Apr 18

After anthrax & other lab leaks. So Ralph Baric of UNC started coordinating with Wuhan. Shi Zhengli & Baric wrote papers on bats & gain of function together. You can read them if you search for them.

When Trump won - he reversed Obama’s ban on gain-of-function in US and it remains that way today. In 2019, Fort Detrick bio lab was closed for 3 months too - for severe safety violations. You can look it up - Military Times reported on it and local newspapers.

Everything is so weird - At one point Univ of Galveston bio lab trained some Wuhan scientists.

Scary thing - is there are hundreds of bio labs all over the world - some believed to be unknown. Wujan was doing their work in bio 2 labs when most agree that work should have been done in bio 4 labs ((more secure)
