Since 2014 and right up to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, articles were being published in various US scientific journals calling at..

In July 2019, as Ft. Detrick was in shutdown due to several serious biosafety breaches uncovered by the CDC, 2 assisted living facilities at an hour's drive from Ft. Detrick on the interstate linking it to Ralph Baric's university were hit by an unknown respiratory virus.

    I’d love to be able to answer that...

    Right now I’m working on reviewing all of this and will try to do a re-write because I’m not a fan of the author’s gloss

      I feel that this is important, but regardless of any actual links to the outbreak it is interesting that there has been absolutely 0 mention of this lab in the media.

      Particularly because

      1. there had been a lot of noise made of the Wuhan lab as studying the bat viruses (which doesn't even modify the viruses, as far as I can tell, let alone study human transmissible varieties)

      2. this lab is a scientific collaborator with the Wuhan lab and has been involved in research on the same viruses that are implicated in the Wuhan lab leak theory

      3. this lab purportedly researches vaccines - one would think that this would be something to be proud of as vaccine research across the globe has been talked about nonstop for 18 months.
