@Andrew Rambaut Thanks - WHO folks asked again about "peer-review" of the post so I may cut this to 1000 words and submit as Tech Report in response to Bloomshit. Just getting reaction from Bloom and Relman would be worth the effort.

In context

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

The length of that Medium Post though - seems like the start of yet another book for sure.

Haven't read it yet, but from the summary: "... researchers are paying more attention to the possibility that the virus somehow leaked from the lab, though there's still nothing conclusive." Things like that pisses me off - "nothing conclusive" really has to be "no evidence".
