This news outlet is fear mongering and deserves a community note.

There is currently ZERO wildfires of note. 107 are under control and are mostly holdovers from last year being monitored.

China has a gag order in place such that no evidence pointing to a Covid-19 origin inside China can be released to the public.

These people think China published everything they have.

Do you remember how bad the media’s “Covid lab leak” - the hypothesis that the virus came from a lab - coverage was?

I thought I did. But it was a more dramatic example of uniform media malpractice than even I remembered.

So I revisited it. Buckle in, it’s long. ⤵️

Here's a well written summary of the research happening in USA and China leading up to the pandemic.

'So today, while we do not yet have certainty in any particular Covid origin scenario, a lab leak origin looks highly likely.'

Did the rest stick around to finish their mahjong game?

616 animal samples from market suppliers to Huanan market and 1287 wild animals tested by PCR, all negative for SARS-CoV-2

Evidence against the origin of SARS-CoV-2 in the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan:

1. Survey of animals sold in the market for approximately 2017-9 provides list of potential intermediate species as host. No infection ever found anywhere in the world in any animal from that list.…

Differential gene expression analysis of the controversial RaTG13 dataset reveals strong similarity to the RaTG15 dataset, also described as generated from a Rhinolophus affinis 'rectal swab' from the Mojiang Mine

TheEngineer2 🇨🇦 Dissenting Skeptic Holtz Peter Miller 62M/S13/WIV01 partial sequences were never published. Why?
And onset date remains on 12-Dec-2019 according to WIV (they never corrected or retracted it).

In our debate on Covid origins, Peter Peter Miller kept insisting that the DEFUSE proposal was only interested in viruses that are only within a 95% similarity to (i.e. at most 5% different from) SARS1. I thought I fully explained that Peter was mistaken and the judges have agreed…

Sadly, NPR was far from alone among the media in abandoning any journalistic standards on the Covid origins issue

Dit is echt geweldig!

Ik heb zo'n donkerbruin vermoeden dat de de leden van de Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis de tweets van Francisco de Asis en TheEngineer2 🇨🇦 - net als ik - heel goed lezen.

En dat is heel verstandig van ze, want daar kun je ontzettend veel van leren.

Libertarian_Virologist Dog's Breakfast Mid-2017, and by then, they already possessed samples from high-risk bat species (Mojiang/Laos) and had created a novel SARSr-CoV reverse genetics system. This coincided with the lifting of the NIH's GoF moratorium.

The question is: Did they make additional progress thereafter?

Interesting as this was something they were consciously trying to tap into. More on that later.

Dog's Breakfast Libertarian_Virologist Not sure, but certainly, they weren't attempting to genetically engineer entirely new spikes or FCS from scratch. Their focus was solely on inserting human-optimized FCS into 'high abundant, low risk parental strains' and conducting infection studies in cellular and animal models
