==2018 proposal==
In September 2021, ''The Telegraph'' reported that Drastic, the web-based investigations team set up by scientists from across the world to look into the origins of Covid-19 released evidence from 2018 documenting that Wuhan scientists planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14 million from the [[Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency]] (Darpa) to fund the work.
Th documents show they were hoping to introduce “human-specific cleavage sites” to bat coronaviruses which would make it easier for the virus to enter human cells.
The bid was submitted by Peter Daszak. Team members included Dr Shi Zhengli, as well as US researchers from the University of North Carolina and the United States Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Centre.
[[Darpa]] refused to fund the proposal by Daszak, citing how dangerous it was especially since ‘gain of function research’ was involved: “It is clear that the proposed project led by Peter Daszak could have put local communities at risk”, and warned that the team had not properly considered the dangers of enhancing the virus (gain of function research) or releasing a vaccine by air.<ref>https://therightscoop.com/peter-daszak-submitted-wuhan-request-to-release-airborne-coronaviruses-into-bat-populations-just-18-months-before-outbreak/</ref>
