Jim Haslam is the author of Covid-19 Mystery Solved, and his thesis is exactly what the title says: he believes the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is documented, traceable, and confirmed by the genomic evidence and by a 2018 proposal that Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina wrote to DARPA in which he described creating the genome. George Howard sits down with Haslam for a full conversation covering the chain of researchers, institutions, and locations that connect Chapel Hill, North Carolina to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and the document trail that Haslam argues amounts to a confession.
The DARPA Defuse document, a public grant proposal that ended up in a top secret folder and was leaked by Marine Joseph Murphy in 2021, describes Baric's plan to create a chimeric coronavirus genome approximately 25% different from SARS-1, insert a furin cleavage site, and provide it to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for testing on Chinese horseshoe bats. SARS-CoV-2 arrived at 24.7% divergence with a furin cleavage site, which is the only one found in any SARS-like virus. When the US government asked Baric in January 2020 whether the genome looked engineered, he said no. He did not mention the furin cleavage site he had proposed to introduce. After the Defuse document leaked in 2021, he went stone cold quiet and never spoke to the press again.
The aerosolisation trail leads to Rocky Mountain Lab in Hamilton, Montana, Tony Fauci's biodefense facility, where Vincent Munster ran experiments using serial passage in animals to make SARS-CoV-2 airborne. Of the 5,000 mammals on Earth, only five efficiently transmit SARS-CoV-2 through onward respiratory transmission, and all five were used in that lab. Haslam's closing read on Shi Zhengli, the Wuhan virologist known as the Bat Lady, who published RATG13, the closest known genomic match to SARS-CoV-2, is that she may have been acting as a whistleblower, publishing evidence that pointed back toward the American researchers and away from herself, and that future historians may see her as one of the bravest scientists of the era.
Haslam frames all of this as his account, built from public documents, genomic analysis, and years of research. He has asked every virologist he can reach to prove him wrong. None have.
