April 2012 - Six miners, from a Mojiang Region mine in the Yunnan Province, fall ill from a bat virus. The virus is isolated from the mine by director Shi Zheng-Li’s team and is transported to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. It was originally named RaBtCoV/4991. The virus was later renamed RaTG13 and is the closest known relative to the Sars-CoV-2 virus. RaTG13 is the most lethal bat coronavirus known to man with a 50% kill rate. It is a 96.2 genetic match with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.186

April 26, 2012 - Fauci tells a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing that he is funding gain-of-function research that allows for airborne transmission, from human to human, of the modified virus that received gain-of-function.

May 2012 - Two of the miners from the Mojiang Mine die. The other four surviving miners had antibodies against a SARS like coronavirus. A third miner dies of the RaTG13 virus. This virus now has killed 50% of the humans that were exposed to it. This is the most lethal bat coronavirus that the Wuhan bioweapons found. It is the basis for the man-made SARS-CoV-2 virus that was unleashed on the world.

June 22, 2012 - NIAID financed a study that genetically modified an avian influenza virus to make it airborn from person to person. It was reported in the journal Science.

July 31, 2012 - Fauci defends gain-of-function research in a talk titled, “The Way Forward in Influenza research.”

2013 to 2020 - The US Department of Defense gives Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance $39 million over a period of eight years for his gain-of-function research.

Feb. 7, 2013 - The journal PLOS Pathogens published an article on “new forms of bat viruses” which was written by Tian who worked at the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention Bio-Safety Level 2 Lab (later located 900 feet from the Huanan Seafood Market, which reportedly housed 605 diseased bats). The Level 2 Lab should never be studying dangerous coronaviruses. Only a Level 4 Lab, with properly trained personnel should be working on deadly pathogens with the sole purpose of cure or prevention.

July 24, 2013 - Director Shi Zheng-Li identified the genome as the RaBtCov/4991 virus, (later renamed RaTG13 virus) which was collected from the Mojiang mine where the three miners died. This is a serious pathogen that killed 50% of the miners infected. This is also the closest related virus to SARS-CoV-2 virus that was released into the world.187
