Here's a report that is very pertinent to the Pompeo tweet. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/who-report-says-covid-originated-in-bats-but-critics-claim-the-study-was-biased Daszak does a very good job here IMO. Mile's Yu also inthe report was Pompeo's main point man on China - deep seated familial hatred of CCP/China. I suspect that Alina's family has similar stores to tell.

She did a good job - was just chatting with Angie this morning too about the info in the report of more than one market being involved in the early cases - didn't know then we were going to be quoted together.

She's so good - I would never want to get into an argument with her. I'd be dead/

Relman really is an idiot - I actually thought he was a good, solid scientist. Apparently not - doesn't understand "data" and "false equivalences". I guess he isn't alone. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-03-31 at 12.56.43.png]

Agreed - Another one who didn't read/understand the report.

The evidence is pretty well laid out in Annex D

If you go to the end PBS actually does some real reporting - they quote 3 current White House staff to the effect that the Pompeo DoS "fact sheet" was cherry-picked out of a cacophony of noise.
