Dr. Joseph Mercola Oct 2, 2022 STORY AT-A-GLANCE Early on in the COVID pandemic, Francis Boyle, Ph.D., was sure it was the result of a lab leak. He believes monkeypox is another lab creation, as it now suddenly has 30 mutations from the wild monkeypox found in Africa President Biden recently signed the Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe and Secure American Bioeconomy, and this order basically promises we'll see additional manmade pandemics Section 12, paragraph VII in Biden's executive order states that the purpose of the order is to "develop and work and promote and implement ... dual-use research of concern, and research involving potentially pandemic and other high-consequence pathogens" That means they intend to perform gain-of-function research on deadly pathogens, any one of which could be released to create a global pandemic when a scare event is necessary to trick populations into choosing a false sense of safety over freedom. Boyle believes there's no doubt there will be additional pandemics, because they're intentionally creating them Boyle believes monkeypox was engineered and released in an effort to scare governments and populations into accepting the World Health Organization's pandemic treaty, which would make the WHO the sole decision-maker in pandemic situations In this interview, repeat guest Francis Boyle — whose background includes an undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago, a juris doctor (lawyer) degree from Harvard and a Ph.D. in political science — shares his views on the latest efforts to instill fear in the public, this time about monkeypox. For decades, Boyle has advocated against the development and use of bioweapons, which COVID-19 appears to be. He called for biowarfare legislation at the Biological Weapons Convention of 1972, and drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act, which was passed unanimously by both houses of Congress and signed into law by George Bush, Sr. in 1989. Early on in the pandemic, Boyle was sure COVID-19 was the result of a lab leak. In fact, he was one of the first to bring that up. Of course, for the past two-plus years, anyone who shared the lab leak theory was vilified, discredited, censored and deplatformed. Today, we know that information was true, and even mainstream media are starting to report on it. White House Admits More Pandemics Will Be Created As detailed in "Executive Order Advances Biotech-Transhumanist Agenda," President Biden recently signed the "Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe and Secure American Bioeconomy."1 As noted by Boyle, this executive order basically ensures the creation of additional bioweapons: "It's a very lengthy executive order. At the very end, they give it all away, where it says, [in Section 12] Paragraph VII, that the purpose of this is to ‘develop and work and promote and implement ... dual-use research of concern, and research involving potentially pandemic and other high-consequence pathogens ...' Now let me work that out for you. ‘Dual-use research of concern' means offensive and then defensive biological warfare weapons. The Bidenites admit here that their agenda is to promote and implement more offensive biological warfare weapons. That's what ‘dual-use research of concern' means. Then, to try to perfect these weapons with some type of bogus vaccine involving reverse engineering or something like that. Notice, they admit they are going to develop these offensive biological warfare weapons, ‘involving potentially pandemic and other high consequence pathogens.' They are going to research, develop more biological warfare weapons like COVID-19, that the United States government was involved in. They admit this right here. Now, you listen to the mainstream news media and everyone is saying ‘Yes, the next pandemic is coming.' This is where it is coming from — right here, ‘dual-use research of concern involving potentially pandemic and other high consequence pathogens.'" Executive Order Cannot Override Bioweapons Convention If you wonder whether this kind of dual-use bioweapons research might violate the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act, the answer is yes. The 1989 act directly prohibits this kind of activity. But beyond its unlawfulness, Boyle's primary concern is that it's existentially dangerous to continue down this path. "COVID-19, which I was the first to blow the whistle on, was clearly an offensive biological warfare weapon with gain of function properties that had leaked out of that Wuhan BSL-4, China's Fort Detrick. The Bidenites have made it clear they're going full speed ahead. They have crossed the Rubicon. They do not intend to turn back. They're doubling down, they're tripling down. In my opinion, this is what confronts us now today," he says. While some claim an executive order can override a previous law and/or signed treaty, according to Boyle, this is incorrect on both accounts. "No, an executive order cannot override my Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act, and it cannot override the Biological Weapons Convention," he says. "This is just an in-run around both of them — an attempted in-run, despite the fact that violation of my Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act is a felony punishable by life imprisonment. The Department of Justice did want me, repeatedly, to put the death penalty in there, but I'm a lifelong abolitionist and I did not want any statute of mine to carry the death penalty." So, then, which takes precedence? And how do we resolve or reconcile this conflict? According to Boyle, no reconciliation is possible, barring new legislation by Congress. "Whoever drafted this [executive order] knew full well that they were violating the Biological Weapons Convention and my Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act. An executive order cannot supersede either a treaty or a statute. Only a subsequent statute by Congress could do that." Resisting Medical Tyranny A related tangent brought up in the interview is how the Emergency Powers Act has been misused to strip us of personal freedoms and liberties. Essentially, this pandemic has demonstrated that you can turn a democratically elected Congress into a tyrannical regime that can rule without restraint. Boyle recently published a book in which he discusses this, titled "Resisting Medical Tyranny: Why the COVID-19 Mandates Are Criminal." In it, he also details how we can fight against this tyrannical overreach using peaceful and entirely legal means. Justification for Enslavement: Biosecurity This is really important, and brings us to the issue of monkeypox, which was declared a public health emergency in late July 2022, as it cuts to the core of the global cabal's strategy to enslave the world by progressively chipping away at our personal freedoms under the justification of "biosecurity." As noted by Boyle: "In my opinion, this monkeypox epidemic ... was a biological warfare weapon with gain of function properties that came out of someone's lab and was released in multiple locations to scare people. Why? I don't think it was a coincidence at all that the World Health Organization, their meeting at the World Health Assembly (WHA) was considering regulations that would have done, once again, an in-run over and around the sovereignty of the United States of America and our state and local governments to control our health care. Under the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, public health falls within the control of state and local governments, not the federal government. That is why, down there in Florida or in Texas, you can have governors adopting different policies from [those] issued by the CDC [Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention] in Washington, D.C. You have several governors now rebelling against these totalitarian dictatorial [edicts] coming out of Washington, D.C., In order to try to stop that, they came up with these regulations that they tried to get through the World Health Assembly earlier this summer, and that failed. The monkeypox, in my opinion, was then released in order to scare the governments of the world into accepting these regulations. That failed,2 but ... the WHO is now meeting to negotiate and conclude a treaty that will fold into it the same WHA regulations ... The purpose of this [global] WHO treaty, once again, is to do an in-run around American sovereignty to make decisions at a state and local basis as to how to treat matters of public health in the next pandemic, which they know is coming, because they're already preparing for it in accordance with the biotech executive order that I just quoted to you. They know it's coming. They're preparing it. They're getting it ready. The next time, by means of this WHO treaty, they will then attempt to argue that the treaty is the supreme law of the land under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution and therefore trumps and displaces the ability of state and local governments ... to determine public health. Indeed, there is a Supreme Court case to that effect that they know all about, Missouri vs. Holland, that if a treaty is concluded, it does override the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. We have to understand these people know exactly what they are doing, and we have to stop them." Call on the US Senate to Reject WHO Treaty The WHO met in Washington, D.C., from September 26 through September 30, 2022,3 and according to Boyle, treaty discussions were part of that session. Boyle suggests we need to call on our senators to sign a letter that they will vote against any WHO treaty coming down the line, and then forward that letter to the World Health Assembly, the WHO and member nations. "If we can get one-third plus one members of the United States Senate to sign [such a letter], I think that will kill this proposed treaty," Boyle says. Other nations could do the same. To be clear, this WHO treaty is global in nature, so the U.S. is not the only country that stands to lose its sovereignty were it to pass. All member states are in the same boat. "If the treaty gets passed, then they will use that treaty to enforce WHO [recommendations] all over the world on the handling of the next pandemic, and that will get us all killed," Boyle says. "The WHO is a rotten, corrupt, criminal organization, and the proof of that is [that] the WHO is a sponsoring institution of the Wuhan BSL-4, which is China's Fort Detrick. Imagine if the WHO were a sponsoring organization of our Fort Dietrich. We would know the cat was out of the bag. That's exactly what's going on here with the WHO. The CDC, Bill Gates, the Chinese Communist government and Big Pharma that pay for the WHO will force everyone to continue to take more vaccines ... and more boosters, forever. There'll be no end to it." At present, it seems they will simply continue to push until the treaty passes. Getting at more than one-third of the U.S. Senate to reject any possible treaty with the WHO, now or in the future, may be the only way to stop it permanently. "[The treaty] will probably pass the WHO assembly," Boyle says. "The U.S. government representative could sign it and then they would send it to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for ratification by the Senate. We need to head this off as soon as we can with this letter [signed by] one-third plus one of the Senate, just saying ‘We're going to reject it.' We have to start lobbying now against the treaty. We'll have limited time once it goes to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Remember, the Democrats control the Senate. They control the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. They could get it through very quickly to present it to the full Senate. We have to go all out to stop this treaty. You're down there in Florida. I would certainly hope you could alert Governor DeSantis to the dangers here. His powers will be terminated under the terms of this treaty to regulate all public health. He'll be obligated to obey whatever the WHO tells him to obey. If he does not, then the federal government can go into the United States federal district court and get an injunction under the treaty, mandating that he comply, and if he does not, he could be fined if not jailed for contempt. It's a very dangerous situation." Ramifications of the WHO Treaty Indeed, most people don't fully appreciate the implications of this WHO treaty. The ramifications are truly profound. Expanding on what could occur were it to be passed, Boyle says: "I have already pointed out that in Biden's executive order, they are going full steam ahead to develop offensive biological warfare weapons using DNA, genetic engineering, synthetic biology, gain-of-function properties, et cetera, including for pandemics. That's the next COVID-19 pandemic right there. They've admitted it in writing. Knowing full well the next pandemic is coming because they're developing it, it's coming out of their laboratories, we have to shut down their BSL-3 and BSL-4 [laboratories]. They are now planning and preparing — by means of this treaty — to demand that all public health authorities here in the United States of America obey anything the CDC tells them to do in the next pandemic, and in the COVID 19 pandemic. If they do not, they can be sued before a federal judge in U.S. district court, get an injunction, get fines, be found guilty of contempt. That's what's at stake here. Yes, it will do a total in-run around the governors of Florida and Texas, North Dakota, et cetera, and eliminate all of their power. The CDC and the WHO literally will be Stalinist dictators telling us what we have to do when it comes to the next pandemic, which they are already planning right now in accordance with Biden's Biotechnology order. It's that simple ... The biotechnology executive order and this WHO treaty are connected with each other, and the monkeypox [outbreak], I think, was designed to scaremonger everyone into going along with the WHO regulations and now with the WHO treaty. They needed something new, so monkeypox was released." Help Us Stop the WHO Treaty At the time of this writing, there's no U.S. campaign to get senators to sign a letter stating they will reject a WHO treaty. That has yet to be created. If you know of one, or get one started, be sure to share it in the comment section. In the U.K, there's a petition underway calling on the British Parliament to not sign any WHO pandemic treaty unless it is first approved by public referendum. If you're in the U.K., you can sign that Parliamentary petition here. The British parliament will consider all petitions with more than 100,000 signatures, and this one, at the time of this writing, has 154,660 signatures. It will remain open until November 17, 2022. (An earlier petition was rejected because it didn't spell out what the people wanted government to do. The updated petition clarifies the desired action.) Background on the Global Cabal Leaders While Boyle ended up on the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of worldview, he underwent the same education as many of the global cabal leaders who are now trying to destroy the world and, seemingly, everything and everyone in it. He explains: "Klaus Schwab studied at Harvard, but not my program. The program I was in was the GSAS [graduate school of arts and sciences] Ph.D. program, where Harvard trains future professors of political science like [Henry] Kissinger, [Zbigniew] Brzezinski and Samuel Huntington. Schwab went to the Kennedy School at Harvard. The Kennedy School is a misnomer because there Harvard trains future U.S. imperial governmental operatics and spear-carriers. They're all warmongers and spooks there — I was there when it was set up — and their fellow travelers and fifth columnists in foreign countries that get incorporated into the U.S. imperial elite. Klaus Schwab, when he studied there, said he found Kissinger to be the most competent person at Harvard. Well, Kissinger, I went through the exact same program [as him]. He is a diehard Machiavellian. There's no question about it. He does not have a principled bone in his body ... Kissinger was the one who got Schwab the job heading the Davos forum. We have to understand that behind Kissinger, as behind Brzezinski, is the Rockefeller family paying the bills, pulling the strings. Kissinger and Brzezinski had been on the Rockefeller family payroll for quite some time. Brzezinski was head of the Trilateral Commission set up by David Rockefeller ... We also know that when Kissinger worked for Nixon, Kissinger put out that infamous national security directive that population control and reduction is part of the national security policy of the United States of America. I haven't read anywhere that ... [it] has been revoked. That is really what's going on here with Klaus Schwab, the Davos forum, the Davos crowd, based on my experience." Even closer to the top of the globalist pyramid we find the Rothschild family, whose power preceded the Rockefellers by centuries. Considering Boyle has been a Harvard insider his entire career, how did he escape the brainwashing that occurs there? "Well, what happened was, at the end of May 1967, I had just turned 17 and I was so appalled by the Vietnam War that I resolved to myself that I would get the most elite education I possibly could, and turn it against the people running United States Empire. That's what happened. It's what I decided to do with my life." Monkeypox — Another Created Bioweapon? As Boyle stated earlier, he believes monkeypox is another lab creation released for the purpose of scaring the public into accepting a health dictatorship under the leadership of the WHO. "As I said, they are going to continue to release bioengineered pandemics on us when it suits their interest, like they did Amerithrax in October 2001 to ram the USA Patriot Act through Congress — which set up a police state in the United States of America that we are still grappling with — and like COVID-19 and the monkeypox too. There'll be no end to this process. My estimation in looking at the timing of the monkeypox, it clearly came out of someone's biological warfare laboratory ... It has 30 genetic mutations beyond the wild type monkeypox in Africa. The only way it could have gotten 30 genetic mutations beyond [wild] monkeypox is it was done in someone's lab ... It was released just as they were trying to get these regulations through the World Health Assembly. It was deliberately designed to scaremonger governments to go along with those WHA regulations. It's still continuing today, to get this WHO treaty passed, though it hasn't been as successful, I think, as they had originally believed [it would be]. [But] we know from the Biden executive order there will be some other biowarfare pandemic or epidemic coming, whenever they think they have to scare people into following their agenda, which is clearly set forth in The Great Reset by Schwab. Just read his book. It's all in there, including transhumanism and the rest of it ... But I don't think they have succeeded with the monkeypox to scare people enough to go along with this WHO treaty, which will put dictatorial powers in the hands of [WHO director-general] Tedros [Adhanom Ghebreyesus], the WHO, Bill Gates, the CDC and the Chinese communist government. All that indicates is that we'll probably have some other scaremongering biowarfare event. That's pretty clear from the Biden administration biotech order. They're planning and preparing it right now. It's in someone's lab. We just don't know what it is going to be." Of course, they also have a number of other avenues they could use, including supply chain disruptions, food and fuel shortages, deindustrialization, nuclear war and more. So, there are a lot of different things they can do to activate the fear factor and seize global control. Nuclear war is starting to look like a possibility as NATO keeps fanning the flames of conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and a nuclear emergency could also put the entire country under Marshall Law overnight. Boyle comments: "The Bidenites appear, at this point, to be engaging in acts of hostility, belligerent acts, acts of war against Russia, without authorization by the United States Congress in violation of the War Powers Resolution, in violation of the War Powers Clause of the U.S. Constitution. We are in a de facto, I would not say yet de jure, but a de facto state of war with Russia. Foreign Minister Lavrov has just said, ‘We're on the verge of a de jure war with the United States.' If it threatens to go nuclear, sure, the Bidenites could ... put us all under Martial Law." More Information To learn more about how you can resist tyrannical overreach, check out Boyle's book, "Resisting Medical Tyranny: Why the COVID-19 Mandates Are Criminal." "I have several legal strategies in there that ordinary people can conduct, including trying to get state and local prosecutors to indict Fauci and the rest of them for murder and conspiracy to commit murder," Boyle says. "We want them to indict Fauci, not just file a civil lawsuit. We want them to indict. I had a 45-minute meeting by Zoom with the attorney general of Louisiana, and I went through the Louisiana homicide statute with respect to Fauci and Collins and the pharma people. He agreed with my theory of the case under the Louisiana homicide statute. There it sits. We'll have to see what he does with it. Then I had a 35-minute meeting with the Deputy Attorney General of South Carolina. I went through the South Carolina homicide statute with him, and he agreed with my theory of the case. Basically, it's a political issue. People need to demand that these two categories of people — those who developed COVID-19, Fauci and Collins, and then the executives of the drug companies making the Frankenshots — be indicted for murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Those [case details] are explained in great detail in my book, ‘Resisting Medical Tyranny.'" Boyle also laid out this strategy in a previous interview, featured in "Roadmap for Prosecuting COVID Crimes." I've been trying to implement that strategy myself, and am in the process of connecting U.S. Right to Know — a group that through FOIA request has amassed irrefutable evidence of a conspiracy to cover up the lab leak theory — with Florida's attorney general. I'm hoping we can get the attorney general's office to indict the key criminals responsible for the creation of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID shots, which have now killed and injured far more people worldwide than the virus itself. You can help by contacting the AGs of Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida and urging them to pursue these cases. ... 1 Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe and Secure American Bioeconomy 2 Washington Post May 22, 2022 3 WHO.int Dates of Constitutional Meetings (2) The COVID Rabbit Hole: former CDC head Robert Redfield says Fauci et al conspired to hide Lab Leak - Joseph Mercola https://takecontrol.substack.com/p/covid-rabbit-hole The COVID Rabbit Hole: An Inside Look at the Virus' Origin In early 2020, a Scripps Research virologist discovered a paper describing gain-of-function techniques that looked like a how-to manual for building the Wuhan coronavirus in a laboratory. Dr. Joseph Mercola October 1, 2022 STORY AT-A-GLANCE Evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 being the result of a lab leak, and that Dr. Anthony Fauci, Harvard researchers, China, the mainstream media, the World Health Organization and tech companies all worked together to cover it up. U.S. Right to Know has published a detailed timeline of the cover-up In mid-January 2020, then-director of the CDC, Dr. Robert Redfield voiced concerns that the pandemic may have been the result of a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. He called Fauci, Wellcome Trust director Jeremy Farrar, and World Health Organization director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, urging each of them to "take the lab leak hypothesis with extreme seriousness." To this day, he believes the lab leak theory is the most credible In his memoir, "Spike," Farrar noted that emails were circulating among credible scientists "suggesting the virus looked almost engineered to infect human cells." The topic so concerned him, he acquired a burner phone and instructed his contacts to use different phones and email accounts when discussing the matter January 29, 2020, Scripps Research virologist Kristian Andersen discovered a research paper describing gain-of-function techniques used on coronaviruses at the WIV that could have given rise to SARS-CoV-2. According to Andersen, the study looked like a how-to manual for building the Wuhan coronavirus Andersen and several other researchers who initially suspected a lab leak rapidly changed their minds, coincidentally mere days after the Chinese real estate company Evergrande made a large donation to Harvard Medical School That all of our federal health agencies are captured by industry can no longer be in doubt. The COVID pandemic has confirmed lingering suspicions of this, and then some. Captured agencies that are now more or less openly working against the interest of the American public include the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They have repeatedly authorized experimental mRNA-based COVID shots despite overwhelming evidence of harm and little to no benefit. The National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which has been in charge of all U.S. biodefense research since 2003, under the leadership of Dr. Anthony Fauci, is also part of this group. As reported by Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar (video above), evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 being the result of a lab leak, and that Fauci, Harvard researchers, China, the mainstream media, the World Health Organization and tech companies all worked together to cover it up. In his report, Saagar reviews the timeline of that cover-up, published by U.S. Right to Know (USRTK) September 14, 2022.1 Timeline of the Lab Leak Cover-Up — January 2020 In mid-January 2020, then-director of the CDC, Dr. Robert Redfield, a virologist, voiced concerns that the pandemic may have been the result of a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. He told Vanity Fair that he called Fauci, Wellcome Trust director Jeremy Farrar, and World Health Organization director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, urging each of them to "take the lab-leak hypothesis with extreme seriousness."2 In his memoir, "Spike," Farrar also noted that emails were circulating among credible scientists "suggesting the virus looked almost engineered to infect human cells."3 The topic so concerned him, he acquired a burner phone and instructed his contacts to use different phones and email accounts when discussing the matter. January 27, 2020, Fauci was reminded that he funds coronavirus research at the WIV by way of the EcoHealth Alliance, which by then had been collaborating with the WIV on coronavirus research for the previous five years. Two days later (January 29) Scripps Research virologist Kristian Andersen discovered a paper describing gain-of-function techniques used on coronaviruses at the WIV that could potentially have given rise to SARS-CoV-2. As reported by USRTK:4 "Andersen became alarmed that a bat coronavirus may have been engineered to infect humans, pointing to the receptor binding domain and furin cleavage site ... He also flagged a gain-of-function study that 'looked like a how-to manual for building the Wuhan coronavirus in a laboratory.' 'Andersen found a scientific paper where exactly this technique had been used to modify the spike protein of the original SARS-CoV-1 virus, the one that had caused the SARS outbreak of 2002/3,' Farrar wrote. 'The pair knew of a laboratory where researchers had been experimenting on coronaviruses for years: the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in the city at the heart of the outbreak.' The title of this paper is unknown. But it is clear that a 2015 paper5 involving gain-of-function work with a SARS-CoV backbone at the Wuhan Institute of Virology appears to have alarmed Fauci a few days later. The 2015 paper had been given an abbreviated title: 'SARS Gain of function.' Andersen and [University of Sydney virologist Edward] Holmes met on a Zoom call. 'Fuck, this is bad,' Holmes said in response to Andersen's findings." January 31, 2020, Andersen wrote an email to Fauci, stating that the virus looked unnatural to him and three other virologists who had looked at its genetic sequence, and that all four of them "find the genome to be inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory." The three virologists in question were Robert (Bob) Garry at the Tulane Cancer Center, Eddie Holmes at the University of Sydney and Michael Farzan, chair of the Scripps Research Department of Immunology and Microbiology. According to Farrar's memoir, Holmes was at that time 80% sure the virus came from a lab, while Andersen estimated the risk of it being from a lab leak at 60% to 70%. Two hours after Andersen gave him the bad news, shortly past midnight, Fauci emailed NIAID principal deputy director Hugh Auchincloss, telling him "It is essential that we speak this AM. Keep your cell phone on." He also instructed Auchincloss to read an attached scientific paper, thought to be the 2015 Nature paper "A SARS-Like Cluster of Circulating Bat Coronaviruses Shows Potential for Human Emergence," which the NIH had funded through an EcoHealth Alliance grant, and told him he "will have tasks today that must be done." That paper, co-led by WIV director Zhengli Shi, described how they'd spliced the spike protein of one coronavirus into a SARS-CoV backbone. Importantly, the authors noted that additional experimentation "may be too risky to pursue." Cover-Up Timeline: February 2020 Shortly before noon February 1, 2020, then-director of the NIH, Dr. Francis Collins, emailed a preprint study authored by Shi to Fauci, describing several coronaviruses, including one called RaTG13. Collins added that there's "No evidence this work was supported by NIH." At 2 p.m., Fauci and Collins both joined a confidential teleconference organized by Farrar. Other attendees included Andersen, Holmes, Garry, University of Edinburg virologist Andrew Rambaut, Erasmus MC virologist Ron Fouchier, Erasmus MC department of viroscience director Marion Koopmans, Institute of Virology at Charite Hospital director Christian Drosten, German Primate Center virologist Stefan Pohlman, Wellcome deputy chair Mike Ferguson, Wellcome chief operating officer Paul Schreier, and chief scientific adviser to the U.K., Patrick Vallance. Redfield was not invited, despite his earlier discussions with Fauci and Farrar. Later that evening, someone in the group (name redacted) emailed the group (although only Farrar and Vallance's names are unredacted) asking, "We need to talk about the backbone too, not just the insert?" That question is important, as scientists on this call ended up writing a paper dismissing the lab leak theory as pure bunk. The next day, the virologists exchanged thoughts. At that time, several were leaning toward it being a manufactured virus. Garry stressed he couldn't understand how SARS-CoV-2 could have emerged naturally, and Farzan was "bothered by the furin site" and could not explain the presence of it "as an event outside the lab." In an email, Farzan suggested the unique features in SARS-CoV-2 might best be explained by "continued passage of virus in tissue culture ... accidentally creating a virus that would be primed for rapid transmission between humans via gain of furin site (from tissue culture) and adaption to human ACE2 receptor via repeated passage." Talking About a Lab Leak Would 'Harm Science in General' Fouchier, who in 2011 alarmed the world by modifying the deadly avian flu (H5N1) to make it spread between ferrets,6 warned the group that continuing this debate "would unnecessarily distract top researchers from their active duties and do unnecessary harm to science in general." Within a couple of hours, Collins had jumped on Fouchier's bandwagon. He emailed Fauci, Farrar and NIH official Lawrence Tabak, stating he was "quickly coming around to the view that a natural origin is more likely," and that a "swift convening of experts in a confidence inspiring framework" was needed to quell "voices of conspiracy" that could do "great potential harm to science and international harmony." Within the hour, Farrar forwarded an article by ZeroHedge to Fauci, Collins and Tabak, which discussed HIV insertions found in SARS-CoV-2. Approximately 2.5 hours after that, Twitter suspended ZeroHedge. While not included in USRTK's timeline, investigative journalist Ashley Rindsberg in May 2022 reported on a curious coincidence that took place February 2, 2020.7 Evergrande, one of the largest real estate companies in the world, which has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and is in serious financial trouble, donated $115 million to Harvard Medical School. Harvard dean George Daley emailed Fauci that morning, informing him of the meeting with Evergrande's CEO Jack Zia and its chief health officer Dr. Jack Liu. For unknown reasons, Daley asked Fauci to share information "on your current efforts to coordinate a response." Fauci and Collins phoned Daley and the Evergrande officials the next day. Just two days after that, February 4, Farrar circulated a rough draft of what was to become "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2,"8 which completely denied any possibility of a lab leak. Did Evergrande's donation to Harvard have anything to do with Harvard scientists suddenly changing their views on the lab leak theory?9 According to USRTK, "Holmes had emailed Farrar the summary, noting that 'It's fundamental science and completely neutral as written. Did not mention other anomalies as this will make us look like loons.'" Farrar at that point stated he was 50/50 on the lab leak theory, while Holmes was 60/40 in favor of a lab leak. Andersen, meanwhile, at this point changed his tune and encouraged the scientists to claim the virus was "consistent with natural evolution," which is the complete opposite of his view just a few days earlier, when he told Fauci the genome was "inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory." At the same time that all of this was going on, members of the group were pressuring the WHO to convene a group to investigate the virus's origin. As we now know, that group was biased beyond belief and its conclusions so absurd that the world rejected it wholesale, forcing Ghebreyesus to backpedal and promise to launch a new investigation. February 11, Ian Lipkin, a virologist and professor of epidemiology at Columbia University and a coauthor of "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2," sent an email to his coauthors — Andersen, Rambaut, Holmes and Garry — stating the argument against genetic engineering was "well reasoned," but that it "does not eliminate the possibility of inadvertent release following adaptation through selection in culture" at the WIV. He continued, "Given the scale of the bat CoV research pursued there and the site of emergence of the first human cases, we have a nightmare of circumstantial evidence to assess." Cover-Up Timeline: March 2020 In a March 6, 2022, email, Andersen thanked Farrar, Fauci and Collins for their "advice and leadership" on the "Proximal Origin" paper. "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2"10 was published in the journal Nature Medicine in mid-March. As intended, it received massive media coverage, with headlines like, "The Coronavirus Did Not Escape from a Lab: Here's How We Know," "Once and for All, the New Coronavirus Was Not Made in a Lab," and "Sorry, Conspiracy Theorists. Study Concludes COVID-19 Is Not a Laboratory Construct." March 26, Collins even highlighted the paper on the NIH blog — but didn't say a word about his own involvement. Cover-Up Timeline: April and May 2020 Alas, despite best efforts, and with all of mainstream media helping push the false narrative, "conspiracy theories" about the virus being a lab-created bioweapon just would not stop — a fact that probably kept Fauci and Collins awake many a night. In an April 16, 2020, email to Fauci titled "conspiracy gains momentum," Collins asked, "Wondering if there is something NIH can do to help put down this very destructive conspiracy, with what seems to be growing momentum ... I hoped the Nature Medicine article on the genomic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 would settle this ..." Fauci replied, "I would not do anything about this right now. It is a shiny object that will go away in times [sic]." Hours later, Fauci did a White House press conference in which he cited the "Proximal Origin" paper he helped conceive, telling reporters the virus arose naturally, and is "totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human." That same day, April 16, Holmes and a Chinese researcher also published "A Genomic Perspective on the Origin and Emergence of SARS-CoV-2,"11 in which they argue that RaTG13 could not have been used to create SARS-CoV-2 because RaTG13 was sampled from the Yunnan Province while COVID-19 appeared in Wuhan. Furthermore, it would take 20 to 50 years for RaTG13 to mutate into SARS-CoV-2. May 5, 2020, Lipkin emailed Chen Zhu, China's former minister of health, expressing deep appreciation for "your efforts in steering and messaging" around COVID-19's origin. Cover-Up Timeline: July and August 2020 Fast-forward to July, and the authors of "Proximal Origin" had a new problem. An anonymous whistleblower contacted Science journalist Jon Cohen, sharing "the bizarre back-story" of the "Proximal Origin" paper. Cohen, in turn, forwarded the message to Holmes and Andersen who, within three hours, conferred with Fauci and Farrar on how to respond. According to USRTK, Cohen has not released the email he received from the tipster, nor Holmes' response. Cohen also never used it for an article. By August 19, 2020, Fauci and Collins were again conferring about how to address critical news articles. One postulated the virus was created in a lab. The other two discussed NIAID grants to EcoHealth Alliance. Despite questions being raised about the connections between the NIH, EcoHealth and the WIV, the NIAID extended a new grant to EcoHealth and Andersen's lab just eight days later. Cover-Up Timeline: 2021 Efforts to keep a lid on the lab leak theory didn't fare any better in 2021. At the end of March 2021, the WHO released its COVID origin report, which dismissed the lab leak theory, but backlash forced Ghebreyesus to stress that the investigation was incomplete and would continue. June 1, emails received by BuzzFeed following a FOIA lawsuit revealed Andersen and other authors of the "Proximal Origin" paper had initially leaned toward it being a lab leak, and that Fauci and Collins had participated in and probably steered its conception. Andersen denied the NIH had anything to do with the article and started deleting tweets amid the backlash. In June, questions also arose about why the NIH deleted early SARS-CoV-2 genomic data from its public database. The deletion of the data was reported by evolutionary biologist Jesse Bloom on the preprint server BioRxiv. According to Bloom, Collins, Fauci, Andersen and Garry encouraged him to delete the preprint, which he refused to do.12 Cover-Up Timeline: 2022 In 2022, the cover-up started to unravel. BuzzFeed's FOIA documents "starkly showed concerns among the authors [of the Proximal Origin paper] about unusual features of the genome," USRTK writes. Garry, like Andersen before him, did what he could to protect Fauci and Collins, insisting they had nothing to do with the writing of that paper. July 1, 2022, Lipkin, one of the "Proximal Origin" coauthors, was suddenly found to have once been a partner of EcoHealth Alliance, which was not reported in the paper's conflict of interest section. "The potential for conspiracy is really on the other side. The conspiracy is Collins, Fauci, and the established scientific community that has acted in an antithetical way to science." ~ Former CDC director Robert Redfield By the end of the month, new entries in an NIH genomic database revealed Holmes too has had an ongoing relationship with the WIV, including collaborative work on RaTG13, and Holmes, like Lipkin, did not disclose this in his "Proximal Origin" conflicts of interest statement. Classified Information May Reveal Lab Accident In a recent interview with investigative journalist Paul Thacker,13 former CDC director Redfield discussed "inside battles with Fauci" and claimed classified information "will point to a lab accident in Wuhan." Thacker writes: "'Tony and I are friends, but we don't agree on this at all,' Redfield told me. 'The potential for conspiracy is really on the other side. The conspiracy is Collins, Fauci, and the established scientific community that has acted in an antithetical way to science.' Speaking with me from his home in Baltimore, Redfield said that evidence in favor of a lab accident in China continues to accumulate and he expects more classified information to become public." In related news, September 15, 2022, The Lancet Commission also published its long-awaited report on the origin of SARS-CoV-2, and it's not what Fauci and his cronies were hoping for. On the contrary, the report outlines "the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic may have originated with a pathogen leaked from a lab ..." The Independent reports.14 The report stresses that while it could have come from a natural spillover, it could just as easily be the result of a lab leak. Commission chairman Jeffrey Sachs has been outspoken about his suspicions that the virus emerged from a U.S.-backed research program in China. At the same time, continued in-depth investigation continues to be hampered by misplaced allegiance to the CCP. As reported by Matt Ridley in The Telegraph:15 "The Lancet Commission ... has concluded that 'the origin of the virus remains unknown' and that 'both natural and laboratory spillovers are in play and need further investigation.' This conclusion matters because there has been an attempt to shut down all curiosity about the origin of the pandemic ... The Sachs Commission points out that a great many related viruses were collected from bats and engineered by a laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in collaboration with US partners in the years leading up to the outbreak. That simple fact puts the Wuhan lab under suspicion. Further, SARS-CoV-2 contains a dangerous feature called a furin cleavage site in its spike gene that is found in no other virus of this kind (the sarbecoviruses). Many scientists admitted early in the pandemic to being baffled as to how it could have acquired this feature naturally yet with minimal other mutations in its spike gene. Last year a document surfaced showing that scientists in Wuhan and elsewhere were in 2018 considering inserting exactly such a furin cleavage site into newly discovered sarbecoviruses to test their virulence in human cells ... The point Sachs's team is making is that the technology used in Wuhan to create 'chimeric' (hybrid) sarbecoviruses and insert material into their genomes originated in the University of North Carolina with other coronaviruses, and it would be nice ... if US researchers who collaborated with Wuhan were more forthcoming about what they know. The Sachs Commission makes the crucial point that 'no independent, transparent, and science-based investigation has been carried out regarding the bioengineering of Sars-like viruses that was underway before the outbreak of Covid-19' ... Pause to notice how shocking this is. Around 20 million are dead because of a virus new to the human species. A strong possibility is that it originated in laboratory research that was going on in the city where it started. Yet the notebooks and databases from that lab have never been made available, and many scientists and politicians are not even prepared to criticize the Chinese government over this lack of cooperation. The reason that prominent western scientists gave in private emails in 2020 for not wanting to discuss a possible lab origin of the virus was that it might do harm to 'international harmony.'
