Guardian article is OK Andrew's right: "Will be interest to see how hard this is pushed into the media - i.e. is itgovernment sponsored." It willalso be interesting to see how Trump supported media (Fox, Newsmax, OAN) handle this.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

It may not be government sponsored, but the government will be delighted and I assume it's all over their state media. I'll see what has to say.

They certainly seem to be offering it to the WHO's 'origins investigation committee'.

Yes - I saw the Guardian article. It is good that they make it clear that this is a political angle and doesn't come from the science.

Agree - The whole notion of precirculation is of course something we offered up in PO1 - who knew that would be subverted to Italy and India [or maybe other countries beginning in I]. Perhaps another paragraph or two for PO2?

Is the article still up? Eddie's link doesn't work for me...
