Q Research General #11684: Drop Mic Moment "Obamagate" Edition
EXCLUSIVE: 60 Minutes' Trump Critic Doctor Donated to Hillary Clinton 13 Times in TWO MONTHS
Dr. Peter Daszak, the researcher who appeared on 60 Minutes to criticize the Trump administration's decision to withdraw millions of taxpayer dollars funding his joint research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, donated to the Hillary Clinton campaign 13 times in 2016. While the segment hammers the Trump administration for letting "pandemic politics" influence its coronavirus response, 60 Minutes is guilty of its own charge: citing political affiliation only when it bolsters their anti-Trump smear campaign but ignoring it if it would force viewers to think twice about Dr. Daszak's underlying motives. The infectious disease researcher and president of EcoHealth Alliance - the organization that received the $3.7 million grant in question - directed numerous donations towards the Hillary For America PAC, Clinton's official campaign political action committee (PAC), totaling over $850. And of course, this narrative-crashing background information appeared nowhere in 60 Minutes' spectacle.
Yet they were sure to tee up Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz - the alleged peddler of misinformation that got the grant rescinded - as a bona fide Trump ally: "Gaetz is a vigorous defender of the president. He's been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly threatening a witness against Mr. Trump, and he led a protest to delay impeachment testimony." The show likened the administration's decision to cut the grant to a "political disinformation campaign targeting China's Wuhan Institute," a probable origin of the virus. Critics including President Trump, however, have equated the segment to a cover up of the CCP's botched virus response, silencing doctors who alerted co-workers about the growing pandemic and purposely withholding information from authorities and the world about its extent and transmission pathways.
And this criticism is warranted: 60 Minutes, airing on the mainstream media outlet CBS, is a fount for left-wing talking points. They've cast Nancy Pelosi as a 'Giant Slayer' and 'Patron Saint of Shade,' fretted over Justice Kavanaugh's "temperament" questioning if he "belonged on the Supreme Court," and asked hardened President Trump disparager John McCain if he "worried that [President Trump] is not fit for the office?" And this is just their latest politically-motivated hit piece, letting China off the hook for spawning and spreading the virus while bolstering the CCP's narrative that the US is impairing the world's response.

Q Research General #11668: #OBAMAGATE PASSES 1 MILLION TWEETS - #KENYA TRENDING NOW Edition
"Oct. 25, 2019
In a move that worries many public health experts, the federal government is quietly shutting down a surveillance program for dangerous animal viruses that someday may infect humans.
The United Nations Environment Program estimates that a new animal disease that can also infect humans is discovered every four months. Ending the program, experts fear, will leave the world more vulnerable to lethal pathogens like Ebola and MERS that emerge from unexpected places, such as bat-filled trees, gorilla carcasses and camel barns.
The program, known as Predict and run by the United States Agency for International Development, was inspired by the 2005 H5N1 bird flu scare. Launched 10 years ago, the project has cost about $207 million.
The initiative has collected over 140,000 biological samples from animals and found over 1,000 new viruses, including a new strain of Ebola. Predict also trained about 5,000 people in 30 African and Asian countries, and has built or strengthened 60 medical research laboratories, mostly in poor countries.
Dennis Carroll, the former director of USAID's emerging threats division who helped design Predict, oversaw it for a decade and retired when it was shut down. The surveillance project is closing because of "the ascension of risk-averse bureaucrats," he said.
Because USAID's chief mission is economic aid, he added, some federal officials felt uncomfortable funding cutting-edge science like tracking exotic pathogens.
Congress, along with the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, were "enormously supportive," said Dr. Carroll, who is now a fellow at Texas A&M's Bush School of Government and Public Service.
"But things got complicated in the last two years, and by January, Predict was essentially collapsed into hibernation."
The end of the program "is definitely a loss," said Peter Daszak, president of the EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit global health organization that received funding from the program. "Predict was an approach to heading off pandemics, instead of sitting there waiting for them to emerge and then mobilizing. That's expensive."
"The United States spent $5 billion fighting Ebola in West Africa," he added. "This costs far less."

, in 2004. Researchers isolated the lethal SARS virus in civet cats, suggesting that they were infecting humans.
The goal of Predict was to speed up and organize the previously haphazard hunt for zoonotic diseases - those that may jump from animals to humans. In recent years, scientists have discovered many lethal viruses lurking in wild and domestic animals.
It has long been known, of course, that AIDS originated in chimpanzees and probably was first contracted by bushmeat hunters. Ebola circulates in bats and apes, while SARS was found in captive civet cats in China.
In South Asia, Nipah virus reaches humans through pigs or date palm sap infected by bats carrying the virus. In Saudi Arabia, MERS also is carried by bats; they infect camels, which then infect humans. The virus can jump from human to human, especially in hospitals.
Novel influenza viruses originate in migratory ducks and geese. The viruses spread first to domestic poultry flocks, then to pigs and humans. Mutations picked up along that viral highway can render the viruses far more dangerous.
These discoveries led to new ways of preventing spillovers of infections into human populations: closing markets where wildlife is butchered for food,; putting bamboo skirts on sap-collection jars to keep bats out; or penning pigs and camels in places where they cannot eat fruit that bats have gnawed.
Predict teams have investigated mysterious disease outbreaks in many countries, including a die-off of 3,000 wild birds in a Mongolian lake. One team proved that endangered otters in a Cambodian zoo were killed by their feed - raw chickens infected with bird flu.
A Predict laboratory helped identify bat-borne viruses that a boys' soccer team might have been exposed to while trapped for weeks in a cave in Thailand".

2015: "Lab-Made Coronavirus Triggers Debate"
The creation of a chimeric SARS-like virus has scientists discussing the risks of gain-of-function research.
Ralph Baric, an infectious-disease researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, last week (November 9) published a study on his team's efforts to engineer a virus with the surface protein of the SHC014 coronavirus, found in horseshoe bats in China, and the backbone of to one that causes human-like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in mice. The hybrid virus could infect human airway cells and caused disease in mice, according to the team's results, which were published in Nature Medicine.
The results demonstrate the ability of the SHC014 surface protein to bind and infect human cells, validating concerns that this virus-or other coronaviruses found in bat species-may be capable of making the leap to people without first evolving in an intermediate host, Nature reported. They also reignite a debate about whether that information justifies the risk of such work, known as gain-of-function research. "If the [new] virus escaped, nobody could predict the trajectory," Simon Wain-Hobson, a virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, told Nature.
In October 2013, the US government put a stop to all federal funding for gain-of-function studies, with particular concern rising about influenza, SARS, and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). "NIH [National Institutes of Health] has funded such studies because they help define the fundamental nature of human-pathogen interactions, enable the assessment of the pandemic potential of emerging infectious agents, and inform public health and preparedness efforts," NIH Director Francis Collins said in a statement at the time. "These studies, however, also entail biosafety and biosecurity risks, which need to be understood better."
Baric's study on the SHC014-chimeric coronavirus began before the moratorium was announced, and the NIH allowed it to proceed during a review process, which eventually led to the conclusion that the work did not fall under the new restrictions, Baric told Nature. But some researchers, like Wain-Hobson, disagree with that decision.
The debate comes down to how informative the results are. "The only impact of this work is the creation, in a lab, of a new, non-natural risk," Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist and biodefence expert at Rutgers University, told Nature.
But Baric and others argued the study's importance. "[The results] move this virus from a candidate emerging pathogen to a clear and present danger," Peter Daszak, president of the EcoHealth Alliance, which samples viruses from animals and people in emerging-diseases hotspots across the globe, told Nature.
