Maybe it is time to rename the virus to the Fauci/Daszak virus.  Heck, credit where credit is due.

 

NEW DETAILS EMERGE ABOUT CORONAVIRUS RESEARCH AT CHINESE LAB

 

The bat coronavirus grant provided EcoHealth Alliance with a total of $3.1 million, including $599,000 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology used in part to identify and alter bat coronaviruses likely to infect humans. Even before the pandemic, many scientists were concerned about the potential dangers associated with such experiments. The grant proposal acknowledges some of those dangers: “Fieldwork involves the highest risk of exposure to SARS or other CoVs, while working in caves with high bat density overhead and the potential for fecal dust to be inhaled.”

 

Alina Chan, a molecular biologist at the Broad Institute, said the documents show that EcoHealth Alliance has reason to take the lab-leak theory seriously. “In this proposal, they actually point out that they know how risky this work is. They keep talking about people potentially getting bitten — and they kept records of everyone who got bitten,” Chan said. “Does EcoHealth have those records? And if not, how can they possibly rule out a research-related accident?”

 

According to Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University, the documents contain critical information about the research done in Wuhan, including about the creation of novel viruses. “The viruses they constructed were tested for their ability to infect mice that were engineered to display human type receptors on their cell,” Ebright wrote to The Intercept after reviewing the documents. Ebright also said the documents make it clear that two different types of novel coronaviruses were able to infect humanized mice. “While they were working on SARS-related coronavirus, they were carrying out a parallel project at the same time on MERS-related coronavirus,” Ebright said, referring to the virus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome.

Fauci lied to congress but will never be punished.  At best this 80 year old liar may retire and continue to rake in big money.

Why are the Left/Dems/Elite leaders so against therapeutics?

For the Branch Covidians, effective therapeutic drugs would mean less control over us.

As well as less money.  After all, the drugs that we already have in stock, and have worked, would not have created the more-than-10 billionaires that the experimental drugs have, eh?

I seem to recall a member here saying last year that the Wuhan thing, along with the Fraudci ties, was behind the human-engineered Chyna Virus, but said member was mocked by a few others.  But it's beginning to look a lot like something other than Christmas, and those who were laughing aren't making much noice nowadays.  (Though one has been lurking behind the scenes from time to time)

It would also mean no emergency use authorization for the vaccine.

Didn't Miami-Dade institute a mask mandate?  No vaccine mandate agreed to by the Union?

Glenn Greenwald, spot on as usual.

 

The ACLU, Prior to COVID, Denounced Mandates and Coercive Measures to Fight Pandemics

 

The op-ed sounds like it was written by an NSA official justifying the need for mass surveillance (yes, fine, your privacy is important but it is not absolute; your privacy rights are outweighed by public safety; we are spying on you for your own good). And the op-ed appropriately ends with this perfect Orwellian flourish: “We care deeply about civil liberties and civil rights for all — which is precisely why we support vaccine mandates.”

 

What makes the ACLU's position so remarkable — besides the inherent shock of a civil liberties organization championing state mandates overriding individual choice — is that, very recently, the same group warned of the grave dangers of the very mindset it is now pushing. In 2008, the ACLU published a comprehensive report on pandemics which had one primary purpose: to denounce as dangerous and unnecessary attempts by the state to mandate, coerce, and control in the name of protecting the public from pandemics.

Scientists working at the Oxford based Jenner institute in the UK are racing against the clock to try to create a coronavirus Vaccine before anyone else, obviously for the good of mankind and not the enormous profits such a vaccine could reap.

 

However, there is just one problem – the virus is dying out and scientists are concerned that any chance of doing a meaningful trial for a vaccine is dying out with it.
