It is noteworthy that Peter Daszak \u2013 unlike Fauci \u2013 was not pardoned by former President Joe Biden and the infamous autopen.<\/p>\n<p>The NDAA text \u2013 specifically Section 6803 \u2013 calls on National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, along with the heads of all 18 US intelligence agencies, to \u201c<em>review the declassification of intelligence<\/em>\u201d related to \u201c<em>the origins of coronavirus disease 2019<\/em>\u201d and related to \u201c<em>efforts by government officials of the People&#8217;s Republic of China<\/em>\u201d to cover up the origins of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>DNI Gabbard continues to advocate for the release of covid-19 information and looks forward to continuing to work with Congress to share the truth about the failures during the pandemic with the American people<\/em>\u201d, a DNI spokesperson told <em>Just the News<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that while the government put us under lockdown, Dr. Anthony Fauci and the people around him actively invented a \u201c<em>wet market<\/em>\u201d narrative, which was intended to obscure US research as a possible origin \u2013 although his own advisors had initially insisted that covid-19 appeared to be man-made.<\/p>\n<p>Among others, the NIH helped fund experiments at WIV that infected genetically modified mice with \u201e<em>chimeric<\/em>\u201d hybrids of SARS-related bat coronaviruses, which some scientists have called unacceptably risky research.<\/p>\n<p>Andersen made this clear in an email to Fauci. \u201c<em>The unusual features of the virus make up only a very small part of the genome (&lt;0.1%), so you have to look very closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (possibly) appear manipulated<\/em>\u201d, Andersen wrote in the email, according to <em>The Intercept<\/em>. \u201c<em>I should mention<\/em>\u201d, he added, \u201c<em>that after today&#8217;s conversations, Eddie, Bob, Mike and I have all concluded that the genome does not match the expectations of evolutionary theory.

Collaboration with Ralph Baric of UNC, who developed \u201chumanized mice\u201d for scientists in Wuhan to infect them, influenced later debates about functional gains, but predated SARS-CoV-2.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_219311\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-219311\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-219311\" src=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/cov2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/cov2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/cov2-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-219311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shi and Daszak toasting after countless humanized mice died a horrific Covid death.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In short, it looks like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The US government has outsourced risky gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses to Wuhan, China.<\/li>\n<li>The WIV had poor laboratory safety.<\/li>\n<li>American researchers collaborated with WIV scientists to develop chimeric (genetically modified) bat coronaviruses, likely including covid-19.<\/li>\n<li>The virus escaped just in time to trigger a global pandemic that undid Trump&#8217;s economic momentum and led to a mail-in ballot during the \u201c<em>fraud-free<\/em>\u201d 2020 election, in which Joe Biden received more votes than any other president in US history.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During Gabbard&#8217;s Senate confirmation hearing in January, she said many senators had expressed \u201c<em>bipartisan frustration with recent intelligence failures and a lack of response to your requests for information<\/em>\u201d, including in connection with \u201c<em>failures to identify the source of covid.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a result, in April, she founded the Director&#8217;s Initiatives Group (DIG), which aims to \u201c<em>investigate instrumentalization, eradicate deep-rooted politicization, uncover unauthorized disclosures of classified information, and declassify information in the public interest.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An ODNI official told <em>Just the News<\/em> that Gabbard and her team are working hard to address intelligence failures related to covid-19 to investigate, including the possible suppression of the laboratory leak hypothesis within the intelligence community and a comprehensive review of US-funded gain-of-function research.<\/p>\n<p>The official also said that the ODNI is coordinating with other intelligence agencies such as the FBI and the Department of Energy to share details of the covid-19 investigations.<\/p>\n<p>The ODNI official added that Gabbard&#8217;s office had provided Congress with the requested documents on the origins of covid, including records that had been unlawfully withheld by the Biden administration.
