WOW. Open the pdf and look at the dates going back many years earlier.
Thank you for linking the actual document, which talks about MERS. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome was first identified in June 2012. It’s a coronavirus, like SARS2003 and SARS-CoV-2. The vaccinate candidates were for HIV, Ebola, Influenza, and MERS. It says so right in the document.
Much ado about nothing. As usual.
I read the entire document.
It documents ongoing mRNA vaccine work on coronaviruses going back to 2015.
It presumably was started because of NIAID’s interest in SARS, its sponsorship of gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses, and Moderna’s pre-existing expertise in preparation of mRNA delivery vehicles.
It is a coincidence - but not more than that - that the NIAID and the Wuhan Institute of Virology were about to cause the massive planetary disruption of SARS CoV 2.
There are no specific references to SARS CoV 2 and nothing to indicate that they were aware of its existence.
Confirms the falsity of the article. Just confirms research on vaccines including utilizing mRNA has been going on for many years as has been public record - researching a variety of virus types including (but limited to) coronaviruses in those documents. Not a word about the new coronavirus "COVID" as the article falsely states - banking on the fact the readers will recall it was generically referred to as "The Coronavirus" before getting its official designation so they will read "coronavirus" in the document and then believe the article has validity, then adding "prior to the pandemic" - well, yes, decades of research would have indeed occurred prior to the pandemic of 2020, and these specific docs go back to 2016 for this series of research agreements...and the 2019 agreement wasn't even for a research related to human subjects, putting the final nail in the coffin for the credibility of this article.
Yet look at all of the usual suspects all giddy over - yet another - fake news story and another ornament on their false narrative tree that is demonstrably easy to verify as false even with a cursory review of the source documents. So embarrassing. But they are dedicated to the narrative, not the truth. Facts and reality do not phase them.
