USAID ANNOUNCES NEW $125 MILLION PROJECT TO DETECT UNKNOWN VIRUSES WITH PANDEMIC POTENTIAL
USAID ^ | 10/5/2021

For Immediate Release

Today, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is launching an ambitious new project that will work with partner countries and the global community to build better preparedness for future global health threats. Discovery & Exploration of Emerging Pathogens - Viral Zoonoses (DEEP VZN), a five-year, approximately $125 million project (pending availability of funds), will strengthen global capacity to detect and understand the risks of viral spillover from wildlife to humans that could cause another pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how infectious diseases threaten all of society, up-ending people’s lives and attacking societies at their cores. It is also a strong reminder of the connection between animals, humans, and the environment, and the effect that an emerging pathogen spilling over into humans can have on people’s health and on global economies. The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to advancing global health security, international pandemic preparedness, and global health resilience. Outbreaks do not respect geographic boundaries and can spread rapidly, jeopardizing the health, safety, and economic security of every country — including the United States. DEEP VZN will advance the U.S. Government’s global health security and foreign policy priorities by supporting efforts to prevent, detect, and respond to new infectious disease threats abroad.

The Washington State University Paul Allen School for Global Health will implement DEEP VZN with a consortium of partners that includes the University of Washington, FHI 360, PATH, and Washington University in St. Louis.

Since 2009, USAID’s Global Health Security Program has supported work to safely discover and understand new viruses from animals at high risk locations. The vast majority, more than 70 percent, of outbreaks in people originate from animals. At a time when people are coming into more frequent contact with wildlife, DEEP VZN will build and expand on previous work by significantly scaling up USAID's efforts to understand where, when, and how viruses spillover from animals to humans. USAID will share information it gathers with host-country and global partners to develop and implement interventions in communities to reduce the risks of virus spillover and therefore, potential outbreaks. Data and information gathered by DEEP VZN will also play a critical role in developing diagnostics, medicines, and vaccines for new viruses. Developing these tools now is essential for being better prepared for the future when new viruses spillover and stopping them from causing outbreaks that could become pandemics.

DEEP VZN is a critical next step in the evolution of USAID's work to understand and address the risks posed by zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. DEEP VZN will work in targeted countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America that have both a high risk for viral spillover and the capacity to safely conduct viral discovery. Identifying and understanding unknown viral threats will help these countries—and the world—be better prepared to detect, prevent and respond to future biological threats.

Save the money and just review what Fauci and company have funded.

Looks like they are in the planning stages of what to release on us next.

STORY AT A GLANCE:

* The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) announced a $125 million grant to Washington State University to detect “emerging viruses.” Viruses that have not yet “emerged” are those that are manipulated in the lab, aka gain-of-function research

* There are 12 partner countries focusing on unknown pathogens from three families, which include coronaviruses (COVID-19), filoviruses (Ebola) and paramyxoviruses (measles and Nipah)

* Documents released following a Freedom of Information Act request showed gain-of-function research was performed on two types of coronaviruses to boost pathogenicity and statements from the NIH and NIAID directors before Congress were lies

* The August 1, 2021, addendum to the House Foreign Affairs Committee report showed SARS-CoV-2 was released in Wuhan in September and spread through the world using athletes from the 2019 Military Games held in Wuhan in October 2019

* Some GOP members are calling for the head of the NIAID to resign or to be fired; Sen. Rand Paul has referred the director’s actions to the Department of Justice for an investigation on possible perjury charges.

In early 2020, as scientists were analyzing the SARS-CoV-2 virus, it was theorized the virulence and infectivity could be explained by gain-of-function research. Months of lab analyses and political arguments ensued over whether the virus was leaked from the lab or developed naturally in the wild.

Despite public outcry and denials from top health experts that the virus was created, the preponderance of the evidence indicates the virus was manipulated in the lab.1 Then, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), publicly announced October 5, 2021, they would grant Washington State University $125 million “to detect emerging viruses.” See HERE:

https://news.wsu.edu/press-release/2021/10/05/wsu-to-lead-125-million-usaid-project-to-detect-emerging-viruses/

This is far greater than the $7.4 million Newsweek reported was granted to the NIAID for gain-of-function work on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, China. Dr. Kanta Subbarao is from the Laboratory of Infectious Disease at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). SEE HERE:

So, 125 million bucks flushed for more gain of function research.

Fools will never change.

They need an eighth of a billion dollars to get better lethality. Spread was ok on the last one, but not lethal enough.

That was my first thought too. Which killer bug can we unleash to get the most punch for the buck?

We need to fire up the guillotine for these monsters.

As I Posted on an earlier post:
" In the haste for a "warp speed vaccine", under emergency authorization(UEA), we instead have a "leaky" injection which seems to perpetuate "leaky" mutations,
and we don't yet know the long term ramifications or response to the human natural immunity system.
If the *vaxxine* does affect the human natural long term immune system while under a nationwide mandate, does that mean that we may have been mandated by government
into a self-perpetuating series of Big Pharma subscriptions of "booster shots" for further "leaky" injections ? "

" We should have learned a lesson from the "leaky vaccine" of Marek’s disease(virus) in poultry,
or like the Marek's disease leaky vaccine, it will spread and perpetuate the variants indefinitely and perpetually.
The only ones who benefit from this are the Big Pharma manufacturers and the government agencies who have seen a significant rise in control/power from pseudo-control of viruses. "

Enough said :"..the government agencies who have seen a significant rise in control/power from pseudo-control of viruses and the variant mutations, 'Ad Nauseaum'. "

Any veterinarian could identify the next possible virus that could cause a pandemic. The human medical community ignored veterinarian's experience with the Coronaviridae and see where that led us.

This is just another money grab like everything else connected to this plandemic.
