That isn’t even a spike protein. Who told you that?

[Steve Van Doorn]

I take that back.. I missed this part "particles incorporating ASLV-A envelope"
This is interesting. Did they use this virus?

[Steve Van Doorn]

WOW. There is very little difference between covid and that monstrosity. was the use of luciferase (illuminates the proteins for testing) and Stat1 (Gain of function gene.)

These ties were not “distant”. The cut/paste from the PNAS paper shows how they made it.

The grants U54 AI057168 and NIH Grants R01 AI43455, R21 AI059172, and R21 AI 058701, likely were all through the NIAID (note begin with AI) as part of their extramural program. Am looking for study details.
