I occurred to me that while we live in a country with freedom of speech it's not clear to me how the Metzl feels that itwas appropriate to hijack Shi's scientific talk to promote his future books and speaking engagements.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

They are so dishonest - purposefully misquoting Shi. [shared file(s): image.png, image.png]

Of course, it would not matter what Shi said - they would claim victory anyway.

Military research. So idiotic. The reality is that the only shot the west had at looking at WIV was the WHO trip and that was a one off. People like the WaPo can moan all they like but there's no way China will let another team in. All this posturing may sell books but it's game over when it comes to finding out what they had.

The SC2 positive grate under your raccoon dog cage is all I really care about at this point. Plus I am pretty sure Iheard that most of the other SC2 positive environmental swabs were taken the stalls where they sold the live animals. That's a pretty big coincidence - the virus leaked from the WIV precisely all the way to that grate that had just been under a live animal that just happened to be in a market selling wild animals. I predict another move of thegoalposts however - CCP must have planted the samples there.

Completely agree. Balls in WHO's court now.
