Scientists are the creators of Covid-19. Investigation It's only a matter of time before one of these pathogens escapes somewhere, said Alina Chan, a molecular biologist at the Broad Institute at MIT (https://bit.ly/30Xzb8S). Doing such research in densely populated areas, as some researchers do, is like throwing a match into a forest in the middle of a drought. Yoshihiro Kawaoka (https://bit.ly/3HYNTNN) was one of the first scientists to prove in practice that the genetic makeup of bird flu can be altered and spread among mammals. A decade ago, he and a team of researchers mutated the H5N1 virus to make it more similar to H1N1, better known as swine flu. Which quickly spread among people in China during the 2009 pandemic. Until 2013, experiments of this type, in which a pathogen is purposefully mutated to increase infectivity, were rarely officially conducted. But it's hard to believe, as Yoshihiro Kawaoka, head of the Wisconsin lab, publicly stated in 2011 that he could do the complex and delicate job of "making viruses more functional." The goal was to prepare for potential pandemics caused by influenza viruses, Kawaoka said. The work that Kawaoka and his team did was largely funded by the US government. Since 2006, avian influenza experiments have received funding of about $ 500,000 per year, and since 2009, an additional $ 600,000 has been allocated per year. Both of these grants were awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, headed by Anthony Fauci. In 2011, scientists who understood the threat from Kawaoka's research called him a crazy idiot and called on the National Science Advisory Board on Biosafety to ban the publication of his work on increasing the functionality of viruses until he edited parts of his method, in case someone of the terrorists will try to copy his methodology. In the same 2011, the scientific world was shocked by another similar work carried out in the Netherlands by Ron Fouchier, a scientist from the Erasmus Institute in Rotterdam (https://bit.ly/3oX0atw). Fouchier has also been involved in breeding large numbers of transmissible influenza strains using ferrets. In laboratory ferrets, which are the common animal model for human transmission of influenza, influenza is not transmitted from animal to animal by airborne droplets by default. So the insane Fouchier put the mutated H5N1 in the nose of one ferret, then when he got sick, the scientists took a sample of the nasal fluid and put it in the nose of another. After the tenth infection, the virus began to spread from ferret to ferret through the air as easily as the seasonal flu virus. Eventually, in 2012, both scientists published their edited papers, and government funding continued. In 2013, the Kawaoka team was awarded another grant to manipulate the genes of influenza and Ebola viruses. The US NIAID funded this work in the amount of $ 300,000 to $ 600,000 per year until 2017. The basemant on which the tool to increase the functionality of viruses was built was created in 2005. Scientists from Ralph Stephen Barick's team (https://bit.ly/313qc5T) have genetically engineered mice so that their immune systems become very similar to those of humans. The mice were used to test genetically modified coronaviruses, trying to figure out which genes help the virus replicate. From 2013 to 2017, NIAID allocated an additional $ 2.3 million on this topic (https://unc.live/3DYw5jv). More precisely researched data on US government funding analyzed by reporters shows that the teams led by Professor Kawaoka received a total of more than $ 63 million in government grants. For a project to humanize mice and what genes help the virus reproduce, this figure exceeds $ 105 million (https://bit.ly/30VQjfL). In 2014, Barik, who was involved in humanizing mice and multiplying coronaviruses, met with Shi Zhengli, a scientist who tracked down strains of coronavirus in caves with bats. This work earned her the nickname The Batwoman (https://bit.ly/30Z0T55). Barik provided Shi with his mice for experiments in Wuhan (https://go.nature.com/3CX1qlc), and already in 2015, the pair published a document describing how they combined the SARS virus with another coronavirus. The authors added a caveat to their article just in case: Scientific review groups may find such studies of chimeric viruses from circulating strains too risky to conduct. A year later, his team published a document warning that one of the virus strains they were working on was ready to appear in humans (https://on.ft.com/31416En). A year before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2018, the states signatories to the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention indicated that gene editing, gene synthesis, gene mechanisms, and metabolic pathway development as studies that qualify as dual-use, which means they are just as easy use for terrorist purposes. Of course, many more people participated in the conspiracy. Unfortunately, it is not possible to reveal all the facts.
