A new post on DARPA from same source. Don’t remember hearing much about the other programs…….
The author also includes his “in silico theory” ie that computer simulation software was involved but not confirmed elsewhere as a far as I know. He discusses this idea as the time line develops and is quite interesting. See what you think. The original DARPA sequence is very realistic, still thinking about the In Silico version🤔
Beginning in 2010, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched a succession of biodefense programs that, viewed together, appear to form the architecture of a complete pandemic operating system: predicting genomic threats, converting sequence information into pharmaceuticals, compressing response timelines, extending surveillance into animal populations, and preparing interventions before any declared outbreak began.
The programs were called PROPHECY, ADEPT, P3, and PREEMPT.
A fifth project, DEFUSE, was submitted under PREEMPT and proposed applying that architecture specifically to bat coronaviruses.
Operation Warp Speed later supplied the industrial-scale manufacturing and deployment layer.
The conventional explanation is that these projects represented prudent pandemic preparedness.
ADEPT (2011): Turning Sequence Information Into Countermeasures
DARPA followed PROPHECY with ADEPT.
ADEPT began investing in gene-encoded medical countermeasures, including DNA- and RNA-based technologies, around 2011 and 2012.
DARPA later credited ADEPT with helping establish the technological foundation for nucleic-acid vaccines and identified Moderna as one of the program’s contracted performers.
P3 (2017): Compressing Sequence-to-Deployment Time
DARPA’s Pandemic Prevention Platform, known as P3, emerged in 2017.
DARPA described P3 as a follow-on to ADEPT and said the program aimed to identify an outbreak and develop and deploy protective countermeasures within approximately 60 days.
P3 was therefore not primarily a discovery program.
It was a speed program.
Its purpose was to collapse the time separating the recognition of a purported threat from the deployment of a medical product.
PREEMPT (2018): Constructing the Animal-Origin Layer
DARPA launched PREEMPT in January 2018.
The program sought to identify allegedly “human-capable” viruses in animal reservoirs and intervene before their alleged spillover into humans.
PREEMPT required field sampling, next-generation sequencing, metagenomics, ecological surveillance, genotype-to-phenotype mapping, mutation identification, machine learning, and near-real-time data sharing.
Under the official framework, PREEMPT was designed to stop zoonotic spillover.
DEFUSE (2018): The PREEMPT Thread That Reached COVID
DEFUSE was not a standalone DARPA program.
It was an EcoHealth Alliance proposal submitted under PREEMPT in 2018.
The proposal sought more than $14 million for work involving EcoHealth Alliance, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Ralph Baric’s University of North Carolina team, Duke-NUS, the U.S. Geological Survey, and other partners.
Operation Warp Speed (2020): The Industrial Deployment Layer
Operation Warp Speed launched in May 2020 as a partnership between the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense.
By the end of 2020, HHS and DOD had obligated approximately $13 billion toward vaccine development, manufacturing, and distribution.
Operation Warp Speed was not a DARPA program. But it appears to have operationalized capabilities DARPA had spent years developing.
