Revealed: Wuhan and US scientists planned to create new coronaviruses
Daily Telegraph ^ | Oct 5 | By Sarah Knapton, SCIENCE EDITOR

Posted on 10/05/2021 7:46:58 PM PDT by RandFan

Before Covid pandemic erupted, group submitted proposals to mix genetic data of related strains and grow completely new sequences

Scientists from Wuhan and the US were planning to create new coronaviruses that did not exist in nature by combining the genetic codes of other viruses, proposals show.

Documents of a grant application submitted to the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), leaked last month, reveal that the international team of scientists planned to mix genetic data of closely related strains and grow completely new viruses.

A genetics expert working with the World Health Organisation (WHO), who uncovered the plan after studying the proposals in detail, said that if Sars-CoV-2 had been produced in this way, it would explain why a close match has never been found in nature.

So far the closest naturally occurring virus to Sars-CoV-2 is a strain called Banal-52, which was reported from Laos last month and shares 96.8 per cent of the genome. Yet scientists expect a direct ancestor to be around a 99.98 per cent match – and none has been found so far.

The Darpa proposals, leaked to the pandemic origins analysis group Drastic, show the team had planned to take sequences from naturally occurring coronaviruses and use them to create a brand new sequence that was an average of all the strains.

The grant application, submitted in 2018, states: "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 Telegraph is paywalled but i'm sure other media will cover and publish the story.

If anyone has links please post

Well, they sure done a nice job, on top of it got paid for doing it.

Daszak again....

Wuhan scientists and US researchers planned to create a new coronavirus in 2018: Consortium led by Brit Peter Daszak asked DARPA to fund research

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.

‘They would then synthesise the viral genome from the computer sequence, thus creating a virus genome that did not exist in nature but looks natural as it is the average of natural viruses.

‘Then they put that RNA in a cell and recover the virus from it.

‘This creates a virus that has never existed in nature, with a new ‘backbone’ that didn’t exist in nature but is very, very similar as it’s the average of natural backbones,’ the expert said.

The proposal was rejected and 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.

The institute’s scientists have consistently denied creating the coronavirus in their lab.

The grant application proposal was submitted by British zoologist Peter Daszak on behalf of a group, which included Daszak EcoHealth Alliance, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the University of North Carolina and Duke NUS in Singapore, The Telegraph reported.

Since the start the odd way this virus worked has never made sense. The way it interacts with the human body suggest elements of Tuberculous, Ebola and Flu were combined artificially.

Reading this it all starting to become horribly clear.

The troubling question was it an accident or deliberate?

One would like to believe accidental but Eugenics has been a popular theory with intellectuals since 1883. This disease is almost tailor made to kill off the elderly and the unhealthy Exactly the same people a Eugenicist would target with a tailor made virus.

Two questions.

1. Isn’t the Darpa project from the show “Lost?”

2. “A genetics expert working with the World Health Organisation (WHO), who uncovered the plan after studying the proposals in detail, said that if Sars-CoV-2 had been produced in this way, it would explain why a close match has never been found in nature.”

Fauci has blood on his hands.

Keep playing around with this virus sh*t and the USA and China will kill the planet off.

With the caveat that I am certainly not a geneticist, this sounds shockingly unsophisticated and haphazard. Reminds me, as a kid, of mixing together all of the chemicals in the chemistry set just to see what would happen.

“…an average of all the strains”? Does genetic engineering even work that way? Just mix up some unrelated genes and see what the “average” result is? That just doesn’t sound likely to work.

WHY IN GOD’S NAME would they do such a thing??

“WHY IN GOD’S NAME would they do such a thing??”

So they could kill large numbers of people.

Next question.

The Corona virus is malleable enough tailor it to whatever population they want to aim it at, all hands off.
