This article appears to be fraudulent, a commenter on another site posted this:

[–] dass 0 pt • (+0/-0) • 4h I did a little digging and found this - 'Derek Knauss is a journalist/editor on the website Prepare for Change. You can see on that website that he posts articles regularly. He is not a lab scientist or virologist. From the fact check that Bram refers to in a commentary on April 11, it is clear that the universities of Stanford and Cornell themselves state that they have not filed charges against the CDC. If they had, the name of the virologist would certainly have been known and the researcher who published this article was known. It was at one point linked to a biochemist Rob Oswald of Cornell University. But he has denied that he or his university had anything to do with it. Incidentally, it can be found on the internet that this text already existed on December 8, 2020.

Conclusion: this article is not based on truth and must be fraudulent!'.

My apologies.
