1+ week, 3+ day ago   (805+ words) Months before COVID, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) documented plans to field-test an unlicensed experimental raccoon-poxvirus-vector bat vaccine that could be delivered “by spraying,” according to the agency’s July 2019 Environmental Assessment for Field Testing of a Pseudogymnoascus destructans Vaccine. The…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago   (1185+ words) The U.S. government was funding automatic biological spray technology before DEFUSE, attempted to repurpose that existing capability through DEFUSE, and continued paying Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) to develop and test spray devices during COVID.
