Recent revelations have intensified the scrutiny around the origins of COVID-19, with new evidence suggesting that the virus may have originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. This evidence includes a full research proposal released through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which details US and Chinese scientists' plans to study and potentially engineer coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The DEFUSE grant proposal, led by EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak, outlined intentions to work with the Wuhan lab to manipulate novel coronaviruses a year before the pandemic began. This has led to calls for accountability from US representatives, who argue that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) knew about the lab leak, attempted to suppress the story, and falsely blamed American soldiers for spreading the virus. The uncovered documents describe experiments that could have generated the virus' unique properties and highlight the involvement of US scientists, including Ralph Baric who had previously generated SARS-like chimeras. The discovery has prompted criticism of certain scientists who had dismissed the lab-origin theory and ridiculed the idea based on the virus's DNA fingerprints.
Certain scientists ridiculed the idea that COVID could have come from a lab, saying it's impossible based on DNA fingerprints. Now, those scientists' secret research plans have been uncovered, showing a strategy that could have resulted in a virus exactly like COVID in Wuhan. https://t.co/Iy9euE4LmV
SHOCK: New documents describe experiments that could have generated the virus’ rare properties. They detail the scientists’ interest in working with viruses precisely like SARS-CoV-2 one year before Covid-19 escaped from the Wuhan lab. https://t.co/WVyzREAkcN
I am perplexed that US scientists still have not disclosed work on SARS-like viruses conducted in collab with Wuhan scientists. “RB [Ralph Baric] has already generated SARS-like chimeras.. from group of bat viruses called 293 (for S1) which is 20% different than epidemic strains” https://t.co/CM6Q5g0T40
🚨 New details have been uncovered in the DEFUSE grant proposal led by EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak‼️ US scientists planned to work with 🇨🇳 Wuhan Institute of Virology to engineer novel coronaviruses with the features of SARS-CoV-2 the year before the virus emerged… https://t.co/4Poxp0Nvna
Important thread (by a former skeptic of the lab-origin theory) on the question of the origins of COVID. New information comes from a recently released (via FOIA) full research proposal by US and Chinese scientists for studying and cultivating viruses similar to COVID. https://t.co/FwRPML5m2h
🚨🚨 For a long time, it has been assumed that we would never know for certain how covid originated, even as a lab leak seemed highly likely given all the evidence. That was wrong. This stunning piece of new evidence shows the precise lab work that produced the pandemic. https://t.co/LtZSM0kUwL
It’s clear as day that the coronavirus came from the WUHAN lab. Accountability is needed to ensure this NEVER happens again. https://t.co/oG2MWY73Iq
The CCP knew about the lab leak, tried to bury the story, and blamed American soldiers for spreading the virus. Beijing’s lies cost us over a million lives. https://t.co/LnCUlIwJSj
