[Telegraph, Yahoo]: Wuhan scientists planned to release coronavirus particles into cave bats, leaked papers reveal
2021-09-27
by Sarah Knapton

Wuhan and US scientists were planning to release enhanced airborne coronavirus particles into Chinese bat populations to inoculate them against diseases that could jump to humans, leaked grant proposals dating from 2018 show.

New documents show that just 18 months before the first Covid-19 cases appeared, researchers had submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles and aerosols containing "novel chimeric spike proteins" of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China.

They also planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to fund the work.

So perhaps they'd have come up with a human-transmission enhanced version of the virus that was already running loose in the wild reservior. Perfect plausible deniability.

Wuhan Scientists Planned To Release ’Chimeric Covid Spike Proteins’ Into Bat Populations Using ’Skin-Penetrating Nanoparticles’.

possible key quote:

One anonymous World Health Organization (WHO) scientist told The Telegraph that Daszak’s grant proposal shockingly proposed plans to enhance the more deadly MERS (Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome).

"The scary part is they were making infectious chimeric Mers viruses," said the source, adding "These viruses have a fatality rate over 30 per cent, which is at least an order of magnitude more deadly than Sars-CoV-2."

Also note, this seems to be a different set of grants than the ones we found out about on Sept. 8th.

#3  Sickening. I'm literally ill just reading this.

What will we do with these shitheads?

How much longer will we tolerate their madness?
