    https://elpais.com/ciencia/2021-05-13/un-grupo-de-destacados-cientificos-pide-una-autentica-investigacion-del-origen-de-la-pandemia.html "Epidemiologist Ian Lipkin , a world authority on emerging pathogens, was another of five experts who in March 2020 pointed to a natural origin of the coronavirus as the most likely hypothesis. His speech now sounds more skeptical. "We may never know the origin of SARS-CoV-2. I am concerned that scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology did not take adequate precautions when cultivating bat viruses, "Lipkin explains to ELPAÍS. The epidemiologist, from Columbia University (USA), cites research with dangerous viruses carried out inWuhan before the pandemic in laboratories with a medium level of biosafety." I might have said something too.

    Never has the name Butt Lesion been so appropriate.

    I am now glad we got him on the origins paper - makes him look like a swithering idiot.

    Currently dealing with the shit show that is B.1.617.2 (it is always the lineages with 1s and 7s in it). Might be a bitpreoccupied for a bit.
