    Virologist Who Told Fauci SARS-CoV-2 ‘Potentially Engineered’ Just Deleted 5,000 Tweets

    A California virologist who told Anthony Fauci that COVID-19 looks ‘potentially engineered’ and ‘inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory’ – only to later reverse course and publish a ‘natural origin’ paper 8 weeks later (before receiving a multi million-dollar NIH grant) has deleted more than 5,000 tweets.

    Kristian G. Anderson who runs the Andersen Lab in La Jolla, CA, wrote in a Feb. 1 email to Fauci “The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome, less than 0.1 percent, so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered,” adding that he and his team found “the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory.”

    Anderson was responding to an article sent to him by Fauci exploring the origins of the virus. The next day, Fauci sent an urgent email to his deputy, Hugh Auchincloss, with the subject “IMPORTANT,” writing “Hugh, it is essential that we speak this a.m. Keep your cell phone on. … Read this paper as well as the email that I will forward. You will have tasks today that must be done.”

    The document attached was titled “Baric, Shi, et al – Nature medicine – SARS gain of function.pdf.”

    So right after one of Fauci’s trusted scientific advisers suggests COVID-19 could be man-made (while Fauci and associates publicly dismissed the possibility as a conspiracy theory), he shot a research paper concerning gain of function research – which Fauci was funding at the Wuhan Institute of Virology – to his deputy.

    And now Anderson has deleted more than half of his tweets.

    Anderson claims that his old tweets are ‘auto deleted’ – which would suggest a rolling, automated process – not the sudden disappearance of over 5,000 tweets preceding March 7, 2021.

    The deleted tweets come as internet sleuths begin to unravel Anderson’s involvement with Fauci and the NIH.

    Meanwhile, Fauci has denied funding gain of function research in Wuhan, yet…

    AZ still has over 21k “Federal Only voters” who cannot prove they are a citizen or that they even exist. They are not in the MVD system and all they need is a bank statement (easily doctored) to get a ballot. This will need to be addressed at the Federal level, and I have been working to make this more known for some time. This is the next thing that needs an audit, and voter intimidation is a flimsy excuse not to do it.

    Good find on these articles, Adam. I like Dr. Saphire, she is a very good communicator and doesn’t waste time in her interviews. The funny thing about these Fauchi emails is not the evidence for everything we have believed for the past year, but the lack of anything new that we didn’t already know.

    For instance, the furin cleavage site that Dr. Saphire is suppose to be referencing in her interview was known of as early as Feb. 2020 or sooner – that was when I first heard of it. They brought in a research expert to suggest that it could only be possible for such a thing to occur in nature, and who was it, but Dr. Daszak. At the time, no one knew who he was, but as was later discovered he was behind the gain of function research in the US and was tightly linked to the research being done in Wuhan.

    All of this is now substantiated beyond discussion by these emails, but it the reality was largely before us, as unbelievable as it was, there were too many coincidental associations and self-dealing roles such as with Daszak. But nothing really new has been found that I have heard of in these emails. Just a thought I had.

    Oh, also the MSN article references that Trump reauthorized the gain of function research in 2017 – that is a lie. Obama reauthorized it 11 days prior to Trumps inauguration, just 3 days after Biden and Obama and Yates met and plotted the Logan Act Violation of Flynn.

  4. THis is from MSN, of all places. It explains the meaning and significance of “gain of function” research. “Gain of Function” is the term used by lab researchers to describe the process of enhancing the deadliness of a virus. All for the purpose of helping to contain future outbreaks, of course!

    What is gain of function? Research field back in focus as Covid linked to China ‘lab accident’
    New Delhi: The term ‘gain of function research’ has recently cropped up in the debate about the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has killed over 34 lakh people worldwide.

    ThePrint explains what the term means, and why it has once again rekindled the question of whether the SARS-CoV-2 spread was a result of a laboratory accident in China.

    What is gain of function research?

    ‘Gain of function’ is a field of research focused on growing generations of microorganisms, under conditions that cause mutations in a virus.

    These experiments are termed ‘gain of function’ because they involve manipulating pathogens in a way that they gain an advantage in or through a function, such as increased transmissibility.

    Such experiments allow scientists to better predict emerging infectious diseases, and to develop vaccines and therapeutics.

    Gain of function research may use genetic engineering or serial passaging.

    Genetic engineering involves ‘editing’ the genetic code to modify the virus in a way predetermined by the scientists.

    Meanwhile, serial passaging involves allowing the pathogen to grow under different circumstances and then observing the changes. For example, the pathogen may first be grown in one environment, and then a portion of it may be taken and allowed to grow in different sets of controlled environments. The process is continuously repeated, and the final product is compared to the original pathogen to understand how the microbe changed its genetic code.

    Why US temporarily paused funding it

    The issue of gain of function research came under scrutiny in 2012, when a team of Japanese scientists in the US published a paper that helped show how the avian flu H5N1 may have transmitted to humans.

    The group had altered the virus in a way that allowed it to reproduce in mammal lungs, which are a bit colder than bird lungs. This change allowed the virus to be transmitted via coughing and sneezing in ferrets.

    Although the research helped explain how H5N1 could become airborne in humans, it created an outcry in the US, with The New York Times stating in an editorial opinion “that the research should never have been undertaken”.

    Within the next two years, the Barack Obama administration in the US paused the funding of gain of function studies, particularly those anticipated to confer attributes to influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses — which have the potential to cause pandemics.

    The plan was to initiate a deliberative process to determine the risks and benefits of such experiments, and to develop a US policy for approving new studies.

    This moratorium was lifted under the Donald Trump administration in 2017 with a new policy framework to assess proposed research that would create pathogens with pandemic potential.

    Relevance to Covid-19 pandemic

    The discussion around gain of function research came back to focus recently, after a report argued that the possibility of the virus accidentally leaking out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology could not be entirely dismissed.

    While scientists had earlier ruled out the possibility of the virus being ‘genetically engineered’, the report by senior journalist Nicholas Wade said serial passaging may have led to the evolution of the virus during an ongoing gain of function research project in the Chinese city.

    Wade’s report alleged that the US’ National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) had funded a gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute. However, Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of NIAID and most prominent face in the US’s efforts against the pandemic, denied this.

    Since the report was published, there have been fresh calls from scientists across the world to thoroughly investigate the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus — taking hypotheses about both natural and laboratory spillovers seriously until there is sufficient data.

    WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had stated in March there will be a further investigation into whether an ‘accidental leak’ from the Wuhan institute led to the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Ethics related to gain of function research

    As mentioned above, the idea behind allowing mutant viruses to grow in a lab is to understand the risks of future pandemics.

    Even before the H5N1 research created an outcry in the US, the World Health Organization in 2010 developed a ‘guidance document’ for Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) in the life sciences.

    DURC refers to technology that was developed for peaceful purposes, but could be used for military aims.

    By 2014, there was a shift in the concerns, as pointed out by bioethics professor Michael J. Selgelid. Instead of deliberate misuse to cause harm, the concerns were around biosafety — that is, “a devastating pandemic could potentially result from a laboratory accident involving an especially dangerous pathogen created via GOFR (gain of function research)”.

    Selgelid also noted that even if GOFR has been adequately safe so far, similar future research might be conducted in countries or institutions with weaker infrastructure, where research oversight may occur.

    In an article written in 2012, Dr Fauci stated that the “benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks”.

    “It is more likely that a pandemic would occur in nature, and the need to stay ahead of such a threat is a primary reason for performing an experiment that might appear to be risky,” Fauci had written.

    However, he too pointed out that a gain of function experiment involving a virus with serious pandemic potential, performed in a world-class laboratory by experienced investigators, could be replicated by another scientist who does not have the same training and facilities.

    Ideally, research that involves risky, infectious pathogens that can spread via aerosols are conducted in Biosafety Safety Level-4 labs — considered the most secure for working with viral samples. Biosafety level is a set of precautions required to isolate dangerous biological agents in a laboratory, and the levels of containment range from 1 (the lowest) to 4.

    Fauci argued that the scientist in his example, working in a lab lower than Level 4, could become infected with the virus, in turn leading to an outbreak that would ultimately trigger a pandemic.

    After the outbreak of Covid-19, scientists from the US called for rethinking gain of function experiments. They proposed an important criterion for proceeding with such experiments — that there be a compelling medical reason to do so.

    “One should not be performing GOF experiments simply to ‘see what would happen’ without strong evidence that it could happen naturally,” the researchers wrote. “In other words, just because an experiment can be done does not mean that it should be done.”

    Chinese gain of function work on viruses in not only a likely cause of COVID19, but also may be the origin of humans being infected with “bird flu.” Bird flu is a more deadly disease than cv19 when it attacks humans. I has a 33% death rate for human victims.

    As this article explains, in 2012 a Japanese research team discovered convincing evidence that an outbreak of bird flu that year in China was the result of a lab engaged in “gain of function” research on bird flu. 21 people became symptomatic and seven of them died. There was a similarly high death rate from an outbreak of bird flu in 2017.

    Recently, a case of “bird flu” was reported in a human patient in China. He is said to be “in stable condition” in a Chinese hospital.

    If some Chinese lab has found a way of making a strain of “bird flu” as easily transmissible among humans as Cv19, then as many as 1/3 of the people on earth may die. That will make Bill Gates’ day.

  5. Dr. Nicole Saphier on Gain of Function Research in Wuhan Lab, Fauci’s Emails, and the Politicization of COVID-19
    At the Wuhan Institute of Virology, “they have published data that they were actually introducing furin cleavage sites,” a mutation that would make a virus much more dangerous, said Dr. Nicole Saphier, the director of breast imaging at a major cancer center.

    In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Saphier to discuss the Wuhan lab leak theory, Dr. Fauci’s newly released email trove, and her new book, “Panic Attack: Playing Politics With Science in the Fight Against COVID-19.”

    “When you have the CDC coming out saying young children still need to be wearing masks outdoors, even when they’re physically distancing, until they’re vaccinated—this makes no sense,” Dr. Saphier said.

    Former President Donald Trump demanded Thursday China pay ten trillion dollars in reparations to the United States for coronavirus deaths and destruction, as the country spent $13 trillion battling the virus.

    “China should pay Ten Trillion Dollars to America, and the World, for the death and destruction they have caused!” Trump wrote.

    “Now everyone, even the so-called ‘enemy,’ are beginning to say that President Trump was right about the China Virus coming from the Wuhan Lab. The correspondence between Dr. Fauci and China speaks too loudly for anyone to ignore,” he continued.

    According to the Committee for Responsible Government, the United States’ taxpayers have spent $13 trillion fighting the flu from China.

    As of June 3, 595,779 American citizens have died from the Chinese coronavirus.

    The United States currently owes China, according to the U.S. Treasury Department in June of 2020, $1.07 trillion in debt obligations.

    The Chinese Communist Party has not taken responsibility for the coronavirus pandemic that killed millions around the world.
