# COVID-19 Claims Evidence Review changelog ## R21 — August 6, 2026 - Published a 23-range page/topic index for the 1,375-page NIH, Fauci, and Gates Foundation collection, with text-coverage and exact-text/render duplicate metrics. - Kept the Gates PDF at its official Senate link after review confirmed a date-of-birth identifier and operational contact details; the public index reproduces neither document text nor sensitive values. - Added the separate 41-page CBP production as source 118 but kept it official-source-only after every page was visually reviewed and sensitive personal, financial, immigration, and law-enforcement records were located. - Clarified that FOUO, LES, and USPER are originating CBP handling markings and do not by themselves determine whether Senate publication was lawful or unlawful. - Rechecked the official Reading Room and verified that the Slack and current Daszak CBP files remain byte-identical to the R20-reviewed bodies. No later Reading Room volume, official hearing transcript, Fauci witness statement, or committee contempt record was located. - Increased the source catalog from 117 to 118 references. Hosted-file totals, claim wording, confidence, evidence certainty, and verdicts are unchanged. ## R20 — August 6, 2026 - Hosted two publisher-current Senate PDFs: 128 pages of NIH public-comment moderation records and 88 pages of Fauci and intelligence-community correspondence. - Deferred the complete 1,123-page Slack production because it contains access-bearing URLs, deferred its 15-page committee-selected excerpt set so a curated slice is not mirrored without the fuller record, and deferred the current 23-page CBP file because it contains operational contact details. Canonical Senate links remain in the catalog; this site does not reproduce the sensitive values. - Added a chronology/topic index for the complete Slack production while stating that selected messages are not independent or complete evidence. - Added balanced record-versus-inference framing: the messages preserve uncertainty and disagreement; the NIH records do not adjudicate legality; intelligence contact does not itself prove improper coordination; and the CBP production does not establish the FBI's reasons or unlawful conduct. - Verified both hosted R20 files against publisher-current official byte sizes and SHA-256 checksums and disabled unchecked publisher-source fallback for the new routes. - Quarantined the withdrawn 65,336,851-byte diary, a superseded 5,070,880-byte CBP revision, and all text or corpus derivatives containing either body. Only non-downloadable provenance metadata remains. - Documented that the publisher-current CBP file blacked out identifiers exposed in the superseded copy but still failed this site's mirroring screen for separate operational contact details. - Increased the hosted related-record archive to 19 PDFs, 7,158 pages, and 750,585,944 bytes; increased the source catalog from 112 to 117 records. - Updated the Latest Records spotlight, project agent guidance, manifests, Senate index, protocol, candidate-source log, source verification exports, and tests. No claim wording, confidence, evidence certainty, or verdict changed. ## R19 — August 6, 2026 - Added a prominent Latest Records spotlight immediately below the opening review summary. - Ordered the current diary and Senate archive updates newest first: R18, R17, then R16. - Added direct links from the spotlight to the records archive and complete changelog, plus a Latest item in desktop and mobile navigation. - Sources, hosted files, claim wording, confidence, evidence certainty, and verdicts are unchanged. ## R18 — August 6, 2026 - Clarified that the Senate source filenames—not this site—label the Baric interview and awards correspondence as redacted. - Stated explicitly that the site did not add, remove, or choose any blackout and hosts byte-identical source files. - Defined the site privacy screen as non-modifying quality control rather than a redaction process, privacy certification, legal review, or ethics determination. - Replaced potentially agent-specific ethics wording with a neutral statement that the archive makes no independent compliance determination. - Sources, hosted files, claim wording, confidence, evidence certainty, and verdicts are unchanged. ## R17 — August 6, 2026 - Hosted complete official copies of Senate Investigation Records — Volume I, the redacted Ralph Baric transcribed interview, and the redacted Fauci awards and prize correspondence. - Added the official July 29 Fauci hearing page and full Senate video, with hosted copies of both Chairman Rand Paul's and Ranking Member Gary Peters' opening statements. - Published page-topic and text-coverage metadata for Volume I, including 88 exact-text duplicate groups covering 240 page occurrences; every source page remains in the hosted PDF. - Published SHA-256 checksums and an automated-plus-visual privacy-screening status with explicit limits. No exposed Social Security number or date-of-birth value was located in the flagged pages. - Cataloged but did not host the 1,375-page NIH, Fauci, and Gates Foundation collection pending a useful page and topic index. - Began monitoring for later Reading Room volumes, an official hearing transcript or witness statement, and official committee contempt materials. - Increased the source catalog from 105 to 112 references and refreshed point-in-time verification exports. - No claim wording, confidence, evidence certainty, or verdict changed in this revision. ## R16 — August 6, 2026 - Replaced the withdrawn 69,276,172-byte July pandemic-diary copy with the Senate's 74,654,524-byte August 6 publisher revision. - Removed the superseded hosted route; requests now receive HTTP 410 instead of the prior file. - Documented two earlier files at the original July URL using publication timestamps, byte sizes, and Internet Archive digests, without mirroring or directly linking their bodies. - Added NOTUS's July 29 redaction comparison and August 4 medical-privacy investigation. - Disclosed that the publisher-current file is not an independent certification that every sensitive detail has been removed. - Increased the source catalog from 102 to 105 references and refreshed point-in-time verification exports. - No claim wording, confidence, evidence certainty, or verdict changed in this revision. ## R15 — August 6, 2026 - Hosted a complete copy of the 3,234-page Fauci FOIA email file published by BuzzFeed News and DocumentCloud in June 2021. - Added The Washington Post's separate 866-page FOIA presentation and the January 2022 House email-excerpts release as chronology and provenance records. - Hosted the complete two-part, 473-page Fauci transcribed interview released by the House Select Subcommittee in May 2024. - Hosted the 557-page House final report and all eight official supporting-document volumes, totaling 2,440 pages. - Corrected the supplied chronology: the major newsroom FOIA publications were released in 2021, and the Select Subcommittee concluded its investigation with the December 2024 collection rather than a separate 2025 tranche. - Published byte sizes and SHA-256 checksums for all 12 newly hosted files in `/primary-records/manifest.json`. - Increased the source catalog from 85 to 102 references and refreshed the point-in-time source verification exports. - No claim wording, confidence, evidence certainty, or verdict changed in this revision. ## R14 — August 6, 2026 - Hosted complete copies of the official 1,141-page Fauci pandemic diary and the separate 465-page prequel. - Preserved the official Senate source links and added byte sizes, SHA-256 checksums, and a machine-readable file manifest. - Added the Senate Reading Room as the release repository and independent context from PolitiFact/Poynter and the Associated Press. - Labeled the diary files as primary records of what Fauci wrote, distinct from scientific, intent, causal, or legal conclusions drawn from selected entries. - Increased the source catalog from 80 to 85 references and refreshed the point-in-time source verification exports. - No claim wording, confidence, evidence certainty, or verdict changed in this revision. ## R13 — August 4, 2026 - Made `covid-review.farvision.com` the canonical public address for the current review. - Improved site reliability and security. - No research records, source catalog entries, claim wording, confidence, evidence certainty, or verdicts changed in this revision. ## R12 — August 4, 2026 - Added point-in-time access, Wayback availability, and integrity-metadata checks for all 80 canonical sources; 54 were reachable by the checker, 58 had an available snapshot, and one known expression of concern remains flagged. - Added SHA-256 provenance receipts for all nine supplied media records and caption-file hashes for seven of eight videos; the unavailable montage caption is explicitly disclosed. - Added a public clip-framing-versus-underlying-record comparison for all nine `C19-MED-002` subclaims. - Added legal and evidentiary status labels that distinguish documented conduct, empirical claims, interpretation, disputed allegations, and unadjudicated criminal allegations. - Added dated verification exports and an editorial review receipt. The receipt documents a same-workflow consistency pass and does not claim independent human peer review. - No claim wording, confidence, evidence-certainty, or verdict changed in this revision. ## R11 — August 4, 2026 - Expanded the R10 public revision entry with the stable claim ID, catalog growth, and processing scope. - Added this downloadable changelog as a durable release record. - Evidence conclusions, source count, and claim verdicts are unchanged from R10. ## R10 — August 4, 2026 - Processed eight supplied X videos and one supplied image into stable claim record `C19-MED-002`. - Captured authors, publication dates, post text, available platform captions, media metadata, and canonical source URLs. - Decomposed the media set into nine attributed subclaims covering vaccine-passport coercion, pediatric vaccine evidence, changing public-health claims, federal records, SARS-CoV-2 origins, censorship allegations, criminal allegations, and NIAID–EcoHealth–WIV funding. - Added separate verdicts and limitations for every subclaim rather than assigning each clip's caption to the underlying evidence as fact. - Added 15 catalog entries: nine supplied primary records and six policy, clinical, audit, or congressional verification records. - Increased the source catalog from 65 to 80 references. - Added `candidate-source-log.csv` with discovery date, query or intake route, disposition, and reason. - Advanced the evidence cutoff and catalog snapshot to August 4, 2026. ### R10 conclusion changes - Added one new composite verdict: **Misleading**, with moderate evidence certainty and moderate-to-high verdict confidence. - Added nine new sub-verdicts: two Mostly true, three False, two Misleading, one True, and one Unresolved. - Existing claim verdicts were not changed. ## R9 — August 1, 2026 - Added six sub-verdicts, a matched evidence-balance panel, and accessible mobile navigation. ## R8 — August 1, 2026 - Added a persistent Changelog navigation item linked to the public revision history. ## R7 — August 1, 2026 - Rebalanced the July 31 composite post with matched supportive and contrary evidence. - Clarified that institutional guidance does not carry the verdict when stronger outcome evidence exists. ## R6 — August 1, 2026 - Added a decomposed review of the July 31 composite social-media post. - Preserved the incomplete remdesivir sentence without inferring a missing allegation. ## R5 — July 31, 2026 - Added GRADE-informed evidence certainty, reproducible methods, quantitative effect snapshots, and source-provenance status. ## R4 — July 31, 2026 - Added stable claim IDs, per-claim revision records, a corrections policy, and machine-readable exports. ## R3 — July 31, 2026 - Added six-field evidence ledgers and the cited origins evidence-class matrix. ## R2 — July 31, 2026 - Added exact tested claims, eight stronger sources, evidence-type labels, and narrower wording for vaccine, mask, fatality, remdesivir, and funding findings. ## R1 — July 30, 2026 - Published the initial ten-claim review with 48 references and the first origins assessment.
