A facility in Montana, led by renowned American immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci, was purportedly experimenting with coronaviruses delivered from a lab in Wuhan, China, which is suspected to be the origin of the Covid pandemic. The disclosure came after the resurfacing of a research paper published in the journal Viruses in 2018 that exposed the existence and nature of experiments undertaken there.
In 2018, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) allegedly infected 12 Egyptian fruit bats with a ‘SARS-like’ virus known as WIV1 at a lab in Montana. The discovery clearly connects the US government with the Wuhan Lab, as well as the sponsorship of deadly viral research around the world. In 2018, the study titled SARS-Like Coronavirus WIV1-CoV Does Not Replicate in Egyptian Fruit Bats was published in the journal Viruses. The report was flagged by DRASTIC, an online activist group investigating the roots of the COVID-19 epidemic under the banner of the White Coat Waste Project.
The WIV1-coronavirus did not create a “robust infection,” according to the researchers, who also found “very limited evidence of virus replication”
The experiment was conducted in 2018 at the NIH’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana. Dr. Anthony Fauci oversaw the lab. The study was a collaboration between the NIH’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories and University of North Carolina partner Ralph Baric of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Scientists injected 12 Egyptian fruit bats from a zoo with the WIV1-coronavirus, a coronavirus first discovered in Chinese rufous horseshoe bats. The WIV1-coronavirus did not create a “robust infection,” according to the researchers, who also found “very limited evidence of virus replication. (Tramadol) ”
The Catocin Wildlife Preserve, which provided the bats, has a history of animal rights violations. It is only 15 minutes away from Camp David, the President of the United States’ 125-acre country hideaway. According to records obtained by the Daily Mail, the preserve had 523 federally regulated creatures as of April 2023, including 241 bats, 41 of which were Egyptian fruit bats. The majority of gain-of-function virus research is done in the United States. Such research entails making diseases more virulent in order to keep scientists ahead of future epidemics. However, such a study has been criticized by specialists since the risks of a viral leak outweigh any potential benefits.
