It gets even wilder. Metabiota, the company Hunter secured funding for (for what he called his “science project”), has been a longtime partner of Ecohealth Alliance and the USAID PREDICT project which sponsored bat coronavirus research at Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Who is Xiaoying and what does her husband do at CDC?

The Metabiota founder sits on the editorial board of EcoHealth, the “central platform for fulfilling the mission of the EcoHealth Alliance” and is a member of DARPA’s advisory council

He was named a World Economic Forum “Young Global Leader” in 2010 He has received “support totaling over $60m in grants and contracts from Google, the NIH, National Science Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and US Department of Defense.”

Way back in 2011, Wolfe was already pushing “novel sources of animal protein” (eating bugs) as a way to prevent pandemics

Oh man

Thread on connections behind Metabiota

One of the other principle figures involved in Metabiota, Bradley Schneider, has been deeply involved in studying and collecting tick-borne pathogens. I’m having flashbacks to the 1950s now.

A project led by Schneider was awarded over $1 million in federal funding. There are no details about the project other than the title.
