PO1 was indeed the perfect red herring to distract the sleuths and detectives from uncovering the plan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylwMWpbv5Fk
-
But the true genus was throwing out RaTG13 - look how long it too until anyone suspected that "we" had SC2 all along! We being all of us "chaos agents" on Alina's wall. $40M not too bad Kristian!
-
What do we make of this: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.22.436468v1.full.pdf

Plausible - Indel Region 2 and 3 - very divergent between SC2 and GDpangocov.
-
NTD is the receptor binding domain of many CoVs.

Not on this topic but related to "the Plan." Spoke with Betsy McKay again late yesterday- reading between the lines Ibelieve that our friend "Deep Throat" has surfaced again. She was aware of the email exchanges back in January -hinted that they had been shared with her from someone on the calls that thought "we" were a bit overly friendly tothe lab leak.
-
Back to the interesting paper - important to keep in mind that enhanced replication in cell culture doesn't necessarilytranslate to enhanced pathogenesis. As Andrew you've noted - it's all about the timing...
-
Shows how modular the spike is though.
-
@Andrew Rambaut Never saw that money from the institution. Bastards.
-
I think people are majorly underestimating how flexible and mutational tolerant the spike is.
-
@Andrew Rambaut Rich bastards! :grinning:
-
... as for Ralph DeepThroat, I don't think he's realizing that this actually helps us... Yes, as we said, we considereda lab leak a very real and serious possibility, no, that does not change our conclusions [add new stuff from WHO report].
-
Me thinks that Alina may be taking her "victory lap" a few news cycles too soon. [shared file(s): image.png]
-
Not sure what Andrew told Lipstich, but ML Is still wrong - saying WIV had SC2 before the pandemic is a conspiracy theory plain and simple...
-
Here is mine... https://twitter.com/arambaut/status/1374253839063334913
-
TOTALLY AWESOME: [shared file(s): image.png]
-
ML side-skipped the bit about it being absolutely a conspiracy theory.
-
Naughty.
-
Need to point out at every opportunity what Andrew just said to ML. If your Lab Leak hypothesis says that WIV hadSC2 [or SC2 lite] before the pandemic then it is a *conspiracy theory*.

Shi giving a talk over zoom - all of the Parisites are on. [shared file(s): image.png]
-
Are you on it Bob? Rutgers.... I'm sure Ebright (E-dumb will be his name) is miffed.
-
Yes - also Jesse Bloom logged in...
-
So is Alina
-
Hah, I can imagine. Keep us posted!
-
Screenshot of attendees?
-
Full of Parisites [shared file(s): image.png, image.png, image.png, image.png, image.png, image.png, image.png, image.png, image.png]
-
That truly is DRASTIC and friends. Although I don't see E-dumb or Yuri
-
Their questions are going to be something to watch for...
-
This will make them nuttier: [shared file(s): image.png]
-
More parisites showing up and a NYT reporter [shared file(s): image.png, image.png, image.png]
-
My goodness. Not exactly the A team, now, is it.
-
Wait- shouldn't we be shutting research down/ TOO DANGEROUS>>> [shared file(s): image.png, image.png]
-
She mentions - unreasonable speculation [shared file(s): image.png]
-
```The head Parisite Jamie Metzl asked her about the military working at WIV - she said she was the director - part ofCAS - all research open and that information was incorrect. ```
-
Haha, there you go - and he's SUCH an idiot
