    I told Jim I'd take a look. I'll share when I have it.

    Good! https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/who-report-says-covid-originated-in-bats-but-critics-claim-the-study-was-biased Relman is in this interview - and imo - this is probably the GW's best interview. Relman is just going to throwup the same arguments he made here and in the PNAS article.

    It would be good to get some comments from people who aren't us - though.

    • *Dr. Peter Daszak:* • Yes, I have been speaking to them for 15 years. If they had found a virus that was high, of high interest that they were working on, they would have told me before the outbreak, because that's what we were doing before the outbreak.• We shared information on a weekly basis. Yes, some of them answer up the party chain, but they also are scientists. If there is something that the intelligence agencies know that they could supply to the WHO team, they would supply it and we will look at that.

    Daszak is a total charlatan BUT I'd certain he would have known about what was being done at WIV and it talking tohim I'm 100% certain he has no knowledge of anything of note at the WIV. Either that or he's the best liar ever withballs is titanium.

    First time I heard the PBS interview with Relman - did he actually _read_ the report?

    He clearly never looked at the Annexes.
