Or maybe it wasn't a natural spill over.

I'm a simple guy.

If Baric, Daszak, Shi, & Linfa Wang are world's brain trust on emerging coronavirus threats and spillovers, why did they focus on southern China and Laos for a decade of research and miss the worst pandemic in a century coming from Hubei province in the north?

A tutorial on the Dasak/WIV experiment that should have triggered the lab pause & NIH notification but did not.

Stopping the work at this time is more likely than not to have prevented the pandemic.

NIH requirement: if 10-times more viruses produced, stop all work. (the…

Maybe the call was to discuss the 1 log increased growth seen at WIV & how not to report to NIAID as required?

Sep 2019 reporting date was just missed & it would be 2 y before reporting

Stopping research in Sep 2019 as required by agreement, might have prevented pandemic

When the Zoonoti say there is no evidence that SARS2 came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology they never qualify that by telling you that the US tax payers paid for 15,000 samples that sit in the WIV but are unavailable for research or investigation.

Richard Ebright nails the outcome of the latest Subcommittee testimony of Peter Daszak.

There is suppressed data on cases well before Dec 2019 in Wuhan, China, that mean the super spreader event in Dec 2019 at the Huanan Sea Food (HSF) market is meaningless for the investigation of the origin of SARS-CoV-2

Remember, HSF is the ONLY spillover source considered

In 2017 Ben Hu & Zhengli-Li Shi of the WIV & Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance used Baric's 'No See 'Em' technique for Gain of function experiments

Christian Drosten reviewed the paper

Any claim the WIV was incapable of this level of synthetic biology is false on its face

'The Select Subcommittee...recommends that EcoHealth Alliance and Dr. Peter Daszak are formally debarred and cut off from receiving any future U.S. taxpayer funding.

'...also recommends...DOJ conduct a formal investigation into Dr. Daszak.

The 3 hour testimony of Peter Daszak before the subcommittee has just completed. There appears to be a bipartisan conclusion that Peter Daszak has been untruthful with Congress and/or has withheld documents. I believe it is more likely than not that Eco health alliance will be…

Measuring edema around tumors during pre-surgery breast MRI is highly predictive of future metastasis to lymph nodes.

Full disclosure: I invented this MRI agent used to detect excess tissue water a/k/a edema.

Thanks Yuri Deigin

Folks, it really is this simple a choice to think about.

Observation: some data suggests the incidence of new cancers, their growth rate, or responses to chemotherapy changed since SARS-CoV-2 appeared

Data: The S2 portion of Spike inhibits the most critical tumor suppressor we have, p53

A solid hypothesis

Gilles has some remarkable things to say about the gene drive comment I noted.

What jumps out for me is the proposal for using gene drives here. This is a technology that 'drives' a genetic trait through a non-human population, often using Crispr tools. Huge ethical issues, IMHO

Here, a group of scientists from DARPA try to write a Code of Ethics for Gene…

Thank you Mentju for sharing this:

Could I have imagined a laboratory trying to create an artificial wet market so they can simulate a viral spillover?

Well here is CSU proposing just that.

I am speechless.

Hypothesis: SARS-CoV-2 was introduced to Wuhan from overseas via cold-chain products.

Testing: Cold-chain products shipped to Wuhan during the period of Sep to Dec 2019 were found and 1055 samples tested for SARS-CoV-2 by PCR. All negative

Hypothesis rejected.

Wildlife specimens collected before the pandemic:

Hubei: 2328 specimens in 69 species = all negative
China: 681 specimens in 14 species = all negative
