The Puna article for Mojiang (post #420) asks these questions:

Lethal Pneumonia Cases in Mojiang Miners (2012) and the Mineshaft Could Provide Important Clues to the Origin of SARS-CoV-2 - PubMed

With the COVID-19 pandemic reaching its worst heights, people are interested in the origin of SARS-CoV-2. This study started with two important questions: first, were there any similar atypical pneumonia outbreaks, even on a smaller level, reported between SARS in 2004 and COVID-19 in 2019/20 in...

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

1.)Why is this information not available in any of the seroprevalence studies by Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)?

2.) Why were the severe pneumonia cases in 2012 not mentioned in any of the WIV publications before 2020?

3.)Were any SARS-like CoVs isolated from the bat fecal samples collected in 2012-2013?

4.) Why were the Mojiang miners’ pneumonia cases in 2012 not reported to any public health agency like the WHO?

5.) Why did programs like PREDICT not mention the lethal pneumonia cases as a mini-outbreak?

6.) Was the mineshaft in Mojiang closed, when?

7.) According to the literature, three research groups went to the Mojiang mine to collect samples between 2012 and Oct 2014. The mine was promptly closed as per reference 2.)

8.) Why was the Mojiang mine being visited by researchers until Oct 2014?

Questions also remain as to why Dr. Shi attributed the outbreak to a fungus in the interview with Scientific American.

9.) Was the mine open for researchers and were any samples brought after 2014?

10.) Did any of the researchers who visited the Mojiang mineshaft get infected by any coronavirus between 2012 and 2019?

11.) Are there any whole genome sequences available for SARS-like CoVs originating from this mine?

12.) Why is the pathogen database (https://www.viruses.nsdc.cn/chinavpi/) associated with the project (2013FY113500) reference 10.) not accessible any more? ‘

Tiger By the Tail

We can now link the natural reservoir of a filovirus, though differing from ebola and Marburg, to a location not far from COVID-19’s closest relative found in the Mojiang Mine, Yunnan.

Mengla County, Yunnan, is the likely location of the last Indochinese tiger killed in the wild.

If tests were performed for the presence of ebola, why not test for Marburg as well?

Periperhal vasculitis badger conpares with hepatitis B virus, which may be the ancestor of HIV-1 and Hiv-2. We’ve already linked the TGEV coronavirus, which can subsist on metal surfaces for as long as 28 days, to the Blumberg Foubndation. Baruch S, Blumberg discovered the Australian antigen of hepatitis B virus. Intriguingly, we searched and found a glycocalyx link to bats and dogs which mentions a secretory mechanism. This will link to what we’ve already post for TRIM5 and the BACE of Alzheimer’s. Keep up the good work, LBT.

We searched ‘glycocalyx bat’ and retrieved only one reference:

None will be able to denigrate Lord Brown Trout for bringing up the glycocalyx. We mentioned the Dartmouth study for Niemann-Pick in post #401 of this thread.

As one chart suggests, earliest Eco Health Alliance was being funded was 2013. When we look to see if there are any D614G connections to ebola vaccine via vesicular stomatitis virus, we come upon a Dec 2013 study from the Mayo Clinic linking LDLR:

Characteristics of oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus displaying tumor-targeting ligands - PubMed

We sought proof of principle that tumor-targeting ligands can be displayed on the surface of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) by engineering its glycoprotein. Here, we successfully rescued VSVs displaying tumor vasculature-targeting ligands. By using a rational approach, we investigated various...

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

’....Since the low-density lipoprotein receptor was recently identified as a major receptor for VSV, we investigated the entry of ligand-displaying viruses after masking LDLR....the modified viruses can enter the cell independently of LDLR, whereas entry of unmodified virus is significantly blocked by a specific monoclonal antibody against LDLR.’

The ebola outbreak began on 26 Dec 2013. In Feb 2013, published was a University of California study linking the RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) motif to VSV:

Retargeting vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein pseudotyped lentiviral vectors with enhanced stability by in situ synthesized polymer shell - PubMed

The ability to introduce transgenes with precise specificity to the desired target cells or tissues is key to a more facile application of genetic therapy. Here, we describe a novel method using nanotechnology to generate lentiviral vectors with altered recognition of host cell receptor...

’....introducing acrylamide-tailored cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (cRGD) peptide to the polymer shell....stably integrating retroviral and lentiviral vectors are commonly utilized for gene delivery....pseudotyped VSV....’

In post #394, Uniprot shows the D614G mutation: ‘ 614 D—>G increased pseudotyped VSV particle production ex vivo; increased viral load in hamster upper respiratory tract.’

So when Fauci mentions D614G backwards in his video, he knows it links to ebola vaccine.

Furthermore, different people may have different ACE genotypes:

A Scripps Institute article published in Nature refutes the lab-escape theory of COVID-19 by analysis of seven different coronaviruses. This study from Scripps links the glycocalyx of ebola:

Focusing back on COVID-19, the latest item of interest;

'Rare' genome sequencing almost certainly proves COVID WAS deliberately made in a Chinese lab before it leaked to the world: Another expert study makes bombshell claim​

• COVID-19 has the genome sequencing combination of 'CGG-CGG'
• Two US experts say that no naturally occurring coronavirus has ever had that combination
• The 'CGG-CGG' combination is extremely rare, except when it used by scientists doing 'gain-of-function' in laboratories
• The experts conclude that it is more likely than not that the virus was therefore created in a lab
• In recent weeks, many of the world's top scientists have pushed to determine whether the virus was leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology
