How did coronavirus gain-of-function research get started? It began in 2004 shortly after Congress passed the BioShield Act "to accelerate the research, development, purchase, and availability of effective medical countermeasures against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats [CBRN]." This ushered in a research bonanza and government dollars flowed all... show more

‘A Manufactured Illusion’ - Dr David Martin

Powerful “Big Guys” working with the CCP are selling out our country. Their secret alliance is a serious threat. Investigate and stop them now!

I saw interviews with Sasha Latipova re: DOD, BARDA, CRO, Pharma, FDA, CDC, AMA, wide bureaucratic syndicate. DOD apparently demanded a public demonstration of a countermeasure to the invented chimera/virus. Also saw Lancet report before it was scrubbed online.

"Seems like someone's trying to stir up some drama about the origins of COVID research! McCullough, the doc, sure is passionate about this topic".

Dr. Anthony Fauci funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, lied to Congress about it, and now both the FBI & the Department of Energy have concluded that the coronavirus originated at the Wuhan lab. Does that mean Dr. Anthony Fauci funded the development of COVID-19?

NEW: RFK Jr. calls this a historic day—and exposes the shocking history behind gain of function research in America. The HHS Secretary called it what it is: “A historic day, the end of end of function research funding by the federal government and also controls by private corporations on getting function studies.” Then he dropped the chilling backstory the media never talks about. It started in 1947—when U.S. military and intelligence agencies began experimenting with biological weapons. By 1969, the CIA bragged they had reached “nuclear equivalency”—the ability to wipe out the entire U.S. population for just 29 cents per person. That same year, President Nixon visited Fort Detrick and shut it down, ending what he called “dual use research”—bioweapons disguised as vaccine development. He then got 180+ countries to sign the bioweapons charter in 1973, effectively ending gain of function work worldwide. But after the 2001 anthrax attacks, it came roaring back. RFK Jr. pointed to a little-known clause in the Patriot Act that quietly gave U.S. officials legal immunity—even if they violated the bioweapons charter. “That relaunched a bio weapons arms race and that was driven by gain of function research.” In 2014, after three deadly pathogens escaped U.S. labs, Obama placed a moratorium on the practice—but the research didn’t stop. It just moved offshore to the Wuhan lab. This, RFK Jr. says, is how it all began. And why today—finally—matters.

October, 2018. While speaking at Harvard, Fauci is asked if gain of function research is worth the risk, specifically the risk of it leaking from a lab. Fauci: Banning all gain of function research will interfere with some of things we need to do. Fauci has already lied under oath about funding gain of function research and he's probably going to lie about it again shortly.

Peter Daszak argues the research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology did not constitute gain-of-function research. Why? Because it fell outside of the 2017 HHS P3CO Framework on gain-of-function research, which only applied to enhancing potential pandemic pathogens—i.e. things that were likely highly virulent in humans already. So the argument is: the research at WIV did not fit the definition of "enhanced pathogens of pandemic potential" because the bat coronaviruses studied there had not been shown to infect humans. So in other words, under this 2017 HHS P3CO Framework, altering a virus that's not infectious in humans to make it highly infectious in humans DID NOT constitute gain-of-function research. Mind-boggling.

With Dr. Anthony Fauci back in the news and testifying before Rand Paul's committee, recall this investigation we did. Project Veritas obtained never-before-seen Dept of Defense documents regarding gain-of-function research, the concealment of documents, and the suppression of potential COVID-19 treatments. According to Project Veritas' 2022 reporting, the documents contradicted Dr. Fauci's testimony before Congress. According to the documents, the Dept of Defense rejected EcoHealth Alliance's proposed coronavirus research because it was deemed "too dangerous" and "too close" to violating the gain-of-function research moratorium. According to the documents, the research later proceeded through NIAID under Dr. Fauci's leadership.

$44 MILLION of FAUCI's NIAID and USAID was sent to the Wuhan lab for gain-of-function research, aka, BIOWEAPON development. This was around the time Obama secretly moved Fauci's covid project overseas after 300 scientists wrote to Obama to stop Fauci's dangerous viral research because of a previous dangerous lab leak. Over $53 MILLION of federal funding USAID, taxpayer dollars, went to EcoHealth Alliance between 2004-2022. This is how long these projects have been in development along with numerous others. $3 MILLION of the EcoHealth alliance money went to the coronavirus project, with $500K going directly to Wuhan. The project was expanded through multiple labs and stages of development. The money from these organizations went to Wuhan where a discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses gain-of-function research was being performed, leading to new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus. One report state: "Predictive models of host range will be tested experimentally using reverse genetics, pseudovirus, and receptor binding assays, and virus infection experiments across a range of cell cultures from different species and HUMANIZED MICE." This is just ONE thread of testing and creating a virus and making it transmissible to humans.

INFURIATING. Former CDC Director Robert Redfield reveals gain of function research is still happening under a different scientific definition: "The president has passed an executive order to stop the research, but the truth is this type of research is [still] being done. Part of the reason is the scientific community chose to change the definition." "If you start with a virus that's not pathogenic for humans and turn it into a highly pathogenic for humans, they say that's not gain-of-function research. In order for it to be gain-of-function research it has to be pathogenic from the beginning." "It's a false argument. Very disappointing. We ought to move away from this type of research."

Reminder: EcoHealth themselves thanked NIH for lifting the pause on their risky gain-of-function research. Fauci knows he lied to Congress when he claimed he did not fund gain-of-function research. And Joe Biden pardoned him for it.

OBAMA was involved in the CREATION of U.S. BIOLABS conducting gain-of-function research of deadly pathogens across the world, especially in Ukraine using U.S. taxpayer dollars, through agencies like USAID. After the bioweapons convention ban ended in 2001 and after the anthrax attacks, Dr. Fauci essentially restarted the bioweapons arms race under the pretension of developing vaccines. In 2014, Obama moved Fauci's gain-of-function research offshore after Obama was essentially begged to shut down operations from over 250+ scientists because of the dangerous research Dr. Fauci was conducting. President Trump was the one who shut down gain-of-function research in the U.S. and abroad. DNI Tulsi Gabbard first exposed these labs in 2022 and now the proof of 120+ biolabs in 30+ countries, with a heavy focus on Ukraine, where the U.S. built and supported over 40 labs has been released and it all goes right back to the Obama administration and Dr. Fauci.

🚨Sen. Rand Paul details one of MANY lies Anthony Fauci told the public: "On May 11, 2021, you told the Senate the NIH has never, ever, and does not now fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. When I gave you the opportunity to correct the record to reconsider the statement, you responded that you had never before lied to Congress. We were then told that only the government's narrowest regulation of definition counted here. That you could define gain-of-function in one way in which this was not gain-of-function, in which all of the common sense of the world be thrown out [...] But the real question is, was it dangerous? Was it a wise decision to fund this? And you haven't deviated from that. You've never admitted that it could have been a mistake, running this research in China. The American people were not asking for a semantics debate over what is gain-of-function. They were asking, does common sense say this research was dangerous in Wuhan? They wanted to know whether their money funded experiments in Wuhan that made bad coronavirus' better able to infect humans. The answer is, yes."
