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."
-
That so called "Fact Sheet" seems completely bogus to me - there's no _actual_ information in there other than they did lab work... No specific allegations, no specific data - pure bs.
-
Yup, pure BS. On the subject of BS...why are GISAID claiming that they released the sequence on the 10th?? Their data were uploaded on the 12th.
-
Yeah, I was really confused about that too - I talked to Peter on the phone and he mentioned it. I don't remember that at all, but then again, I wouldn't have checked GISAID on that day. I'm sure it's pure BS - everybody got that fucking sequencing from Virological and your post! I mean, that post has more views than our Proximal Origin post....
