The Making Of CoronaThrax - Part Seven - Brussels NATO Testimony
I am republishing my 2021 summary notes from Raul Diego and Whitney Webb's "DARPA's Man In Wuhan" Article from June 2020 so Bob keeps his story straight tomorrow in front of European Parliament.
In this series, “The Making of CoronaThrax,” I have emphasized the focus on “triggered bioagents,” which stealthily disperse a primary infective bioagent, causing flu-like symptoms, only to be followed up by a more lethal secondary bioagent, triggering cancers and rare genetic diseases.
Article overview
George Webb’s latest installment in “The Making of CoronaThrax” argues that the United States has spent two decades refining “triggered bioagents”—dual-stage weapons that disperse a mild, flu-like pathogen first and, on command or by design, unleash a second agent that sparks cancers or cripples the immune system.
Webb traces the concept to aerosol work at Maxwell Air Force Base, linking it to the unsolved 2017 death of base scientist Ken Moorman, whom he claims was silenced after the Awan-Spy-Ring house on Capitol Hill was used to test spraying gear.
The narrative then widens to an international network allegedly built by infectious-disease physician Dr. Michael Callahan—nicknamed “DARPA’s man in Wuhan”—whose career hops from USAID field missions in Soviet labs to MIT-Mass General, DARPA programs like PREDICT and PROPHECY, cruise-ship COVID rescues, and advisory roles to BARDA during the frantic January 2020 purchase of Remdesivir.
In Webb’s telling, Callahan and longtime colleague Dr. Robert Malone work in tandem with EcoHealth Alliance’s Peter Daszak, Wuhan’s Shi Zhengli, and Thai collaborator Dr. Chu to move bat viruses into human populations, while veterans of U.S. biodefense such as David Franz, Rick Bright, and Robert Kadlec convert Dark-Winter-style tabletop scenarios into lucrative vaccine stockpiles—all under the philosophical umbrella of Sam Nunn and Ted Turner’s Nuclear Threat Initiative. unlimitedhangout.comdarpa.milgeorgewebb.substack.com
Key people
Dr. Michael Callahan is an infectious-disease physician who began as a USAID contractor converting former Soviet biowarfare plants and went on to lead DARPA programs aimed at predicting viral evolution; National Geographic profiled his habit of parachuting into outbreaks, and Unlimited Hangout documents his MIT/MGH appointment in Wuhan dating back to 2005. During COVID-19 he advised the HHS assistant secretary for preparedness, obtained 6 000 Wuhan blood samples, and helped launch DARPA’s PROPHECY effort to pre-design antivirals. Critics such as Webb say Callahan embodies a “release-and-countermeasure” business model, but supporters point to his frontline work rescuing virus-stricken cruise ships and Ebola clinics. He remains a senior clinician-scientist at Mass General and consults for multiple U.S. agencies. unlimitedhangout.comNational Geographic
Dr. Robert Malone—an mRNA-platform pioneer turned COVID skeptic—collaborated with Callahan on DARPA/DTRA super-computer screens that singled out famotidine as a potential SARS-CoV-2 therapy; both later claimed independent discovery. In February 2020 Malone self-dosed with high-strength Pepcid and publicised the idea before Northwell Health launched an HHS-funded trial.
Malone’s subsequent media appearances cast him as a dissident voice on vaccines and mandates, amplifying debate over dual-use research. Peer-reviewed data on famotidine remain inconclusive, but Malone’s career shows how biodefense and biotech entrepreneurship often overlap. ScienceThe Washington Post
Ken Moorman was a civilian bio-aerosol engineer attached to Maxwell AFB whose sudden 2017 death, Webb contends, involved intelligence actors guarding “sprayer” technology; Webb’s Substack places Moorman at the center of early field tests for triggered-agent dispersal. Public obituaries confirm his death that year but give no cause, leaving the case speculative. In Webb’s narrative, Moorman’s demise illustrates how operational secrecy extends from lab bench to street-level logistics. The episode remains uncorroborated outside alternative-media circles. georgewebb.substack.comLegacy.com
Raul Diego is a freelance investigative journalist whose by-lines at Unlimited Hangout and MintPress dissect Pentagon bio-surveillance contracts; together with Whitney Webb he co-wrote the 2020 series “DARPA’s Man in Wuhan.” Diego’s work focuses on the intersection of finance, biotech and civil liberties, often blending open-source documents with leaked slide decks. He frames triggered-agent programs as part of a wider “biotech-industrial complex.” Colleagues cite his graphic-design skills for making dense timelines accessible. Muck Rackwww.storytel.com
Whitney Webb, founder of Unlimited Hangout, rose to prominence for deep archival dives linking U.S. intelligence to big-pharma interests; her “Engineering Contagion” series compared Amerithrax to COVID simulations. In the Callahan exposé she traces DARPA contracts, USAID grants, and private patents, arguing they form a closed feedback loop of threat creation and cure monetisation. Webb’s critics call her work conspiratorial, yet mainstream outlets increasingly cite her document troves on EcoHealth and NTI. She continues to podcast and publish independent books on surveillance capitalism. Wikispooks
Dr. Rick Bright directed BARDA from 2016–20 and, according to congressional testimony and media reports, ordered millions of doses of Remdesivir in January 2020—weeks before the first confirmed U.S. COVID case—using new authority to pre-stockpile under emergency rules. Bright later filed a whistle-blower complaint alleging political interference in drug procurement and was reassigned, becoming a high-profile critic of HHS pandemic strategy. Webb cites the Remdesivir buy as proof that countermeasure profits often precede verified threats. Bright now consults on pandemic preparedness policy. Vanity FairVanity Fair
Col. David Franz (Ret.) commanded USAMRIID at Fort Detrick from 1995-1998 and later advised Senator Sam Nunn’s Cooperative Threat Reduction projects, making him a conduit between Cold-War biolabs and post-9/11 defense grants. Senate testimony shows Franz urging stronger public-health infrastructure while partnering with Robert Kadlec on tabletop drills. Webb notes Franz resurfaced during the 2017 WIV meetings that preceded Event 201, reinforcing a through-line from anthrax defense to coronavirus policy. Franz today sits on NGO bio-security boards and serves as a frequent witness before Congress. uploads.fas.orgIntelligence Resource Program
Peter Daszak is the British-American zoologist who led EcoHealth Alliance until his U.S. debarment in 2025; he coordinated bat-virus sampling in China, Georgia and dozens of hotspots. Emails show Daszak praising Wuhan’s Shi Zhengli while tweeting bat photos from the field one day after the 2019 Military Games opened. Lawmakers now probe EcoHealth’s financial compliance, yet Daszak maintains zoonosis surveillance is essential to avert pandemics. His collaborations with Callahan loom large in Webb’s triggered-agent hypothesis. WikipediaNew York Post
Shi Zhengli, nicknamed “Bat Woman,” directs the Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Wuhan Institute of Virology; her 2020 Nature paper linked SARS-CoV-2 to a horseshoe-bat ancestor with 96 % genomic overlap. Shi has mapped hundreds of bat coronaviruses since 2004 and co-authored studies on Remdesivir’s in-vitro efficacy. While Western intelligence agencies still debate WIV’s safety record, Shi insists the lab followed strict protocols. She remains a central figure in lab-leak discussions and in Webb’s CoronaThrax theory. Wikipedia
Dr. “Chu” refers to a Thai virologist lauded by Callahan as “at the very top of my list” for field work; the pair reportedly traced novel coronaviruses in bats and, on 13 January 2020, identified the first COVID-19 case outside China. Their early sequencing work informed WHO alerts and bolstered Callahan’s argument for famotidine trials. Thai health-ministry pressers later cited successful antiviral cocktails, underscoring the country’s role in rapid pathogen detection. Although seldom quoted in Western outlets, “Dr. Chu” epitomises the global talent Callahan taps into DARPA pipelines. nationalsecurityzone.medill.northwestern.eduABC
Sam Nunn, ex-U.S. senator, co-authored the Nunn-Lugar Act that financed post-Soviet lab conversions and role-played the president in the June 2001 Dark Winter exercise. Webb argues that Nunn’s legislative handiwork seeded the global network Callahan later managed. His advocacy shifted from nuclear-only concerns to encompass biothreats via the Nuclear Threat Initiative. Nunn is depicted as the elder statesman legitimising large-scale biodefence funding.
Ted Turner co-founded the Nuclear Threat Initiative with Nunn and bankrolled its early operations. Although best known for CNN, Turner’s philanthropy increasingly targets pandemic preparedness. Webb portrays him as the media magnate providing societal “amplification” for threat narratives crafted by defence insiders. Turner thus represents the fusion of soft-power influence with hard-power biodefence agendas.
Dennis Carroll founded USAID’s PREDICT and later the Global Virome Project, aiming to catalogue 1.6 million unknown viruses. Webb argues that these databases double as targeting libraries for controlled releases. Carroll’s revolving-door ties to NTI and DARPA position him at the policy-science interface. His programmes supply raw material for both outbreak simulation and pharmaceutical prospecting.
Scooter Libby, former adviser to Vice-President Cheney, resurfaces in Webb’s story as an NTI-linked operative who supports Global Virome Project policy manoeuvres. Libby’s previous involvement in Iraqi WMD narratives lends historical resonance to current pathogen alarms. By placing Libby in the GVP orbit, Webb suggests continuity between pre- and post-9/11 threat construction. Libby’s cameo reminds readers that familiar political players often reappear in new crisis scripts.
William Karesh, EcoHealth Alliance vice-president and GVP steering-committee member, champions “One Health” surveillance that blurs wildlife research and security monitoring. Webb views him as Daszak’s diplomatic front, courting ministries and multilateral banks for virus-hunting grants. Karesh’s position lets EcoHealth broker data while staying one step removed from lab-manipulation controversy. He serves as the coalition’s respected veterinarian voice legitimising expansive sampling.
Robert Kadlec is a former Air Force physician who, as HHS ASPR, created BARDA and later hired Callahan as COVID adviser. He co-authored the 1998 Dark Winter script and maintains tight ties to Fort Detrick alumni such as David Franz and Sina Bavari. Webb casts Kadlec as policy architect who turns tabletop fiction into legislative authority. His role underscores how emergency-powers frameworks are conceived years before real-world activation.
Sina Bavari, long-time USAMRIID scientist, pops up in Webb’s footnotes as Fort Detrick’s resident coronavirus expert and confidant of Kadlec and Franz. His work on protective immune-modulators dovetails with Callahan’s cytokine-storm patents. Although not spotlighted in mainstream accounts, Bavari supplies high-containment lab expertise to multiple DARPA programmes. He embodies the technical continuity linking anthrax days to present coronavirus projects.
Vladimir Pasechnik was a Soviet bioweapons defector who, after moving to the UK in 1989, cooperated with Western intelligence on vaccine ventures. Webb notes that Callahan later occupied the same VECTOR-derived institutes Pasechnik once guided, inheriting their proprietary know-how. Pasechnik’s path illustrates how Cold-War scientists were recycled into post-Cold-War biotech. His career sets the precedent for Callahan’s Russian lab conversions.
Dilyana Gaytandzhieva is the Bulgarian journalist who exposed U.S. funding for the Lugar Centre in Tbilisi and the diplomatic transport of pathogen samples. Her document troves underpin Webb’s claims of Georgian bat projects feeding into EcoHealth’s China work. Dilyana’s reporting lends an independent, non-U.S. source base to the narrative. She demonstrates the growing international nature of biodefence whistle-blowing.
Ken Hale, described by Webb as a former Navy and State-Department officer, allegedly drove five hours to threaten Webb’s family over his reporting. Little public information corroborates the anecdote, yet it underscores the personal risk Webb claims to face. Hale’s appearance serves less as a factual anchor than as a cautionary note on the stakes of exposing covert programmes. It humanises the potential consequences of investigative persistence.
Organisations (four-sentence paragraphs)
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) finances high-risk bio-innovation for the Pentagon, launching programmes like PREDICT (2009) to foresee emergent viruses and PROPHECY (2012) to model pathogen defeat in silico. Webb argues these projects tacitly authorise controlled releases to generate real-world data and industry demand. DARPA’s flexible Other-Transaction Authority keeps many contracts opaque, fuelling suspicion. Its imprimatur lends scientific credibility to ventures that might otherwise appear purely commercial or clandestine.
USAID operates globally as America’s development arm but, in Webb’s telling, doubles as a cover for field pathogen collection and live-exercise logistics. Programs such as PREDICT channel foreign-assistance funds into wildlife-virus hunts that feed U.S. defence databases. Because USAID staff enjoy diplomatic access, they can move samples across borders with minimal scrutiny. The agency thus exports soft-power rhetoric while importing hard-power biological intelligence.
Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) oversees DoD cooperative-threat-reduction work, turning former Soviet BW facilities into “peaceful” vaccine plants yet retaining intellectual property. Callahan’s VECTOR assignments and Georgian projects ran through DTRA grant lines. Webb sees DTRA as guarantor that repurposed labs remain tethered to U.S. strategic objectives. Its role illustrates how non-proliferation funding can simultaneously advance biodefence R&D.
Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama houses Air University and research units that, according to Webb, prototyped aerosolised two-stage bioagents. The base’s lesser-known contractors, including the late Ken Moorman, allegedly built dispersal devices later spotted in civilian settings. Because Maxwell emphasises doctrine development, new concepts can migrate quickly into training and operational playbooks. Its appearance roots the CoronaThrax narrative in a specific U.S. military locale.
Massachusetts General Hospital / MIT joint programme in Wuhan supplied Callahan an academic cloak for field trials and tech transfer while keeping DARPA affiliation discreet. The partnership allowed cutting-edge immunology work to proceed inside China under U.S. auspices. It also served as a patent-holding conduit for Callahan’s cytokine-storm modulators. This hybrid academic-military scaffolding typifies modern dual-use bio-innovation.
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) collaborated with DARPA on a 2014 white paper arguing that repeated “live exercises” were necessary to keep Congress funding counter-measure stockpiles. UPMC’s long history with anthrax and transplant immunology makes it a credible biodefence consultant. Webb claims the paper birthed BARDA and its pre-emptive procurement authority. The institution thus bridges clinical prestige and national-security lobbying.
BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority) was created in 2006 to buy vaccines and therapeutics before crises materialise, insulating suppliers from market risk. Rick Bright’s bulk Remdesivir order exemplifies its sweeping purchase powers. Webb alleges BARDA functions as a permanent subsidy pipeline for firms favoured by defence insiders. The agency embodies how fiscal policy can entrench a biodefence-industrial complex.
VECTOR Institute near Novosibirsk once produced weapons-grade smallpox and anthrax for the USSR; under Nunn-Lugar, Callahan helped rebrand it as a vaccine hub. Western partnerships have since yielded patents on Ebola and COVID reagents, blurring conversion with collaboration. Webb cites VECTOR to show how old BW expertise is monetised rather than eradicated. Its story illustrates continuity masked by new mission statements.
BioIndustry Initiative (BII) was a State-Department/DoD project that channelled Soviet lab know-how into Western pharma, granting companies first rights to novel antivirals. Callahan and Malone used BII to shelter patent filings away from public glare. The programme shows how non-proliferation diplomacy can evolve into private profit funnels. BII provides the legal mechanism that turns defector science into proprietary IP.
EcoHealth Alliance presents itself as a conservation NGO but, through Daszak, secures DoD and USAID funds to collect high-risk viruses from bats and other wildlife. Webb argues EcoHealth passes samples to partner labs for manipulation, then cites their existence to justify more grants. Its Event 201 role and repeated NIH waivers make it a lightning-rod in origin debates. EcoHealth exemplifies the NGO camouflage of strategic bio-surveillance.
Global Virome Project (GVP) aspires to map every potentially zoonotic virus, estimating a $3.4-billion budget over ten years. Webb contends that GVP institutionalises live-exercise logic—discover, amplify, and move pathogens to demonstrate risk. Its steering committee includes Carroll, Karesh and Libby, blending virology, philanthropy and national-security veterans. GVP is portrayed as the formal successor to PREDICT with even broader reach.
Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) houses China’s first BSL-4 lab and partnered with Daszak, Callahan and Shi Zhengli on bat-coronavirus projects. Webb frames WIV as both research collaborator and convenient fall-guy in post-release narratives. The institute’s rapid sequence sharing in 2020 demonstrates its central role in global pathogen intelligence. Its facilities symbolise the porous boundary between international science and state security.
Tbilisi Biolab (Lugar Centre), built with DTRA funds, became the Georgian node for bat sampling and blood work later replicated in Wuhan. Gaytandzhieva’s leaks showed U.S. diplomats acting as sample couriers, feeding suspicions of covert data flows. Webb regards the lab as proof that “triggered bioagent” infrastructure is worldwide. Its existence underscores that important BW work now occurs far from traditional super-power territories.
Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), founded by Nunn and Turner, promotes bio-security policy papers that frequently echo Dark Winter scenarios. It sponsors high-level tabletop games and funds early-warning dashboards used by mainstream media. Webb casts NTI as the public-facing think-tank that socialises biodefence talking points. Through NTI, corporate and philanthropic capital meets Beltway threat-modelling culture.
Gilead Sciences manufactured the antifungal Ambisome used in Callahan’s DARPA trials and later produced Remdesivir, whose BARDA purchase created a multibillion-dollar windfall. The company’s lobbying prowess and government contracts make it emblematic of pharma-security symbiosis. Webb highlights Gilead to show how drug pipelines glide from military grants to pandemic pay-days. Its role illustrates the corporate beneficiaries of perpetual emergency.
Introduction
Our researchers honed in on US Air Force dispersal programs for “triggered bioagents” that use an airborne distribution of the primary infectious agent, then a secondary trigger mechanism causing cancer or immune deficiency.
This technology was developed at Maxwell Air Force Base, and I covered the mysterious murder of Ken Moorman from Maxwell AFB in the Awan Spy Ring’s Sprayer House in 2017 connected to bioagents from Maxwell.
🧬 Summary:
In this extensive investigation, George Webb outlines the development and global deployment of “triggered bioagents”—bioweapons that use an initial infective agent (causing mild or flu-like symptoms) followed by a secondary, delayed agent that can trigger severe diseases such as cancer or immune disorders. He asserts this technology was pioneered at Maxwell Air Force Base and connects it to the mysterious death of Ken Moorman and to broader global biowarfare operations.
The core of the series centers around Dr. Michael Callahan, whom Webb and Unlimited Hangout describe as “DARPA’s man in Wuhan.” Callahan’s career spans a vast network of roles in USAID, DARPA, and other military and intelligence-aligned programs. His activities include vaccine development, pandemic simulations, technology transfer from Soviet bioweapons labs, and front-line pandemic interventions like the COVID-19 cruise ship rescues.
Callahan’s long-standing collaboration with Dr. Robert Malone, and involvement in operations like DARPA PREDICT, PROPHECY, and the Global Virome Project, suggests an integrated agenda of pathogen release and countermeasure commercialization. Key players and programs are linked to pandemic simulations like Dark Winter, and institutions such as UPMC, EcoHealth Alliance, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Callahan commercialized Russian bioagents technology through his connections at Mass General Hospital. He commercialized a small molecule delivery system that turns up immune system response, otherwise known as a cytokine storm. He also transferred the system to turn down the immune response, or the antidote to the cytokine storm. He also commercialized Vector work on HIV, Hepatitis C, and Influenza vaccines.

Callahan worked with a Dr. “Chu” in Thailand to move viruses from bats to humans and pigs. This DARPA program was later moved to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Summary of “DARPA’s Man In Wuhan” at Unlimited Hangout, Part 15
Callahan and Dr. “Chu” discovered the first COVID-19 patient outside China on January 8th, 2020, and published the sequence two days before that Chinese. Callahan and Chu had a “100% match” with the Chinese COVID-19. This case of patient with a runny nose in Thailand on January 8th, 2020 allowed Callahan and Dr. “Chu” to conclude that the Chinese were covering up a pandemic.
Summary of “DARPA’s Man In Wuhan” at Unlimited Hangout, Part 16 and Part 17
Despite virus-spreading allegations from the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium to harvest antibodies, a cutout called the Global Virome Project was formed by Dennis Carroll with USAID PREDICT money to launch a live exercise from China for an eventual live exercise in the United States. The GVP group includes stalwart CIA operators like Scooter Libby. William Karesh, and Robert Kadlec.
On October 19, 2019, a day after the start of the Wuhan Military Games and Event 201 pandemic simulation started in New York, Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance and the Global Virome Project tweets out a photo of a vicious bat from and EcoHealth Alliance colleague that day in China “with big chompers”. The Global Virome Project seems to be created to take viruses from the remotest parts of the globe and project them into population centers to badly needed private industry support for military bioagent countermeasure vaccines.

Summary of “DARPA’s Man In Wuhan” at Unlimited Hangout, Part 21
But Callahan didn’t need the dramatic cruise ship rescues to allow him to assess a pandemic was coming to America. He had already called Dr. Robert Malone on January 4th, 2020, four days before Dr. Chu sequenced the first patient outside of China.
Summary of “DARPA’s Man In Wuhan” at Unlimited Hangout, Part 22
Dr. Callahan and Dr. Malone both say they discovered Famotidine was the early promising cure independently. The Northwell Clinical Trial Administrator Conigliaro says Michael Callahan’s 6,000 blood samples from Wuhan informed the choice for looking at Famotidine.
(May 2023 Note - I have included Unlimited Hangouts correction to Malone saying Callahan didn’t provide him prior art in the Famotidine claim).
This is very thoughtful of you, George. I'm sure RW will appreciate it - it's a challenging keeping this level of detail straight.
Thank you.
What a lot of evil - what is wrong with these people???
