I am still reading and it is VERY interesting! but I have a question: You say

"Back in 1981 a Soviet research team published a paper which demonstrated that the 1977 H1N1 strain that’d lead to a mysterious but short global pandemic had in fact been engineered in a laboratory. The names at the top of the paper got a chuckle out of my dad, who mentioned that some of the old Soviet scientists he’d worked with over the years had mentioned the open secret that when Soviet winters were especially cold, many scientists would smuggle used research animals out for dinner. "

This paragraph has a link to an embopress article that does not seem to be related to "H1N1 strain that’d lead to a mysterious but short global pandemic had in fact been engineered in a laboratory. "

Was that the link you intended? thanks
