PARTIAL CHRONOLOGY OF GAIN-OF-FUNCTION EXPERIMENTS

  Another meticulous investigation of U.S. government databases reveals that Pentagon funding for the EcoHealth Alliance from 2013 to 2020, including contracts, grants and subcontracts, was just under $39 million.  Most, $34.6 million, was from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), which is a branch of the DOD… $20 million came from Health and Human Services ($13 million, which includes National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control), National Science Foundation ($2.6 million), Department of Homeland Security ($2.3 million), Department of Commerce ($1.2 million), USAID ($2.5 million)….

  So, total U.S. government funding for EcoHealthAlliance to-date stands at $123 million, approximately one third of which comes from the Pentagon directly.  The full funding breakdown is available here and is summarized by year, source, and type, in a spreadsheet format

  The figure for EHA’s USAID funding was obtained from theUniversity of California at Davis, a major grantee of PREDICT funds, which EHA has been a major sub-grantee of Davis confirmed that EHA’s funding from PREDICT totaled $64,722,669 (PREDICT-1: 2009 to 2014:  $19,943,214; PREDICT-2:  2014 to present (2020)$44,779,455)    https://www.independentsciencenews.org/news/peter-daszaksecohealth-alliance-has-hidden-almost-40-million-in-pentagon-funding/

5-17-21       CHRONOLOGY OF GAIN-OF-FUNCTION / GAIN-OF-THREAT EXPERIMENTS W/ BAT & BIRD VIRUSES CULMINATING IN THE CREATION OF SARS-CoV-2 ALONG WITH RELEVANT LITERATURE

  

  Also in 2006, Baric hoping to come up with a “vaccine strategy” for SARS, produced noninfectious virus replicon particles using the Venezuelan-equine-encephalitis virus (an American germ-warfare agent), which they fitted with various SARS spike proteins. Then, wearing Tyvek suits and two pairs of gloves each, and working in a biological safety cabinet in a BSL-3-certified laboratory, they cloned and grew recombinant versions of the original SARS virus in an incubator in a medium that held African-green-monkey cells.  When they had grown enough virus the scientists swapped out one kind of spike protein for a carefully chosen mutant, and they challenged their prototype vaccine with it in mice. 

    DECEMBER 2006 Shi Zheng Li a researcher at Wuhan Institute of Virology co-authors an article with Peter Daszak describing whole-genome sequences of two novel bat coronaviruses from Chinese horseshoe bats that target the ACE2 - ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME 2 receptor, just like SARS-CoV-2 does. 

    2007 Dr. Shi Zhengli:  In this study, we investigated the receptor usage of the SL-CoV S by combining a human immunodeficiency virus-based pseudovirus system with cell lines expressing the ACE2 molecules of human, civet or horseshoe bat.…the chimeric S covering the previously defined receptor-binding domain gained its ability to enter cells via human ACE2.”   In layman’s terms:  We found this SARS-like virus ("S") that couldn’t infect human cells.  So, we combined S with parts of HIV, which does infect human cells, to see if this new S could infect human cells.  The new S ("chimeric S") can infect human cells….  

      At the time when it was launched by Jacques Chirac and his Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, in 2004, the Wuhan P4 was at the heart of a showdown in France.  Those in favor, politicians and scientists, said that China, which had barely emerged from SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), should be helped to defend itself against epidemics.  But Defense, External Intelligence (DGSE) and Foreign Affairs were standing against a project that they believed could serve a military bacteriological weapon program.  They suspected that Beijing would want to equip itself with five or seven P4 laboratories, including two for military purposes. "We knew the risks involved and thought that the Chinese would control everything and quickly eject us from the project.  We believed that providing this cutting-edge technology to a country with an infinite power agenda risked exposing France in return, ”said a diplomat who followed the case closely.  According to a high-ranking source, the project would also have provoked a crisis in Pasteur, where the Assembly of the Hundred, the parliament of the Institute, would have denounced the access authorized by the contract to some of its databases, before see the decision imposed by its management.  "There were arguments, because China has a real medical problem with epidemics and France had an advantage in this technology very advanced. But the Chinese know how to copy and duplicate.  And we thought the P4 would give China instruments if it ever wanted to start a biological weapons program," said a senior diplomat, who was in strategic affairs at the time.  French scholars played a big role in pushing the project.  "There was a blindness of the scientific community which refused to see the reality of the Chinese system.  Researchers believed that openness to capitalism would transform China into a normal country.  It was to forget that it remained above all a Leninist state in which science is not independent but directed by the Communist Party", explains Valérie Niquet, specialist in Asia at the Foundation for Strategic Research (FRS).  Since the start of the epidemic, the party and the state have been involved in research, manipulating dates and rewriting history of the coronavirus.  https://www.cdc.gov/   

    Early in 2016Shi sent Baric a fresh bat virus spike protein, and Baric inserted it into the backbone of a human SARS virus and then used that infectious clone to attack human airway cells….   

    Oct. 25, 2019 In a move that worries many public health experts, the federal government is quietly shutting down a surveillance program (Daszak’s PREDICT) for dangerous animal viruses….   

   DECEMBER 9, 2019 In a video interview Daszak mentioned the testing of modified coronaviruses on human cells and humanized mice in the WIV….

    8/21/2020 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02473-4      Daszak:  we have data that we’ve gathered over 15 years of working in China — 5 years under a previous grant from the NIH — which haven’t been published yet.  So we need to carry on with that work….

    5-12-20  Washington Post   NIH confirmed in a statement that EcoHealth’s grant was terminated and acknowledged that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was a “sub-awardee.”  [In other words Daszak "laundered" the grant for Fauci]….

    https://www.usaspending.gov/search/? hash=29bacd91b448e1783d9e225844f469c7  Daszak's Ecohealth Alliance diverted $600,000 in grants from U.S. National Institutes of Health to the WIV between 2014 and 2019 to outsource gain-of-function / gain-of-threat experiments with bat coronaviruses. …       

    November 18, 2019 The Wuhan Institute of Virology posts a job opening that seeks to fill “1-2 post-doctoral fellows” who will “take bats as the research object and provide answers regarding the molecular mechanism that can co-exist with Ebola and SARS-associated coronaviruses for a long time without causing disease, and its relationship with flight (aerosols) and longevity.  Virology, immunology cell biology and multiple -omics  are used to compare the differences between humans and other mammals.”  Candidates are to send their resumes to Peng Zhou Ph.D., “leader of the Bat Virus Infection and Immunization Group” at Wuhan Institute of Virology.         https://peterdaszak.com/
