So, is the idea that they knew there was a lab leak in September and took down their databases then, but didn't actually tell anyone or do anything for 3 months? Seriously?

Unless that commission have new data - which of course they don't - it's going to be a complete waste of time

I propose we set up a new commission to investigate all the commissions

I hope K you get to talk to a journo or 2 - On that topic Jamie trying to keep in the news https://jamiemetzl.com/10-questions-for-zhao-lijian/ Each of the 10 questions predicated on the grand conspiracy that Shi had SC2 and is covering up and lying. Meanwhile Jamie, Pottinger etc getting the softballs on Fox News and journos like Slate apparently unable to ask Alina a hard question. Makes me want to vomit.

"Unable to ask a hard question" - that was essentially what I told Jim - that I was deeply disappointed that he neverchallenged ANY of his subjects with a single relevant question.

Fascinating biology though: those supposed cases at WIV were in November, which means that the initial incubation period was 2 months from the initial lab leak. What an amazing virus.
