It has finally all come together.
Two years ago, I had the feeling that COVID was a lab leak. Egged on by Anthony Fauci, the media went into a full court press on anyone who dared suggest it. Somehow Fauci "knew" that Donald Trump would have a surprise infectious outbreak on his hands. Fauci argued vociferously that COVID did not come from a lab.
Something was wrong.
In January of 2020 Fauci also told us
““…..This is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.””Here is Fauci telling everyone that he would fund Gain of Function research
Highlights from Fauci's 2013 Workshop on Gain of Function research. The entire lecture is on YouTube. Yes they funded it. Yes they knew the risks. They just assumed that scientists across the globe are infallible. pic.twitter.com/Rco5x1ICBd

Let me remind you what Gain of Function is
Gain of Function ResearchFauci has repeatedly testified under oath that the NIAID did not fund Gain of Function research.Certain gain-of-function studies with the potential to enhance the pathogenicity or transmissibility of potential pandemic pathogens (PPPs) have raised biosafety and biosecurity concerns, including the potential dual use risks associated with the misuse of the information or products resulting from such research.
On October 16, 2014, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced the launch of the U.S. Government (USG) gain-of-function (GOF) deliberative process to re-evaluate the potential risks and benefits associated with certain GOF experiments. During this process the USG paused the release of federal funding for GOF studies anticipated to enhance the pathogenicity or transmissibility among mammals by respiratory droplets of influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses.
U.S. and Chinese researchers funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) created viruses in a Wuhan lab that exhibited over 10,000 times higher viral load in humanized mice than the natural virus they were based on, according to an infectious disease professor citing documents recently released by the agency.A group led by Peter Daszak approached DARPA (Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency) with a proposal to create a new Corona virus.The US nonprofit group EcoHealth Alliance notified the NIAID in two reports that between June 2017 and May 2018 it had created three lab-generated chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses in China that exhibited “significantly higher” viral loads, documents first reported by The Intercept show, but the agency continued to fund the project with taxpayer dollars without flagging it for review by an independent federal committee created in late 2017 to oversee gain-of-function research.
This is the blueprint for the COVID 19 virus.US and Chinese scientists were planning to create a new coronavirus before the pandemic erupted, leaked proposals show. Last month, a grant application submitted to the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) revealed that an international team of scientists had planned to mix genetic data of similar strains to create a new virus.
The grant application was made in 2018 and leaked to Drastic, the pandemic origins analysis group.
'We will compile sequence/RNAseq data from a panel of closely related strains and compare full length genomes, scanning for unique SNPs representing sequencing errors. 'Consensus candidate genomes will be synthesised commercially using established techniques and genome-length RNA and electroporation to recover recombinant viruses,' the application states.
This would result in a virus which had no clear ancestor in nature, a World Health Organization (WHO) expert told The Telegraph.
New documents detail how Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance and China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology were planning to use gain-of-function experiments to artificially insert “human-specific cleavage sites” into coronaviruses in order to increase their ability to infect human cells.Citing the potential for great danger and violating the moratorium on Gain of Function research, DARPA refused. But thenThe newly released documents, which are part of a funding proposal submitted to the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program in 2018, detail a blueprint for the creation of a COVID-19-like virus. The ostensible goal of the research was to get ahead of nature by predicting whether viruses might evolve over time to acquire those enhanced traits.
When COVID-19 first emerged, some scientists were puzzled that the virus had a human-specific adaptation at the cleavage site. A study in the science journal Nature noted that the COVID-19 virus “exhibited the highest binding to human (h)ACE2 of all the species tested.”
It was that human-specific binding feature of COVID-19, absent in coronaviruses of the same phylogenetic tree, that has distinguished it from past outbreaks. The virus’s unique ability to bind to human cells makes it highly transmissible and has enabled its rapid spread throughout the world
COVID-19’s unexplained binding feature has resulted in a pandemic that has cost millions of lives and upended world economies. By contrast, both severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) were responsible for less than 1,000 deaths each worldwide.
They have all denied lab leak of the novel virus which does not appear in nature, but thenLast month, it emerged that the US had funded similar research to that outlined in the 2018 grant proposal.
Files obtained by The Intercept as part of an FOI request to drill down the possible root of COVID and whether the US had any role in it showed that in 2014, the National Health Institute (NIH) approved a five-year, yearly grant of $666,000 a year for five years ($3.3million) for EcoHealth Alliance, a US research organization, into bat coronavirus.
To be clear, the 2018 initial proposal was turned down, but the research went on under the radar, funded by NIAID. The databased was scrubbed....the database of viral strains at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was taken offline some 18 months later, making it impossible to check what scientists there were working on.
They clearly didn't want anyone to know what they were doing.
This morning Jim Jordan was on Sunday Morning Futures, and these were the highlights
On January 31, 2020, Fauci was told that COVID 19 was most likely a lab leak and that there was no plausible natural scenario for it coming from nature.
Then it appears that Fauci bought off Garry.

I don’t work in Fed.gov
Is it normal to have apparatchiks remain in the same department/agency head job for 40 years?
Is it normal for government bureaucrats to work until they are 80+ years old?
Is it normal for 80 year old government employees to stay on the job at a $400K salary when their pension would be $350K?

And in order to push EUA vaccines, they could not acknowledge a viable therapy. No EUA drugs are allowed when a viable therapy exists.
$666,000 a year? Interesting choice of numbers.
Very good post. We know why.
fauci said the benefits are worth the risks
and the benefits are?
“$666,000 a year”?
Where did you see that?
It's right there in there about 3/4 of the way down.
Thanks for answering my question. I missed it.
We all, not just Americans, but humans everywhere are so gullible to someone like him and how easily, with the blind trust we grant them, the media can make us believe anything they tell us.
Thanks to these last few years of classes here in Schoolhouse Earth, I now better understand the madness of the crowd and how basically “good”, generally God-fearing people anywhere on Earth, say it together now: “even us”, can become a Nazi Germany or a Soviet Union or similar seemingly overnight.
Not a lab leak. Rather, a bio weapon blunted by preemptive deployment in a limited manner. Otherwise the virus could have been deployed nationwide simultaneously in all major cities by the adversary at the time they choose, overwhelming all our systems and possibly leading to grid collapse.
Once it’s known that the adversary has the weapon on hand and will soon be ready to deploy, in the real non-James Bond world there is no viable defense immediately available other than obtaining or replicating the weapon and releasing it preemptively as a controlled burn.
The adversary has done everything possible to exacerbate the impacts of the early deployment, but we dodged the big bullet.
FedGov has ‘special exceptions ‘ for what are considered critical skills. Medicine is one of those skills. Another thing there is no requirement to retire when you reach a certain age. I know of one case where a woman kept working while in her 90s. When asked why she said my husband’s dead we had no children, so it something to do. Fauci has taken full advantage of those “exceptions”. After his spectacular ‘public’ failure in AIDS crisis - exaggerating its risk to the general population, vaccine failure,etc. Responsible CDC management should relegated him to chief paperclip counter in a CDC warehouse. But there was never responsible CDC management, a common problem in career civil service and CDC was kind of a ‘backwater’. Only recently has in gained importance and scrutiny in the public eye and lo an behold a serial fabricator like Fauci has wiggled to the top. It’s unfortunate due to the political environment that Trump couldn’t dismiss him or at least controlled his public pronouncements. Trump’s decisions then I understand, he really had no other choice. The risks inherent in Warp Speed were never properly communicated. (The development of anything takes time. You shorten the time even for the best of reasons you increase risk.) For that reason Trump should not allow his ego to force himself to wrap his arms around the vaccine development. He made the decision based on he was told and information he had at the time. (In hindsight much of it now we know to be faulty!) He should find a way to say that.
Bttt.

No, no, and no. I spent 10 years in DoD. All my sups were gone by age 60.
I'm a nobody, and I've been in corporate management positions where people "below me" lied, gave misrepresentations, ignored or "slow-rolled" instructions because they weren't direct-reports, had different agendas or alliances, etc...
It sucks. Its easy to become bogged down in a bureaucratic "swamp." You are not sure who can be trusted, etc... You may seek to fire someone, but then you might become embroiled in a battle you never wanted.
I can't imagine being President and having much of the bureaucrats below you actively seeking to undermine you.
I’ve known a few govt employees who wouldn’t quit. There is no forced retirement. But those that didn’t quit stayed on the job because they hated their wives or didn’t have any life outside of govt. I’m sure that doesn’t apply to Fauxi. He does it because he can cause as much death as possible to humans in order to “save the world”. He is Gates’ buttboy and a monster in his own right.
