Dr. Peter Daszak, as the president of the @EcoHealthNYC, submitted a funding request to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (@DARPA), an agency of the United States Department of Defense (@DeptofDefense) in 2018. The title of the project was "Defusing the Threat of Bat-borne Coronaviruses." The project entailed the insertion of a furin cleavage site into SARS-like coronaviruses gathered from their natural reservoir, located 1500 km away in southern China, to the research being conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The study of the furin protease cleavage site within the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 remains an active area of research because of its critical function in how the virus gains entry into human cells. The "furin cleavage site" refers to a segment of the spike protein in a coronavirus that interacts with the human furin enzyme, a protease that catalyzes the reaction of cleaving the spike protein, thus activating the virus for entry into the human cell.

@PeterDaszak has been served a subpoena by @COVIDSelect to determine his role in the probable accidental release of #SARSCoV2 from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. He has been ordered to testify in Washington D.C. on November 14, 2023, regarding his alleged involvement in the creation and accidental release of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of #COVID19, and his involvement in a conspiracy to cover this up.
