Fauci needs to be dragged into a witness chair,

told "This is the penalty for lying under oath.  Do you understand this?  You'd better.  Now, first question."
New documents show that just 18 months before the first Covid-19 cases appeared, researchers had submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles and aerosols containing “novel chimeric spike proteins” of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China.

They also planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to fund the work.
Papers, confirmed as genuine by a former member of the Trump administration, show they were hoping to introduce “human-specific cleavage sites” to bat coronaviruses which would make it easier for the virus to enter human cells.

When Covid-19 was first genetically sequenced, scientists were puzzled about how the virus had evolved such a human-specific adaptation at the cleavage site on the spike protein, which is the reason it is so infectious.

The documents were released by Drastic, the web-based investigations team set up by scientists from across the world to look into the origins of Covid-19.

The proposal also included plans to mix high-risk natural coronavirus strains with more infectious but less dangerous varieties.

The bid was submitted by British zoologist Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, the US-based organisation, which has worked closely with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researching bat coronaviruses.

Team members included Dr Shi Zhengli, the WIV researcher dubbed “bat woman”, pictured below, as well as US researchers from the University of North Carolina and the United States Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Centre.

The supposed 'defense' of this?
Wuhan and US scientists were planning to release enhanced airborne coronavirus particles into Chinese bat populations to inoculate them against diseases that could jump to humans, leaked grant proposals dating from 2018 show.
Not being a Biological Expert, I'm wondering how planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and show they were hoping to introduce “human-specific cleavage sites” to bat coronaviruses which would make it easier for the virus to enter human cells has to do with 'innoculating bats against diseases that could jump to humans'

US idiots giving money to and working with the PRC on friggin' BIOLOGICAL WARFARE RESEARCH, with Fauci behind getting them money to do it by washing it through his friend Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance

If those idiots in DC had any brains, let alone any love of country and honor, Fauci would already be scheduled to testify and specifically warned "You lie, you're going to jail for that.  THEN any other penalties get added to that."
