of the actions that were taken place by these scientists, especially during the last week of January and the 1st week of February 2020, all those actions were taken to protect themselves, not the people that they were supposed not the public health or anything that they were supposed to represent, that they they sworn to the constitution to uphold when they took their posts. In the case of Fauci, for instance, This was all about protecting their own interests, their own covering up their own ties, covering up any aspect of the virus that appeared to be unnatural because it would tie right back to, Fauci and the NIH and all the funding from the US government. So, yes, they were trying to protect themselves instead of the people. And Speaker 0: I mean, this is the beginning of the pandemic. At a time when they these are, you know, people who are supposed to be in charge of the public health response or at least advising the public health response. Rather than focusing on that, they're organizing meetings, essentially trying to to cover up the idea that it might have come out of a lab. Speaker 1: Yes. That's correct. In fact, the famous February 1st teleconference that, we've we've all heard about, that had, Anthony Fauci, it had Francis Collins, and then it also had Jeremy Farrar, who was the head of the Wellcome Trust. So Speaker 0: That's a that's a that's a UK based research organization that funded a lot of, a lot of pandemic preparedness work. Right? Speaker 1: Correct. And and there was so so if you look at the big picture of of public funding of of biomedical research across the world. The NIH and US other US government agencies cover 70% of all of that. And then the Wellcome Trust covers another, I want to say, 2%. So we're talking about the leading public health research funding people on the planet and you had leaders ultimately for the pandemic response from 4 countries. There was the US, there was the UK with Patrick Vallance and Gerry Mifferar. Patrick Vallance was the Prime Minister's Scientific Advisor and then Fauci obviously led ours. Then you had Marion Koopmans who played a central role in the Netherlands and also Christian and several other people from Germany. So you had 4 of the biggest Western nations, all basically colluding on what their scientific response is going to be. And the big one of the big questions they were trying to suppress was in the sense instance, the furin cleavage site, which was the biggest single, suspicious element of the viral genome. Speaker 0: So so let's just go back to January 2020 that that you have you have some some scientists that reach out to people like Tony Fauci, and they say molecular geneticists, right, but an evolutionary biologist reach out to Tony Fauci, that then say, look, we found this this aspect of the virus, viral sequence. And what exactly is a furin cleavage site? Why is that so important? Speaker 1: So typically, I would use a graphic to show this, but a furin cleavage site is basically a receptor that is on a bunch of different cells throughout the human body and what's really bad is the best way to compare it with the original SARS virus. The original SARS virus had two main receptors that it used and those receptors allowed it to go through different cells throughout the body, mostly in the bloodstream and some other tissues. A furin cleavage site is much different. If a virus has this furin cleavage site, area, then that opens up the lungs, not just the upper respiratory tract, but the lungs, the nervous system, and the brain. So this virus and and this has now been shown in thousands of of of studies, but this virus because the urine cleavage site in particular, it it adds that it makes it much easier to infect the lungs and then other tissues including the brain. Speaker 0: So the virus enters by attaching to a receptor, in this case, the a the ACE 2 receptor, which is found in the lungs. The part of the virus, the way it enters, it it's helped greatly by, this this furin cleavage site thing because essentially, cells our cells have, sort of enzymes that cut at a the at this furin cleavage site. Speaker 1: Correct. Speaker 0: That cut allows the virus to, like, get off some of the the the the stuff that it doesn't need. Stuff that needs enters the cells and it replicates themselves. And so it's like a ticket into human cells in a whole bunch of different parts of our body. Speaker 1: That's correct. And this virus is basically, it can go through much it can reach much more of a proportion of the body's tissues, which makes it with other mechanisms, makes it more highly transmissible. Speaker 0: So so molecular biologists are looking at this, in January 2020, and they're saying, gosh, this is a coronavirus with a furin cleavage site. That's odd. Most coronavirus in fact, I don't think any other coronaviruses have this furin cleavage site. Speaker 1: Not any not any within this clade. Speaker 0: No. And other bat coronaviruses, the sarboca, coronaviruses, they don't have a furin cleavage site? Speaker 1: That's correct. Coronaviruses have been pretty broad subsection of viruses, but no coronavirus that could recombine with SARS CoV-two had a fewer in cleavage site. And so it's because within its family where it can recombine, none of those viruses have this. And in addition, it looks this was an insert into the genome. When you take the original SARS virus and you take SARS CoV-two, the spike protein for SARS CoV-two is 19 amino acids longer And those 19 amino acids difference basically comes from 4 inserts into the genome and that's how they were immediately apparent because they didn't exist in any other virus. Speaker 0: Now there are other I mean, I've seen folks who make a counterargument. They'll say, well, look, that 19, sort of sequence, 19 19 base base sequence, you can find in other organisms. Speaker 1: Well, I was so I was referring to amino acids there, but in particular the 19 nuclei types Speaker 0: I don't mean base pairs, I meant amino acids, sorry about that, yeah. Speaker 1: Okay. So yes, they will say well, but the key to all of this is that there's nothing that could it could have given this virus that property. It's it's impossible in nature because just because of the only other places that this sequence appears is it would never interact with the virus. Speaker 0: Let's just okay. So let's put ourselves again back in January 20 not 2020. Molecular geneticists have come up with have analyzed this and say, well, gosh, that looks odd. Maybe it's not definitive. We don't know for certain. I mean, recombination events randomly might have could have happened. I mean, things are it's there's some of some of the molecular genesis are saying it's really unlikely and others are saying, well, may may it's possible. Who knows? There's a there's a real debate happening among molecular geneticists about whether this could be an evolutionary origin or not in January 2020. Tony Fauci hears about this. And, there's a paper about, like, HIV inserts and all that put out by some Indian scientists, and they freak out and hold a conference. A little conference, as you said, whole with with a whole bunch of, like, very, very highfaluting leaders of the scientific community. And what do they what comes out of that? Speaker 1: Well, what comes out of it is well, I'll just state that when I talked about those 4 inserts, one of those 4 inserts was where the fear and cleavage site was and then the other 3 were the main subject of that other paper. But it was those 4 inserts that this that these scientists were terrified of because they they were they were out of they didn't seem to come from anywhere, and they couldn't be explained, and they look highly suspicious because of what they do, what they provide for the spike protein. And their main so if you look at this through that lens of those suspicious epitopes that looked like they might have been engineered, The goal of this meeting was to explain away those, what the promoter called epitopes, and basically control the narrative from thereafter as to what or where these things came from and what this means. And ultimately, it meant that they set a narrative and they also, as they were saying the narrative, they started censoring any papers that were coming out. They tried to question the premises of what they were saying. Speaker 0: So what you're saying, Charles, is that they decided at this meeting in late January 2020, early February 2020, that even though there were scientists who were saying that this looks very odd, that it's not something that might come from, a evolutionary process, a natural evolutionary process. There are elements of this virus that look odd, that they decided that that idea was not true and that they worked to suppress the the the counternarrative that they saw. Speaker 1: And it's not that it wasn't true because we now know from their emails, from FOIA documents that they did believe that it was highly likely that this was engineered, but they made the decision explicitly for geopolitical reasons. They didn't want to start anything with China. They didn't want Speaker 0: to I saw an email from Francis Collins essentially saying exactly that, Speaker 1: that Speaker 0: we don't want our Chinese colleagues to be feeling like they are under pressure. They won't cooperate with us if we say this. Speaker 1: That's exactly right. And they didn't want it to hurt their own interest because we're talking about the people that are directly responsible for 70% of global scientific funding or biomedical funding. And so, of course, they're petrified because and they also the other half of this was 2 days later, there was another meeting. And this meeting included Ralph Barrick, Peter Daschick, and other implicated individuals. Speaker 0: Ralph Barrick is a scientist at the University of North Carolina who worked on, bat coronaviruses for for a lot of his career. Speaker 1: Correct. Speaker 0: Peter Daszak, he is a, I mean, I don't know what to call him, a scientific entrepreneur who's the head of the the EcoHealth Alliance. EcoHealth Alliance is funded by Tony Fauci's, National Institute of of Allergy Infectious Disease, and has contracts to do work with the Wuhan lab. They're kind of a go between the US and the Chinese lab. Speaker 1: That's correct. And so their goal in the February 1st meeting was to figure out what narrative they were going to do. And then on February 3rd, they brought in these implicated scientists and also the presidential science advisor, Kelvin Drogemeier and FBI officials and other things. And that basically they had already decided, okay, this is the narrative we're going to set. And then from that, the presidential science advisor actually basically colluded with Fauci to hide the ties with Wuhan from the president and his National Security Council. And this is something that I pointed out from discoveries I made in FOIA documents and later in 2021 when I met in person with congressional investigators, they confirmed to me that that was true, that the President's own science advisor had worked with Fauci to hide this information from the president himself. Speaker 0: Okay. So, I mean, that's shocking enough that the the the US president, you know, president Trump didn't get to know this fact that that early. I do wonder what what difference it would have made, but it's it's it's interesting to speculate about. Publicly, though, what they do is then they they they the some of the people that were involved in those meetings, not the not the leaders, not not Jeremy Farrar, not Tony Fauci, but others like, someone like someone like Christian Andersen, who's another scientist, who actually emailed Fauci saying it might be from a lab. He writes a paper called the proximal origins paper published in Nature Medicine on March 17, 2020 with a few other colleagues of his, essentially saying there's no chance that this is a lab origin virus. Speaker 1: That's correct. And once again, that paper was a direct product of this February 1st meeting. And the entire goal is the the authors have come out, Christian Andersen, actually even way back 3 years ago, I even interacted with him a little bit before I was blocked. And what they claim is that the goal of this paper wasn't to completely rule out the lab origin. However, the same day, March 17, 2020, that that paper came out, Christian Andersen released a press release that was published, from his institute in California where he works. This the the title literally said that they ruled out a lab origin. It said that this virus came from nature. So they they wanna pretend that that's not what they were doing. But when you just look at everything else they were saying outside of that paper, they and then Fauci directly was quoting this paper as saying this is the evidence that this virus isn't natural. And he he was basically a ghost writing author along with Jeremy Farrar of this entire narrative of the they approved the wording of the paper, and they provided edits that we found out about when they were discussing the drafts in these FOIA documents and these Slack emails. Speaker 0: Right. So I mean, that's, of course, is unethical, right? When you have a scientific paper, you're supposed to say every single person they contributed to is supposed to be, you know, like, disclosed in an author, especially if they're editing the paper. And here we have the scientific leaders like Jeremy Farrar, and others essentially ghostwriting this paper. And the lead author is somebody who had actually, ironically, had emailed Fauci, alerting him to the possibility that it might be a lab leak. Here now set writing a paper that's used in in public to say that it can't possibly be a lab leak. In fact, now lab leak has now at this point, has become a byword for conspiracy theory, March by March 2020. You're not if you say this, you're not just a conspiracy theorist. You're you're you're a racist. Right? Because what you're saying is, like, you're somehow somehow, if if you alleged that that a it could be a lab leak from a Chinese lab, you're racist against Chinese. Whereas, if you say it came out of some weird cultural practice in of, eating exotic animals out of a wet market, then you're not a racist. Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much. And the worst part about it was that that paper ultimately was seen as of now 5,900,000 times, which for scientific paper is insane and at the time, it was the 2nd most viewed or the second well, let's call it all metrics score, but basically the 2nd most impactful paper in the history of modern science because it was so heavily promoted and then it was used in thousands of newspaper articles even to this day as the evidence, even though we know that they colluded to write it and that they, all 5 authors, we have evidence that all 5 authors believe the opposite of what was stated in the paper when the paper was published. Speaker 0: Okay. So you have essentially what looks to me like a conspiracy by a relatively small group of people. And, you know, I say conspiracy, advisedly. What I mean by conspiracy is, again, just a group of people just with a lot of power, trying to tell the public something that they don't know to be true. They might even know that the opposite to be true, that that in fact it's it's natural origins because they have an interest. And these and these are and so this and and, and it's successful. Like, most people at this point understand that lab leak is a is not possible. Like, the most of the world thinks it's it's, it's a, it's a natural it's a natural origin virus. Okay. So now I wanna I wanna talk about drastic. This is the group that you, you and, well, like, 20 other people, belong to, formed an ad hoc group of of citizen scientists. Or I so I have the I have the the the acronym fantastic acronym, dedicated research and scientific team investigating COVID 19. Drastic. I don't know who came up with that, but that was pretty pretty brilliant marketing if you ask me. It it comes together, essentially on on the web. And, it during the time when everyone thinks it's a conspiracy theory to say that the COVID origin is a is a lab leak, these this group of people, which includes, historians like you, but also like molecular geneticists, molecular biologists, internet sleuths, someone named the seeker who somehow has access to, to databases of viruses within the Wuhan lab itself that had been have been deleted. And, what comes to get for the what comes out of this process is a counternarrative. A counternarrative based on facts that were uncovered and and and and put out slowly over time. Can you tell me about drastic and your your involvement with it? What what did it accomplish actually? I we'll let me talk about that after after you tell us what what what what is it and what it what are you involved? Speaker 1: What it is is, a group of mostly scientists. There I would I've actually kept a record of all the members and everything that each of us has written. And so about 70%, 75% of the 20 ish members are scientists. And then there's a group of other just researchers like myself who have a research background or a journalist background. And I happen to be the only person with a military background and with with more experience in responding to biological weapons and things like that. And and also I've worked with the Department of State for 8 years. So so I have a more of a practical, nonscientific background. But really, it's just a group of and like you said, with the Seeker or just all of our members come from a variety of different academic scientific backgrounds. All of us were independently interested. We had questions about the origin and over time aggregated on Twitter. They actually started the first couple got together in right in early February of 2020. And in May of well, and so I don't know if you want to stop there before I go into like the specific things we did, but that's the general outline. 75% of our members are from the Eastern Hemisphere. So this is a very global 4 different continents, very global group of individuals. Speaker 0: And you find yourself on Twitter. You find each other on Twitter despite weird Twitter sense 1.0 censorship. You still manage I mean, Twitter in that sense was open enough so that you could still have these discussions. Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah. Speaker 0: One of the things that struck me about drastic was this, the the the access that some members of drastic had and then revealing it to the world of of these of these sequences of viruses that, that the the Wuhan lab were were playing with at the time. The Wuhan lab, had contracts to to bring viruses out of bat caves everywhere, bring it into the city into the city center of Wuhan where the Wuhan Institute of Virology is located and do experiments on those those viruses. Generally, when people do these kinds of experiments, they will, they'll share the data in the in this, like, global database of the sequences of these viruses and so on. But, it turns out based on the work of drastic, if I understand correctly, and please correct me if I'm not if I got this wrong, many of those sequences had had had been either not uploaded or deleted off off of these world databases. And somehow, drastic had had gotten access or it saved those sequences. They've been uploaded by Wuhan scientists to this to this global database of virus. Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's it's a little off. The there there was a viral database that had thousands of the the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been collecting, and it was an online access you could access it. We the the there was actually somebody else who noticed that the database had gone down. They went through Internet archive, and it was they they remain anonymous. That person brought it to drastic, and drastic started looking at, okay, what what what sequences are here. We started going back through all the research, and, actually, this is before I joined. But what they really started doing was, okay, we saw that on September 12, this database had been taken offline and then we also saw that the same night that on December 30, 2019, they were Shijin Li, the main virologist leading the lab, the main lab that has all the attention at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, On December 30th, she went back and made edits to the database even though it was offline. And so we couldn't see all the sequences that were there, but we did know that it was taken down. And then and we also have to note that the EcoHealth Alliance and many other places should have all this data and so they should be subpoenaed. I'm sure they are, but they should be subpoenaed for it. But from there, the other members are drastic. Like, the seeker found this thesis that was talked about this outbreak that took place in Mojang mine and in Southern China, Yunnan province of a SARS like virus. And then it was that mine from which many of the most interesting, pre SARS CoV 2 sequences were found. And so we were able to discover that link and some a couple from India named Mona and Rahul, they wrote the paper. The the seeker found this this paper in Chinese on a Chinese server. It was a thesis. And then Mona and Rahul were able to look at the sequences and kind of say, okay, well, this must be the mine. And they discovered that the Wuhan Institute or Xi Jingli had changed the name of this progenitor virus called ratg13 that looks very suspicious. And they discovered that that virus linked back to that mine from around that time along with other suspicious sequences. Speaker 0: I've seen that mentioned as a possible progenitor, but it doesn't have a furin cleavage site in it. Speaker 1: No. And we actually think, now that we look at it, it seems more likely that that sequence was tampered with itself, to to make it appear more distinct from the the SARS CoV-two virus. And so but drastic really found that we brought it to the attention of the media. And then they also other members, including myself, whenever I started joining at the outbreak and the suspicious early cases and the epidemiology of it. And also my main focus was the epidemiology stuff, but also tracking the scientific censorship. Because when I first joined drastic, I was looking at all the FOIA documents to end looking for and making discoveries based on those, such as I was able to show that that Fauci was involved with the censorship before his emails came out. And that's how I first came to the attention of of congressional investigators. Speaker 0: So there there And then Speaker 1: and then all of that kind of we all kind of coalesced. And I honestly believe in my heart that that what drastic did largely before I even got there in the 1st year in 2020, leading up to the World Health Organization investigation and its report, which was published on March 30th. I I think that without the pressure of those discoveries that drastic made, the the, the new Biden administration and Anthony Blinken, because of that, they ultimately rejected the WHO report on the origin. And I think it was because of the public pressure that we were able to get by exposing all of these suspicious links. Speaker 0: Right. Speaker 1: So And then all that and then, of course, all of that ultimately led into, the release of the diffuse proposal. Speaker 0: We'll get there. I wanna go I wanna tell the story in a little in more detail. But before we go onto that, I wanna just ask you about a question about the what you found regarding the censorship activities. Like, what specifically what mechanisms would Tony Fauci use to try to censor scientific debate on these topics? Well What leverage did he use? Speaker 1: So there are many levers, some of which have become well known now because of the Twitter files. But one other one that that I that I kind of discovered, I went through the Internet Internet archives and looked at, the the numbers of followers that, certain scientists had, certain well connected scientists who are very vocal about the the natural origin in defense of it and who were also connected to these censorship regimes. And what I discovered is that in the 3rd week of March of 2020, a whole series of different implicated scientists suddenly had their accounts verified on Twitter, which at the time could only be done like Twitter had to choose that. It's not like now where you pay to have a check mark and they were verified. Speaker 0: Thing about my, my Twitter. I joined it August 2021, and I tried to get verified. I'm a professor in a medical school. I have a lot of publications, and Twitter said I wasn't notable enough. And so I'm like, okay. I guess I'm not notable enough. Speaker 1: Well, that's also because you weren't the recipient of so there was censorship and and suppression of certain people, but then there was also artificial boosting of others. And that's what I discovered is that there was exponential growth. For instance, Trevor Bedford, who is one of the implicated scientists in this, who is involved behind the scenes with Proxima Origin, he he went from, like, 14,000 followers to 400,000 followers in a couple of months, and I went and crunched the numbers. And for a 6 week period, this unknown random phylogenetics expert was gaining more followers per day than Joe Rogan, who had 8,000,000 followers at the same time. So so right after that, we know that that there was major censorship regimes going on. But then the other the other, like, anecdote I'll I'll I'll just talk about briefly is that what what Fauci was doing in addition to working with these social media sites and Google, etcetera, He was he was also, censoring the science itself. And the way that he did this, he he he focused on the major journals. And and so I looked at the top 6 journals and and their sub journals like Science, Nature, Cell, New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and, and one other that I can't think of right now, but there were 6 that I looked at. And up until about a year ago, there'd been 258 articles that had some tie to the to the SARS CoV 2 origin. Only 7 of those were open to a lab origin. And then there was a big chunk that were unbiased, and then there were oh, gosh. Can't remember the number now. Basically, what it amounts to is that in the top 6 journals, there was a 19 to 1 ratio of articles in favor of natural origin versus a lab origin. But in all other journals, in all other journals, the ratio was 1.6 to 1. So it was really just in the top journals that most scientists see where they focused this suppression of any voices besides So I wanna I wanna take Speaker 0: the time to I mean, that's really interesting. And I you know, it wasn't just on the origins question. I I think if you talk look look about lockdowns, for instance, and lockdown Absolutely. Yeah. So I mean, I think it was and of course, on on early treatment, on vaccine efficacy, on a whole range of topics, I think you find some very similar kind of, vaccine efficacy, on a whole range of topics, I think you find some very similar kind of kind of numbers. But I wanna focus on one particular paper that gained a lot of attention, written by Michael Warby, on on the on the natural origins. And it's I think probably makes the most, important counterargument to the lab origin idea. The the this this paper, what it what it, it's it's an analysis of the early cases in Wuhan, China. The the the Wuhan Institute of Virology is located in obviously, in Wuhan, and the and the wet market where the the virus supposedly emerged in the natural origins lore, is is, you know, a few miles away. And this paper, it, like, it it very carefully seems to plot where every single case is, and then notices a fact that, in fact, it's not exactly only one version of the virus that's found. In fact, there's 2 different versions of the virus found, lineage a, lineage b of the virus, in proximity to not to the to the Wuhan laboratory, but in proximity to the wet market. And then they do a calculation of some probability calculation, Bayesian probability calculation, say, well, it's very, very unlikely that if it's a lab origin that you would have 2 different lineages found in proximity to the Wuhan, net wet market. And so therefore, it's much more likely to be a natural origin than it is to be a lab origin, right? That's the, I think, the story that Warby and et al write. And it's published in like, I forget where it's, like, Nature or that'd be a very prominent place. Speaker 1: There was a couple of them. Science published 2 of them, and then there was another one that along similar lines. And so the first thing to note about that argument is that the authors of that paper included the proximal origin authors. So the proximal origin authors I don't even know why they would do this, make it so obvious, but they literally included the approximate origin authors as authors on these papers. And the second thing I'll note is that when those papers were published, there was a wave of media articles and attention that was paid to it. So I tracked different waves. There were different short bursts of massive numbers of supporting news articles and stuff every time one of these papers came out. But in the paper itself, there's so many flaws. But the first and most basic one is that this analysis is based on data that was given by the Chinese, and it shows there were according to the Chinese, there was 174 cases. They used the World Health Organization reports official numbers that were given to them by China to which they offered no rebuttal. They just took them at face value. And so why should we assume that the Chinese would not have manipulated cherry picked or just there's no way to verify this data. So there's literally no way to say, okay, this point on the map, this, geo coordinate that was given is actually where that case came from. It's literally just they were handed sheets of paper with this data, and they took it. Speaker 0: So So so one one, you have to trust that the Chinese were reporting it. They were okay. So that's okay. That's one. But let's let's say they were. Like, I mean, I don't you don't you you shouldn't exclude that as a possibility. Is the paper right? Speaker 1: Well, even even in that case, the paper makes several errors. Without getting into too much detail, the way they chose their their little drawings, everything to the there was Weibo data that they referenced where they where I know for a fact that Michael Roby cherry picked the data because he didn't use the entire dataset because I analyze the same data. And, basically, what that was was Weibo is a like a a chat platform used by Chinese. And in Wuhan during the pandemic, there was a period of time where you could request emergency pickup because the majority of people don't own cars, and they couldn't they might have to walk really far to get to the hospital. And so there was this emergency alert system set up, and there was ultimately 1100 of these calls made and where and and this is really important because when you when you did this, you you had to show like your personal ID and stuff to show that it was a legit request. Hey, I'm sick and I need to go to the hospital. And what were we did, and this is just one example from the paper, But just within this one dataset, they cherry picked they didn't use the entire 1100. They went through and they chose a certain subset, and then they don't justify what that what the reasoning is for picking it. And I just happened to notice it because I also worked with that data. So there were multiple examples in that paper where they discussed the distribution of cases and then there was a partner paper that looked at the phylogenetics at the sequencing from the 2 lineages and in both papers, they make egregious errors that make the data invalid, but Science published those anyway. In fact, the editors of Science ultimately published them even though several members of Drastic reached out showing the arguments to these things, and they published it anyway. Speaker 0: The I mean, it also seems to me like there's a basic category or, like okay. So let's say let's take it as given that there's 2 lineages there and then that all of those are found only primarily within the wet market. That doesn't mean that it's not, lab origin. Right? So for instance, it could be that, 2 different lineages leaked out of the lab. There that the lab was working on 2 different lineages. That's it's also possible that, one lineage leaks and then there's a very quick evolution. I mean, this this virus obviously evolves very quickly and then lineage b comes out of out of some other an evolutionary process that happens post lab leak. Speaker 1: And they're just Speaker 0: picking up. Right? So so the I mean, that even even if you take it as given and and and you ignore all of the errors that you identified, and and you believe that that that that they haven't cherry picked the data and that that you believe the Chinese data, It doesn't even even by itself, I don't think, establish that there isn't a lab lead. Speaker 1: Correct. And yet but once again, when this paper came out, there were and I went and and calculated. Within 12 hours of that paper being released, there were 29 news articles published Wall Street. I don't know if it was Wall Street Journal, but New York Times, LA Times, all these different papers, the editors of Science, everybody was writing stories in support of the conclusions of this paper even though the conclusions just like in the Proximal Origin were highly questionable and and were completely they they ignored all of the they're still ignoring all the complaints and arguments against it. Speaker 0: Okay. So, let's let's move forward again in time just a little bit. The the the Lancet, which is a prominent medical journal, commissions organizes a commission led by a very very well known economist named Jeffrey Sachs. Mhmm. He he brings on board a lot of the a lot of the top virologists, but he also includes in this some of the, as you say, implicated scientists, like Peter Daszak, for instance, is involved in this Lancet Commission. And they issue a long report, and natural origin features as the primary explanation of that report for the origins of the virus. It was interesting because, a few months after that, Jeffrey Sachs came out and gave an interview saying he was duped. That in fact, that that the, that he didn't understand that some of the most the the the the the scientists that were included in that commission were actually had a very strong vested interest in it coming out a certain way against the idea of a lab lead. You you were you were I see you told me before we started on that you'd actually spoke with Jeffrey Sachs or you or you've had some con some some some opportunity to, like, learn about this. So what so how how did the how did the like, The Lancet is a prominent medical journal. How did they allow this to happen? Speaker 1: Well, the editor of The Lancet is a guy named Richard Horton, who is well known for mixing politics with science in terms of how he handles which articles get published in The Lancet. And Jeffrey Sachs, yes, I talked to him in the fall of 2022 after he'd he'd he'd started coming out in May of that year. And before he the final report was was to be published, and he was saying that, yes, he was duped. He he had we had a really good conversation, and he was telling me that that he couldn't believe that many scientists that he had known for his entire for 40 years had come out and lied directly to his face in in defending all these things. And he, of course, he, of course, when he was putting the commission, he asked for, okay, who are the experts in the fields of virology? And as it turns out, many like members of the Proxima Origin author crew, he asked Peter Daszak himself to come on and help because he knew him from social circles related to Columbia and EcoHealth being based in New York. And so he asked Peter Dasig to come on and kind of help organize that and recommend people for it. And he just Dasig just loaded the entire group with, people who were favorable and in support of this cover up. And it it was and when Sacks slowly came to realize this, he was horrified because he couldn't believe that so many scientists would lie directly to his face. And that's why he ultimately came out, wrote papers, a couple of really important papers and including the ultimate final report from the Lancet Commission. And but he was he finally had to he basically fired all those people from the commission and wrote the origin section himself. And it was kind of like a protest within the overall report. But, yes, he was he talked at length about being directly lied to by many, many scientists, and, he was horrified and disgusted by it. Speaker 0: Before we move on from the Lancet, because I wanna move next, so we basically, I think, done as best I can do, a job of trying to explain the basic argument for the natural origin and also the the the nature of the cover up of the idea that there was a debate about lab leak. I wanna move on next to to what the evidence in favor of a lab leak is, start with diffuse proposal. Before we go on, I wanna just I wanna, like, talk just for a minute about why would all these virologists come out? We already talked about the leaders, people like Tony Fauci, what what incentives they have. But why are virologists, people like Christian Andersen and others, why are they so willing, essentially, to mislead the public about this very, very basic question. Speaker 1: Well, at a fundamental level, it if it affects their livelihoods. The the entire field of virology has been arguing for quite some time about what the limits of experimentation should be with different viruses. And so if what they what they were what we have trusted scientists to do is to act ultimately in the best interest of the public who funds them and to not put the public at risk. But by its very nature, these experiments are incredibly risky. And of course, if it was found that this virus didn't come from nature but came from research tied to the scientists, it would destroy the entire field of virology in the eyes of the public and for good reason. And so this is an existential threat to their to their studies and what they're doing. Speaker 0: Yeah. I mean, it's it's, I I think it is I think you've hit it on the head. Right? So and and for many of them, they may it's, you know, it's one of these things. They may not realize how, how how this fact puts the blinders on them. Like, they they will look at the evidence differently simply because they have that interest, even subconsciously. They may not they might they might not realize that they're lying to someone like Jeffrey Sachs. Right? They're they they may I mean, some of them are lying. They know they're lying, but they but but but for many of them, they just they just say, well, I can't even fathom that we would be in a field that led to this pandemic. That just Speaker 1: could just Speaker 0: I can't I can't even admit it to myself. You lie to yourself first before you lie to others. Okay. So I wanna I wanna turn from because I think we've done as as as good a job as I I know how to do to try to make the case of the natural origins. I'm I'm sure there are other there are other things we could talk about, but I wanna keep this, keep this focused. Let's turn to the evidence of, in favor of the lab origin. And we've already talked about the furan cleavage site, but a lot of honest scientists I know would say, well, that's that's interesting, but it's not enough. So I but I so I wanna talk about some of the some of the evidence that's emerged since the Feuern cleaver site, that evidence emerged in in 2020, early 2020, January. But since then, there've been a lot a number of of developments, I think, that push the evidence in favor of the lab origin story. And I think primary among this is, something that I think you are very closely involved with, Charles, which is the diffuse proposal, which which is a proposal by, I think, the eco health alliance to the, to to to DARPA, Department of Defense kind of contract. And so please tell us about what is this diffuse proposal, what did it propose, and what and what does it say about this national origin versus lab lab leak kind of, debate? Speaker 1: So the DEFUSE proposal, as you said, it was a proposal submitted to DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, on March 27, 2018. And basically, what it proposed what's that? Speaker 0: 2018. Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah. 2018. And what it proposed was, well, there were there's 4 to 5, specific elements of of things that they wanted to do and look for in viruses, in certain coronaviruses. They wanna define stars like coronaviruses, and they wanted to manipulate them in several different ways, basically sewing them to different viruses together using chimera construction. They wanted to insert, cleavage, furin cleavage sites, human specific furin cleavage sites. They wanted to look for viruses that had high ACE2 affinity, and then they wanted to look for viruses that could utilize something called the DC sign receptor. And so these four main elements that were proposed specifically in this proposal happened to appear in only one virus on earth and that is the SARS CoV-two virus, which emerged magically out of the same city where this proposal was proposing to make this exact virus. Speaker 0: And so So just just to just to I wanna I mean I mean, I think you were very clear, but I wanna make sure, like, people understand. So the the group, this this this EcoHealth Alliance led by Peter Daszak, funded by Tony Fauci for other work, they put together a scientific proposal, a research program that they send to the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense and and this research proposal essentially looks like a cookbook for producing the SARS COV 2 virus. Correct. Some of the main the key features of the virus that make it able to infect humans and to go from human to human, and spread the way it has are are that that that that's part of the proposal itself. Speaker 1: Correct. And there's no other virus in nature that even remotely comes close to having all of these 4 elements in the same virus. Speaker 0: So research program put together in 2018. But the defense department turns it down, right? Speaker 1: Correct. And they turned it down for two reasons. The first is that there's clear gain of function work being proposed in the proposal. But within the proposal, they were trying to explicitly state that it wasn't gain of function work. And so this was an immediate red flag. Okay, this is clearly gain of function work. And the other reason that they did it is because the bat vaccine that they were proposing to ultimately, it was the end product from this, which was a spike nanoparticle delivery combo, very similar to ultimately the mRNA shot. They rejected it because it was it was partial epitope coverage. What that means is that normally when you create a vaccine, whether for humans or bats or whatever, you use the entire viral genome, And then you and then you deaden it in some way. You you put it into the animal, and then the the immune system responds to that whole virus. But when you only use the spike protein, it's guaranteed to drive evolution. They knew this and this was explicitly what DARPA was rejecting. They said this can't work in bats. And so it is ironic that immediately after that rejection, like a contract with the Moderna was signed and then, ultimately, they went with this knowing that that there were these problems with this type of technology. Speaker 0: So just I mean, I that's a that's a fact I didn't know, which is really interesting. So the the the proposed proposal also proposes a vaccine for bats, And which has some features of the the COVID vaccines that are ultimately used, in humans. Presumably not exact. It's it's it's, you know, because it always struck me as as surprising that we had a vaccine candidate so quickly as soon as we knew the sequence of this virus in January 2020. But in January in just in March 2018, there's a there's a proposal out then, it sounds like, from exactly these groups that are implicated, for a research program to both engineer a virus that looks has features that are similar to SARS CoV-two and also to produce a vaccine, which I assume they would just go to the back caves of China and spray it around or something to to try to Speaker 1: get it into the back. Correct. They had this goal to like aerosolize it. And to be honest, myself, the other members of Drastic, we don't believe that that was really ever the serious part of the proposal because ultimately, the work before that, dealing with creating chimeric viruses, was 80% or more the same as what they were already doing in 2 other grants, 1 funded by NIAID and the other funded by USAID. And so I'll Speaker 0: tell you. I I mean, I've been funded by NIH for most of my career. And here's what I was told when I was a young scientist. You, because in order to get something funded, you have to convince a group of very skeptical people, scientists, that what you could or proposing to do is possible. Correct. The easiest way to do that is just to do it. Show them that you've done it, some version of it at least, and, and then and then that maximizes the chance of you getting funded. Speaker 1: That's right. Speaker 0: And so There's a very blur there's a blur between what you propose and what you've already done. Speaker 1: That that's correct. In fact, Andrew Huff, who I know very well now, who is the whistleblower who worked at EcoHealth Alliance, one of the main things he he he talks about is the fact that they always worked ahead. They they always the different teams that they would work with, including Wuhan Institute of Virology and, Ralph Barrick at University of North Carolina, they always worked ahead. And and he saw this in the 2 grants that were already active when he was there. And and so, of course, there's no reason to suspect anything other than they were already working on this because it was actually there's only a few it was the same exact personnel as these other two groups, and there's only 1 or 2 additional steps that needed to be done to the virus, chimeric viruses that were already being created in order to produce a virus that looks like SARS CoV-two. Speaker 0: Charles, how did the diffuse proposal come to the attention of the public? Speaker 1: So this is the part that that most people don't know. And so, yeah, it's it's good to be able to to state it for the record. But the diffuse proposal was discovered by, now lieutenant colonel. And on the the highest classification server that the military has, it's called JWIX. And it was an unmarked document, which is that's against all of the rules of classified documents. And it but he found it on this online server while he was a presidential fellow at DARPA working in the biological technologies office. And he'd he reached out to me initially for for other reasons, but he he found me because of drastic, and he was trying to he had information that he wanted to bring forward to the public. And then ultimately, while we were communicating in the summer of 2021, he came across these documents. And these what's interesting and important about them in the fact that the way that they were found is that these documents were placed on this server during the 90 day window that President Biden had set for the investigation into the origin, asking the intelligence communities, asking the Director of National Intelligence to report on all the information, all the intelligence gathered as to the origin. Well, so the first thing for people to understand is that when we found this document, my and he and he and he he showed it to me, and we were fig and we were we decided, okay, we're going to leak this. The public needs to see this because it's too important. And when so as we were as we were just basically, I I decided he gave it to me to leak, and I decided the best way to do that would be to bring it to my fellow drastic members, have us look at it, analyze what it actually means, provide an an unbiased explanation of what we found in it and what it what the implications might be, and then release the full documents to the public. And so I took the documents. I kind of coordinated that. But one key thing is that as we were putting that together on April or on August 25th or 27th, 2021, the Biden report on the origin was released, and it was incredibly short. And it didn't mention anything about the evidence that was clearly found by intelligence officials and placed into the server. It didn't mention anything about it. In fact, it went out of its way to say that the fear in Cleveland site was natural, that everybody agreed that it was a natural origin, etcetera. But I was holding in my hands when that was published, I was holding in my hands the evidence that the intelligence community was lying to the American people and to the president of the United States because we had evidence from them showing that what they were saying was wrong and that they were lying. And so, ultimately, I'm I'm I'm grateful that we decided to leak it in the way that we did because without that, the public wouldn't know that this recipe book existed that tied all these people together. Speaker 0: So, Charles so, Charles, it like, it's it's I mean, that's a really shocking thing. So what does it what does it mean that they didn't that the people like, Dazsak and and others didn't tell the public about this proposal that so clearly impinges on this vital question of public interest? Speaker 1: Well, from my perspective, and then, like, I haven't really discussed this, too much, but from my perspective, the reason why this wasn't released is because this the diffuse proposal is evidence of intent. And so in a court of law and in a criminal case to to to prosecute somebody for a criminal act, there's 2 parts. There's mens rea and there's actus reus. And mens reus is simply the intent the level of intent and what what your reasoning was to commit a crime, and actus reus is the actual act itself. And typically, the intent is the harder thing to prove in a criminal case and it is so important that the outcome, if somebody is convicted of a crime, the level of intent is what determines the severity of the punishment, so whether it's first degree murder or second degree murder, etcetera. But in this case, this document is evidence of intent to create a virus that looks exactly like SARS CoV-two that has 4 to 5 specific, artificial elements to the viral genome that that make it appear unnatural, that derive that would be the product of the research that they proposed, most of which they were already doing under 2 other grants. And so the fact that so they would not they would never release this because they wouldn't they wouldn't want somebody to be able to bring that into the court of law and to the court of public opinion to show, that that's half the act right there, and all you all that's missing is the actual the evidence itself. So Speaker 0: That they did it. Okay. I think, I wanted to talk a little bit, and we've gone over past not long. I wanted I'd like I promised you, but I think this is very important. So maybe we could just talk briefly about this. The the whole idea of doing work to make viruses more transmissible, to to to cause disease to that where in humans where otherwise wouldn't be able to do that, that isn't just a new thing. I mean, you or you mentioned, as you said, when we were talking about the diffuse proposal in 2018, but that that whole research program goes back much longer than that, at least a decade or 2. Speaker 1: Absolutely. Gain of function work is has been going on for many decades and in particular, ever since, the post-nineeleven era is really when what used to be the domain of defense research agencies kind of merged with the public health apparatus after September 11th and Fauci, doctor Fauci was placed in control of all of that. And it was and I think what that did was that added an element of, well, just public private partnership that was really dangerous. You should never mix research that could have, a potential negative impact that could be used for biological weapons research, for example. It's dangerous to merge that with any sort of public entity. And and what what they basically did was and this was led by doctor Fauci. They basically turned this into a program of creating viruses and or just pathogens tweaking them with with the goal of also creating countermeasures to those and basically to protect the public against the potential for such a virus to emerge in the future, whether it's naturally or engineered by somebody else. And so that's, like, the whole the care of the program. Speaker 0: I mean, the the the the program then, the argument for it is that we can find viruses in the wild before they infect humans, develop countermeasures like vaccines to them, again, before they so there's before they infect humans. And, and and, I mean, that's the civilian argument for it. I mean, with the the in principle, it could also be a a military argument, which I don't have access to, but it's possible. But are there are there examples of this research program actually preventing any, viral outbreak or pathogenic outbreak, in humans? Speaker 1: None that I've found. In fact, there's plenty of evidence going back decades to show that in fact, I think it's recently been shown in papers in Nature or Science that there was an H1N1 outbreak in 1976 or 1977. And what they discovered is that that was an exact genetic match for, from an outbreak from 1950. And so what that that appears that outbreak, that global pandemic, appears to have been the result of a lab leak of a previous of a of a previous, strain and that's just one example and there's hundreds of examples of lab leaks taking place and there's no examples of successful preemptive measures reducing any of these things? None. Speaker 0: It struck me in some of the FOIA documents from, that we discussed at the very beginning of this podcast, where the people like Jeremy Farrar, the head of the Wellcome Trust, were explicitly acknowledging that a lot of the research around the the coronaviruses that was going on, in Wuhan, were using, biosecurity procedures that were quite lax, you know, kind of akin to what you'd get in a dentist office or something, to to look at research that that that would potentially have produced this virus. Speaker 1: That's correct. In fact, the authors of the Proxima Origin paper themselves, Christine Anderson, Robert Gary, and and, and even doctor Fauci were remarking on the fact they couldn't believe that this type of research could be taking place in such a lax laboratory environment. Now publicly publicly, they said the opposite. They they never mentioned any of their own fears and concerns about this, but privately, that's exactly what they believed. Speaker 0: Okay. So I wanna end, this this podcast with with, with some the thoughts about what we what has to happen going forward. And in particular, I wanna I wanna focus on, you know, we're in the middle of, the World Health Organization is the middle of of crafting a treaty about how to manage future pandemics, how to how to prepare for them in advance. And and, the entire world potentially will sign on to this paradigm. One of the key elements, I think, of this kind of pandemic preparedness is exactly this kind of of research work to try to predict which viruses are going to make the leap. Yeah. It seems like the world is on the verge of signing on to this program that may have produced this pandemic into the future that we, in fact, are, it's as if we had the the the atomic bomb has been dropped and, and, we're we're doing, overground testing of of of of our nuclear weapon stocks. And, you know, there there are people getting essentially poisoned by the radiation from it, and the world then looking at the evidence of that radiation poisoning of people during the from these nuclear testing sets, let and and, you know, groundwater getting poised by nuclear nuclear fallout or whatever. Let's sign on to this research program, do more nuclear testing forever. Speaker 1: That's that's a really good example because, ultimately and this is this is one of the main motivations for me is is fighting this. We have to expose the truth about whatever that happened. I don't know exactly what the truth is. But what I do know is we have to understand the truth of this pandemic, and the public has to understand it because ultimately, it's the public that's impacted by all these different measures and things like this. And if they know the truth, then the more that the public is educated about the truth, the more that they will fight against all these other measures because they will realize that the same people who are proposing these measures may be the same ones that drove and caused this pandemic in the first place, either by negligence or something else and that's unacceptable. This is a matter of we've seen that this is a matter of protecting our freedoms here in the US. We've already seen the infringements and we're seeing it all around the world. And so for me, my purpose in trying to get all this information to the public is so that the public can be the be the masters of their own destiny instead of these organizations that that clearly do not have our best interest at heart. Because whether or not they created the virus, their response to the virus was antithetical to what it should have been, and you know this incredibly well. And so they can only weaponize it against us to the degree to which we're uninformed. And so that's that's why I'm doing this, and I know that's why you're you've been fighting the same fights in different areas. Speaker 0: I mean, I I think this is a much bigger threat than nuclear proliferation to the the future of mangrove. Absolutely. That's why I've been involved with this. And I think, you know, it's striking, we talked a little bit about the the the cross, whether it's military use or not military use. Strikes me is that if it's suppose it's not military use, that in a in a in a way, that's an even bigger threat than if it's military use. If it's if it's not a bioweapon, it's that bigger threat. Because what you have then is a a cadre of scientists who are convinced that they're doing good for the world. They're doing these experiments in order to prevent people from getting sick. And when people have convinced themselves that they're doing good, they often do reckless things that they otherwise would never would do. Dangerous experiments. Lying to themselves and then eventually to others about the having conducted those dangerous experiments. The the the the the the the work and then convincingly, it's much more easy to convince leaders, I think, of this, especially when you when you're when you think when you think you have good intentions. And I think that I don't know about everybody, but I think a lot of the scientists involved are in this situation. A lot of the virologists involved are in this situation where they went into a field in order to do good for people, learn about the way the viruses work and so that we can develop better treatments and cures and treat, and and maybe even prevent people from getting infected. And but they find themselves at the in the crosshairs of this pandemic where the their entire research agenda, not maybe not themselves, but their but their colleagues, might have caused all of this. And, I think that that's the problem that we currently face. It's we have to I agree with you, Charles. We have to get the truth. We have to get to the bottom of this because the the the very future of our our our societies, the the the health of our children, the health of our our our societies altogether depend on learning what that truth is and acting on it. Speaker 1: Abs absolutely. And and and scientists, they've betrayed their, this is this may result. If if the truth is what it seems to be based on the evidence, then there's gonna the collapse of trust in science and the medical establishment is going to be extreme. And I, as somebody who appreciates science and understands the moment in history where we are, that is exponential growth of technology, This is when we need to trust science more than ever. But at the same time, the truth is more important because, ultimately, it's about, saving human lives and and protecting our freedoms, and that's more important than than science or medicine. Speaker 0: So Speaker 1: I Speaker 0: mean, I and I think, ultimately, there is there isn't a trade off there. If the truth comes out and scientists are part of telling of that truth, scientists like you, ultimately, that will that will vindicate science. But if if the illusion of consensus over the, origins, the the suppression of debate and discussion, the smearing of people, the reputations of people who are dissidents continues, all scientists will face the same fate that which is that the public will no longer trust any Speaker 1: of us. Speaker 0: Okay. On that, on that sour note, I think, I wanna thank you for for joining me in this conversation and for the work that you've done, which has been incredible. Please, please keep doing it because we we, you know, the public needs to know. This has been, professor Jay Bhattacharya in conversation with Charles Rixey for the illusion of consensus podcast. Until next time. Thank you for joining us.

William Gallagher updates his analysis on the differences between RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2, arguing against the lab creation theory. He presents several claims, including the unusual PRRA sequence, RNA alignment issues, and mutation rates suggesting a long divergence time. Gallagher speculates on the virus's origins, proposing a mixed bat infection leading to human transmission via travel. However, he faces criticism regarding geographical inconsistencies, timing of infection, and the dismissal of the pangolin hypothesis. He also discusses the potential for lab-related mutations, emphasizing the complexity of the virus's evolution.

1/4 In http://virological.org/t/tackling-rumors-of-a-suspicious-origin-of-ncov2019/384โ€ฆ 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

3/4 His second claim: "Then one looks at the actual RNA alignment. The โ€œinsertโ€ is actually not in frame, but CTCCTCGGCGGG, or -2 out of frame. Again, who does that?

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

4/4 His third claim: "But the PROOF lies in looking at the 288 alignable nucleotides on either side of the โ€œinsertโ€. 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

8/ ? He points out: โ€œInsertโ€ 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

9/ ? sequence context has other similarities, i.e โ€œcagacโ€ upstream & a โ€œcโ€ downstream of โ€œinsertโ€: 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

20/ ? (Nature versus Lab (3) 3. RNA alignment: โ€œinsertโ€ 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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.

I shared insights on conflicts of interest among authors of a Nature paper, highlighting Kristian Andersen, Andrew Rambaut, Ian Lipkin, Edward Holmes, and Robert Garry. I noted Andersen's lack of mention of competing interests, while Garry acknowledged Zalgen Labs. I discussed Scripps Research's financial troubles before a significant collaboration with Shenzhen Bay Laboratory emerged. I also touched on controversies surrounding EcoHealth and the alleged hoarding of virus sequences. Lastly, I critiqued the connections and funding of various institutions involved in virology research.

Identifying SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses in Malayan pangolins - Nature The ongoing outbreak of viral pneumonia in China and across the world is associated with a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-21. This outbreak has been tentatively associated with a seafood market in Wuhan, China, where the sale of wild animals may be the source of zoonotic infection2. Although bats are probable reservoir hosts for SARS-CoV-2, the identity of any intermediate host that may have facilitated transfer to humans is unknown. Here we report the identification of SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses in Malayan pangolins (Manis javanica) seized in anti-smuggling operations in southern China. Metagenomic sequencing identified pangolin-associated coronaviruses that belong to two sub-lineages of SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses, including one that exhibits strong similarity in the receptor-binding domain to SARS-CoV-2. The discovery of multiple lineages of pangolin coronavirus and their similarity to SARS-CoV-2 suggests that pangolins should be considered as possible hosts in the emergence of new coronaviruses and should be removed from wet markets to prevent zoonotic transmission. SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses are identified in Malayan pangolins (Manis javanica); these pangolin-associated coronaviruses belonged to two sub-lineages of SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses, including one that exhibits strong similarity in the receptor-binding domain to SARS-CoV-2. nature.com

reSee.it AI Summary
Iโ€™ve analyzed the EHA documents and found significant misconduct by Peter Daszak. He actively obstructed investigations into EcoHealth Allianceโ€™s ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, orchestrating support coalitions and lobbying against funding cuts. Daszak misled Congress, reported investigators to the FBI, and ignored oversight failures regarding risky research. His connections with Chinese officials and attempts to manipulate narratives raise serious concerns about EHA's transparency and integrity. The evidence suggests a calculated effort to protect funding and discredit scrutiny.

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

๐ŸงตMy 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.

@gdemaneuf - Gilles Demaneuf

DRASTIC Working Notes: Findings from EHA documents made public by Congress in December 2024. 1๏ธโƒฃ How the folder was made public: @RandPaul @thackerpd @SenJoniErnst @BillyBostickson @RogerPielkeJr https://t.co/9pTmdeUJaq

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

2โƒฃ He orchestrated a โ€œCoalition 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

4โƒฃ๐ŸšจPerjury 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

5โƒฃ Additionally, Daszak reported DRASTIC investigators to the FBI as โ€œQAnon conspiracistsโ€ (May 21, 2020, FBI Daszak.pdf, p.39-40), attempting to discredit their probes into WIVโ€™s role. These moves show a calculated effort to obstruct investigations and protect EHAโ€™s funding.

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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

7โƒฃ Oversight Failures The above, coupled with WIV ignoring Baricโ€™s GoF restrictions, exposes EHAโ€™s lax oversight & complicity in risky research. His April 2015 note to check WIVโ€™s GoF with Baric & WIV selling Baricโ€™s mice, hints at deeper WIV misconduct which PD didn't address.

I shared a series of posts discussing the lack of transparency surrounding the environmental samples from the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan. Despite numerous inquiries, George Gao has not provided specific details about the positive samples. I highlighted the original questions posed by DRASTIC and the frustration over unanswered queries. A recently leaked map, which took ten months to surface, raises further questions about its delayed release and the discrepancies between versions held by different health organizations. The ongoing investigation by the WHO emphasizes the market's significance in understanding the outbreak.

I explored various alternatives to gain-of-function research, emphasizing loss-of-function studies and in vitro genetic interactions. I raised ethical concerns about experiments with potential pandemic pathogens and highlighted alarming examples of dangerous research, including a project to create a highly lethal monkeypox virus. I called for transparency regarding virus experiments and expressed my belief that the U.S. has engaged in illegal biowarfare research under the guise of biodefense. I also noted that while the U.S. denies these activities, evidence suggests otherwise.

Gain-of-function research can't deliver pandemic predictions. Are there alternatives? Gain-of-function research in virology can pinpoint genetic mutations that could make viruses a pandemic threat, yet there is no guarantee that the next pandemic virus will follow any of the genetic roadmaps scientists discover using these methods. A potentially large number of genetic mutations could affect how viruses behave, changing viral traits in a way that could prove hard to predict. Alternative approaches to gain-of-function research exist, but how useful are they? thebulletin.org

I've been exploring the intricate connections between France, China, and Pakistan regarding biowarfare research. A report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicates China's interest in developing bacteriological weapons, while French virologist Jean-Robert Bonami's work with Zhengli Shi raises questions about collaboration. The investigation reveals that France helped establish a BSL4 lab in China, training Pakistani scientists in biological warfare. This complex web of agreements and research highlights ongoing concerns about international biowarfare practices.

I discussed the dangers of melioidosis and its potential as a bioweapon, highlighting its connection to B. mallei, which has been used in historical biowarfare. I noted that both bacteria can be aerosolized and pose risks if released deliberately. I shared insights on their clinical manifestations, detection methods, and historical instances of their use in warfare, particularly by Germany and Japan. Additionally, I mentioned ongoing research and the challenges in diagnosing these pathogens. The topic raises concerns about bioterrorism and the need for stringent safety measures.

Melioidosis - Nature Reviews Disease Primers Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative environmental bacterium and the aetiological agent of melioidosis, a life-threatening infection that is estimated to account for โˆผ89,000 deaths per year worldwide. Diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for melioidosis, and the global diabetes pandemic could increase the number of fatalities caused by melioidosis. Melioidosis is endemic across tropical areas, especially in southeast Asia and northern Australia. Disease manifestations can range from acute septicaemia to chronic infection, as the facultative intracellular lifestyle and virulence factors of B. pseudomallei promote survival and persistence of the pathogen within a broad range of cells, and the bacteria can manipulate the host's immune responses and signalling pathways to escape surveillance. The majority of patients present with sepsis, but specific clinical presentations and their severity vary depending on the route of bacterial entry (skin penetration, inhalation or ingestion), host immune function and bacterial strain and load. Diagnosis is based on clinical and epidemiological features as well as bacterial culture. Treatment requires long-term intravenous and oral antibiotic courses. Delays in treatment due to difficulties in clinical recognition and laboratory diagnosis often lead to poor outcomes and mortality can exceed 40% in some regions. Research into B. pseudomallei is increasing, owing to the biothreat potential of this pathogen and increasing awareness of the disease and its burden; however, better diagnostic tests are needed to improve early confirmation of diagnosis, which would enable better therapeutic efficacy and survival. Burkholderia pseudomallei is a bacterium with a high biothreat potential: it can cause an infectious disease โ€” melioidosis โ€” that presents with sepsis, pneumonia or both in the majority of patients, with mortality as high as 50% and for which no vaccine is available. nature.com

I have uncovered significant findings regarding the Pangolin Riddle. Evidence confirms that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had pangolins in 2019 and isolated MERS-like coronaviruses from them just before the pandemic. Research indicates that a specific pangolin virus, MjHKU4r-CoV-1, possesses a furin cleavage site that enhances its ability to infect human cells. This suggests a possible link between lab experiments and the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, raising questions about the pathways that led to its acquisition of this feature.

@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

On the Origin of SARS-CoV-2: Did Cell Culture Experiments Lead to Increased Virulence of the Progenitor Virus for Humans? We are currently in a rapidly expanding pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which originated in the city of Wuhan in central China. The COVID-19 is now spread worldwide and has tremendous socio-economic consequences. The origin of the virus can be reconstructed through epidemiological studies and, even more so, from genome comparisons. How the evolution of the virus and the transition to humans might have happened is the subject of much speculation. It is considered certain that the virus is of animal origin and very likely passed from bats to humans in a zoonotic event. An intermediate host was postulated, but many SARS-like bat viruses have the ability to infect human cells directly, which has been shown experimentally by scientists in the Wuhan Institute of Virology using collected specimens containing virus material from horseshoe bats. The propagation of SARS-like bat viruses in cell culture allowed experiments aimed at increasing the infectivity of the virus and adaptation to human cells. This article summarizes the unique properties of SARS-CoV-2 and focusses on a specific sequence encoding the spike protein. Possible scenarios of virus evolution are discussed, with particular emphasis on the hypothesis that the virus could have emerged unintentionally through routine culture or gain-of-function experiments in a laboratory, where it was optimally adapted to human cells and caused cryptic infections among workers who finally spread the virus causing the pandemic. iv.iiarjournals.org

@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

@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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

@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.

@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 (โ€œin transโ€), or purposefully in the context of gain-of-function experiments.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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

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

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!

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.

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.

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€.

The posts suggest a network of corruption, with references to historical figures and organizations that have shaped the current landscape of public health and biowarfare. There's a call for awareness and scrutiny of these connections.

Chmura's work, which evaluates virus risks, highlights his involvement with Nathan Wolfe's "Global Viral" project and collaborations with various institutions, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology. His thesis details extensive bat sampling and raises concerns about safety practices.

1/4 From an obscure PhD thesis by Aleksei Avery CHMURA, now chief of staff at @EcoHealthNYC & author of: 2013 WIV paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12711 2016: https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Zeng-etal_Bat-SARSlike_2016.pdf 2018: https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Virologica-Sinica-SARSr.pdf Thesis Evaluating Risks of Paramyxovirus and Coronavirus Emergence in China

Isolation and characterization of a bat SARS-like coronavirus that uses the ACE2 receptor - Nature Whole-genome sequences of two novel SARS-CoV-related bat coronaviruses, in addition to a live isolate of a bat SARS-like coronavirus, are reported; the live isolate can infect human cells using ACE2, providing the strongest evidence to date that Chinese horseshoe bats are natural reservoirs of SARS-CoV. Peter Daszak and colleagues identify two novel coronaviruses from Chinese horseshoe bats that are closely related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), the cause of a pandemic during 2002 and 2003. They also isolate a live virus from these bats that has high sequence identity to SARS-CoV and that can infect human cells using ACE2, the same receptor that is used by SARS-CoV. The results provide the strongest evidence to date that horseshoe bats are natural reservoirs of SARS-CoV. The 2002โ€“3 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was one of the most significant public health events in recent history1. An ongoing outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus2 suggests that this group of viruses remains a key threat and that their distribution is wider than previously recognized. Although bats have been suggested to be the natural reservoirs of both viruses3,4,5, attempts to isolate the progenitor virus of SARS-CoV from bats have been unsuccessful. Diverse SARS-like coronaviruses (SL-CoVs) have now been reported from bats in China, Europe and Africa5,6,7,8, but none is considered a direct progenitor of SARS-CoV because of their phylogenetic disparity from this virus and the inability of their spike proteins to use the SARS-CoV cellular receptor molecule, the human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2)9,10. Here we report whole-genome sequences of two novel bat coronaviruses from Chinese horseshoe bats (family: Rhinolophidae) in Yunnan, China: RsSHC014 and Rs3367. These viruses are far more closely related to SARS-CoV than any previously identified bat coronaviruses, particularly in the receptor binding domain of the spike protein. Most importantly, we report the first recorded isolation of a live SL-CoV (bat SL-CoV-WIV1) from bat faecal samples in Vero E6 cells, which has typical coronavirus morphology, 99.9% sequence identity to Rs3367 and uses ACE2 from humans, civets and Chinese horseshoe bats for cell entry. Preliminary in vitro testing indicates that WIV1 also has a broad species tropism. Our results provide the strongest evidence to date that Chinese horseshoe bats are natural reservoirs of SARS-CoV, and that intermediate hosts may not be necessary for direct human infection by some bat SL-CoVs. They also highlight the importance of pathogen-discovery programs targeting high-risk wildlife groups in emerging disease hotspots as a strategy for pandemic preparedness. nature.com

The pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 in hACE2 transgenic mice - Nature Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has become a public health emergency of international concern1. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the cell-entry receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)2. Here we infected transgenic mice that express human ACE2 (hereafter, hACE2 mice) with SARS-CoV-2 and studied the pathogenicity of the virus. We observed weight loss as well as virus replication in the lungs of hACE2 mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. The typical histopathology was interstitial pneumonia with infiltration of considerable numbers of macrophages and lymphocytes into the alveolar interstitium, and the accumulation of macrophages in alveolar cavities. We observed viral antigens in bronchial epithelial cells, macrophages and alveolar epithelia. These phenomena were not found in wild-type mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. Notably, we have confirmed the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 in hACE2 mice. This mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 infection will be valuable for evaluating antiviral therapeutic agents and vaccines, as well as understanding the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 causes interstitial pneumonia and viral replication in the lungs of transgenic mice that express a human version of ACE2, confirming the pathogenicity of the virus in this model. nature.com

11. 2020 - USA SARS-CoV-2 infection of human ACE2-transgenic mice causes severe lung inflammation and impaired function https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-020-0778-2

SARS-CoV-2 infection of human ACE2-transgenic mice causes severe lung inflammation and impaired function - Nature Immunology Although animal models have been evaluated for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, none have fully recapitulated the lung disease phenotypes seen in humans who have been hospitalized. Here, we evaluate transgenic mice expressing the human angiotensin I-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor driven by the cytokeratin-18 (K18) gene promoter (K18-hACE2) as a model of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Intranasal inoculation of SARS-CoV-2 in K18-hACE2 mice results in high levels of viral infection in lungs, with spread to other organs. A decline in pulmonary function occurs 4โ€‰days after peak viral titer and correlates with infiltration of monocytes, neutrophils and activated T cells. SARS-CoV-2-infected lung tissues show a massively upregulated innate immune response with signatures of nuclear factor-ฮบB-dependent, type I and II interferon signaling, and leukocyte activation pathways. Thus, the K18-hACE2 model of SARS-CoV-2 infection shares many features of severe COVID-19 infection and can be used to define the basis of lung disease and test immune and antiviral-based countermeasures. Diamond and colleagues generate a K18-hACE2 model of SARS-CoV-2 infection that shares many features of severe COVID-19 infection and can be used to define the basis of lung disease and test immune and antiviral-based countermeasures. nature.com

Novel Bat Alphacoronaviruses in Southern China Support Chinese Horseshoe Bats as an Important Reservoir for Potential Novel Coronaviruses While bats are increasingly recognized as a source of coronavirus epidemics, the diversity and emergence potential of bat coronaviruses remains to be fully understood. Among 1779 bat samples collected in China, diverse coronaviruses were detected in 32 samples from five different bat species by RT-PCR. Two novel alphacoronaviruses, Rhinolophus sinicus bat coronavirus HKU32 (Rs-BatCoV HKU32) and Tylonycteris robustula bat coronavirus HKU33 (Tr-BatCoV HKU33), were discovered from Chinese horseshoe bats in Hong Kong and greater bamboo bats in Guizhou Province, respectively. Genome analyses showed that Rs-BatCoV HKU32 is closely related to BatCoV HKU10 and related viruses from diverse bat families, whereas Tr-BatCoV HKU33 is closely related to BtNv-AlphaCoV and similar viruses exclusively from bats of Vespertilionidae family. The close relatedness of Rs-BatCoV HKU32 to BatCoV HKU10 which was also detected in Pomona roundleaf bats from the same country park suggests that these viruses may have the tendency of infecting genetically distant bat populations of close geographical proximity with subsequent genetic divergence. Moreover, the presence of SARSr-CoV ORF7a-like protein in Rs-BatCoV HKU32 suggests a common evolutionary origin of this accessory protein with SARS-CoV, also from Chinese horseshoe bats, an apparent reservoir for coronavirus epidemics. The emergence potential of Rs-BatCoV HKU32 should be explored. mdpi.com

Characterization of a New Member of Alphacoronavirus with Unique Genomic Features in Rhinolophus Bats Bats have been identified as a natural reservoir of a variety of coronaviruses (CoVs). Several of them have caused diseases in humans and domestic animals by interspecies transmission. Considering the diversity of bat coronaviruses, bat species and populations, we expect to discover more bat CoVs through virus surveillance. In this study, we described a new member of alphaCoV (BtCoV/Rh/YN2012) in bats with unique genome features. Unique accessory genes, ORF4a and ORF4b were found between the spike gene and the envelope gene, while ORF8 gene was found downstream of the nucleocapsid gene. All the putative genes were further confirmed by reverse-transcription analyses. One unique gene at the 3โ€™ end of the BtCoV/Rh/YN2012 genome, ORF9, exhibits ~30% amino acid identity to ORF7a of the SARS-related coronavirus. Functional analysis showed ORF4a protein can activate IFN-ฮฒ production, whereas ORF3a can regulate NF-ฮบB production. We also screened the spike-mediated virus entry using the spike-pseudotyped retroviruses system, although failed to find any fully permissive cells. Our results expand the knowledge on the genetic diversity of bat coronaviruses. Continuous screening of bat viruses will help us further understand the important role played by bats in coronavirus evolution and transmission. mdpi.com
Bat Coronaviruses in China During the past two decades, three zoonotic coronaviruses have been identified as the cause of large-scale disease outbreaksโ€“Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and Swine Acute Diarrhea Syndrome (SADS). SARS and MERS emerged in 2003 and 2012, respectively, and caused a worldwide pandemic that claimed thousands of human lives, while SADS struck the swine industry in 2017. They have common characteristics, such as they are all highly pathogenic to humans or livestock, their agents originated from bats, and two of them originated in China. Thus, it is highly likely that future SARS- or MERS-like coronavirus outbreaks will originate from bats, and there is an increased probability that this will occur in China. Therefore, the investigation of bat coronaviruses becomes an urgent issue for the detection of early warning signs, which in turn minimizes the impact of such future outbreaks in China. The purpose of the review is to summarize the current knowledge on viral diversity, reservoir hosts, and the geographical distributions of bat coronaviruses in China, and eventually we aim to predict virus hotspots and their cross-species transmission potential. mdpi.com

Immune System Modulation and Viral Persistence in Bats: Understanding Viral Spillover Bats harbor a myriad of viruses and some of these viruses may have spilled over to other species including humans. Spillover events are rare and several factors must align to create the โ€œperfect stormโ€ that would ultimately lead to a spillover. One of these factors is the increased shedding of virus by bats. Several studies have indicated that bats have unique defense mechanisms that allow them to be persistently or latently infected with viruses. Factors leading to an increase in the viral load of persistently infected bats would facilitate shedding of virus. This article reviews the unique nature of bat immune defenses that regulate virus replication and the various molecular mechanisms that play a role in altering the balanced batโ€“virus relationship. mdpi.com
Bats and Coronaviruses Bats are speculated to be reservoirs of several emerging viruses including coronaviruses (CoVs) that cause serious disease in humans and agricultural animals. These include CoVs that cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) and severe acute diarrhea syndrome (SADS). Bats that are naturally infected or experimentally infected do not demonstrate clinical signs of disease. These observations have allowed researchers to speculate that bats are the likely reservoirs or ancestral hosts for several CoVs. In this review, we follow the CoV outbreaks that are speculated to have originated in bats. We review studies that have allowed researchers to identify unique adaptation in bats that may allow them to harbor CoVs without severe disease. We speculate about future studies that are critical to identify how bats can harbor multiple strains of CoVs and factors that enable these viruses to โ€œjumpโ€ from bats to other mammals. We hope that this review will enable readers to identify gaps in knowledge that currently exist and initiate a dialogue amongst bat researchers to share resources to overcome present limitations. mdpi.com

Bat Research Networks and Viral Surveillance: Gaps and Opportunities in Western Asia Bat research networks and viral surveillance are assumed to be at odds due to seemingly conflicting research priorities. Yet human threats that contribute to declines in bat populations globally also lead to increased transmission and spread of bat-associated viruses, which may pose a threat to global health and food security. In this review, we discuss the importance of and opportunities for multidisciplinary collaborations between bat research networks and infectious disease experts to tackle shared threats that jeopardize bat conservation as well as human and animal health. Moreover, we assess research effort on bats and bat-associated viruses globally, and demonstrate that Western Asia has limited published research and represents a gap for coordinated bat research. The lack of bat research in Western Asia severely limits our capacity to identify and mitigate region-specific threats to bat populations and detect interactions between bats and incidental hosts that promote virus spillover. We detail a regional initiative to establish the first bat research network in Western Asia (i.e., the Western Asia Bat Research Network, WAB-Net), with the aim of integrating ecological research on bats with virus surveillance to find โ€œwin-winโ€ solutions that promote bat conservation and safeguard public and animal health across the region. mdpi.com

Discovery and Characterization of Novel Bat Coronavirus Lineages from Kazakhstan Coronaviruses are positive-stranded RNA viruses that infect a variety of hosts, resulting in a range of symptoms from gastrointestinal illness to respiratory distress. Bats are reservoirs for a high diversity of coronaviruses, and focused surveillance detected several strains genetically similar to MERS-coronavirus, SARS-coronavirus, and the human coronaviruses 229E and NL63. The bat fauna of central Asia, which link China to eastern Europe, are relatively less studied than other regions of the world. Kazakhstan is the worldโ€™s ninth largest country; however, little is understood about the prevalence and diversity of bat-borne viruses. In this study, bat guano was collected from bat caves in three different sites of southern Kazakhstan that tested positive for coronaviruses. Our phylogenetic reconstruction indicates these are novel bat coronaviruses that belong to the genus Alphacoronavirus. In addition, two distinct lineages of Kazakhstan bat coronaviruses were detected. Both lineages are closely related to bat coronaviruses from China, France, Spain, and South Africa, suggesting that co-circulation of coronaviruses is common in multiple bat species with overlapping geographical distributions. Our study highlights the need for collaborative efforts in understudied countries to increase integrated surveillance capabilities toward better monitoring and detection of infectious diseases. mdpi.com

DARPA collection of viruses in Uganda Sent to Stuart Nichols - Atlanta CDC BSL4 Discovery and Characterization of Bukakata orbivirus (Reoviridae:Orbivirus), a Novel Virus from a Ugandan Bat https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/11/3/209/htm Supplementary Materials https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/11/3/209/s1

Discovery and Characterization of Bukakata orbivirus (Reoviridae:Orbivirus), a Novel Virus from a Ugandan Bat While serological and virological evidence documents the exposure of bats to medically-important arboviruses, their role as reservoirs or amplifying hosts is less well-characterized. We describe a novel orbivirus (Reoviridae:Orbivirus) isolated from an Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus leachii) trapped in 2013 in Uganda and named Bukakata orbivirus. This is the fifth orbivirus isolated from a bat, however genetic information had previously only been available for one bat-associated orbivirus. We performed whole-genome sequencing on Bukakata orbivirus and three other bat-associated orbiviruses (Fomede, Ife, and Japanaut) to assess their phylogenetic relationship within the genus Orbivirus and develop hypotheses regarding potential arthropod vectors. Replication kinetics were assessed for Bukakata orbivirus in three different vertebrate cell lines. Lastly, qRT-PCR and nested PCR were used to determine the prevalence of Bukakata orbivirus RNA in archived samples from three populations of Egyptian fruit bats and one population of cave-associated soft ticks in Uganda. Complete coding sequences were obtained for all ten segments of Fomede, Ife, and Japanaut orbiviruses and for nine of the ten segments for Bukakata orbivirus. Phylogenetic analysis placed Bukakata and Fomede in the tick-borne orbivirus clade and Ife and Japanaut within the Culicoides/phlebotomine sandfly orbivirus clade. Further, Bukakata and Fomede appear to be serotypes of the Chobar Gorge virus species. Bukakata orbivirus replicated to high titers (106โ€“107 PFU/mL) in Vero, BHK-21 [C-13], and R06E (Egyptian fruit bat) cells. Preliminary screening of archived bat and tick samples do not support Bukakata orbivirus presence in these collections, however additional testing is warranted given the phylogenetic associations observed. This study provided complete coding sequence for several bat-associated orbiviruses and in vitro characterization of a bat-associated orbivirus. Our results indicate that bats may play an important role in the epidemiology of viruses in the genus Orbivirus and further investigation is warranted into vector-host associations and ongoing surveillance efforts. mdpi.com

Iโ€™ve been looking into the alleged Pentagon biolabs across various countries. In Ukraine, there are labs in ten cities, while Georgia has the Lugar Center and other facilities. Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan also host several labs. Notably, the Lugar Center employs American companies with significant Pentagon contracts. I believe itโ€™s essential to verify the existence and safety levels of these labs through thorough investigation.

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

I questioned why Jacobs, an engineering company involved in testing bioweapon dissemination systems at Dugway, would acquire CH2M, a firm that builds biolabs for the Pentagon in former Soviet states. I noted that Jacobs acquired CH2M in December 2017, and just a year later, they secured a significant $785 million defense contract from the Pentagon. This raises concerns about the connections between defense contracts and bioweapons research.

I shared insights on Sefton Delmer's work in black propaganda during World War II, emphasizing the importance of making this information accessible. I highlighted his autobiography, "Trail Sinister," and discussed the strategic planning behind psychological operations aimed at undermining German morale. I also mentioned Delmer's broadcasts, including his role as "the Chef," and the collaborative efforts in creating propaganda newspapers. For those interested in subversive propaganda, I recommended two resources for further exploration.

Aspidistra - Schneier on Security Aspidistra was a World War II man-in-the-middle attack. The vulnerability that made it possible was that German broadcast stations were mostly broadcasting the same content from a central source; but during air raids, transmitters in the target area were switched off to prevent them being used for radio direction-finding of the target. The exploit involved the very powerful (500KW) Aspidistra transmitter, coupled to a directional antenna farm. With that power, they could make it sound like a local station in the target area. With a staff of fake announcers, a fake German band, and recordings of recent speeches from high-ranking Nazis, they would smoothly switch from merely relaying the German network to emulating it with their own staff. They could then make modifications to news broadcasts, occasionally creating panic and confusion... schneier.com

Sefton Delmer. Corsaire des ondes de sa Majestรฉ This document deals with the subversive operations carried out by the British during the Second World War, using Black Radio as a means of propaganda in order to undermine the enemyโ€™s war effort. Indeed, if the Germans were considered as the masters of White Propaganda, the British would soon become the true specialists of a new form of psychological warfare: Black Propaganda. A team was set up in England under the orders of a journalist called Sefton Delmer, who had spent many years in Germany. He spoke perfect German and knew German society and its social customs. We will define the different โ€œcoloursโ€ of the propaganda carried out and then study to what extent these actions were successful in the struggle for victory in Europe and how the waves were used as an efficient weapon of deception directed towards the Reich and its allies. journals.openedition.org

Through postcards, court documents, and pirate radio programs, Delmer and the rest of the secret service infiltrated the minds of the German people, using elements of violence, sex, and death in their stories to subtlety break down the morale of the Nazis.

There are perhaps 21 species of Taiwan macaque (Macaca cyclopis, only distributed in Taiwan with 7000 individuals) and douc langur (Pygathrix nemaeus, only recorded in Hainan in 1892) are counted. Loris (Nycticebus spp.) and gibbons (Hylobates spp.) mainly range in Yunnan, with some in Guangxi and Hainan. Langurs (Presbytis spp. and Trachypithecus spp.) are mainly in Southwest China and Guangxi. Snub-nosed monkeys (Pygathrix spp.) are in Southwest China, with some in Gansu, Shaanxi, and Hubei. The species of macaques have wide distribution in China and range mostly south of Yellow River. The stumptail macaque (Macaca arctoides) is in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, and Fujian; the Assamese macaque (Macaca assamensis) in Yunnan, Guangxi, and Tibet; the pigtail macaque (Macaca nemestrina) in Yunnan; the Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana) is endemic to China and in Southwest and Middle China, southern parts of Gansu, and Shaanxi, Guangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang; and the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) has the widest distribution in China and is mostly in the areas to the south of Yellow River but mainly in the southern part of China. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

I recall a chilling moment when I saw numerous fleas floating on water, which I believed were dropped by an American plane over our village in March 1952. Recent findings have surfaced, including a 2001 publication from Japan detailing the covert activities of the Imperial Japanese Army's biological warfare unit during World War II. This unit also had ties to a U.S. clandestine group at Yokosuka Naval Base during the Korean War and worked on various projects in the U.S. from 1955 to 1959.

Iโ€™m excited to see our work gaining recognition, especially from figures like John Ratcliffe and Marco Rubio. The DRASTIC group's efforts in documenting and archiving crucial information about the lab leak hypothesis have been acknowledged multiple times. I appreciate the mentions in books by Rand Paul and Robert Kennedy Jr., highlighting our role in uncovering significant findings. As we look ahead, I believe a thorough investigation and accountability for those responsible are essential. I'm eager to continue this important work.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Welcome to the Illusion of Consensus podcast. I'm Jay Bhattacharya, joined by Charles Rixey, a former Marine Corps member with expertise in nuclear and biological defense. Since the pandemic began, Rixey has been involved with the citizen science group Drastic, which has worked to investigate the origins of COVID-19, particularly the lab leak theory. In early 2020, key scientists, including Tony Fauci, sought to suppress discussions around the virus's potential lab origins, fearing reputational damage. Rixey highlights the significance of the furin cleavage site in the virus and discusses the controversial DEFUSE proposal, which aimed to engineer coronaviruses. He emphasizes the need for transparency and truth in scientific discourse to rebuild public trust and ensure future safety. Thank you for joining us.

Speaker 0: Welcome everybody to the illusion of consensus podcast. I am professor Jay Bhattacharya. And today I have with me, a guest who, is has been pretty closely involved in the the debate and discussion, over the origins of the virus, Charles Rixey. Thanks for agreeing to come on the show, Charles. Speaker 1: It's very good to be here. It was very good nice to get to be introduced to you. Speaker 0: So, Charles, I I should, I should tell people about about your background because it's so interesting and unique and, just so people understand where you're coming from. So you you were once in the marine corps and that you worked on in on nuclear and biological defense. You worked on modeling in nuclear and biological defense. Since the pandemic start, you've been closely involved with a group called drastic. We'll talk more about drastic later in in the podcast. But, just as a thumbnail sketch, drastic has been, especially in 2020, was one of the few scientific groups, essentially like a group of of citizen scientists who got together and said, look, the story about the origins of the virus we're hearing don't doesn't make sense and developed a lot of evidence that kept the lab leak story alive when it was deemed a conspiracy theory by people like Tony Fauci. And then, you also have a fantastic substack, which I've been reading in preparation for this this call called Prometheus Unbound. So what I leave out? What else because seems like that's a perfect background for what we're gonna talk about, which is where did this virus come from? Speaker 1: No. That's that's basically me. I had a professional interest and then I got I got sick very early in March of 2020. And it was while I was sick that I started, looking at initially just the the data, the epidemiological data. So I was trying to understand it and trying to I saw the reaction to the lockdowns and from my family and friends. And so I wanted to to kind of be able to talk to them about, okay, what was actually happening, how how should they be afraid, what should they do to help mitigate, their concerns. And then after digging into the data, I started also becoming interested in the origin. And from there, literally for the last 4 years now, I've been working this is my only job. I stopped my job and everything else, and this is all I've been doing. So Speaker 0: Well, I'm glad you have been doing that because I think, you've uncovered a lot of and and also compiled a lot of very interesting evidence, which some of which we will discuss in the midst of, during this podcast. I just say that in in preparing for this, it seems to me that this is a perfect example of how unscrupulous scientific leaders can create an illusion of consensus in favor of some idea, in this case, where did this virus come from, that essentially tries to suppress the possibility of debate at all. And they do it in a because the the the kind of, the the it's it's it's actually the the conclusion, for instance, that this virus emerged from a lab that is actually quite dangerous to the scientific leaders. You know, people like Tony Fauci, people like Francis Collins, the head of National Institute of Health, people like Jeremy Farrar, the head of the Welcome Trust. It's quite dangerous because these leaders, they were the ones who put in place sort of programs to do the kind of gain of function work, like, do the kind of, like, pandemic preparedness work that may have led to the pandemic starting in the first place. So if people come to say that, my goodness, this virus probably came from a lab experiment and then we asked the question, well, who supported that lab experiment? It's the reputations of these leaders that's really at stake. So we we kinda have a motive to start with. So I wanna I wanna go back in time, and then we'll just go somewhat chronologically just to get get some sense. The the pandemic starts in, officially starts in sometime in January 2020, maybe December 2019. They call it COVID 19 because it's December 2019 in China in China where it's first emerges and then US, the first case is in January 2020. In in late January 2020, the the the the leaders of this country's pandemic response, the scientific leaders, people like Francis Collins, Tony Fauci, they get word from some scientists who've managed to see the sequence of the virus. And these scientists come to them and say, well, you know, this doesn't look like it it is possible that this came from, natural evolutionary process. If I mean, we don't know for certain, but there has certain features, molecular genetic features that look like it might not have started that. What happens? What happened, Charles, when they got that evidence? Speaker 1: Well, when they got that evidence, they they freaked out. And what they're you're absolutely right in saying that all of the actions that were taken place by these scientists, especially during the last week of January and the 1st week of February 2020, all those actions were taken to protect themselves, not the people that they were supposed not the public health or anything that they were supposed to represent, that they they sworn to the constitution to uphold when they took their posts. In the case of Fauci, for instance, This was all about protecting their own interests, their own covering up their own ties, covering up any aspect of the virus that appeared to be unnatural because it would tie right back to, Fauci and the NIH and all the funding from the US government. So, yes, they were trying to protect themselves instead of the people. And Speaker 0: I mean, this is the beginning of the pandemic. At a time when they these are, you know, people who are supposed to be in charge of the public health response or at least advising the public health response. Rather than focusing on that, they're organizing meetings, essentially trying to to cover up the idea that it might have come out of a lab. Speaker 1: Yes. That's correct. In fact, the famous February 1st teleconference that, we've we've all heard about, that had, Anthony Fauci, it had Francis Collins, and then it also had Jeremy Farrar, who was the head of the Wellcome Trust. So Speaker 0: That's a that's a that's a UK based research organization that funded a lot of, a lot of pandemic preparedness work. Right? Speaker 1: Correct. And and there was so so if you look at the big picture of of public funding of of biomedical research across the world. The NIH and US other US government agencies cover 70% of all of that. And then the Wellcome Trust covers another, I want to say, 2%. So we're talking about the leading public health research funding people on the planet and you had leaders ultimately for the pandemic response from 4 countries. There was the US, there was the UK with Patrick Vallance and Gerry Mifferar. Patrick Vallance was the Prime Minister's Scientific Advisor and then Fauci obviously led ours. Then you had Marion Koopmans who played a central role in the Netherlands and also Christian and several other people from Germany. So you had 4 of the biggest Western nations, all basically colluding on what their scientific response is going to be. And the big one of the big questions they were trying to suppress was in the sense instance, the furin cleavage site, which was the biggest single, suspicious element of the viral genome. Speaker 0: So so let's just go back to January 2020 that that you have you have some some scientists that reach out to people like Tony Fauci, and they say molecular geneticists, right, but an evolutionary biologist reach out to Tony Fauci, that then say, look, we found this this aspect of the virus, viral sequence. And what exactly is a furin cleavage site? Why is that so important? Speaker 1: So typically, I would use a graphic to show this, but a furin cleavage site is basically a receptor that is on a bunch of different cells throughout the human body and what's really bad is the best way to compare it with the original SARS virus. The original SARS virus had two main receptors that it used and those receptors allowed it to go through different cells throughout the body, mostly in the bloodstream and some other tissues. A furin cleavage site is much different. If a virus has this furin cleavage site, area, then that opens up the lungs, not just the upper respiratory tract, but the lungs, the nervous system, and the brain. So this virus and and this has now been shown in thousands of of of studies, but this virus because the urine cleavage site in particular, it it adds that it makes it much easier to infect the lungs and then other tissues including the brain. Speaker 0: So the virus enters by attaching to a receptor, in this case, the a the ACE 2 receptor, which is found in the lungs. The part of the virus, the way it enters, it it's helped greatly by, this this furin cleavage site thing because essentially, cells our cells have, sort of enzymes that cut at a the at this furin cleavage site. Speaker 1: Correct. Speaker 0: That cut allows the virus to, like, get off some of the the the the stuff that it doesn't need. Stuff that needs enters the cells and it replicates themselves. And so it's like a ticket into human cells in a whole bunch of different parts of our body. Speaker 1: That's correct. And this virus is basically, it can go through much it can reach much more of a proportion of the body's tissues, which makes it with other mechanisms, makes it more highly transmissible. Speaker 0: So so molecular biologists are looking at this, in January 2020, and they're saying, gosh, this is a coronavirus with a furin cleavage site. That's odd. Most coronavirus in fact, I don't think any other coronaviruses have this furin cleavage site. Speaker 1: Not any not any within this clade. Speaker 0: No. And other bat coronaviruses, the sarboca, coronaviruses, they don't have a furin cleavage site? Speaker 1: That's correct. Coronaviruses have been pretty broad subsection of viruses, but no coronavirus that could recombine with SARS CoV-two had a fewer in cleavage site. And so it's because within its family where it can recombine, none of those viruses have this. And in addition, it looks this was an insert into the genome. When you take the original SARS virus and you take SARS CoV-two, the spike protein for SARS CoV-two is 19 amino acids longer And those 19 amino acids difference basically comes from 4 inserts into the genome and that's how they were immediately apparent because they didn't exist in any other virus. Speaker 0: Now there are other I mean, I've seen folks who make a counterargument. They'll say, well, look, that 19, sort of sequence, 19 19 base base sequence, you can find in other organisms. Speaker 1: Well, I was so I was referring to amino acids there, but in particular the 19 nuclei types Speaker 0: I don't mean base pairs, I meant amino acids, sorry about that, yeah. Speaker 1: Okay. So yes, they will say well, but the key to all of this is that there's nothing that could it could have given this virus that property. It's it's impossible in nature because just because of the only other places that this sequence appears is it would never interact with the virus. Speaker 0: Let's just okay. So let's put ourselves again back in January 20 not 2020. Molecular geneticists have come up with have analyzed this and say, well, gosh, that looks odd. Maybe it's not definitive. We don't know for certain. I mean, recombination events randomly might have could have happened. I mean, things are it's there's some of some of the molecular genesis are saying it's really unlikely and others are saying, well, may may it's possible. Who knows? There's a there's a real debate happening among molecular geneticists about whether this could be an evolutionary origin or not in January 2020. Tony Fauci hears about this. And, there's a paper about, like, HIV inserts and all that put out by some Indian scientists, and they freak out and hold a conference. A little conference, as you said, whole with with a whole bunch of, like, very, very highfaluting leaders of the scientific community. And what do they what comes out of that? Speaker 1: Well, what comes out of it is well, I'll just state that when I talked about those 4 inserts, one of those 4 inserts was where the fear and cleavage site was and then the other 3 were the main subject of that other paper. But it was those 4 inserts that this that these scientists were terrified of because they they were they were out of they didn't seem to come from anywhere, and they couldn't be explained, and they look highly suspicious because of what they do, what they provide for the spike protein. And their main so if you look at this through that lens of those suspicious epitopes that looked like they might have been engineered, The goal of this meeting was to explain away those, what the promoter called epitopes, and basically control the narrative from thereafter as to what or where these things came from and what this means. And ultimately, it meant that they set a narrative and they also, as they were saying the narrative, they started censoring any papers that were coming out. They tried to question the premises of what they were saying. Speaker 0: So what you're saying, Charles, is that they decided at this meeting in late January 2020, early February 2020, that even though there were scientists who were saying that this looks very odd, that it's not something that might come from, a evolutionary process, a natural evolutionary process. There are elements of this virus that look odd, that they decided that that idea was not true and that they worked to suppress the the the counternarrative that they saw. Speaker 1: And it's not that it wasn't true because we now know from their emails, from FOIA documents that they did believe that it was highly likely that this was engineered, but they made the decision explicitly for geopolitical reasons. They didn't want to start anything with China. They didn't want Speaker 0: to I saw an email from Francis Collins essentially saying exactly that, Speaker 1: that Speaker 0: we don't want our Chinese colleagues to be feeling like they are under pressure. They won't cooperate with us if we say this. Speaker 1: That's exactly right. And they didn't want it to hurt their own interest because we're talking about the people that are directly responsible for 70% of global scientific funding or biomedical funding. And so, of course, they're petrified because and they also the other half of this was 2 days later, there was another meeting. And this meeting included Ralph Barrick, Peter Daschick, and other implicated individuals. Speaker 0: Ralph Barrick is a scientist at the University of North Carolina who worked on, bat coronaviruses for for a lot of his career. Speaker 1: Correct. Speaker 0: Peter Daszak, he is a, I mean, I don't know what to call him, a scientific entrepreneur who's the head of the the EcoHealth Alliance. EcoHealth Alliance is funded by Tony Fauci's, National Institute of of Allergy Infectious Disease, and has contracts to do work with the Wuhan lab. They're kind of a go between the US and the Chinese lab. Speaker 1: That's correct. And so their goal in the February 1st meeting was to figure out what narrative they were going to do. And then on February 3rd, they brought in these implicated scientists and also the presidential science advisor, Kelvin Drogemeier and FBI officials and other things. And that basically they had already decided, okay, this is the narrative we're going to set. And then from that, the presidential science advisor actually basically colluded with Fauci to hide the ties with Wuhan from the president and his National Security Council. And this is something that I pointed out from discoveries I made in FOIA documents and later in 2021 when I met in person with congressional investigators, they confirmed to me that that was true, that the President's own science advisor had worked with Fauci to hide this information from the president himself. Speaker 0: Okay. So, I mean, that's shocking enough that the the the US president, you know, president Trump didn't get to know this fact that that early. I do wonder what what difference it would have made, but it's it's it's interesting to speculate about. Publicly, though, what they do is then they they they the some of the people that were involved in those meetings, not the not the leaders, not not Jeremy Farrar, not Tony Fauci, but others like, someone like someone like Christian Andersen, who's another scientist, who actually emailed Fauci saying it might be from a lab. He writes a paper called the proximal origins paper published in Nature Medicine on March 17, 2020 with a few other colleagues of his, essentially saying there's no chance that this is a lab origin virus. Speaker 1: That's correct. And once again, that paper was a direct product of this February 1st meeting. And the entire goal is the the authors have come out, Christian Andersen, actually even way back 3 years ago, I even interacted with him a little bit before I was blocked. And what they claim is that the goal of this paper wasn't to completely rule out the lab origin. However, the same day, March 17, 2020, that that paper came out, Christian Andersen released a press release that was published, from his institute in California where he works. This the the title literally said that they ruled out a lab origin. It said that this virus came from nature. So they they wanna pretend that that's not what they were doing. But when you just look at everything else they were saying outside of that paper, they and then Fauci directly was quoting this paper as saying this is the evidence that this virus isn't natural. And he he was basically a ghost writing author along with Jeremy Farrar of this entire narrative of the they approved the wording of the paper, and they provided edits that we found out about when they were discussing the drafts in these FOIA documents and these Slack emails. Speaker 0: Right. So I mean, that's, of course, is unethical, right? When you have a scientific paper, you're supposed to say every single person they contributed to is supposed to be, you know, like, disclosed in an author, especially if they're editing the paper. And here we have the scientific leaders like Jeremy Farrar, and others essentially ghostwriting this paper. And the lead author is somebody who had actually, ironically, had emailed Fauci, alerting him to the possibility that it might be a lab leak. Here now set writing a paper that's used in in public to say that it can't possibly be a lab leak. In fact, now lab leak has now at this point, has become a byword for conspiracy theory, March by March 2020. You're not if you say this, you're not just a conspiracy theorist. You're you're you're a racist. Right? Because what you're saying is, like, you're somehow somehow, if if you alleged that that a it could be a lab leak from a Chinese lab, you're racist against Chinese. Whereas, if you say it came out of some weird cultural practice in of, eating exotic animals out of a wet market, then you're not a racist. Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much. And the worst part about it was that that paper ultimately was seen as of now 5,900,000 times, which for scientific paper is insane and at the time, it was the 2nd most viewed or the second well, let's call it all metrics score, but basically the 2nd most impactful paper in the history of modern science because it was so heavily promoted and then it was used in thousands of newspaper articles even to this day as the evidence, even though we know that they colluded to write it and that they, all 5 authors, we have evidence that all 5 authors believe the opposite of what was stated in the paper when the paper was published. Speaker 0: Okay. So you have essentially what looks to me like a conspiracy by a relatively small group of people. And, you know, I say conspiracy, advisedly. What I mean by conspiracy is, again, just a group of people just with a lot of power, trying to tell the public something that they don't know to be true. They might even know that the opposite to be true, that that in fact it's it's natural origins because they have an interest. And these and these are and so this and and, and it's successful. Like, most people at this point understand that lab leak is a is not possible. Like, the most of the world thinks it's it's, it's a, it's a natural it's a natural origin virus. Okay. So now I wanna I wanna talk about drastic. This is the group that you, you and, well, like, 20 other people, belong to, formed an ad hoc group of of citizen scientists. Or I so I have the I have the the the acronym fantastic acronym, dedicated research and scientific team investigating COVID 19. Drastic. I don't know who came up with that, but that was pretty pretty brilliant marketing if you ask me. It it comes together, essentially on on the web. And, it during the time when everyone thinks it's a conspiracy theory to say that the COVID origin is a is a lab leak, these this group of people, which includes, historians like you, but also like molecular geneticists, molecular biologists, internet sleuths, someone named the seeker who somehow has access to, to databases of viruses within the Wuhan lab itself that had been have been deleted. And, what comes to get for the what comes out of this process is a counternarrative. A counternarrative based on facts that were uncovered and and and and put out slowly over time. Can you tell me about drastic and your your involvement with it? What what did it accomplish actually? I we'll let me talk about that after after you tell us what what what what is it and what it what are you involved? Speaker 1: What it is is, a group of mostly scientists. There I would I've actually kept a record of all the members and everything that each of us has written. And so about 70%, 75% of the 20 ish members are scientists. And then there's a group of other just researchers like myself who have a research background or a journalist background. And I happen to be the only person with a military background and with with more experience in responding to biological weapons and things like that. And and also I've worked with the Department of State for 8 years. So so I have a more of a practical, nonscientific background. But really, it's just a group of and like you said, with the Seeker or just all of our members come from a variety of different academic scientific backgrounds. All of us were independently interested. We had questions about the origin and over time aggregated on Twitter. They actually started the first couple got together in right in early February of 2020. And in May of well, and so I don't know if you want to stop there before I go into like the specific things we did, but that's the general outline. 75% of our members are from the Eastern Hemisphere. So this is a very global 4 different continents, very global group of individuals. Speaker 0: And you find yourself on Twitter. You find each other on Twitter despite weird Twitter sense 1.0 censorship. You still manage I mean, Twitter in that sense was open enough so that you could still have these discussions. Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah. Speaker 0: One of the things that struck me about drastic was this, the the the access that some members of drastic had and then revealing it to the world of of these of these sequences of viruses that, that the the Wuhan lab were were playing with at the time. The Wuhan lab, had contracts to to bring viruses out of bat caves everywhere, bring it into the city into the city center of Wuhan where the Wuhan Institute of Virology is located and do experiments on those those viruses. Generally, when people do these kinds of experiments, they will, they'll share the data in the in this, like, global database of the sequences of these viruses and so on. But, it turns out based on the work of drastic, if I understand correctly, and please correct me if I'm not if I got this wrong, many of those sequences had had had been either not uploaded or deleted off off of these world databases. And somehow, drastic had had gotten access or it saved those sequences. They've been uploaded by Wuhan scientists to this to this global database of virus. Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's it's a little off. The there there was a viral database that had thousands of the the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been collecting, and it was an online access you could access it. We the the there was actually somebody else who noticed that the database had gone down. They went through Internet archive, and it was they they remain anonymous. That person brought it to drastic, and drastic started looking at, okay, what what what sequences are here. We started going back through all the research, and, actually, this is before I joined. But what they really started doing was, okay, we saw that on September 12, this database had been taken offline and then we also saw that the same night that on December 30, 2019, they were Shijin Li, the main virologist leading the lab, the main lab that has all the attention at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, On December 30th, she went back and made edits to the database even though it was offline. And so we couldn't see all the sequences that were there, but we did know that it was taken down. And then and we also have to note that the EcoHealth Alliance and many other places should have all this data and so they should be subpoenaed. I'm sure they are, but they should be subpoenaed for it. But from there, the other members are drastic. Like, the seeker found this thesis that was talked about this outbreak that took place in Mojang mine and in Southern China, Yunnan province of a SARS like virus. And then it was that mine from which many of the most interesting, pre SARS CoV 2 sequences were found. And so we were able to discover that link and some a couple from India named Mona and Rahul, they wrote the paper. The the seeker found this this paper in Chinese on a Chinese server. It was a thesis. And then Mona and Rahul were able to look at the sequences and kind of say, okay, well, this must be the mine. And they discovered that the Wuhan Institute or Xi Jingli had changed the name of this progenitor virus called ratg13 that looks very suspicious. And they discovered that that virus linked back to that mine from around that time along with other suspicious sequences. Speaker 0: I've seen that mentioned as a possible progenitor, but it doesn't have a furin cleavage site in it. Speaker 1: No. And we actually think, now that we look at it, it seems more likely that that sequence was tampered with itself, to to make it appear more distinct from the the SARS CoV-two virus. And so but drastic really found that we brought it to the attention of the media. And then they also other members, including myself, whenever I started joining at the outbreak and the suspicious early cases and the epidemiology of it. And also my main focus was the epidemiology stuff, but also tracking the scientific censorship. Because when I first joined drastic, I was looking at all the FOIA documents to end looking for and making discoveries based on those, such as I was able to show that that Fauci was involved with the censorship before his emails came out. And that's how I first came to the attention of of congressional investigators. Speaker 0: So there there And then Speaker 1: and then all of that kind of we all kind of coalesced. And I honestly believe in my heart that that what drastic did largely before I even got there in the 1st year in 2020, leading up to the World Health Organization investigation and its report, which was published on March 30th. I I think that without the pressure of those discoveries that drastic made, the the, the new Biden administration and Anthony Blinken, because of that, they ultimately rejected the WHO report on the origin. And I think it was because of the public pressure that we were able to get by exposing all of these suspicious links. Speaker 0: Right. Speaker 1: So And then all that and then, of course, all of that ultimately led into, the release of the diffuse proposal. Speaker 0: We'll get there. I wanna go I wanna tell the story in a little in more detail. But before we go onto that, I wanna just ask you about a question about the what you found regarding the censorship activities. Like, what specifically what mechanisms would Tony Fauci use to try to censor scientific debate on these topics? Well What leverage did he use? Speaker 1: So there are many levers, some of which have become well known now because of the Twitter files. But one other one that that I that I kind of discovered, I went through the Internet Internet archives and looked at, the the numbers of followers that, certain scientists had, certain well connected scientists who are very vocal about the the natural origin in defense of it and who were also connected to these censorship regimes. And what I discovered is that in the 3rd week of March of 2020, a whole series of different implicated scientists suddenly had their accounts verified on Twitter, which at the time could only be done like Twitter had to choose that. It's not like now where you pay to have a check mark and they were verified. Speaker 0: Thing about my, my Twitter. I joined it August 2021, and I tried to get verified. I'm a professor in a medical school. I have a lot of publications, and Twitter said I wasn't notable enough. And so I'm like, okay. I guess I'm not notable enough. Speaker 1: Well, that's also because you weren't the recipient of so there was censorship and and suppression of certain people, but then there was also artificial boosting of others. And that's what I discovered is that there was exponential growth. For instance, Trevor Bedford, who is one of the implicated scientists in this, who is involved behind the scenes with Proxima Origin, he he went from, like, 14,000 followers to 400,000 followers in a couple of months, and I went and crunched the numbers. And for a 6 week period, this unknown random phylogenetics expert was gaining more followers per day than Joe Rogan, who had 8,000,000 followers at the same time. So so right after that, we know that that there was major censorship regimes going on. But then the other the other, like, anecdote I'll I'll I'll just talk about briefly is that what what Fauci was doing in addition to working with these social media sites and Google, etcetera, He was he was also, censoring the science itself. And the way that he did this, he he he focused on the major journals. And and so I looked at the top 6 journals and and their sub journals like Science, Nature, Cell, New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and, and one other that I can't think of right now, but there were 6 that I looked at. And up until about a year ago, there'd been 258 articles that had some tie to the to the SARS CoV 2 origin. Only 7 of those were open to a lab origin. And then there was a big chunk that were unbiased, and then there were oh, gosh. Can't remember the number now. Basically, what it amounts to is that in the top 6 journals, there was a 19 to 1 ratio of articles in favor of natural origin versus a lab origin. But in all other journals, in all other journals, the ratio was 1.6 to 1. So it was really just in the top journals that most scientists see where they focused this suppression of any voices besides So I wanna I wanna take Speaker 0: the time to I mean, that's really interesting. And I you know, it wasn't just on the origins question. I I think if you talk look look about lockdowns, for instance, and lockdown Absolutely. Yeah. So I mean, I think it was and of course, on on early treatment, on vaccine efficacy, on a whole range of topics, I think you find some very similar kind of, vaccine efficacy, on a whole range of topics, I think you find some very similar kind of kind of numbers. But I wanna focus on one particular paper that gained a lot of attention, written by Michael Warby, on on the on the natural origins. And it's I think probably makes the most, important counterargument to the lab origin idea. The the this this paper, what it what it, it's it's an analysis of the early cases in Wuhan, China. The the the Wuhan Institute of Virology is located in obviously, in Wuhan, and the and the wet market where the the virus supposedly emerged in the natural origins lore, is is, you know, a few miles away. And this paper, it, like, it it very carefully seems to plot where every single case is, and then notices a fact that, in fact, it's not exactly only one version of the virus that's found. In fact, there's 2 different versions of the virus found, lineage a, lineage b of the virus, in proximity to not to the to the Wuhan laboratory, but in proximity to the wet market. And then they do a calculation of some probability calculation, Bayesian probability calculation, say, well, it's very, very unlikely that if it's a lab origin that you would have 2 different lineages found in proximity to the Wuhan, net wet market. And so therefore, it's much more likely to be a natural origin than it is to be a lab origin, right? That's the, I think, the story that Warby and et al write. And it's published in like, I forget where it's, like, Nature or that'd be a very prominent place. Speaker 1: There was a couple of them. Science published 2 of them, and then there was another one that along similar lines. And so the first thing to note about that argument is that the authors of that paper included the proximal origin authors. So the proximal origin authors I don't even know why they would do this, make it so obvious, but they literally included the approximate origin authors as authors on these papers. And the second thing I'll note is that when those papers were published, there was a wave of media articles and attention that was paid to it. So I tracked different waves. There were different short bursts of massive numbers of supporting news articles and stuff every time one of these papers came out. But in the paper itself, there's so many flaws. But the first and most basic one is that this analysis is based on data that was given by the Chinese, and it shows there were according to the Chinese, there was 174 cases. They used the World Health Organization reports official numbers that were given to them by China to which they offered no rebuttal. They just took them at face value. And so why should we assume that the Chinese would not have manipulated cherry picked or just there's no way to verify this data. So there's literally no way to say, okay, this point on the map, this, geo coordinate that was given is actually where that case came from. It's literally just they were handed sheets of paper with this data, and they took it. Speaker 0: So So so one one, you have to trust that the Chinese were reporting it. They were okay. So that's okay. That's one. But let's let's say they were. Like, I mean, I don't you don't you you shouldn't exclude that as a possibility. Is the paper right? Speaker 1: Well, even even in that case, the paper makes several errors. Without getting into too much detail, the way they chose their their little drawings, everything to the there was Weibo data that they referenced where they where I know for a fact that Michael Roby cherry picked the data because he didn't use the entire dataset because I analyze the same data. And, basically, what that was was Weibo is a like a a chat platform used by Chinese. And in Wuhan during the pandemic, there was a period of time where you could request emergency pickup because the majority of people don't own cars, and they couldn't they might have to walk really far to get to the hospital. And so there was this emergency alert system set up, and there was ultimately 1100 of these calls made and where and and this is really important because when you when you did this, you you had to show like your personal ID and stuff to show that it was a legit request. Hey, I'm sick and I need to go to the hospital. And what were we did, and this is just one example from the paper, But just within this one dataset, they cherry picked they didn't use the entire 1100. They went through and they chose a certain subset, and then they don't justify what that what the reasoning is for picking it. And I just happened to notice it because I also worked with that data. So there were multiple examples in that paper where they discussed the distribution of cases and then there was a partner paper that looked at the phylogenetics at the sequencing from the 2 lineages and in both papers, they make egregious errors that make the data invalid, but Science published those anyway. In fact, the editors of Science ultimately published them even though several members of Drastic reached out showing the arguments to these things, and they published it anyway. Speaker 0: The I mean, it also seems to me like there's a basic category or, like okay. So let's say let's take it as given that there's 2 lineages there and then that all of those are found only primarily within the wet market. That doesn't mean that it's not, lab origin. Right? So for instance, it could be that, 2 different lineages leaked out of the lab. There that the lab was working on 2 different lineages. That's it's also possible that, one lineage leaks and then there's a very quick evolution. I mean, this this virus obviously evolves very quickly and then lineage b comes out of out of some other an evolutionary process that happens post lab leak. Speaker 1: And they're just Speaker 0: picking up. Right? So so the I mean, that even even if you take it as given and and and you ignore all of the errors that you identified, and and you believe that that that that they haven't cherry picked the data and that that you believe the Chinese data, It doesn't even even by itself, I don't think, establish that there isn't a lab lead. Speaker 1: Correct. And yet but once again, when this paper came out, there were and I went and and calculated. Within 12 hours of that paper being released, there were 29 news articles published Wall Street. I don't know if it was Wall Street Journal, but New York Times, LA Times, all these different papers, the editors of Science, everybody was writing stories in support of the conclusions of this paper even though the conclusions just like in the Proximal Origin were highly questionable and and were completely they they ignored all of the they're still ignoring all the complaints and arguments against it. Speaker 0: Okay. So, let's let's move forward again in time just a little bit. The the the Lancet, which is a prominent medical journal, commissions organizes a commission led by a very very well known economist named Jeffrey Sachs. Mhmm. He he brings on board a lot of the a lot of the top virologists, but he also includes in this some of the, as you say, implicated scientists, like Peter Daszak, for instance, is involved in this Lancet Commission. And they issue a long report, and natural origin features as the primary explanation of that report for the origins of the virus. It was interesting because, a few months after that, Jeffrey Sachs came out and gave an interview saying he was duped. That in fact, that that the, that he didn't understand that some of the most the the the the the scientists that were included in that commission were actually had a very strong vested interest in it coming out a certain way against the idea of a lab lead. You you were you were I see you told me before we started on that you'd actually spoke with Jeffrey Sachs or you or you've had some con some some some opportunity to, like, learn about this. So what so how how did the how did the like, The Lancet is a prominent medical journal. How did they allow this to happen? Speaker 1: Well, the editor of The Lancet is a guy named Richard Horton, who is well known for mixing politics with science in terms of how he handles which articles get published in The Lancet. And Jeffrey Sachs, yes, I talked to him in the fall of 2022 after he'd he'd he'd started coming out in May of that year. And before he the final report was was to be published, and he was saying that, yes, he was duped. He he had we had a really good conversation, and he was telling me that that he couldn't believe that many scientists that he had known for his entire for 40 years had come out and lied directly to his face in in defending all these things. And he, of course, he, of course, when he was putting the commission, he asked for, okay, who are the experts in the fields of virology? And as it turns out, many like members of the Proxima Origin author crew, he asked Peter Daszak himself to come on and help because he knew him from social circles related to Columbia and EcoHealth being based in New York. And so he asked Peter Dasig to come on and kind of help organize that and recommend people for it. And he just Dasig just loaded the entire group with, people who were favorable and in support of this cover up. And it it was and when Sacks slowly came to realize this, he was horrified because he couldn't believe that so many scientists would lie directly to his face. And that's why he ultimately came out, wrote papers, a couple of really important papers and including the ultimate final report from the Lancet Commission. And but he was he finally had to he basically fired all those people from the commission and wrote the origin section himself. And it was kind of like a protest within the overall report. But, yes, he was he talked at length about being directly lied to by many, many scientists, and, he was horrified and disgusted by it. Speaker 0: Before we move on from the Lancet, because I wanna move next, so we basically, I think, done as best I can do, a job of trying to explain the basic argument for the natural origin and also the the the nature of the cover up of the idea that there was a debate about lab leak. I wanna move on next to to what the evidence in favor of a lab leak is, start with diffuse proposal. Before we go on, I wanna just I wanna, like, talk just for a minute about why would all these virologists come out? We already talked about the leaders, people like Tony Fauci, what what incentives they have. But why are virologists, people like Christian Andersen and others, why are they so willing, essentially, to mislead the public about this very, very basic question. Speaker 1: Well, at a fundamental level, it if it affects their livelihoods. The the entire field of virology has been arguing for quite some time about what the limits of experimentation should be with different viruses. And so if what they what they were what we have trusted scientists to do is to act ultimately in the best interest of the public who funds them and to not put the public at risk. But by its very nature, these experiments are incredibly risky. And of course, if it was found that this virus didn't come from nature but came from research tied to the scientists, it would destroy the entire field of virology in the eyes of the public and for good reason. And so this is an existential threat to their to their studies and what they're doing. Speaker 0: Yeah. I mean, it's it's, I I think it is I think you've hit it on the head. Right? So and and for many of them, they may it's, you know, it's one of these things. They may not realize how, how how this fact puts the blinders on them. Like, they they will look at the evidence differently simply because they have that interest, even subconsciously. They may not they might they might not realize that they're lying to someone like Jeffrey Sachs. Right? They're they they may I mean, some of them are lying. They know they're lying, but they but but but for many of them, they just they just say, well, I can't even fathom that we would be in a field that led to this pandemic. That just Speaker 1: could just Speaker 0: I can't I can't even admit it to myself. You lie to yourself first before you lie to others. Okay. So I wanna I wanna turn from because I think we've done as as as good a job as I I know how to do to try to make the case of the natural origins. I'm I'm sure there are other there are other things we could talk about, but I wanna keep this, keep this focused. Let's turn to the evidence of, in favor of the lab origin. And we've already talked about the furan cleavage site, but a lot of honest scientists I know would say, well, that's that's interesting, but it's not enough. So I but I so I wanna talk about some of the some of the evidence that's emerged since the Feuern cleaver site, that evidence emerged in in 2020, early 2020, January. But since then, there've been a lot a number of of developments, I think, that push the evidence in favor of the lab origin story. And I think primary among this is, something that I think you are very closely involved with, Charles, which is the diffuse proposal, which which is a proposal by, I think, the eco health alliance to the, to to to DARPA, Department of Defense kind of contract. And so please tell us about what is this diffuse proposal, what did it propose, and what and what does it say about this national origin versus lab lab leak kind of, debate? Speaker 1: So the DEFUSE proposal, as you said, it was a proposal submitted to DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, on March 27, 2018. And basically, what it proposed what's that? Speaker 0: 2018. Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah. 2018. And what it proposed was, well, there were there's 4 to 5, specific elements of of things that they wanted to do and look for in viruses, in certain coronaviruses. They wanna define stars like coronaviruses, and they wanted to manipulate them in several different ways, basically sewing them to different viruses together using chimera construction. They wanted to insert, cleavage, furin cleavage sites, human specific furin cleavage sites. They wanted to look for viruses that had high ACE2 affinity, and then they wanted to look for viruses that could utilize something called the DC sign receptor. And so these four main elements that were proposed specifically in this proposal happened to appear in only one virus on earth and that is the SARS CoV-two virus, which emerged magically out of the same city where this proposal was proposing to make this exact virus. Speaker 0: And so So just just to just to I wanna I mean I mean, I think you were very clear, but I wanna make sure, like, people understand. So the the group, this this this EcoHealth Alliance led by Peter Daszak, funded by Tony Fauci for other work, they put together a scientific proposal, a research program that they send to the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense and and this research proposal essentially looks like a cookbook for producing the SARS COV 2 virus. Correct. Some of the main the key features of the virus that make it able to infect humans and to go from human to human, and spread the way it has are are that that that that's part of the proposal itself. Speaker 1: Correct. And there's no other virus in nature that even remotely comes close to having all of these 4 elements in the same virus. Speaker 0: So research program put together in 2018. But the defense department turns it down, right? Speaker 1: Correct. And they turned it down for two reasons. The first is that there's clear gain of function work being proposed in the proposal. But within the proposal, they were trying to explicitly state that it wasn't gain of function work. And so this was an immediate red flag. Okay, this is clearly gain of function work. And the other reason that they did it is because the bat vaccine that they were proposing to ultimately, it was the end product from this, which was a spike nanoparticle delivery combo, very similar to ultimately the mRNA shot. They rejected it because it was it was partial epitope coverage. What that means is that normally when you create a vaccine, whether for humans or bats or whatever, you use the entire viral genome, And then you and then you deaden it in some way. You you put it into the animal, and then the the immune system responds to that whole virus. But when you only use the spike protein, it's guaranteed to drive evolution. They knew this and this was explicitly what DARPA was rejecting. They said this can't work in bats. And so it is ironic that immediately after that rejection, like a contract with the Moderna was signed and then, ultimately, they went with this knowing that that there were these problems with this type of technology. Speaker 0: So just I mean, I that's a that's a fact I didn't know, which is really interesting. So the the the proposed proposal also proposes a vaccine for bats, And which has some features of the the COVID vaccines that are ultimately used, in humans. Presumably not exact. It's it's it's, you know, because it always struck me as as surprising that we had a vaccine candidate so quickly as soon as we knew the sequence of this virus in January 2020. But in January in just in March 2018, there's a there's a proposal out then, it sounds like, from exactly these groups that are implicated, for a research program to both engineer a virus that looks has features that are similar to SARS CoV-two and also to produce a vaccine, which I assume they would just go to the back caves of China and spray it around or something to to try to Speaker 1: get it into the back. Correct. They had this goal to like aerosolize it. And to be honest, myself, the other members of Drastic, we don't believe that that was really ever the serious part of the proposal because ultimately, the work before that, dealing with creating chimeric viruses, was 80% or more the same as what they were already doing in 2 other grants, 1 funded by NIAID and the other funded by USAID. And so I'll Speaker 0: tell you. I I mean, I've been funded by NIH for most of my career. And here's what I was told when I was a young scientist. You, because in order to get something funded, you have to convince a group of very skeptical people, scientists, that what you could or proposing to do is possible. Correct. The easiest way to do that is just to do it. Show them that you've done it, some version of it at least, and, and then and then that maximizes the chance of you getting funded. Speaker 1: That's right. Speaker 0: And so There's a very blur there's a blur between what you propose and what you've already done. Speaker 1: That that's correct. In fact, Andrew Huff, who I know very well now, who is the whistleblower who worked at EcoHealth Alliance, one of the main things he he he talks about is the fact that they always worked ahead. They they always the different teams that they would work with, including Wuhan Institute of Virology and, Ralph Barrick at University of North Carolina, they always worked ahead. And and he saw this in the 2 grants that were already active when he was there. And and so, of course, there's no reason to suspect anything other than they were already working on this because it was actually there's only a few it was the same exact personnel as these other two groups, and there's only 1 or 2 additional steps that needed to be done to the virus, chimeric viruses that were already being created in order to produce a virus that looks like SARS CoV-two. Speaker 0: Charles, how did the diffuse proposal come to the attention of the public? Speaker 1: So this is the part that that most people don't know. And so, yeah, it's it's good to be able to to state it for the record. But the diffuse proposal was discovered by, now lieutenant colonel. And on the the highest classification server that the military has, it's called JWIX. And it was an unmarked document, which is that's against all of the rules of classified documents. And it but he found it on this online server while he was a presidential fellow at DARPA working in the biological technologies office. And he'd he reached out to me initially for for other reasons, but he he found me because of drastic, and he was trying to he had information that he wanted to bring forward to the public. And then ultimately, while we were communicating in the summer of 2021, he came across these documents. And these what's interesting and important about them in the fact that the way that they were found is that these documents were placed on this server during the 90 day window that President Biden had set for the investigation into the origin, asking the intelligence communities, asking the Director of National Intelligence to report on all the information, all the intelligence gathered as to the origin. Well, so the first thing for people to understand is that when we found this document, my and he and he and he he showed it to me, and we were fig and we were we decided, okay, we're going to leak this. The public needs to see this because it's too important. And when so as we were as we were just basically, I I decided he gave it to me to leak, and I decided the best way to do that would be to bring it to my fellow drastic members, have us look at it, analyze what it actually means, provide an an unbiased explanation of what we found in it and what it what the implications might be, and then release the full documents to the public. And so I took the documents. I kind of coordinated that. But one key thing is that as we were putting that together on April or on August 25th or 27th, 2021, the Biden report on the origin was released, and it was incredibly short. And it didn't mention anything about the evidence that was clearly found by intelligence officials and placed into the server. It didn't mention anything about it. In fact, it went out of its way to say that the fear in Cleveland site was natural, that everybody agreed that it was a natural origin, etcetera. But I was holding in my hands when that was published, I was holding in my hands the evidence that the intelligence community was lying to the American people and to the president of the United States because we had evidence from them showing that what they were saying was wrong and that they were lying. And so, ultimately, I'm I'm I'm grateful that we decided to leak it in the way that we did because without that, the public wouldn't know that this recipe book existed that tied all these people together. Speaker 0: So, Charles so, Charles, it like, it's it's I mean, that's a really shocking thing. So what does it what does it mean that they didn't that the people like, Dazsak and and others didn't tell the public about this proposal that so clearly impinges on this vital question of public interest? Speaker 1: Well, from my perspective, and then, like, I haven't really discussed this, too much, but from my perspective, the reason why this wasn't released is because this the diffuse proposal is evidence of intent. And so in a court of law and in a criminal case to to to prosecute somebody for a criminal act, there's 2 parts. There's mens rea and there's actus reus. And mens reus is simply the intent the level of intent and what what your reasoning was to commit a crime, and actus reus is the actual act itself. And typically, the intent is the harder thing to prove in a criminal case and it is so important that the outcome, if somebody is convicted of a crime, the level of intent is what determines the severity of the punishment, so whether it's first degree murder or second degree murder, etcetera. But in this case, this document is evidence of intent to create a virus that looks exactly like SARS CoV-two that has 4 to 5 specific, artificial elements to the viral genome that that make it appear unnatural, that derive that would be the product of the research that they proposed, most of which they were already doing under 2 other grants. And so the fact that so they would not they would never release this because they wouldn't they wouldn't want somebody to be able to bring that into the court of law and to the court of public opinion to show, that that's half the act right there, and all you all that's missing is the actual the evidence itself. So Speaker 0: That they did it. Okay. I think, I wanted to talk a little bit, and we've gone over past not long. I wanted I'd like I promised you, but I think this is very important. So maybe we could just talk briefly about this. The the whole idea of doing work to make viruses more transmissible, to to to cause disease to that where in humans where otherwise wouldn't be able to do that, that isn't just a new thing. I mean, you or you mentioned, as you said, when we were talking about the diffuse proposal in 2018, but that that whole research program goes back much longer than that, at least a decade or 2. Speaker 1: Absolutely. Gain of function work is has been going on for many decades and in particular, ever since, the post-nineeleven era is really when what used to be the domain of defense research agencies kind of merged with the public health apparatus after September 11th and Fauci, doctor Fauci was placed in control of all of that. And it was and I think what that did was that added an element of, well, just public private partnership that was really dangerous. You should never mix research that could have, a potential negative impact that could be used for biological weapons research, for example. It's dangerous to merge that with any sort of public entity. And and what what they basically did was and this was led by doctor Fauci. They basically turned this into a program of creating viruses and or just pathogens tweaking them with with the goal of also creating countermeasures to those and basically to protect the public against the potential for such a virus to emerge in the future, whether it's naturally or engineered by somebody else. And so that's, like, the whole the care of the program. Speaker 0: I mean, the the the the program then, the argument for it is that we can find viruses in the wild before they infect humans, develop countermeasures like vaccines to them, again, before they so there's before they infect humans. And, and and, I mean, that's the civilian argument for it. I mean, with the the in principle, it could also be a a military argument, which I don't have access to, but it's possible. But are there are there examples of this research program actually preventing any, viral outbreak or pathogenic outbreak, in humans? Speaker 1: None that I've found. In fact, there's plenty of evidence going back decades to show that in fact, I think it's recently been shown in papers in Nature or Science that there was an H1N1 outbreak in 1976 or 1977. And what they discovered is that that was an exact genetic match for, from an outbreak from 1950. And so what that that appears that outbreak, that global pandemic, appears to have been the result of a lab leak of a previous of a of a previous, strain and that's just one example and there's hundreds of examples of lab leaks taking place and there's no examples of successful preemptive measures reducing any of these things? None. Speaker 0: It struck me in some of the FOIA documents from, that we discussed at the very beginning of this podcast, where the people like Jeremy Farrar, the head of the Wellcome Trust, were explicitly acknowledging that a lot of the research around the the coronaviruses that was going on, in Wuhan, were using, biosecurity procedures that were quite lax, you know, kind of akin to what you'd get in a dentist office or something, to to look at research that that that would potentially have produced this virus. Speaker 1: That's correct. In fact, the authors of the Proxima Origin paper themselves, Christine Anderson, Robert Gary, and and, and even doctor Fauci were remarking on the fact they couldn't believe that this type of research could be taking place in such a lax laboratory environment. Now publicly publicly, they said the opposite. They they never mentioned any of their own fears and concerns about this, but privately, that's exactly what they believed. Speaker 0: Okay. So I wanna end, this this podcast with with, with some the thoughts about what we what has to happen going forward. And in particular, I wanna I wanna focus on, you know, we're in the middle of, the World Health Organization is the middle of of crafting a treaty about how to manage future pandemics, how to how to prepare for them in advance. And and, the entire world potentially will sign on to this paradigm. One of the key elements, I think, of this kind of pandemic preparedness is exactly this kind of of research work to try to predict which viruses are going to make the leap. Yeah. It seems like the world is on the verge of signing on to this program that may have produced this pandemic into the future that we, in fact, are, it's as if we had the the the atomic bomb has been dropped and, and, we're we're doing, overground testing of of of of our nuclear weapon stocks. And, you know, there there are people getting essentially poisoned by the radiation from it, and the world then looking at the evidence of that radiation poisoning of people during the from these nuclear testing sets, let and and, you know, groundwater getting poised by nuclear nuclear fallout or whatever. Let's sign on to this research program, do more nuclear testing forever. Speaker 1: That's that's a really good example because, ultimately and this is this is one of the main motivations for me is is fighting this. We have to expose the truth about whatever that happened. I don't know exactly what the truth is. But what I do know is we have to understand the truth of this pandemic, and the public has to understand it because ultimately, it's the public that's impacted by all these different measures and things like this. And if they know the truth, then the more that the public is educated about the truth, the more that they will fight against all these other measures because they will realize that the same people who are proposing these measures may be the same ones that drove and caused this pandemic in the first place, either by negligence or something else and that's unacceptable. This is a matter of we've seen that this is a matter of protecting our freedoms here in the US. We've already seen the infringements and we're seeing it all around the world. And so for me, my purpose in trying to get all this information to the public is so that the public can be the be the masters of their own destiny instead of these organizations that that clearly do not have our best interest at heart. Because whether or not they created the virus, their response to the virus was antithetical to what it should have been, and you know this incredibly well. And so they can only weaponize it against us to the degree to which we're uninformed. And so that's that's why I'm doing this, and I know that's why you're you've been fighting the same fights in different areas. Speaker 0: I mean, I I think this is a much bigger threat than nuclear proliferation to the the future of mangrove. Absolutely. That's why I've been involved with this. And I think, you know, it's striking, we talked a little bit about the the the cross, whether it's military use or not military use. Strikes me is that if it's suppose it's not military use, that in a in a in a way, that's an even bigger threat than if it's military use. If it's if it's not a bioweapon, it's that bigger threat. Because what you have then is a a cadre of scientists who are convinced that they're doing good for the world. They're doing these experiments in order to prevent people from getting sick. And when people have convinced themselves that they're doing good, they often do reckless things that they otherwise would never would do. Dangerous experiments. Lying to themselves and then eventually to others about the having conducted those dangerous experiments. The the the the the the the work and then convincingly, it's much more easy to convince leaders, I think, of this, especially when you when you're when you think when you think you have good intentions. And I think that I don't know about everybody, but I think a lot of the scientists involved are in this situation. A lot of the virologists involved are in this situation where they went into a field in order to do good for people, learn about the way the viruses work and so that we can develop better treatments and cures and treat, and and maybe even prevent people from getting infected. And but they find themselves at the in the crosshairs of this pandemic where the their entire research agenda, not maybe not themselves, but their but their colleagues, might have caused all of this. And, I think that that's the problem that we currently face. It's we have to I agree with you, Charles. We have to get the truth. We have to get to the bottom of this because the the the very future of our our our societies, the the the health of our children, the health of our our our societies altogether depend on learning what that truth is and acting on it. Speaker 1: Abs absolutely. And and and scientists, they've betrayed their, this is this may result. If if the truth is what it seems to be based on the evidence, then there's gonna the collapse of trust in science and the medical establishment is going to be extreme. And I, as somebody who appreciates science and understands the moment in history where we are, that is exponential growth of technology, This is when we need to trust science more than ever. But at the same time, the truth is more important because, ultimately, it's about, saving human lives and and protecting our freedoms, and that's more important than than science or medicine. Speaker 0: So Speaker 1: I Speaker 0: mean, I and I think, ultimately, there is there isn't a trade off there. If the truth comes out and scientists are part of telling of that truth, scientists like you, ultimately, that will that will vindicate science. But if if the illusion of consensus over the, origins, the the suppression of debate and discussion, the smearing of people, the reputations of people who are dissidents continues, all scientists will face the same fate that which is that the public will no longer trust any Speaker 1: of us. Speaker 0: Okay. On that, on that sour note, I think, I wanna thank you for for joining me in this conversation and for the work that you've done, which has been incredible. Please, please keep doing it because we we, you know, the public needs to know. This has been, professor Jay Bhattacharya in conversation with Charles Rixey for the illusion of consensus podcast.

William Gallagher updates his analysis on the differences between RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2, arguing against the lab creation theory. He presents several claims, including the unusual PRRA sequence, RNA alignment issues, and mutation rates suggesting a long divergence time. Gallagher speculates on the virus's origins, proposing a mixed bat infection leading to human transmission via travel. However, he faces criticism regarding geographical inconsistencies, timing of infection, and the dismissal of the pangolin hypothesis. He also discusses the potential for lab-related mutations, emphasizing the complexity of the virus's evolution.

1/4 In http://virological.org/t/tackling-rumors-of-a-suspicious-origin-of-ncov2019/384โ€ฆ 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

3/4 His second claim: "Then one looks at the actual RNA alignment. The โ€œinsertโ€ is actually not in frame, but CTCCTCGGCGGG, or -2 out of frame. Again, who does that?

@BillyBostickson - Billy Bostickson ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

4/4 His third claim: "But the PROOF lies in looking at the 288 alignable nucleotides on either side of the โ€œinsertโ€. 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

8/ ? He points out: โ€œInsertโ€ 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

9/ ? sequence context has other similarities, i.e โ€œcagacโ€ upstream & a โ€œcโ€ downstream of โ€œinsertโ€: 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

20/ ? (Nature versus Lab (3) 3. RNA alignment: โ€œinsertโ€ 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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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 ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘&๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ†“

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.

Identifying SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses in Malayan pangolins - Nature The ongoing outbreak of viral pneumonia in China and across the world is associated with a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-21. This outbreak has been tentatively associated with a seafood market in Wuhan, China, where the sale of wild animals may be the source of zoonotic infection2. Although bats are probable reservoir hosts for SARS-CoV-2, the identity of any intermediate host that may have facilitated transfer to humans is unknown. Here we report the identification of SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses in Malayan pangolins (Manis javanica) seized in anti-smuggling operations in southern China. Metagenomic sequencing identified pangolin-associated coronaviruses that belong to two sub-lineages of SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses, including one that exhibits strong similarity in the receptor-binding domain to SARS-CoV-2. The discovery of multiple lineages of pangolin coronavirus and their similarity to SARS-CoV-2 suggests that pangolins should be considered as possible hosts in the emergence of new coronaviruses and should be removed from wet markets to prevent zoonotic transmission. SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses are identified in Malayan pangolins (Manis javanica); these pangolin-associated coronaviruses belonged to two sub-lineages of SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses, including one that exhibits strong similarity in the receptor-binding domain to SARS-CoV-2. nature.com

I explored the complexities of HIV-based virus-like particles and lentiviruses in vaccine development, discussing various theses about HIV "inserts" in other viruses. I examined arguments for and against the deliberate insertion of these sequences, highlighting safety concerns and the potential for contamination in lab settings. I also reviewed recent research on horizontal gene transfer and the implications of findings related to RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2. Ultimately, I concluded that the evidence suggests these inserts are not naturally occurring but rather artifacts of laboratory processes.

DNA Vaccinesโ€”How Far From Clinical Use? Two decades ago successful transfection of antigen presenting cells (APC) in vivo was demonstrated which resulted in the induction of primary adaptive immune responses. Due to the good biocompatibility of plasmid DNA, their cost-efficient production and long shelf life, many researchers aimed to develop DNA vaccine-based immunotherapeutic strategies for treatment of infections and cancer, but also autoimmune diseases and allergies. This review aims to summarize our current knowledge on the course of action of DNA vaccines, and which factors are responsible for the poor immunogenicity in human so far. Important optimization steps that improve DNA transfection efficiency comprise the introduction of DNA-complexing nano-carriers aimed to prevent extracellular DNA degradation, enabling APC targeting, and enhanced endo/lysosomal escape of DNA. Attachment of virus-derived nuclear localization sequences facilitates nuclear entry of DNA. Improvements in DNA vaccine design include the use of APC-specific promotors for transcriptional targeting, the arrangement of multiple antigen sequences, the co-delivery of molecular adjuvants to prevent tolerance induction, and strategies to circumvent potential inhibitory effects of the vector backbone. Successful clinical use of DNA vaccines may require combined employment of all of these parameters, and combination treatment with additional drugs. mdpi.com

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

Root cause of COVID-19? Biotechnology's dirty secret: Contamination. Bioinformatics evidence demonstrates that SARS-CoV-2 was created in a laboratory, unlikely to be a bioweapon but most likely a result of sloppy experiments Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) were using Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) derived plasmids, cotransfecting them along with SARS-like virus derived spike gene plasmids, into human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells. This created pseudoviruses so that the experiment can be performed in a Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) laboratory instead of the BSL-4 required for SARS-like viruses. Their spike gene plasmid solution however, could of course be contaminated with SARS-like viruses due to inadequate purification, which infect the HEK cells. With HEK cells containing transfected HIV-1 genetic material, novel recombinant SARS-like viruses can be created with HIV-1 derived inserts. Such novel coronaviruses would have been exposed to laboratory workers and animals during handling, especially in a relaxed BSL-2 setting, thus resulting in SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. Researchers identified the signature of 4 such HIV-1-like inserts in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Two more inserts identified in the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1a protein are described here. All inserts have high homology to HIV-1 sequences. Contamination is a fundamental problem that plagues drugs, vaccines, biologics, diagnostics and laboratory research materials. The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries have done next to nothing about it. Egg, milk protein contaminated vaccines cause egg/milk allergy. Animal/plant/fungal protein contaminated vaccines cause the explosion of autoimmune disorders. Insulin injections are contaminated with yeast proteins which results in de novo autoimmune disorders. Rotavirus vaccines are contaminated with viable porcine circoviruses. Animal tissue and serum used in vaccine manufacturing are derived from animals infected by numerous diseases. And of course coronavirus infected animal material contaminating vaccines, cause IgE mediated sensitization against coronavirus proteins thus leading to COVID-19 severity. Products used in humans are supposed to be held to a โ€œhigher standardโ€. So what level of contamination can we expect in diagnostics and materials used in laboratory research? The WIV was experimenting with numerous SARS-like coronaviruses (SARS-L-CoV). The HEK were grown using fetal calf serum. So their experiments were contaminated with SARS-L-CoV and its genetic material, HIV-1 and its genetic material, any bovine viruses in the fetal calf serum, human viruses in HEK and their genetic material. When a cell is infected with multiple viruses or contaminated with genetic material from multiple viruses, recombination can occur creating novel viruses. With millions of cells contaminated as above, the Wuhan laboratory (and other such laboratories) were incubators for novel viruses including coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2. The laboratories in China were also notorious for leaking viruses. So it was only a matter of time before a virus with human-to-human transmission capability would leak. It did, in November 2019. Biosafety is a misnomer. These are biohazard laboratories. These laboratories, around the world, must be immediately shut down before they wipe out humanity with the next disease. zenodo.org

He discovered a virus called Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCM) that doctors often misdiagnose. Lyme disease was also weaponized by Traub. Selective animal passages were used for biological weapons development during WWII, providing plausible deniability. Biological warfare allows for directed attacks while blaming nature. The use of tainted polio vaccines infected many in the US. Books like "The Sleeper Agent" and "Lab 257" provide more details on Traub and Plum Island. Ticks are effective vectors of human pathogens due to their unique characteristics. The Bug Pit in Bukhara and recent experiments infecting monkeys with tick-borne viruses are also mentioned. UTMB is breeding deadly ticks to feast on humanized mice in Texas.

Chimpanzees engage in intergroup conflict to protect their resources and spheres of influence, similar to humans. The evolution of cooperation in large groups is driven by competition with out-groups. In-group cohesion increases when facing out-group competition. Intergroup contact can reduce prejudice and foster cooperation, but without equal status, common goals, intergroup cooperation, and support from authorities, stereotypes may prevail. Violence can be reduced when resources are abundant.

Cover-ups have been prevalent throughout history, from Watergate to the Covid-19 pandemic. These methods follow a pattern: initial denial, attacking critics, manipulating evidence, and controlling the narrative. Defenses include limited confessions, biased evidence, and intimidating whistleblowers. Publicity management involves bribing the press and retaliating against hostile media. Later, claiming ignorance, scapegoating, and legal delays are common. The end game includes influencing judges, rewarding participants, and avoiding punishment. Examples like the UK's HIV-infected blood scandal highlight the extent of cover-ups. #CoverUps #Covid19

Edward Holmes on being asked why they didn't release the SARS-CoV-2 genome when they got it: "...essentially there were instructions that there's no publicizing the outbreak, so we kept it to ourselves, we told the key people in China..but we were told not to release the data..."

Video Transcript AI Summary
On January 8, 2020, the speaker was asked why they didn't release the genome earlier. They explained that they received the sequence on January 5 and released it on January 11. Initially, they tried to convince Professor Zhang to release it, but there was pressure in China to withhold data. However, as other groups also had the sequence and the pressure to release it grew, they reached a breaking point. Eventually, they persuaded Zhang to give them the sequence, and they released it. The speaker acknowledged the complexity of the situation in China and mentioned that it would have been different if it were a Western issue.

Speaker 0: Why did you and Professor Zheng not release the genome on January 8, 2020, once GenBank had already processed it? Speaker 1: So we got the sequence on the 5th Of January. And I released it on 11th. Over that week, I want I was trying to get I didn't have to see this myself until about less than an hour before I released Okay. I was trying to get Professor Zhang to release it but they were under great pressure in China not to release any data. The other groups had the sequence as well. And essentially, there was, there were instructions that there should be no publicizing of the outbreak? So we kept it to ourselves. We told the key people in China, right, people actually on the ground during the outbreak. But we were not. We were told not to release the data. As that wheat wore on and I'd say other groups had it as well As that week wore on, it became untenable to keep it to ourselves. As soon as they released it as soon as they said it was a coronavirus and the pressure grew online To release it. So it got to kind of breaking point. And, I then persuaded Zhang to give me the sequence, and I released it. So It was it was that. We were under I think you can't I think it's very, it was it's very hard to judge these people because the politics are very, very complicated there. Okay. So it's not a simple thing. If it's a Western thing, it would be different, but it's not necessarily easy when dealing with China. Speaker 0: We had a couple of others in the room.

Synthetic viral genomics pose risks and benefits for science and society. No Seem sites remove evidence of restriction sites, allowing seamless assembly of desired mutations. Esp3I enzymes enable interconnecting junctions to be systematically removed during assembly. Full-length cDNAs of coronaviruses have been assembled using seamless assembly. Dual-use concerns and potential bioterrorism implications exist. Chimeric coronaviruses and humanized zoonotic viruses raise unknown pathogenicity concerns. Genetic manipulation and removal of signatures suggest the ability to engineer and modify viruses undetectably. The origin of SARS-CoV-2 remains uncertain.

By orientating the restriction sites as โ€œNo Seeโ€™mโ€, the sites are removed during reassembly, leaving only the desired mutation in the final DNA product.

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 โ€œuniversal connectorsโ€ that can be joined with any other four nucleotide restriction site overhangs (e.g. EcoRI, PstX1, BamH1)

Another approach might be to โ€œhumanizeโ€ 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).

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: โ€œThen any spike could be substituted into the genome of SARSr-CoV WIV1 through this strategy.โ€

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.

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.

All the above about WIV research is taken verbatim from an excellent article by Andre Leu on the website of @OrganicConsumer COVID 19: The Spike and the Furin Cleavage https://www.organicconsumers.org/blog/covid-19-spike-and-furin-cleavage

which I am told is copied from the truly excellent paper by @Rossana38510044 and @ydeigin Genetic structure of SARSโ€CoVโ€2 does not rule out a laboratory origin SARSโ€COVโ€2 chimeric structure & furin cleavage site might be the result of genetic manipulation https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bies.202000240
