Bill Gates Funded Avian Flu (H5N1) Gain of Function Research

• Biosecurity experts fear UW's bird flu findings could fall into wrong hands

• Colorado man becomes first person in US to test positive for bird flu - Infection comes amid worst outbreak of the virus in years

"The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has given $1.3 million to UW-Madison for influenza research to be conducted... The project, led by virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka...will use high-throughput screening to identify mutations in avian influenza viruses that could lead to a pandemic, or global outbreak of flu." May 2008

"By mixing and matching a contemporary flu virus with the "Spanish flu" -- a virus that killed between 20 and 50 million people 90 years ago in history's most devastating outbreak of infectious disease -- researchers have identified a set of three genes that helped underpin the extraordinary virulence of the 1918 virus. " - a team led by University of Wisconsin-Madison virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka Dec. 2008

"To find the gene or genes that enabled the virus to invade the lungs, Kawaoka and his group blended genetic elements from the 1918 flu virus with those of a currently circulating avian influenza virus and tested the variants on ferrets, an animal that mimics human flu infection."

"...a man-made flu virus that could change world history if it were ever set free ...scientists believe it's likely that the pathogen, if it emerged in nature or were released, would trigger an influenza pandemic, quite possibly with many millions of deaths."

US studied spread of H5N1 flu (Avian Flu) via migrating birds in Ukrainian labs

https://tass.com/politics/1419999?utm_source=startpage.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=startpage.com&utm_referrer=startpage.com

"According to Igor Kirillov, due to Ukraine having a unique geographical location, where transcontinental migration routes intersect, a total of 145 species were studied.

MOSCOW, March 10. /TASS/. Russian Defense Ministry obtained information about US Project UP-4 on research of particularly dangerous infections of migrating birds, including H5N1 flu and Newcastle disease, which had been developed in Ukrainian biological laboratories, head of Russian Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops Igor Kirillov said Thursday."

Murders of environment and land defenders hit record high

The Guardian

Figures from Global Witness for 2020 show violent resource grab continued unabated despite pandemic.

Murders of environment and land defenders hit a record high last year as the violent resource grab in the global south continued unabated despite the pandemic.

New figures released by Global Witness show that 227 people were killed in 2020 while trying to protect forests, rivers and other ecosystems that their livelihoods depended on. (...)

The annual tally of the dead has risen for the past two years and is now twice the level of 2013. This is still thought to be an underestimate because the calculation depends on transparency, press freedom and civil rights, which vary considerably from country to country. (...)

The watchdog group has outlined proposals for governments and companies to reduce the risks of violence in resource extraction. In future, they put hope on a new bill being drafted by the EU commission that would require companies to conduct mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence on their supply chains. The United Nations is also working on a binding treaty on business and human rights, but there is still a long way to go before such measures reduce the impunity that allows the killings to take place.

Are start-ups counter to nature?

https://www.ouishare.net/article/are-start-ups-counter-to-nature?

How do we reinforce our capacity to innovate while creating stronger connections with ecosystems that we hardly ever see or interact with, since they are far removed from our jobs and our social and geographic environments?

In a fascinating debate between Cléa Bauvais, Alexandre Mézard, Alain Renaudin and Emmanuel Delannoy, moderated by Edwin Mootoosamy, we explored the divergent worlds of start-ups and natural ecosystems.
