Self-serving and hypocritical: "We should show the same determination in promoting a dispassionate science-based discourse on this difficult but important issue." Don't call us racist for accusing leading Chinese scientists of cover-upand conspiracy.

"Public health agencies and research laboratories alike need to open their records to the public." Let the record show that these scientists are accusing Tony Fauci and Francis Collins of being culpable in the alleged cover-up.This is the same talking point of the Republicans in their letter to the WH.

It truly was written by Alina "I'm just asking questions" Chan. Disappointing that there were so many supposedly serious scientists with FOMO.

Now they have _Science_ throwing it's considerable cachet behind Lab Leak . And spreading the nonsense that the WHO report had no clear findings in support of natural origin - the opposite is true.
