   Just listened to some of the Alina podcast. She's vacuous, but also cleverly evasive. I am coming around [OK I'm already at] to Andrew's point that they really need to be boxed into a corner and made to come up with somespecifics. Most important is that you need a very close relative (99% or better) to get to SARS-CoV-2 by any sort ofGOF research. Also blow up the notion that lab origins is not a conspiracy theory. It is.
