   Amy is spot on - Bloom, Relman, Worobey standing with the likes of Geitz, Nunes, Carlson and most of all Trump. Bloom and Worobey - what are you thinking? I hope a light comes on... [shared file(s): image.png]

   I think a light might come on in Worobey - Bloom is lost.

   Well - lost and confused for sure - That flip-flop in USA Today will come back to bite JB in the ass - bet on it.

   Anyone who signs a letter with Alina is dead to me.

   I take that as a personal attack and I won't forget

   Indeed - I want to archive this here May 23, 2021. Alina apparently reading the WHO report for the first time - did not stop her from saying in the science ltr that WHO report provided no evidence. [shared file(s): image.png]

   I can't read this. Is there anything of note in it: https://www.wsj.com/articles/intelligence-on-sick-staff-at-wuhan-lab-fuels-debate-on-covid-19-origin-11621796228

    Nope, it's _exactly_ the same as previously reported - NO new information.

    Thought so. If 3 staff were sick enough to go to hospital then any outbreak at WIV must have been substantial.

    And of course, the molecular clock dates put the origin of the virus back to September or so

    I'll send in the morning (i have to be on the University network to get full access).

    CNN have it better: "The current intelligence reinforces the belief that the virus most likely originated naturally, from animal-human contact, the sources said. But that does not preclude the possibility that the virus was the result of anaccidental leak from the Wuhan Institute, where coronavirus research was being conducted on bats."
