    ""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"?

    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]

    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....

    From my NYT journo friend "Pompeo is getting ready to join the presidential race in four years, so he's laying all kinds of markers and booby traps to show he's tough on China."
