Again the Politifact article - "The lab leak theory is distinct from the hypothesis that gain-of-function research created the new coronavirus, said Alina Chan, a molecular biologist at the Broad Institute of Harvard University and theMassachusetts Institute of Technology. The lab leak theory "can be as simple as a *researcher being infected by an animal or even another infected person*in remote areas, and then bringing it into one of the most densely populated cities on Earth." The gain-of-function hypothesis supposes both that a virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute and that scientists there tampered with it inways that could have made it more infective or deadly."

So, if a virologist takes a field trip to Southern China and gets infected *FROM ANOTHER PERSON* that is somehow a Lab Leak. On the basis of this we want to shut down virologists and BSL3/4 labs. Why is this lunacy given an credence whatsoever?
-
Lunacy. What if it was a botanist or a palaeontologist?

This is good - let them go down these crazy paths since it makes the bloomshitters look even dumber as we continue to learn more about how this _actually_ emerged.

"What if it was a botanist or a palaeontologist?" Shut them all down! Fieldwork of ANY kind is too dangerous [says the guy who works with Lassa and Ebola blood samples at hmmmm BLS2+ in Africa].
-
The more they define 'lab escape' as just anything that involves a virologist in someway the less likely it is that it was lab escape because virologists are generally outnumbered by almost every other subdivision of the population.

I think Dr. Quay missed the points but FWIW. Not sure why he can't post.... Dr. Garry- here is a single slide of my approach for your thoughts and comments: SLACK_001047 Regards, Steve On Tue, May 18, 2021 at 11:43 PM Steven Quay, MD, PhD i Sot; wrote: > Dear Dr. Garry- > > Thank you for your recent post on the genomic origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Steve is indeed wrong - he doesn't understand phylogenetics (but A for effort). He can't post because he needs aninvitation to set up an account - I propose we don't give him that invitation since it's all crazy talk... (his 300+ page Bayesian analysis of the origin is a good example..)
