@soothspider @Cathie_Leavitt @Zardoz @entropyrider @BroDrillard @KingOfWhiteAmerica Circling back to where this started - the "PREEMPT" and "DIFFUSE" projects - a few points I never heard anyone address:

Why, if the goal was to "immunize bats," would one use a human-specific "gain of function" spike-protein for a live-virus vaccine FOR BATS? Why not a "bat" specific spike, which was easily available from the bat-viruses they had collected?

Why would they "humanize rats" to have human ACE2-Receptors, then create human-contagious man-made viruses for their experiments - instead of creating viruses having rat-specific receptor spike, which would NOT be contagious to people?

I can understand the use of "humanized" rats to test EXISTING human-contagious viruses and treatments for them - but not for testing man-made viruses.

The entire "mRNA-vaccine" idea COULD have been tested entirely on animals, using viruses WHICH WERE NOT contagious to people - until they achieved an efficacious product conferring sterilizing immunity - assuming that was possible. Yet, this was not done.

These look like smoking-guns to me - that the INTENT of the entire project was malicious / bio-warfare - but I am open to new information.
