Four years after a global coronavirus pandemic was allegedly unleashed from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and despite the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) overt design to “dual-purpose” militarize agricultural research, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) continues to collaborate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in avian flu research.
Since April 2021, under the Biden administration, USDA has been engaged in “wet-lab virology” to study “newly emerging avian influenza viruses” in a $1 million five-year collaborative effort with its Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, Georgia., the CCP-run CAS, and the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute, according to a February report by the White Coat Waste Project.
