Thanks. Now I understand. These 15.000 samples were from Asian bat manure, collected by Chinese biologist Wen Chiung Lee*. If I understand correctly, US researchers wanted to use these for GOF research.
This confirms what I feared from the beginning. US funds were accepted by Wuhan to do research that was illegal in most of the Western world.
This reeked of cover-up from the beginning. You need an active propaganda motor to make anything disappear from the net that fast.
* There are multiple scientists with a very similar name. It seems the propaganda machine has erased most of the biologists' work from the net. I'll check later, have to run now...
