TAIPEI (Taiwan News) —
Video taken just days before the start of the coronavirus pandemic shows
a current World Health Organization (WHO) inspector discuss the testing
of modified coronaviruses on human cells and humanized mice in the
Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), just weeks before the first cases of
COVID-19 were announced in the city of Wuhan itself.

In a video that was originally taken on
Dec. 9, 2019, three weeks before the Wuhan Municipal Health
Commission announced an outbreak of a new form of pneumonia,
virologist Vincent Racaniello interviewed British zoologist and
president of EcoHealth Alliance Peter Daszak about his work at the
nonprofit to protect the world from the emergence of new diseases and
predict pandemics. Since 2014, Daszak's organization has received
millions of dollars of funding from the U.S. National Institutes of
Health (NIH), which it has funneled to the WIV to carry out research
on bat coronaviruses. In the first phase of research, which took
place from 2014 to 2019, Daszak coordinated with Shi Zhengli, (石正麗),
also known as "Bat Woman," at the WIV on investigating and
cataloging bat coronaviruses across China. EcoHealth Alliance
received US$3.7 million in funding from the NIH for this research and
10 percent was channeled to the WIV, reported NPR. The second, more
dangerous phase, which started in 2019, involved gain-of-function
(GoF) research on coronaviruses and chimeras in humanized mice from
the lab of Ralph S. Baric of the University of North Carolina.

Funding for the program was withdrawn by the NIH under the Trump
administration on April 27 amid the pandemic. At the 28:10 mark of
the podcast interview, Daszak states that researchers found that SARS
likely originated from bats and then set out to find more
SARS-related coronaviruses, eventually finding over 100. He observed
that some coronaviruses can "get into human cells in the lab,"
and others can cause SARS disease in "humanized mouse models."
He ominously warned that such coronaviruses are "untreatable
with therapeutic monoclonals [antibodies] and you can’t vaccinate
against them with a vaccine." Ironically, he claims that his
team's goal was trying to find the next "spillover event"
that could cause the next pandemic, mere weeks before cases of
COVID-19 were beginning to be reported in Wuhan. When Racaniello asks
what can be done to deal with coronavirus given that there is no
vaccine or therapeutic for them, Daszak at the 29:54 mark appears to
reveal that the goal of the GoF experiments was to develop a
pan-coronavirus vaccine for many different types of coronaviruses.
Based on his response, it is evident that just before the start of
the pandemic, the WIV was modifying coronaviruses in the lab. "You
can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily." What he then
mentioned has become the telltale trait of SARS-CoV-2, its spike
protein: "Spike protein drives a lot of what happens with the
coronavirus, zoonotic risk." Daszak mentions the WIV's
collaboration with Baric: "and we work with Ralph Baric at UNC
[University of North Carolina] to do this." As has been
suggested by proponents that SARS-CoV-2 is a chimera made in a lab,
he speaks of inserting the spike protein "into a backbone of
another virus" and then doing "some work in the lab."
Providing evidence of the creation of chimeras for the sake of a
vaccine, he states "Now, the logical progression for vaccines
is, if you are going to develop a vaccine for SARS, people are going
to use pandemic SARS, but let’s try to insert these other related
diseases and get a better vaccine.” Based on Daszak's statements,
it appears that just before the start of the pandemic, the WIV was
using GoF experiments with chimeras in an attempt to create a
vaccine. These experiments appeared to have included infecting mice
genetically modified to express the human ACE2 protein with these
chimeras. In a presentation titled "Assessing Coronavirus
Threats," which was delivered four years before the pandemic in
2015, Daszak points out that experiments involving humanized mice
have the highest degree of risk. Demonstrating his close ties with
the WIV, he also listed the lab as a collaborator at the end of the
presentation. WHO inspector caught on camera revealing coronavirus

team of experts from the WHO that has finally been allowed by Beijing
to investigate the origin of the outbreak of COVID-19, over a year
after it started. Scientists such as Richard Ebright, a molecular
biologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, are condemning
Daszak's participation due to conflicts of interest "that
unequivocally disqualify him from being part of an investigation of
the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic," reported the Daily Mail.
In light of the WHO's trip to Wuhan, a researcher who goes by the
pseudonym Billy Bostickson and his colleagues at DRASTIC
(Decentralized Radical

Autonomous Search Team Investigating
COVID-19) have created a petition demanding that the international
investigation team answer 50 key questions about the outbreak in
Wuhan. Among the questions is a request to access to the facility's
database and laboratory records, which are supposed to go back 20
years and include a look at its safety procedures, safety audit
reports, and safety incident reports.

For more than a year, the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) has systematically prevented a transparent and thorough
investigation of the COVID-19 pandemic’s origin, choosing instead to
devote enormous resources to deceit and disinformation. Nearly two
million people have died. Their families deserve to know the truth. Only
through transparency can we learn what caused this pandemic and how to
prevent the next one.

The U.S. government does not know exactly where, when,
or how the COVID-19 virus—known as SARS-CoV-2—was transmitted initially
to humans. We have not determined whether the outbreak began through
contact with infected animals or was the result of an accident at a
laboratory in Wuhan, China.

The virus could have emerged naturally
from human contact with infected animals, spreading in a pattern
consistent with a natural epidemic. Alternatively, a laboratory
accident could resemble a natural outbreak if the initial exposure
included only a few individuals and was compounded by asymptomatic
infection. Scientists in China have researched animal-derived
coronaviruses under conditions that increased the risk for accidental
and potentially unwitting exposure. The CCP’s deadly obsession with
secrecy and control comes at the expense of public health in China
and around the world. The previously undisclosed information in this
fact sheet, combined with open-source reporting, highlights three
elements about COVID-19’s origin that deserve greater scrutiny: 1.
Illnesses inside the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV): The U.S.
government has reason to believe that several researchers inside the
WIV became sick in autumn 2019, before the first identified case of
the outbreak, with symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common
seasonal illnesses. This raises questions about the credibility of
WIV senior researcher Shi Zhengli’s public claim that there was
“zero infection” among the WIV’s staff and students of
SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-related viruses.Accidental infections in labs have
caused several previous virus outbreaks in China and elsewhere,
including a 2004 SARS outbreak in Beijing that infected nine people,
killing one.The CCP has prevented independent journalists,
investigators, and global health authorities from interviewing
researchers at the WIV, including those who were ill in the fall of
2019. Any credible inquiry into the origin of the virus must include
interviews with these researchers and a full accounting of their
previously unreported illness. 2. Research at the WIV: Starting in at
least 2016 – and with no indication of a stop prior to the COVID-19
outbreak – WIV researchers conducted experiments involving RaTG13,
the bat coronavirus identified by the WIV in January 2020 as its
closest sample to SARS-CoV-2 (96.2% similar). The WIV became a focal
point for international coronavirus research after the 2003 SARS
outbreak and has since studied animals including mice,

bats, and pangolins.The WIV has a
published record of conducting “gain-of-function” research to
engineer chimeric viruses. But the WIV has not been transparent or
consistent about its record of studying viruses most similar to the
COVID-19 virus, including “RaTG13,” which it sampled from a cave
in Yunnan Province in 2013 after several miners died of SARS-like
illness.WHO investigators must have access to the records of the
WIV’s work on bat and other coronaviruses before the COVID-19
outbreak. As part of a thorough inquiry, they must have a full
accounting of why the WIV altered and then removed online records of
its work with RaTG13 and other viruses. 3. Secret military activity
at the WIV: Secrecy and non-disclosure are standard practice for
Beijing. For many years the United States has publicly raised
concerns about China’s past biological weapons work, which Beijing
has neither documented nor demonstrably eliminated, despite its clear
obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention.Despite the WIV
presenting itself as a civilian institution, the United States has
determined that the WIV has collaborated on publications and secret
projects with China’s military. The WIV has engaged in classified
research, including laboratory animal experiments, on behalf of the
Chinese military since at least 2017.The United States and other
donors who funded or collaborated on civilian research at the WIV
have a right and obligation to determine whether any of our research
funding was diverted to secret Chinese military projects at the WIV.
Today’s revelations just scratch the surface of what is still
hidden about COVID-19’s origin in China. Any credible investigation
into the origin of COVID-19 demands complete, transparent access to
the research labs in Wuhan, including their facilities, samples,
personnel, and records. As the world continues to battle this
pandemic – and as WHO investigators begin their work, after more
than a year of delays – the virus’s origin remains uncertain. The
United States will continue to do everything it can to support a
credible and thorough investigation, including by continuing to
demand transparency on the part of Chinese authorities.

Alles schön und gut. Die dargebotene Menge fällt jedoch unter SPAM. Was ich sagen wollte: Finnen sind fitter als der Rest der Welt. Sport, Eisbaden, Sauna. Geringe Bevölkerungsdichte, etc.

Schöne Werbung fuer FI😉. Hier in FI hst es zwar nur Empfehlungen gegeben wegen Maskenpflicht, die Leute haben aber durch das Brainwashing im TV und sonstiger MSM immer mehr freiwillig die Masken aufgesetzt. In Schulen usw werden auch immer mehr Massnahmen in Richtung Maskenball durchgefuehrt was nach den offiziellen Zahlen der THL (=wie RKI) keinen Sinn mehr macht. Die 10 Personen Begrenzungen richtet hier auch alle Berufsgruppen mit Publikum zugrunde. Manche Leute wissen gar nicht, dass es nur Empfehlungen sind😳 Viele Pflegekräfte und auch Leute zB in den Supermärkten werden schon länger unter Druck gesetzt, dass sie die Grippeimpfung nehmen sollen. Lehrer und Schulen werden. jetzt zunehmend unter Karantäne gesetzt. Das Katz und Maus-Spiel mit den Demos hat hier jetzt auch angefangen. Fuer Morgen ist Demo in Helsinki angemeldet aber nicht nur eine,sondern viele, weil jeder in seine Gruppe nur die 10 Leut mitnehmen darf(die duerfen sich aber gegenseitig austauschen und in andere Gruppen wechseln sofern es halt immer nur 10 Leute sind😂) und die Polizei war der Meinung dass auf den grossen kansallistori (dort gibt es uebrigens ein Schild zur Meinungsfreiheit) nur 12 der 10erGruppen passen, so dass die Demos jetzt fuer viele Orte in der Nähe angemeldet sind. Mal sehen was da morgen dann passiert. Beim letzten Mal hat die Polizei dchon mal Leute (den Organisierer und such jemanden mit Journalidtenausweis)kurzweilig festgenommen. (30.1.) Die Skizentren sind hingehen voll🤔weil der Klimawandel ausgeblieben ist und wir hier wieder normalen Winter mit Schnee haben. Hier sieht es also nur teilweise besser aus, was die unsinnigen Massnahmen betrifft. Hier haben wir in der Zwischenzeit auch Gruppen die sich um die Gegenaufklärung kuemmern zB koronarealistit. com und vapaudenpuolesta.fi (= uebersetzt: "fuer die Freiheit").
