    Pretty illuminating on how some of this bs came about. https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1374167352904884226?s=20. I'm *shocked* somebody like Jesse would tweet this - I mean_, just_ this weekend Eddie, Andrew, and myself reminded him to please check the actual sources and data. And now this. And it's not just Jesse...

    Asher is a buffoon - he's literally talking about pangolins and bats *mating*.

    I gotta say - if the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 really _did_ require a bat and a pangolin mating, then I would be firmly in the lab leak camp too... So much idiocy.
