Went on a foray into USAspending.gov using "spike protein" as a search term. Intrasting. Grants were let as far back as 2015 by Fauci's NAID to Duke University for "SPIKE PROTEIN CLEAVAGE-ACTIVATION AND EMERGENCE OF CORONAVIRUSES…" Then, in the middle of a different grant which was let to study AIDs via women and child health, spike proteins show up again as IMMUNOGENICITY AND EFFICACY OF SARS-COV-2 STABILIZED PREFUSION SPIKE PROTEIN VACCINE in May of 2019 (Weill Medical College of Cornell). The May date is of particular interest since the first patient was supposedly identified in November of 2019. So the vaccine and spike proteins were being studied six or seven months prior to the first patient being identified.

Thanks, Tony.

Weill Medical College could probably use it's own dig. Total cash and prizes from the USG (including Dept. of Defense) = $2 Billion Dollars for all FYs.

>>13700388 Baker, could you include >>13700361 Fauci's department was studying spike proteins and vaccines prior to identification fo the first patient? It's a self nom but puts Fauci even further in the deep shit, which is good.
