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

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.

Sounds like a great Idea, in fact the daily mail got Foia copies of emails where what could go wrong was discussed after the fact.

At least we got the work done for free.

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.

Hey I’ve got a terrific idea, let’s team up with our most dangerous enemy and develop new viruses for which there is no cure.

“The troubling question was it an accident or deliberate?”

I can’t come up with a good answer as to why go down this path. I can come up with evil answers but not any good answers.

Yep, really nothing profitable down that line of thought but nightmares

Because the world doesn’t already have enough viruses that emerge through natural processes? This reminds of when they had to re-route a new interstate highway in the American Bottoms because the original route ran through the breeding area of a rare mosquito. Nobody who lives there has ever complained about a lack of mosquitoes. No sane person, anyway.

Whoever developed this and cut it loose on the world needs to burn in the hottest part of South Hell.

Exactly the guy that promoted the idea that Covid came from bat meat and mocked the lab theory.

I believe we the US wanted to do this stuff but was cinstrained due to laws in the US. So we went to China where you can do anything. Anything.

I hope Trump didn’t approve or know.

Shame on us. Despicable.

Imagine what we would think of any other country who went to China and did this. This is like global disaster.

I could be wrong but I think Sen Paul has amply illustrated it was a US China effort in Wuhan.

The hamfisted denying overreaching lying response was totally deliberate. That is enough for me.

Trying to escape US controls on this evil work was also deliberate.

Scum and villainy.

Don’t forget that Peter Daszak was the head of the journal “The Lancet” investigating the origins of Covid-19. He had to resign because he did not reveal his ties to the Wuhan lab.

Daszak is a criminal and deserves the noose for what he was trying to accomplish.

The Lancet is nothing more than an apologist site for communism in our nation.

Recently, The Lancet published a story “estimating” that police kill more black men than is reported. Of course it is bullshit, but it is now being touted by the defund the police and racist groups as fact.

For decades, most of our institutions are infiltrated and filled with communists, including the GOP.

Never trust anything that comes from The Lancet.

This was all done to engineer "The Great Reset" for the global economy from one based on individual liberty and capitalism to one based on group rights and communism.

The answer to this question may be obvious and sinister, but I’m going to ask anyway. Why would scientists want to create this?

2nd question; are these government funded scientists? If not, who funds them?
