Wuhan Virology Lab Continues Gain-of-Function Research on Coronaviruses

The Wuhan Institute of Virology)

America will no longer fund gain-of-research studies, thanks to an executive order implemented by Donald Trump that “will drastically reduce the potential for lab-related incidents involving gain-of-function research, like that conducted on bat coronaviruses in China by the EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan Institute of Virology.” As a reminder, the Wuhan lab where COVID-19 originated is still operating in China.

“For decades, policies overseeing gain-of-function research on pathogens, toxins, and potential pathogens have lacked adequate enforcement, transparency, and top-down oversight,” the White House said in a fact sheet describing the order. “Researchers have not acknowledged the legitimate potential for societal harms that this kind of research poses.”

The US federal government spent over $3.7 million through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on grants to EcoHealth Alliance. Around $600,000 was directly sent to Wuhan Institute of Virology to study coronaviruses on bats. The funds were distributed in 2014 under a five-year grant during the Obama Administration.

Domestic and global terrorist Dr. Anthony Fauci once claimed before Congress that the NIH “has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” There are emails from February 2020 in which Fauci clearly states he is aware of the gain-of-function research happening in Wuhan. “[S]cientists in the Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments … associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection,” his email stated, also adding, “there were mutations in the virus that would be most unusual to have evolved naturally in the bats and that there was a suspicion that this mutation was intentionally inserted.” The email was sent to Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, and Brian Harrison, the chief of staff of the Department of Health and Human Services. He urges the men to ask the World Health Organization to investigate the pandemic origins before the lab leak theory reaches the public.

Interestingly, Moderna and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) sent mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on December 12, 2019. They were secretly developing a vaccine BEFORE the coronavirus was released.

Fauci CXOVID not Natural

The Wuhan lab in China is STILL studying coronaviruses on bats. In 2025, Chinese researchers found a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which can infect human cells. Wuhan scientists have said they plan to continue studying this virus by breeding mice with human cells and tissues to study infection. China refuses to admit that COVID-19 originated in its lab, and thus, we should not expect any further safety measures in Wuhan, a densely populated city with over 8 million residents.

The Wuhan lab is part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which is state-sponsored and controlled by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. The European Union sent the lab €161,811 in 2015 and 2019 for projects related to the European Virus Archive under Horizon 2020 research programs. In fact, the Netherlands has studied gain-of-function research n the H5N1 avian influenza virus. Led by Ron Fouchier, scientists genetically modified the avian flu so that it could spread between mammals through respiratory droplets. Again, they claimed that the goal was to see what could happen if the bird flu became transmissible to humans, but that was not happening in the wild. Fouchier found himself in a legal battle with the Dutch government where it was ruled a permit was mandatory for such experiments. Japan has also conducted gain-of-function research on the avian flu, modifying the virus to study how it could infect humans.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus, and University of Wisconsin-Madison were all studying gain-of-function research in the United States. Now, the US government will no longer fund these studies, however, they may continue without federal funding. The executive order also entails that advanced transparency is required for these studies, but the truth of the matter is that no one knows the true implications.

From the start, I warned that COVID was not a biological weapon or its kill-ratio would have been much higher. I believe it was orchestrated and someone was simply paid to release it from Wuhan and that did NOT come from the Chinese government but from this same group pushing the Great Reset. I also KNOW for a fact that the Build-Back-Better slogan was being thrown around at Davos at the beginning of 2019 about one year before COVID was released.

Event 201. The world has widely ignored the October 18, 2019 simulation, co-sponsored by Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, and John Hopkins. The 3.5 hour simulation depicted a coronavirus outbreak that passed from bats to pigs to people. In the simulation, the virus spread rapidly throughout the globe, overwhelming health systems and killing economies.

The Event 201 scenario Event 201 simulates an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms. The disease starts in pig farms in Brazil, quietly and slowly at first, but then it starts to spread more rapidly in healthcare settings. When it starts to spread efficiently from person to person in the low-income, densely packed neighborhoods of some of the megacities in South America, the epidemic explodes. It is first exported by air travel to Portugal, the United States, and China and then to many other countries. Although at first some countries are able to control it, it continues to spread and be reintroduced, and eventually no country can maintain control. There is no possibility of a vaccine being available in the first year. There is a fictional antiviral drug that can help the sick but not significantly limit spread of the disease. Since the whole human population is susceptible, during the initial months of the pandemic, the cumulative number of cases increases exponentially, doubling every week. And as the cases and deaths accumulate, the economic and societal consequences become increasingly severe. The scenario ends at the 18-month point, with 65 million deaths. The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed. From that point on, it is likely to be an endemic childhood disease.” Bill Gates, John Hopkins, and the WEF recommended the following after the simulation:

Governments, international organizations, and businesses should plan now for how essential corporate capabilities will be utilized during a large-scale pandemic. Industry, national governments, and international organizations should work together to enhance internationally held stockpiles of medical countermeasures (MCMs) to enable rapid and equitable distribution during a severe pandemic. Countries, international organizations, and global transportation companies should work together to maintain travel and trade during severe pandemics. Travel and trade are essential to the global economy as well as to national and even local economies, and they should be maintained even in the face of a pandemic. Governments should provide more resources and support for the development and surge manufacturing of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics that will be needed during a severe pandemic. Global business should recognize the economic burden of pandemics and fight for stronger preparedness. International organizations should prioritize reducing economic impacts of epidemics and pandemics. Governments and the private sector should assign a greater priority to developing methods to combat mis- and disinformation prior to the next pandemic response.

These global agencies told us what they planned to do a year before the pandemic, down to silencing dissent and misinformation. Gates spent $1.75 billion on vaccine research and trials before the virus emerged. Nations adhering to the Great Reset attempted to maintain COVID mandates for as long as possible. The United States government now recognizes that COVID did, in fact, develop in the Wuhan lab and was leaked to the public. How that leak occurred remains a mystery.

It still gets me, how that virology lab is in Wuhan, and the virus originated in Wuhan, but we were not allowed to speculate that the lab was the source of the virus. We were told that was disinformation and misinformation. We were told we believed in conspiracy theories if we believed somehow that lab was the source of the outbreak.

Meanwhile my over-jabbed mom has “ suddenly” developed stomach cancer despite never indulging in any of the habits usually associated with it and having no genetic propensity for it.

Like the sudden onset memory issues were not enough

I. Begged. Her. Not. To.

Ah man...dang it...

I tried the same with others around me. To no avail.

One of the less publicized aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic was that NGOs, including ones controlled by both George Soros and Bill Gates, were actively involved with the Wuhan Institute so it is entirely plausible that non Chinese NGO affiliates were involved in the leaks of the virus.

Especially in light of how the virus release played out with respect to the various inexplicable Western policy responses and power grabs that continue to this day.

While it is not clear if the corona virus came out of civilian gain of function or military bio weapons program ( not that there is much difference - the original Eco Health Alliance DEFUSE covid virus development proposal copied by the Wuhan lab was to DARPA) it is also worthy of note that the Covid -19 virus was active in China for quite some time before it hit the West and thus had time to moderate before it became active in the US.

Early reports of the Covid-19 virus in China were that it was initially very contagious and very deadly - much more so than what we saw here in the USA. This could be because of moderation or because the virus was engineered to target specific ethnic groups.

Early forensics on the virus at the time strongly suggested that the virus was more specifically infectious to various ethnic and demographic population groups world wide and we saw this play out in action.

Another factor that impacted the pandemic was the fact that were two Covid -19 strains, the L and the S strains, active simultaneously.

The S strain was far less severe than the L strain and showed many of the features of an attenuated live virus released to provide natural immunity against the far more severe L strain of the virus.

This rapid availability of a live attenuated virus could suggest that Covid -19 virus came out of bio weapons program and that the Chinese used the more highly infectious but far less severe S strain as an attenuated live virus to inoculate the Chinese population against the far more severe L strain.

In many ways, a third party intentional release theory of the Covid -19 pandemic origin is a very legit possibility that is highly reinforced by observations on who benefited and who lost during the pandemic. It's beyond dispute that Globalists political interests affiliated with Soros and Gates became major players in the Covid -19 pandemic
