"The Daszak files he hid from Congress," examines evidence suggesting that a rejected 2018 DARPA Defuse grant proposal concerning bat coronaviruses was subsequently broken up and funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci's NIAID under two separate grants, despite testimony to the contrary from figures like Fauci and Peter Daszak. The article details how Daszak and Dr. Ralph Baric of UNC repurposed elements of the Defuse proposal, which included plans for engineering a furin cleavage site and working with viruses resembling SARS-CoV-2 (dubbed HKU3-Smix or HKU3r-CoV), into the NIAID grant applications. Furthermore, the source reviews hidden EcoHealth files accessed by the DRASTIC investigative group, which allegedly revealed internal communications showing coordination among Daszak, Baric, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology's (WIV) Shi Zhengli to bypass Gain-of-Function (GoF) concerns and advance risky coronavirus research, including the transfer of bat samples like RaTG13. This evidence implies that the Defuse research, deemed too ambitious and expensive by DARPA, was effectively financed by NIAID through these recycled proposals, making the creation of a SARS-CoV-2-like virus "molecularly possible."
