Below there's a list ofworks authored by people mentioned above, as well as others that I didn't mention: for instance, you will find the first peer-reviewed paper speculating on the lab origin of SARS-CoV-2, by Dan Sirotkin (Twitter account @Harvard2H); the fascinating Bayesian analysis by Gilles Demaneuf and Rodolphe de Maistre; the preprint by Daoyu Zhang (Twitter account @flavinkins), who first questioned the data on pangolin coronaviruses; the lab leak hypothesis proposed by Anon, which perfectly fits with this detective saga; last but not least, the memorable Medium articleby Yuri Deigin on the gain-of-function experiments that were carried out in Wuhan. So many people were involved,as you may see, but this should not come as a surprise: science is a collective enterprise, even when you do it onTwitter."
