Works at Scripps Research Institute, which WAS in serious financial trouble, haemorrhaging 20 million $ a year.
But just when the first virus cases were emerging, they received great news.
They issued a press release dated November 27, 2019:
“Scripps Research and Shenzhen Bay Laboratory (China) today announced a trans-Pacific chemical biology research collaboration that combines the expertise of both institutions.”
https://t.co/KVHRgu8CID
"Scripps Research faculty will establish joint labs at Shenzhen Bay Lab with research areas including synthetic chemistry, natural products, glycobiology, chemical genetics, proteomics & other critical areas of chemical biology"
"SZBL strives to become a hub for world-class research at forefront of innovation, spurring novel solutions to issues challenging mankind"
https://t.co/TuRtueRKzL
"a new bio-tech lab set up next to HK with the HK protest in full swing, in partnership with a bankrupt firm whose head scientist is a cheer-leader for genomic surveillance, funded with CCP money in late Nov 2019.
Nothing fishy about that at all!
Scripps is a supporter of remdesivir, also endorsed by WIV which applied for a patent for the drug.
“It’s a very safe and effective drug,” said Eric Topol, founder & director of the Scripps Research Institute, who rejects HydroxyChloroquine

Andersen accuses Peter of hoarding virus sequences for private use!

I noticed Kristian Andersen upped the stakes by making a veiled allusion to Bombali Ebola Virus, alleging that EcoHealth had failed to upload its sequence, but did not reveal the motives. However, we do know why.
Ecohealth supplies deadly viruses to DOD!

Sydney University gets an estimated $534 million a year from selling bogus degrees to Chinese students, which amounts to 23% of total university revenue. That figure doesn't include grants from China for various think tanks or joint-projects.
Whistle-blower, Prof Babones says:
