Via Yuri Deigin – Well, this is interesting. So EcoHealth and WIV *were* proposing to create novel cleavage sites in SARS-like bat CoVs to possibly use them as self-disseminating animal vaccines.
Peter Daszak and the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) proposed injecting deadly chimeric bat coronaviruses collected by the Wuhan Institute of Virology into humanised and “batified” mice.
The EHA / WIV proposal (named ‘DEFUSE’) was ultimately rejected for full funding (but leaving open the door for partial funding), in part because it mis-interpreted the GOF guidelines.
In other words, a branch of the federal government had already judged aspects of EHA’s research, and the corresponding shared research plan with the WIV, as falling under the definition of GOF, only for HHS to approve similar work without P3CO review in 2018 and 2019.
The documents seen by DRASTIC were made available by an anonymous source. They detail past achievements and planned experiments in collaboration with researchers from Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), East China Normal University (ECNU), UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke-National University in Singapore, the USGS National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) and Palo Alto Research Center (PARC).

No one cares. Old news. Just an oopsie. Didn’t mean to.
Let’s move on ok? There’s a climate crisis to tackle.

In true practice of science, humility is a necessity because arrogance results in tragedy. But humility is in short supply. Queue the tragedies.

You got to remember that the political low life has nothing to go on.
They will grab any straw to do something. Not necessarily something good, just something.
And something they are doing, without questions, they can always say it’s them, the scientologists told us the truth and that’s that.
The dead are just collateral damage, nothing to be concerned about.
They will though cry out loud that they care.
I guess my definition of cleavage is a tad different. Good article just the same.
Is your’s a “Cleavage Sight” instead?
I’ll get my hat…
