Is Peter Daszak the key to unraveling the COVID source
[PJMedia] Peter Daszak, the president of the non-profit EcoHealth Alliance, is a key figure in trying to discover if the coronavirus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) or occurred naturally. He can also answer a lot of questions about the funding of the WIV and what exactly they were researching there.

Two Republican members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee contacted Daszak, asking him 18 specific questions about his role in the funding for the Wuhan lab. They gave him a deadline of May 18 to respond.

Daszak never got back to the congressmen.
Nor is he likely to 'get back' to them.
Since the Republican committee members do not have subpoena power, being in the minority for the moment, they have no way to compel Daszak to answer questions. But given that the questions are related to a pandemic that’s killed a couple of million people, you would think that the scientist would be eager to cooperate.
'Scientists' very likely would cooperate. Unfortunately, these people are not scientists.
Why he does not tell us says a lot about the funding trail for the Wuhan lab and Daszak’s continued, almost desperate, efforts to keep the truth of what was being researched at Wuhan from the rest of us.

#1 Of course Covid19 - which has half a dozen mutations that adapt it to infecting humans (and, incidentally, make it uncapable of infecting its original host) - is natural.

#2 NYP article excerpt:

Daszak told the scientists that they “should not sign this statement, so it has some distance from us and therefore doesn’t work in a counterproductive way,” Vanity Fair said, citing emails obtained by the group US Right to Know.

“We’ll then put it out in a way that doesn’t link it back to our collaboration so we maximize an independent voice,” Daszak reportedly added.

The nonprofit, which says it’s “dedicated to protecting wildlife and public health from the emergency of disease,” has received as much as $15 million a year in grant money from various federal agencies, Vanity Fair said.

EcoHealth has used those grants to fund controversial “gain-of-function” research — which can increase the infectiousness and virulence of viruses — at facilities that include the Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to Vanity Fair.

The WIV received about $600,0000 from a five-year, $3 million-plus grant that Vanity Fair said EcoHealth got from the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Classic nonprofit intelligence community money laundering project utilizing a concern for "wildlife" as a cover for action. Sorry folks, just a bit too foking obvious.

The only question remaining at this point is the intended goal.

Emphasis at paragraph two added.

#4 Intended goal? Global population reduction. See U.N. Agenda 21.

#5 /\ Hormonal contraception and Planned Parenthood have never really caught on internationally. Endless wars, urban crime and terrorism continue to do little to assist population control. The numbers simply aren't there.

Global pandemics really do appear to be the key.

#6 RedState - Why Was the US Department of Defense Funding Bioweapons Research at Wuhan?

Bottom line: The Pentagon was, through USAID, funding research of bioweapons as part of its responsibility to develop defenses to bioweapon attacks — anti-viral treatments and vaccines. To develop treatments and vaccines for bioweapons, you need to first develop such weapons.

EcoHealth Alliance took funding for research from that USAID, money that came from a Unted States Department of Defense bioweapons research agency, and spent it doing research on bioweapons with a state-run bioweapons lab in China.

Therefore, the United States military was (possibly unwittingly) funding bioweapons research at a military bioweapons lab in China. For years.

#10 Incidentally, the idea that there's finite variety of biological weapons is fascinating.

#11  Hormonal contraception and Planned Parenthood have never really caught on internationally.

Birth rates have dropped significantly almost everywhere across the world despite that. According to the CIA World Factbook, only Niger has a total fertility rate above 6 children/women, and less than half the world’s nations are above replacement. India is at 2.28, China claims 1.6, with a median age of 39 for females, while over fifty countries have an average age of 40 or above, and forty have shrinking populations.
