    No discussion I saw other than this @Eddie Holmes quote.

    @Kristian Andersen Okay, great. It might be worth coordinating about this since our Jordanian collaborator have been providing all the samples for the >95% dataset on GISAID that we sequenced here at Scripps. Edyth is currently taking the lead on analyzing that dataset, which isn't currently focused on variants - but might be worth SLACK_000864syncing up if there could be a larger study.

    Can you send the Appendix Bob?

    Seems that China pushed back on the inclusion of the raccoon dog stuff...plus I think Daszak wants to include it inhis own Lancet report and get more of the glory!

    Dear ColleaguesYou are among thirty colleagues with an interest in the origin of SARS-CoV-2 who is receiving this email. Attached please find an Open Letter to the WHO with respect to the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the COVID pandemic. The purpose of the Open Letter is to request that the WHO acknowledge five facts that scientists agree on and which support the conclusion that an accidental laboratory-acquired infection was responsible for the COVID pandemic. The five undisputed facts are: COVID-19 wasn't smoldering in the community before the epidemic broke out, as was observed with previous coronavirus epidemics.Despite an intense search, neither the COVID virus, nor any close relative, has yet been found in nature, unlike prior natural zoonoses. The closest viral relative is from the laboratories of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, near theepicenter of the first cases. The COVID virus had little genetic diversity at the outset, unlike prior natural zoonoses. It was genetically pure, like a man-made vaccine. The COVID virus's powerful infectious trigger isn't found anywhere inits related viral group in nature but has been repeatedly inserted into viruses by laboratory scientists, including at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The virus was highly adapted for infection of people from the start, unlike prior natural zoonoses.I look forward to any comments you might have on this Open Letter, especially if there is scientific evidence (not speculation) which I have missed that should be included here or if you think something is misstated. IfI receiveyour comments before this is published I will make changes, if appropriate.Regards, Steve Steven Quay, MD, PhDDr. Quay WebsiteBreast Cancer TEDx Talk STAY SAFE #1 Amazon Medical Book SLACK_000865*ORCID 2-D iD*

    Dr. Quay, I dispute each of your "facts."-
