Documents obtained by U.S. Right to Know showing U.S. scientists were planning to work with scientists from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology to develop novel coronaviruses may “explain why no one has been able to find the SARS2 virus (aka SARS-CoV-2) infesting a colony of bats,” according to Nicholas Wade, former science editor for The New York Times.

A trove of documents released last week by U.S. Right to Know (USRTK) may “explain why no one has been able to find the SARS2 virus (aka SARS-CoV-2) infesting a colony of bats,” according to one prominent science reporter.
Writing for City Journal, Nicholas Wade, former science editor for The New York Times, said the newly revealed documents — which showed U.S. scientists were planning to work with scientists from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) to develop novel coronaviruses, provide evidence that COVID-19 “has never existed in the natural world.”
The USRTK documents revealed that scientists involved with a joint U.S.-China research proposal — “Project DEFUSE” — a year before the outbreak of COVID-19, planned to engineer coronaviruses that would be rare in nature, and that had many similarities with the genome of SARS-CoV-2.

Meanwhile, an investigation by Public published Tuesday revealed the FBI received credible intelligence in March 2020 that COVID-19 had leaked from the WIV — long before the FBI or U.S. government acknowledged a possible lab leak.
And blogger Jim Haslam, who has written extensively on COVID-19’s origin, reported this week that University of North Carolina researcher Ralph Baric, Ph.D., who has worked with Peter Daszak, Ph.D., president of the EcoHealth Alliance, patented genomes “less than 2% different” than SARS-CoV-2, in 2018.
Daszak and Baric were both closely involved with Project DEFUSE.
Commenting on the new developments, Rutgers University molecular biologist Richard Ebright, Ph.D., a frequent critic of gain-of-function research, told The Defender:
“Two or three dozen corrupt scientists, most in one narrow subfield of science, have damaged, possibly irreparably, public trust in the many tens of thousands of scientists across all fields of science.
“Science, as a whole, needs to excise and eliminate the tumor, expelling the two-to-three dozen who caused the pandemic and defrauded the public.”
