Bird flu is nothing to sneeze at, as the saying goes, and can, under circumstances be deadly to humans. It has a high mortality rate compared to other freak-out viruses such as the virus causing Covid-19, the communist Wuhan flu. So, why would the US government, put up $ 1 million, for US virologists, to work with communist Chinese scientists, to conduct gain-of-function research to make the family of bird flu viruses even more deadly? And the plot thickens, as one of the researchers collaborating on the project is Wenju Liu, who is affiliated with the Wuhan Institute of virology, where the Covid-19 plandemic started, or at least is suspected as being the lab that leaked the virus, by accident or deliberately.
The even bigger question is why would researchers want to make a dangerous disease even more deadly? And be sure just for good measure, that the gain-of-function research will be to make the virus better able to infect humans. They may say that they are getting a head start on natural evolution. But, as seen with the Covid-19 virus, the sites on the virus that made it better able to infect humans have a very low probability of rising by natural selection in nature. The program is thus, more sinister, and is probably another move in the depopulation agenda. Just image such deadly viruses in the sub-standard security labs, that gave us Covid? Lab leaks are inevitable.
"The US government is spending $1million of American taxpayer money to fund experiments on dangerous bird flu viruses in collaboration with Chinese scientists.
The research involves infecting ducks and geese with different strains of viruses to make them more infectious, and study the viruses' potential to 'jump into mammalian hosts,' according to research documents.
It is being funded through the US Department of Agriculture and collaborating studies will take place at sites in Georgia, Beijing and Edinburgh in Scotland.
It comes despite similar research being restricted in 2022 and growing concerns that dubious Chinese studies may have started the Covid pandemic.
The documents were obtained by the campaign group, The White Coat Waste Project, and shared with DailyMail.com.
The papers show funding for the avian virus research began in April 2021 and it is slated to continue through March 2026.
The USDA told this website the project was applied for in 2019 and approved in 2020.
The specific viruses the researchers will work with include H5NX, H7N9 and H9N2, WCW reported.
A 2023 study described H5NX viruses as 'highly pathogenic' with the ability to cause neurological complications in humans.
The H7N9 strain first infected humans and animals in China in March 2013 and the World Health Organization said it is of concern 'because most patients have become severely ill.'
The H9N2 strain has been found in dove in China and while it has a lower pathogenicity than the other strains, it can still infect humans.
The main collaborators on the project are USDA Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of Edinburgh's Roslin Institute - a Wuhan lab partner.
Additionally, one of the researchers collaborating on the project is Wenju Liu, who is affiliated with the WIV - which is believed to have sparked the Covid pandemic - and a member of the board of a scientific journal, working with Zheng-Li Shi, who is known as the 'bat lady' for her extensive work on bat coronaviruses.
Different aspects of the research are slated to take place in multiple locations, including poultry research centers in Athens, Georgia, at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh and at the Chinese academy in Beijing.
Allan Rodriguez, a spokesperson with the USDA, told DailyMail.com the $100million funding awarded to the research 'is only being committed to the specific components carried out by our own team located in Athens, Georgia, and is not any way contributing to research taking place in the UK or China.'"
