   Ha. I suggested on Twitter it was as likely that some one from USAMRIID infected themself and then flew to Wuhanas it was for someone from WIV to have leaked it. I will ask Beijing for a bung.

   I mean you can't prove they didn't.

   And there are direct flights from US to Wuhan - coincidence? I don't think so.

   So will USAMRIID open their books for a "forensic" evaluation? Porton Down? Winnepeg? I think not.

   It's frankly insane - USAMRIID is not going to release info all the projects that they have ongoing on emerging infectious disease vaccines and countermeasures. Same with the others. Might as well write a blueprint for terroristorgs.

   Just pure insanity all around. And the main issue here is the false equivalence - there's this sense that unless wehave 100% proof, we can't know one way or the other. Simply not true - given current evidence, we can give a very strong statement about how this happened - unless somebody brings credible data about a lab leak, we already know what happened and just need to figure out the exact details.
