1 chapters across the catalog

Leaked documents from the DRASTIC research team indicate that Wuhan scientists planned to release chimeric COVID spike proteins into bat populations using skin-penetrating nanoparticles. This research, conducted 18 months before the initial outbreak, aimed to inoculate bats but carried a high risk of human infection, leading DARPA to deny funding. The project involved creating human-specific cleavage sites to make the virus more infectious to people.
