NIH admits to funding risky coronavirus research in Wuhan

On October 20, 2021, the NIH’s principal deputy director, Lawrence A. Tabak sent letters to members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce (after months of congressional demands) he acknowledged funding research that resulted in an "unexpected" coronavirus gain-of-function. [1, 2] The letter acknowledged that EcoHealth Alliance: "did indeed enhance a bat coronavirus to become potentially more infectious to humans, which the NIH letter described as an “unexpected result” of the research it funded that was carried out in partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology." "violated the terms of its grant conditions stipulating that it had to report ["immediately"] if its research increased the viral growth of a pathogen by tenfold," [“a one log increase in growth.”] The letter stated that "The research plan was reviewed by NIH in advance of funding, and NIH determined that it did not to fit the definition of research involving enhanced pathogens of pandemic potential (ePPP)", curiously the next day, on October 21, 2022, the NIH set up a redirect from it's Gain-of-Function web page to a new ePPP page! According to HHS's P3CO framework, "Enhanced PPP do not include naturally occurring pathogens that are circulating in or have been recovered from..> READ MORE

Daszak: COVID-19 is “Disease X”

On February 27, 2020, Peter Daszak wrote an Opinion in New York Time stating COVID-19 is Disease X which they've been telling us was coming and that CEPI was preparing for with fast, new vaccine platforms. Peter Daszak heads up EcoHealth Alliance and funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan labs, the very labs he helped investigate as potential origin of SARS-CoV-2. But this pandemic "will challenge us in new ways, as people try to evade quarantines, and misinformation campaigns and conspiracy theorists ply their trade in open democracies."  More to the point he states "the really big picture: Pandemics are on the rise, and we need to contain the process that drives them, not just the individual diseases."  "Plagues are not only part of our culture; they are caused by it." "These spillovers are increasing exponentially" he stats, [that is the  "Eco" and "Health" connection] because "our ecological footprint brings us closer to wildlife in remote areas and the wildlife trade brings these animals into urban centers" aka the wet market in China!

USAID launch EPT-2 disease threat response program

In November 2014, USAID launched their Emerging Pandemic Threats program 2 (EPT-2). EPT-2 is focused on mitigating the impact of novel “high consequence pathogens” that originate in animals with a goal of enabling early detection of new disease threats, effectively controlling those threats, enhancing national-level preparedness in advance of outbreaks, and ultimately reducing the risk of these diseases emerging by minimizing human behaviors and practices that trigger the “spill over and spread” of new pathogens. [1] EPT-2 has three overarching purposes: the prevention of new zoonotic disease emergence, the early detection of new threats when they do emerge,and their timely and effective response EPT2 consists of a suite of One Health Investments, PREDICT 2, One Health Workforce, and the Preparedness & Response, that contribute to each of these goals and are complemented by strategic investments in key partners including the CDC, U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, and the World Health Organization. "PREDICT, a project of USAID’s Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT) program, was initiated in 2009 to strengthen global capacity for detection and discovery of zoonotic viruses with pandemic potential.  ...PREDICT is continuing to build platforms for disease surveillance and for identifying and monitoring pathogens that can be shared between animals..> READ MORE

Australian journalist provides evidence that the WIV housed live bats

On June 13, 2021 Australian Sky News journalist Sharri Markson reveals more coverups by trusted experts investigating the Chinese Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The question whether the virus originated from the WIV lab is looking more and more plausible by the day. Facts as we now know them: The French built and funded the WIV, and once finished they were kicked out. The lab workers had no prior experience in a Level 4 Biosecuirty Lab (BSL-4), the place where highly dangerous virus experimentation was undertaken. The lab did house live bats, a fact previously denied, and deflected blame to a Wuhan wet-market which was known did not have live bats. The lab housed bats as revealed in May 2017 launch video  for the WIV lab, as obtained from Chinese Academy of Science. In December 2020 Daszak stated that the lab does not have live or dead bats, then in June 2021 he does a 180 turn and state’s he didn’t ask them, and wouldn’t be surprised if the lab did have bats. The WIV research team had collected over 15,000 bat samples, to isolate and characterise new viruses.  The database was wiped clean by an alleged hacker in Sept..> READ MORE
