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

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.

from the article:
“This morning Jim Jordan was on Sunday Morning Futures, and these were the highlights”
[followed by graphic indicating virologist Robert Garry stated on Feb. 1, 2020 that the virus couldn’t be of natural origin, then on March 17, 2020 adding his name to a statement that the COVID-19 virus was ‘not of lab origin’].
It would be nice to know if Jordan and/or Rand Paul will get this Garry person to testify under oath about what changed his mind, particularly now that the natural origin theory is nearly indefensible.
I agree, he should pound home that he was the sole voice calling for therapeutics early on and was slammed by the dems and the media.
His instincts have been proven completely true with the release of the DAPA docs. His team need to pound this fact home.

Agree!
The US protecting itself is the only reason China isn’t a parking lot.
Fauci reminds me of a weasel. He is responsible for using taxpayer money to fund gain of function research at the Wuhan Lab which is responsible for more than five million deaths worldwide. He is a sneak and a liar to deny it now. All the evidence is in that he lied to Congress. He is making money hand over fist with this pandemic. That is why he keeps trying to extend it with his rhetoric of fear.
“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.”
Anthony Fauci has never worked for, nor has he ever supervised, the CDC or the US Public Health Service.
Fauci is not the puzzle.
The US government is for allowing him to keep his job.
You’re right its NIAID which I mistakenly assumed was part of CDC. NIAID reports to NIH. CDC, NIAID & NIH are all part of HHS. I assumed NIAID & NIH were subordinate to CDC. It looks like they’re co-equal and report equally to HHS.
I should have looked it up first!
My points are still valid. Just substitute NIH (or HHS) where I typed CDC. NIH & HHS are the parent agencies and are responsible for bad management practices by its subordinate offices though I doubt if they know good management practices.
The cost of a thousand beasts.
I first had to contact CDC in a professional capacity in July 1974. What an amazing experience that was for someone who was basically a kid.
Beginning in 1976, the long downhill slide to politics and unprofessionalism began when David Sencer was fired after he was maneuvered into getting President Ford to get a dose of swine flu vaccine on national TV.
The original name was CENTER for Disease Control. In the 80s, this morphed into CENTERS for disease control, and the mission was expanded (and continues to expand) to include smoking, obesity, “gun violence” and now “equity” of various types.
As a bastion of almost forgotten knowledge about infectious diseases, the old CDC was without peer.
It has been ruined by politicians (who else?), and what we see when we look now is very sad.
I felt that way about NASA. Had a similar experience visiting them back in the early 1970s.
