Do you know why GISAID are claiming that they releasing the first genome on January 10th? This is a complete fabrication. A journalist pointed me to it: [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-01-16 at 12.14.27 pm.png]

    ""The Catastrophist" tells the story of Wolfe's upbringing by a father who, along with other relatives, shares aparticular medical vulnerability. It follows his quest as a virus hunter whose early career was spent in Africa and Asia looking for clues to the next major pandemic". Surely it should be "The Bullshitter"?

    Reading it carefully, I see a rather vague set of accusations with no smoking gun. The idea that the WIV were working on pangolins seems totally bizarre. "With symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illnesses"? Could mean anything. The timing speaks volumes from me...passing shot from Pompeo?

    Bannon, Pompeo, etc laying the groundwork for the next push.

    I agree. The statement about pangolins is ridiculous...and then they throw in the military links....
