Health Friday is series devoted to information about Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. As today’s offering speaks of the disaster of COVID-19 (the bioweapon virus itself, and the bioweapon “vaccines”), Yours Truly dedicates it to all persons, of whatever age or location, who have suffered (or still suffer) from injuries, illnesses, or disabilities induced from either an infection of the COVID-19 virus itself, or induced from “vaccination” by COVID-19 “vaccines”; or, who have passed away from the negative effects of an infection by the COVID-19 virus itself, or from the negative effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” they had in their body.
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 linke here. Note: Yours Truly has checked today’s offering for AI-generated content. To the best of her knowledge and belief, there is none, except for AI-generated content within linked URLs.

Special Note regarding today’s offering: In no way is the following, or The Baric Files series in general in Health Friday posts, to be construed as a “character assassination”, or as an “indictment”, or as any other type of attack or smear on Ralph S. Baric, PhD, of the UNC GIllings School of Global Public Health of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, or of his lab at the university. The linked scientific papers, images therefrom, and other information about Dr. Baric (such as his Curriculum Vitae [1]) are all available on the internet. The ideas and conclusions of today’s offering are by Yours Truly. There is a plethora of items related to Dr. Baric; Yours Truly will focus on some of them in each part of The Baric Files.
Part One through Part Four of The Baric Files are linked here: https://www.theqtree.com/2025/12/05/health-friday-12-5-2025-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-one/; https://theqtree.com/2025/12/12/health-friday-12-12-2025-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-two-of-mice-rabbits-and-ai-23946/; https://www.theqtree.com/2026/01/02/health-friday-1-2-2026-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-three-patents-dr-anthony-fauci/; https://www.theqtree.com/2026/01/09/health-friday-1-9-2026-open-thread-the-baric-files-part-four-ecohealth-alliance-wuhan-institute-of-virology-dr-zheng-li-shi-the-template-patent/.
Thus far, in the research journey of Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, it has been seen that Dr. Baric progressed from the study of a certain virus (the Sindbid virus) carried by a certain mosquito — to the study of coronaviruses in other animals (mice, rabbits, pigs) — to the study of the SARS-CoV virus — to the inventions of, and applications of, methods to lab-create chimeric coronaviruses — to the invention of the “template virus” for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, for which Dr. Baric was granted the Patent in 2016.
However, there are other aspects in the research journey of Dr. Baric, one of which is: his involvement with the United States Defense Department.
Today’s offering is Part Five of six.
United States Department of Defense:
It appears that Dr. Baric has been involved with the United States Defense Department since at least 2018, if not before. The DEFUSE Proposal document that was presented to the Defense Department by Dr. Peter Daszak, then-CEO of EcoHealth Alliance, was written, in part, by Dr. Baric. Yours Truly covered this proposal in Part Four of The Baric Files (see above URL); and, is indebted to Jon Fleetwood for the linked article in today’s offering. Please see screenshots from his article [2], below:

From the DEFUSE Proposal document (top); and, from emails by Dr. Daszak regarding the proposal:

Again, from the DEFUSE Proposal document, below; this, about the furin cleavage sites in the potential SARS-CoV sequence that would be developed by Dr. Baric at his lab:

As Yours Truly wrote in Part Four of The Baric Files, the Defense Department did not pursue the DEFUSE Proposal. However, other entities did fund Gain-of-Function research that would result in the lab-creation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These other entities include NIH / NIAID. These other entities also include DTRA (Defense Threat Reduction Agency), a division within the Defense Department. Two examples are: first, grant HDTRA11710064, which helped to fund a September 2020 paper co-authored by Dr. Baric [3]. Please see the screenshots from this paper, below: first, the Funding statement; then, the Conclusion:


A second example is HDTRA1-1C-C-0072, the grant which funded the development (invention) of the antiviral drug, EIDD-2801 (now known as molnupiravir [LAGEVRIO], a treatment for SARS-CoV-2 [COVID-19] infection.) [4]. Emory University and Dr. Ralph Baric collaborated on this work. Molnupiravir is theoretically supposed to “mimic” natural Uridine, thus supposedly assisting in fighting a COVID-19 infection. The problem is that molnupiravir is a dangerous drug intervention; one that must be administered only under strict conditions and only for a limited number of days. Please see the screenshots from the Emory University press release regarding EIDD-2801, below:


The FDA Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers for molnupiravir (LAGEVRIO) [5] lists the following required instructions for administration of the drug:


**** Yours Truly will not comment on, but simply mention, the irony that Dr. Ralph Baric, by September 2020, had already invented and Patented the SARS-CoV-2 virus (Patent Number US9884895B2, presented in Part Four of The Baric Files); that the Patent describes “methods for treatment” for an infection of this virus; and, that it appears that Emory University either did not know about said Patent, or ignored it.
**** Yours Truly will also comment on, but simply mention, the irony that molnupiravir (LAGEVRIO) attempts to “mimic” the Uridine in the body of a person “vaccinated” with a modRNA COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “vaccine” (such as, BNT162b2 / COMIRNATY by Pfizer-BioNTech, which contains the lab-created compound N1-Methylpseudouridine, a compound that DESTROYS the natural Uridine RNA in the “vaccinated” person’s body.)
Fort Detrick involvement with Dr. Baric (including USAMRIID):
Fort Detrick, located at Frederick, Maryland, is a United States Army military base and biological laboratory; it is also the location of the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) [6].
An article in the People’s Daily (Communist China) in September 2021 drew attention to Dr. Baric’s involvement with Fort Detrick [7]. Granted, the CCP was doing / is likely still doing, all it can to deflect attention to the activities at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in the lab-creation of the COVID-19 virus; however, it confirms that Dr. Baric was involved, not only with the WIV, but also with the United States Defense Department, in the lab-creation of the virus. Please see the screenshot, below, from the People’s Daily article:

The People’s Daily article mentions two papers. The first, from 2006, [8], regards the Cynomolgus Macaque as a “model” for SARS infection. Please see the screenshot from this paper, below:

Yours Truly notes that, except for two co-authors associated with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and for the co-author Dr. Ralph Baric, every other co-author of this 2006 paper is associated with the United States military — Fort Detrick; Walter Reed Army Hospital; and, other Defense Department facilities. In addition, it appears that Gain-of-Function techniques were used in the work.
The other paper mentioned in the People’s Daily article, from 2003 [9], regards the use of reverse genetics to create a full-length cDNA SARS code (in other words, Gain-of-Function research.) Please see the Abstract from this paper, below:

Yours Truly will note the following that are also listed in the October 2003 paper: first, the top of the Affliations list in the sidebar linked from the Authors Info & Affiliations hyperlink in the paper; and, second, the Affiliations entry regarding Dr. Ralph Baric from that list, which states that he is affiliated with USAMRIID:


Another item linking Dr. Baric to USAMRIID: the talk that he gave at the USAMRIID annual research conference in 2023 [10]. Please see the screenshot from the article on this event, below:

(By the way, another speaker at this event in 2023 was Dr. Deborah Birx, herself a 29-year Army veteran.)
18 U.S.C. 2339; 18 U.S.C. 1001; and, 15 U.S.C. 1-3:
Yours Truly now turns to the work of Dr. David E. Martin, PhD. Dr. Martin is founder and CEO of M-CAM, Inc., a company that specializes in intellectual property risk management. A screenshot of a portion of his biography, from a conference in 2006 [11], is below:

In 2021, Dr. Martin wrote and published The Fauci/COVID-19 Dossier [12]. The following screenshots are from this Dossier.

The following three portions of the Dossier are related to 15 U.S.C. 1-3 — Conspiring to Criminal Commercial Activity:
Page 16, NIH and biodefense Gain-of-Function funding for Dr. Baric:

Page 17, more on Dr. Baric:

Page 18: Dr. Baric: DARPA involvement; biodefense awards to Dr. Baric / UNC (funneled via NIAID):

The Biodefense Grants to Dr. Baric / UNC are “officially” from the “Southeast Regional Centers of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases”, headquartered at UNC Chapel Hill. However, this entity (one of several such Regional Centers located in various areas of the United States) is funded by NIAID. NIAID, in turn, is in a “cooperative program” with USAMRIID (https://www.niaid.nih.gov/sites/default/files/category_a_progress_report.pdf, “NIAID Biodefense Research Agenda for CDC Category A Agents Progress Report”, August 2003, Page 6.)
Summary: In Part Five of The Baric Files, it can be seen that the research journey of Dr. Ralph Baric, PhD, has progressed from the study of a certain mosquito that carries a certain virus (the Sindbid virus) — to the study of coronaviruses in other animals (mice and rabbits) — to the study of a certain coronavirus that occurs in pigs (the TGEV coronavirus) — to the study and application of methods to lab-create coronaviruses and the injection of such chimeric viruses into lab animals to study the effects of said injections — to the granting of Patents to Dr. Baric for this work — to the study of the SARS-line of coronaviruses — to the invention of the “template virus” for SARS-CoV-2 by Dr. Baric and the granting of the Patent to him for this invention — to Dr. Baric’s involvement with various divisions of the United States Defense Department in the lab-creation of coronaviruses. Along the way in his research journey, Dr. Baric was involved with the Dr. Zheng-li Shi of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Along the way in his research journey, some of the funding for Dr. Baric’s work was provided by the United States Defense Department (and some of which funding was “relayed” through NIAID.)
Questions that arise: Is Dr. Ralph Baric still affiliated with USAMRIID? Who exactly at NIAID accepted the funding from the United States Defense Department? Who exactly at NIAID signed the approval to send these funds to Dr. Baric? How much, if any, of the work performed by Dr. Baric with funding by the United States Defense Department was shared with Pfizer-BioNTech, or with Moderna, or with both companies?
To be continued in Part Six.
THE COVID-19 BIOWEAPON “VACCINES” — ALL OF THEM — MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET AND FROM ALL USE IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW. PERIOD.
THERE. MUST. BE. ACCOUNTABILITY.
THERE. MUST. BE. JUSTICE.
THERE. MUST. BE. TRUTH.
