Health Friday is a series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. There are Important Notifications from our host, Wolf Moon; the Rules of our late, good Wheatie; and, certain caveats from Yours Truly, of which readers should be aware. They are linked here. Note: AI-generated items in today’s offering will be cited as such. If readers wish to post AI-generated items in today’s discussion thread, they must cite their source. Thank you.

It is time — in fact, is it past time — to bring Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, to account. His activities must be be swept under the rug, now that the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, has forced him to retire in June of this year.

Yours Truly brings the following as “preliminaries”: https://merylnass.substack.com/p/today-ralph-baric-was-forcibly-retired, “Today, Ralph Baric was forcibly retired. Let’s examine his career and his central role in the COVID disaster”, Meryl Nass, MD, 12 May 2026. Dr. Nass, who lives in Maine, was suspended from her License to Practice Medicine in 2023 by the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine — for prescribing Ivermectin to treat COVID-19. https://merylnass.substack.com/p/dr-meryl-nass-on-professional-cancellation, 20 December 2023. Her License to Practice Medicine was “License Suspension for Discipline”, with “Suspended Until: Open End Date.” This means that Dr. Nass (a physician with over 40 years’ experience) cannot practice medicine in Maine until she admits “wrongdoing” to the Licensure board; that she takes “re-education” courses; that she agrees to have her work monitored; and, that she “shows remorse” — all of which she refuses to do. Her case is a prime example of what Establishment Medicine will do to punish licensed physicians who dare to treat COVID-19 with repurposed drugs (such as, Ivermectin.)

Another example of punishment / censorship regarding speaking the truth about COVID-19: apparently, YouTube has removed the video of the testimony by Dr. Phillip Buckhaults, PhD, to the South Carolina Senate in September 2023 about his findings of “loose DNA” in the modRNA COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.” The video can be found now on Bing: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=phillipbuckhaults&mid=233876F7E5EB5FE09654233876F7E5EB5FE09654&ajaxhist=0. Dr. Buckhault’s statement is here: https://www.scstatehouse.gov/CommitteeInfo/SenateMedicalAffairsCommittee/PandemicPreparedness/Phillip-Buckhaults-Sc-Senate-09122023-final.pdf.

Why are the above important? They illustrate the breadth and depth of Establishment Medicine and of media “cancellation” / censorship of those who dare to tell the truth about the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines”, and of those who dare to treat COVID-19 with prescription drugs / therapeutics that are not on the “FDA-approved” list.

Why are the above important? They illustrate one aspect of the myriad “ripple effects” of the results of the work of one scientist — Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, (being forcibly retired in June 2026) of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill: the scientist who was the Master Designer of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The scientist who invented the “No See’m” method for hiding insertions / changes in virus gene codes in order to lab-create “new virus gene codes” of spliced-in or deleted code pieces. The scientist who taught multiple other scientists how to lab-create coronaviruses via his “Synthetic Genomics” paper that was published in 2006. The scientist who obtained the Patent for his “invention” of the SARS-CoV-2 virus template — Patent Number US9884895B2 — in March 2015: which Patent was obtained months before Dr. Baric (with Dr. Zheng-li Shi) published the infamous “Circulating Bat Coronavirus” paper in November 2015. The scientist who was a prime “acolyte” of Dr. Anthony Fauci in working on lab-created coronaviruses — with NIH/NIAID grants money from Dr. Fauci that began in the mid-1980s. The scientist who had deep ties with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Dr. Shi. The scientist who had deep ties with Dr. Peter Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance. Yours Truly’s Health Friday six part series, The Baric Files, discusses the above, and traces Dr. Baric’s research journey (https://www.theqtree.com/author/pavaca; search “The Baric Files.”) One of the recurring themes of The Baric Files is the repeated Gain-of-Function experiments that Dr. Baric performed, literally over decades (beginning in the mid-1980s), related to animal coronaviruses. The March 2020 Patent for his “invention” of the SARS-CoV-2 virus template, the November 2020 “Circulating Bat Coronaviruses” paper, and other items, reflect the Gain-of-Function approach in his research. Keep this mind when reading onward:

In Yours Truly’ opinion: It appears that Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, was involved in continuing Gain-of-Function research on coronaviruses, even after the general pause on that type of research in the United States was implemented in 2014. It also appears that Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, engaged in continuing Gain-of-Function research as described in the DEFUSE proposal made by Dr. Peter Daszak (with Dr. Baric as a co-contributer) in 2018 to the United States military, which proposal was turned down. And, in both circumstances, it appears that Dr. Baric misled officials regarding the nature of the work that he was continuing to perform (Gain-of-Function experiments.)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

On (or, perhaps, before) 6 May 2026, an HHS Action Referral Memorandum, Notice of Suspension and Proposed Debarment of Ralph Baric, PhD, was sent to Dr. Baric via email and by Certified Mail – Return Receipt Requested. There appears to be no actual “sent date” listed on the HHS document; it can be assumed that it was sent between 15 April 2026 (the date of the NIH ROI evidence items list in the document), and 6 May 2026; link is below. The Notice was signed by HHS employee Jennifer D. Johnson, Suspension and Debarment Official and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Acquisitions: https://www.science.org/cms/asset/8669-dc85-416d-bc3a-f4600-bd2cc70/hhssuspensionandproposeddebarmentofralphbaricphd_05.06.2026_r.pdf. Apparently, Dr. Baric furnished a copy of the Notice to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS.) Two screenshots from the final page of the Notice are below:

Dr. Baric stated that he would fight the HHS Notice: https://bioethics.com/archives/102651, “Virologist accused to starting COVID-19 will fight U.S. ban on funding”, 12 May 2026.

But, something else happened: Dr. Baric was apparently summarily “retired” from the Gillings School of Global Public Health of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill on 12 May 2026. The action was done under the aegis of Dr. Nancy Messonnier, MD, (Dean of the Gillings School since 2022); and a message was emailed to Gillings School faculty and staff on 12 May. https://www.theassemblync.com/news/education/higher-education/unc-coronavirus-researcher-ralph-baric-retires/, Karie Dean, 12 May 2026. His “retirement” is official as of 1 June 2026. (Yes, it’s that Dr. Nancy Messonnier, MD: sister of Rod Rosenstein. She was the “chief architect” of the COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccine” rollout and imposition campaign. https://sph.unc.edu/adv_profile/nancy-messonnier-md/.)

So, despite the accolades about Dr. Baric by Dr. Messonnier and Maria Gallo in the email above as reported in The Assembly, why does the full tweet above have the phrase, “Messonnier and Gallo’s message did not cite a reason for Baric’s retirement.”?

**** However, several other things also took place prior to the HHS Notice going to Dr. Baric on 6 May 2026:

One — An appeal to the North Carolina Supreme Court to consider the public records lawsuit against the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill; a lawsuit to force the university to release the 5,205 pages of records related to Dr. Baric’s research into creating the COVID-19 virus that UNC refuses to make public, although over 130.000 pages had been released in response to the earlier lawsuit: https://www.carolinajournal.com/top-nc-court-urged-to-take-public-records-case-linked-to-covid-unc/, 29 January 2026; Two — an investigative report, by US Right to Know, regarding NIH files that reveal there was “broader” coronavirus Gain-of-Function research (“engineering”) going on well before COVID-19: https://usrtk.org/covid-19-origins/nih-files-reveal-broader-coronavirus-engineering-research-before-covid-19/, Lewis Kamb, 9 March 2026; Three — an investigative report from Real Clear Investigations regarding the decades-long cover-up of Dr. Baric’s Gain-of-Function coronavirus experiments at his lab at UNC Chapel Hill: cover-up that involves the NIH (Dr. Francis Collins); the NIAID (Dr. Anthony Fauci); and UNC itself (the university’s Chancellor; personnel in the UNC public relations division; and others): https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2026/04/28/covid_cover-up_campaign_to_hide_star_researcher_ralph_barics_ties_to_global_pandemic_1179562.html, Paul D. Thacker, 28 April 2026; and, Four — changes in the top administration of Dr. Baric’s gargantuan antiviral treatment research and development company, READDI (run under the aegis of the Eshelman School of Pharmacy of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill), changes made on 27 April 2026: https://readdi.org/stories/angela-kashuba-named-readdi-interim-ceo/. Recall that Yours Truly wrote about READDI in the six part Health Friday series, The Baric Files. READDI was established via funds from a grant from NIAID to Dr. Baric for approximately $65 Million dollars in May 2022: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/01/23/health-friday-1-23-2026-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-six-ralph-baric-phd-the-master-designer-of-the-sars-cov-2-virus-recent-efforts-and-news-items/.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

**** Per the Carolina Journal article cited above, Lee H. Roberts, the Chancellor of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, is still refusing to fully cooperate with demands to release the withheld 5,205 remaining documents related to Dr. Baric’s activities in the origins of COVID-19. Why?

**** Why does it feel as if Dr. Nancy Messonnier, MD, Dean of the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, “threw Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, under the bus” and summarily “retired” him on 12 May 2026? It is almost impossible that Dr. Messonnier had not heard of Dr. Baric or of his Gain-of-Function experiments on coronaviruses prior to becoming Dean; or, if not before taking the job, then certainly, at some point after her becoming Dean. Why did she suddenly “retire” him?

**** What about Dr. Boyd Yount, PhD, and Dr. Sudhakar Agnihothram, PhD, the CO-INVENTORS of the 2015 SARS-CoV-2 virus “template” Patent along with Dr. Ralph Baric, Patent Number US9884895B2? Dr. Yount is still employed by the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (https://sph.unc.edu/adv_profile/boyd-yount-jr/.) Dr. Agnihothram left UNC and has been working at the FDA since at least 2021 — in the CBER division (Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research): https://www.linkedin.com/in/sudhakar-agnihothram-8195309. Why aren’t these two co-inventors being investigated for their activities alongside Dr. Baric? Why is Dr. Sudhakar Agnihothram, PhD, serving as a speaker at CBER conferences and meetings?: https://www.fda.gov/media/186566/download; scroll down the page to “FDA CBER PARTICIPANTS.” Surely, the FDA knows that Dr. Agnihothrom would likely be biased towards approving COVID-19 bioweapon “vaccines.”

Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD; and his co-inventors of the SARS-CoV-2 virus “template” Patent US9884895B2, must all be investigated. Thoroughly. And held to account. Their “invention” was undoubtedly used by Dr. Zheng-li Shi at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, starting in late November 2015, in her experiments to further develop the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This was the (potentially “unfinished”) virus that was “somehow leaked” from her lab at the WIV in the late fall of 2019, and which was subsequently named “COVID-19”: https://www.theqtree.com/2026/01/09/health-friday-1-9-2026-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-four-ecohealth-alliance-wuhan-institute-of-technology-dr-zheng-li-shi-the-template-virus/. Dr. Baric used the bat coronavirus SHC014, which Dr. Shi was working on at her lab at WIV, and samples of which virus she sent to him, in his SARS-CoV-2 virus “template” Patent, US9884895B2. Please see below, from the Detailed Description of the Invention section of the Patent (the SHC014 virus labelled “WiV1 S”):

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Why is Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, in particular, still being “protected” for his activities in lab-creating the COVID-19 virus “template”? What is contained in the 5,205 pages of documents that the University of North Carolina still refuses to release? Does the University of North Carolina believe that, by apparently forcing Dr. Baric into retirement, the school has “shut the door” on further investigation into his activities?

DR. RALPH BARIC, PhD, MUST BE BROUGHT TO ACCOUNT, ALONG WITH HIS SARS-CoV-2 VIRUS “TEMPLATE” CO-INVENTORS.
