   https://twitter.com/ydeigin/status/1393172849167376386 Here eDim is tweeting with Yuri (yucking it up because BLis a FOMO). Being called a "dead-ender" by eDim not as good as being called out by Ann Coulter but is also a markof honor.

   Politifact is fact-checking whether Tony Fauci is lying about funding GoF research at WIV - Tony is smart - I'm sure he's not lying. @Kristian Andersen you're right they are pointing at the PLOS Pathogens paper.

    Lipkin is no better than Covidfaker. Absolute scum. I'm done with him.

    Good plan! BL's Daddy probably didn't like him either.
