Alarming new evidence has emerged to reveal that a top virologist working in Dr. Anthony Fauci’s U.S. biolab engineered COVID-19 to spread more effectively among humans.
Working under Fauci, virologist Ralph Baric reportedly engineered the virus as part of the 2018 DEFUSE project.
The project was designed to modify coronaviruses to study their transmission risks.
The DEFUSE project was first revealed through leaked documents obtained by U.S. Right to Know (USRTK).
Secret documents on the project were leaked by Major Joseph Murphy, an employee of the US military research agency DARPA, in the summer of 2021
In DEFUSE, Baric proposed to create a virus that was, to most intents and purposes, COVID-19.
The proposal included inserting a furin cleavage site into a coronavirus spike protein.
Furin cleavage technology allows the virus to cross the blood-brain barrier and infect humans more effectively.
Covid mRNA “vaccines” also contained spike protein furin cleavage, suggesting a broader depopulation agenda tied to globalist elites.
The DEFUSE proposal also included an order for the restrictive enzyme BsmBI, the search for a binding domain that would infect ACE2 human receptors, and a requirement for a viral genome around 25% different to SARS.
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, contains a furin cleavage site in its spike protein.
Its genome includes the restrictive enzyme BsmBI and it has a receptor binding domain finely tuned to infect the ACE2 human receptor and its genome is around 25% different to SARS.
Several virologists have said that such features make SARS-CoV-2 a smoking gun for an engineered virus.
Baric obtained a patent for such novel viruses in 2018, just as he was putting DEFUSE together.
In DEFUSE, Baric proposed to infect wild Chinese bats with his newly patented viruses.
American researcher Jim Haslam has documented all the evidence in his Substack article, titled “Reverse engineering the origins of SARS-CoV-2.”
Haslam has exposed all the toings and froings among the virology community in connection with the creation of this peculiar virus and the subsequent cover-up.
Key aspects of the project included inserting a furin cleavage site into a SARS-like virus, optimizing it to bind to human ACE2 receptors, and ensuring its genome was about 25% different from SARS—features that closely match SARS-CoV-2.
The winning 2018 DARPA bid was for a project called PREEMPT.
PREEMPT was led by Dr. Vincent Munster, who was based at Fauci’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) Rocky Mountain Lab.
Both PREEMPT and Baric’s losing DEFUSE project had the same basic idea: to try to prevent a (hypothetical) future pandemic by using an engineered SARS virus to vaccinate the bats from which it is believed such a virus was likely to spill over.
DEFUSE involved spraying bat caves with a non-transmissible virus “vaccine.”
PREEMPT, meanwhile, proposed a self-spreading “vaccine” that was engineered to transmit between bats via aerosols, increasing the risk of accidental human exposure.
After DEFUSE was rejected, Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded an $82 million grant (CREID) in 2019.
This resulted in the merging of Baric’s and Munster’s teams to develop Munster’s transmissible virus-vaccine concept.
Evidence suggests that Munster’s lab modified Baric’s virus to make it transmissible, given that SARS-CoV-2 efficiently infects animals found in Munster’s Montana lab (e.g., American deer, deer mice, and Egyptian fruit bats) but not those in Chinese labs.
The virus may have been sent to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) for testing on Chinese bats by Dr. Danielle Anderson, a Duke-NUS researcher who worked in the WIV’s BSL-4 lab.
The WIV may have accidentally released the virus during experiments, supported by a lab shutdown in October 2019.
This version of events also aligns with previous whistleblower claims that the virus was engineered in a lab.
As Slay News previously reported, a leading scientist from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology blew the whistle by claiming that the U.S. taxpayer-funded Chinese lab “engineered” COVID-19 as a “bioweapon” to reduce the population of humans around the world.
Wuhan bioweapons scientist Chao Shan made the explosive claim during an interview with Asian News International (ANI) reporter Jennifer Zeng.
Zeng described Shan’s claims as “shocking” and “astonishing” while detailing his “explosive admission.”
Shan said he and his colleagues at the Wuhan lab were tasked with identifying the most effective strain for spreading among various species, including humans.
He says he was given four strains of coronavirus by his superior in Nanjing City in 2019 to test which one of them was the most virulent and transmissible.
Shan tested the virus on human ACE2 receptors, bats, and monkeys.
He reveals that the researchers at the Wuhan lab were under orders to develop the coronavirus a “bioweapon” to kill humans.
Shan also mentioned in the interview that several of his colleagues went missing during the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan.
Later, one of them revealed that they were sent to hotels where athletes from various countries were staying to “check the health or hygiene conditions.”
Since checking hygiene doesn’t require virologists, Shan suspected that they were sent there to spread the virus.
Zeng has posted a video where she describes what Shan told her.
WATCH:
Fauci, former President Joe Biden’s one-time chief medical advisor, has desperately worked to change the lab leak narrative because he was involved in conducting dangerous coronavirus research in biolabs.
After Covid first emerged, top scientists from around the world contacted Fauci to warn that their own research indicated that the virus had come from a lab, as Slay News reported.
However, they all publicly U-turned on their theories after speaking with Fauci and receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants from the then-director of the NIAID.
