what open-source intell uncovered by UK reveals vis-a-vis Shi Zhengli

5-6-20    Substantial alterations to the WIV database on the evening of Dec. 30, the day before the World Health Organization was alerted to the outbreak of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, are just another indication that the Chinese Communist Party is hiding something when it comes to the origins of COVID-19…..at some point while Shi Zhengli was on that train ride to Wuhan on 12-30-19 alterations were made to her database which contained records of bat ­viruses transmitted to other wild animals.

  Most of the changes were to delete the keywords “wildlife” or “wild animals.” This is significant, because global health researchers say the virus jumped from bats to humans via another wild animal — the crucial “missing link” in the COVID-19 transmission chain.

Shi used to boast that her bat-virus database was unique because it included data on virus variants in other wild animals.

  Was her database censored to keep prying eyes away from references to cross-species transmission of viruses in wild animals?

For instance, the title of the ­database was changed that night from “Wildlife-borne viral pathogen database” to “Bat and rodent-borne viral pathogen database.”

“Wild animal” was replaced with “bat and rodent” or “bat and rat” at least 10 times in the database.  Also, a reference to “arthropod vectors” was removed.  “Wild animal” was replaced with “bat and rodent” or “bat and rat” at least 10 times in the database. Also, a reference to “arthropod vectors” was removed.

  Keywords that might facilitate searches potentially connecting the database with the outbreak also were deleted. “Wild animal samples,” “viral pathogen data,” “emerging infectious diseases” and “cross-species infection” were keywords associated with the original version.

  On Dec. 30 they were replaced with “bat,” “rodent” and “virus.”

“It looks like a rushed, inconsistent effort to disassociate the project from the outbreak by ­rebranding it,” says the British open-source intelligence analyst who found the alterations.  He surmises: “If the WIV had found the missing link between bat virus RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2 [the coronavirus that causes COVID-19] from an animal vector, it would have been in Shi’s database.”    https://nypost.com/2020/05/06/what-is-china-covering-up-about-the-coronavirus-devine/
