It will be interesting to see what Daszak, Koopsman and others have to say about RelBloomshit. Surely they are not going to sit still and agree about the "no clear evidence."

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

That's super interesting @Eddie Holmes Yes indeed I'm glad they are looking so hard!

I was typing this: JC is one of a handful of science journo that could get this right. He's probably non to happy _Science_ is publishing this crap. I find it interesting they give a Editorial credit to Jennifer Sills. On further reflectionof RelBloomshit the the two things that piss me off the most are: 1. the assertion that there is "no clear evidence" for natural origin in the WHO report and 2. "Not racists, however, the Chinese scientists, authorities, and public health officials are lying." 1 is an argument from authority meant to demean a scientific conclusion they don't like andconfuse ppl, while 2 is a self-serving plea to ignore the fact that they are proposing a massive cover-up and conspiracy.

My strategy now is try and do as much with China as I can get an insight into what the fuck is going on. Totally agree with your take Bob. #2 is really, really sleazy.

That they are looking so bloody hard suggests to me that they clearly think it is natural. Why bother if it's engineered? SLACK_000988

Surely not. All the WHO team have seen it.

@Eddie Holmes A random thought - why is eDim not a signer of RelBloomshit? Going direct at NIH OD Collins maybe too radical? Any journo that really wanted to sink in teeth would find the motherload. [shared file(s): image.png]
