   Just got contacted by the Office of the President for an off-the-record conversation about COVID origins.... Hmmmm, I wonder if they have anything - or more likely not. This should be interesting. Bob, did you get a request too?

   Seriously? Not a scam? My guess is that they are just interested in general info. and why we think the way we do.

   No - but I'm sure you will set them on the right track.

   They would not be the people who would release the key info.

   Tell him that Alina is a pain in the arse. I'm not all impressed with the behaviour of the Broad on this and a variety ofother matters.

   She is evil and not helping the reputation of the Broad.

   The only lab release "theory" that is possible is if WIV or another lab actually had SC2 or a virus that is one or two steps away from SC2. If anyone had one of these 1. no reason to hide it before the outbreak.and 2. hiding SC2 orthe preSC2 would require the greatest conspiracy EVER. The corollary to this is that in this case SC2 or preSC2 is aNATURAL virus. The Baker/Alina/Relman crap about stopping work on bat/animal CoVs cause someone could have brought it back to the lab also needs vetted somewhere other than the WSJ.
