The risky bat-virus engineering that links America to Wuhan

Which vaccine is more deadly?

Reported minimum 6k deaths and double that in UK, only a minimum because the standards for incontrovertible linkage is high and fwiw Bret and co hear from physicians who claim their reports aren't being accepted.

The rates are higher in younger people than in covid deaths.

Clinical trials are halted after 1000x less death.

For anyone interested in what these labs look like, the podcast "TWiV" (This Week in Virology) did a video where they visit Boston's BSL-4.

Software engineers might appreciate the simplicity with which redundant failsafes are attained - each Biosafety Level being contained by a less safe abstraction.

Thus a BSL-4 lab is essentially 4 labs built inside themselves, like a Matryoshka doll for pathogens.

I really hope biologists had much bigger debates about virus modification than the tech community has about ethical AI. It's great that we talk about ethical AI, but the fact that a mistake can't cause a pandemic also puts it in perspective.

Considering how academia has acted so far in regard to the SARS-CoV-2 origin question—most ardently anti-lab-leak scientists ridiculing alternative viewpoints, then turning out to work or have friends working for an organization pulling millions of USD in grant money on related research—it is difficult for me to take its publications on the topic at face value anymore.

For a take published outside of academia, there’s been a thought-provoking write-up featured here not long ago[0]. It touches upon the funding aspect that this article focuses on, as well as the contrived web of misinformation around the issue, WIV virus sample mislabeling, the apparent PLA’s involvement in US-funded research, and a lot more.

Your post is very disingenuous, as she admitted in the article that a lab leak was possible based on historical leaks:

"Anderson, better than most people, understands how a pathogen can escape from a laboratory. SARS, an earlier coronavirus that emerged in Asia in 2002 and killed more than 700 people, subsequently made its way out of secure facilities a handful of times, she said."

> China haven't done a very good job being open and honest about their research there.

Again, you're being a useful idiot for the CCP.

WIV investigations have been stonewalled for over a year, their own doctors and journalists have been threatened or arrested to remain silent, and they deleted dozens of corona sequences from the NIH database.

At this point I have to assume the CCP is paying you off, like the 27 virologists who signed the coverup letter in 2020.

The international conspiracy over corona GoF by virologists now includes the US, Australia, Canada and China. (Australia trained some of the WIV staff and collected bat samples in Australia and processed them, but initially denied that.)
