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."-
-
Yeah, I got that too - complete nonsense from start to finish.

First impression on the report is that they have pulled their punches and that this is going to go on for years which ishugely depressing.

I agree with this read as well Eddie. They could have gone a lot further with the data they had. So much work put-in,some decent analyses and some useful stuff, but no real "punch lines."I can see where the fights took place - they did not want to admit that there were raccoon dogs or other such animals in the market becase this too would put the "blame" on China and their eating habits. Much better I guess in their judgement to leave open the possibilitySC2 came in on the frozen fish.

Here's the 60 Minutes transcript. https:/(www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-wuhan-origins-60-minutes-2021-03-28/I'm pretty sure they disallowed Daszak from calling a conspiracy theory a conspiracy theory.

Such shit and biased reporting by 60 Minutes - I was not happy after watching. And I did right after the CNN documentary - which was exceptionally poor too (e.g., not a_single_ challenge from Gupta on what e.g., Brix or Redfield were saying - even Fauci was disingenuous multiple times).

@kristian Andersen It was someone called Mustafa Ababneh, Associate Professor of Veterinary Virology, Jordan University of Science and Technology. I am not collaborating with them, they were just suggesting a lineage.

@kristian Andersen We have that variant in the UK too.
