Dazak made the remarks in an interview with virologist Vincent Racaniello on Dec. 9, 2019. Dazak coordinated the survey and cataloging of bat coronaviruses across mainland China with Wuhan Institute of Virology researcher Zhengli Shi (known in the media as “Batwoman” due to her longstanding commitment to bat virus research) from 2014 to 2019; and since 2019, they have been working with University of North Carolina immunology professor Ralph S. Baric. Professor Ralph S. Baric to conduct laboratory-based gain-of-function (GoF) studies of humanized mouse coronaviruses and chimeras.
The researchers found that Sars disease (SARS) likely originated in bats and then began looking for more SARS-associated coronaviruses, eventually finding more than 100 coronaviruses, Dazak said. He observed that some coronaviruses can “enter human cells in the laboratory,” while others can cause SARS disease in “humanized mouse models.
Such coronaviruses “cannot be treated with therapeutic monoclonal ‘antibodies’, nor can they be prevented with vaccines. Ironically, he claimed that his team’s goal was to try to find a “spillover event” that could lead to the next pandemic, just weeks before the first case of the virus was announced in Wuhan.
Dazak also revealed that the goal of the gain-of-function experiment is to develop a pan-coronavirus vaccine against many different types of coronaviruses.
According to Dazak, it was clear that just before the pandemic began, the Wuhan Virus Institute was modifying coronaviruses in the laboratory, meaning that they could be easily manipulated and edited in the lab. He talked about the laboratory insertion of the stinger protein “into the backbone of another virus.
He also provided evidence of creating chimeras for vaccines, saying that he tried to insert genes from other related diseases (based on the SARS vaccine) and get a better vaccine.
According to Dazak, before the pandemic began, the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research was conducting gain-of-function experiments with chimeras in an attempt to create a vaccine. These experiments appear to have included infecting mice genetically modified to express the human ACE2 protein with these chimeras.
In a presentation entitled “Assessing the Coronavirus Threat” delivered four years before the 2015 neo-coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, Dazak noted that experiments involving humanized mice had the highest level of risk. To demonstrate his close ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research, he also listed the laboratory as a collaborator at the end of his talk.
According to NPR, the Ecological health Alliance, which Datsak leads, received $3.7 million in research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and funneled those funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research to fund research on bat coronaviruses.
According to the Daily Mail, more than a year after the outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Chinese Communist Party allowed a WHO panel of experts to investigate the source of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) and Dazak joined them, which was denounced by molecular biologist Richard Ebright of Rutgers University in New Jersey (USA). Ebright and other scientists.
Two members of the Autonomous Search Team (DRASTIC) investigating COVID-19, created a petition asking the international investigation team to answer 50 key questions about the new coronavirus. These include a request for access to the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research’s database and laboratory records, which should date back 20 years, including access to its security procedures, security audit reports and security incident reports.
