The book that made Ron Unz’s eyes nearly pop out of his head is available via paperback and Kindle Unlimited:

Ron popped his eyeballs back into his head for the follow-up review. This blog and book also opened Columbia Professor Jeffrey Sachs's eyes:
The “weird” 2018 paper referenced by Jeffrey Sachs, the 2020 results, and the 2018 DARPA Defuse draft proposal were distributed across multiple NIAID grants from 2018 to 2020. Sachs, the chair of the Lancet COVID-19 Commission, is now 99% sure this is what happened.
Dr Geert Vanden Bossche, a virologist and former Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation officer, told the White House to read the book! He is a veterinarian who understands animal vaccines.
The book’s scientific survey even puzzled virologist Angela Rasmussen. The survey results led to a Dutch scientist in a Montana lab, prompting a Dutch newspaper to write a book review.

The above 2024 book evolved from the below 2022-23 posts. This series of posts was not to discuss ‘lab’ leak but ‘what’ leaked.
The above blog posts originated from my March 2022 Twitter thread, asking why Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology published RaTG13. Alina Chan and Matt Ridley lied in Chapter 1 of their book Viral to make their narrative work. The answer is not easy—it came up in drafting the Proximal Origin paper—but my book provides one.
That February 2022 question led to a debate with Rutgers professor Richard Ebright. Ebright argued that Shi could have engineered a genome like SARS2. I countered that this was implausible, citing Ralph Baric's own statements on the technical challenges involved. Former US CDC director Robert Redfield has called Baric the “scientific mastermind” who refused to release his 2019 documents.
Ultimately, Baric’s (UNC) furin cleavage site was a gateway to a much larger story. By November 2022, I notified Ebright that COVID-19 was a self-disseminating bat vaccine developed in Fauci’s biodefense lab (RML). Bats aren’t birds; they’re mammals like you and me, but bat samples fly around the world in the “cold chain.”
The 446-page book barely mentions Ebright, but its premise was built around a single question: Why does this Old World virus called SARS2 love New World lab animals? Over 100 scientists were asked this same question, but my book provided an answer. A smoking gun email from a Colorado bat lab confirms that Covid was created in a Montana lab but tested in Wuhan.
The case for US lab origins was based on a fact-check of Major Joseph Murphy’s letter to the Department of Defense (Covid infects US lab bats) and his disclosure of the losing DARPA Defuse proposal (which referenced the same US lab bats). Fauci’s Montana lab won the 2018 DARPA project, and by 2019, he merged the project’s winners and losers under his CREID initiative.
Professional virologists, who all left Twitter, understood my 2022 lab leak debate:
