I like the Fauci ink blot test at the bottom: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57336280

    What a mess. Fauci did everything right.

    We all did - and do. Doesn't matter - too good a conspiracy. SLACK_001122 But, that also doesn't matter - it's all about the long-game and hence that paper is important. I'll get back to ittomorrow.

    Hah, yeah, that ink blot test is :100: spot on. These emails fit whatever narrative you believe.

    I don't know what Trevor is on about - the first tweet in that thread is outright false: "We now have mainstream scientific opinions that largely range between "lab leak can be dismissed" and "both zoonosis and lab leak are viable" Eh, no - nobody said we could dismiss anything. We said it was unsupported and highly unlikely. Also, we're not talking about uninformed priors here - there's _actual_ data, which Trevor knows well.

    Confidentially - it will be in the next PHE Tech Brief - but it is not good. Modellers have really consolidated around a50% transmissibility advantage over B.1.1.7 (I am not sure I am quite comfortable with that yet because there islarge heterogeneity of R in time and place - which makes less sense if it is all due to an inherent advantage). Also evidence of higher rate of hospital admissions from two independent studies. And evidence of a significant vaccine effect. Really not good. I just hope some of this is not the case.Is there any evidence of growth in the USA? If the above is true I would imagine it is going to flare up all over the place.

    "Hello, My name is Daniel Payne. I'm a reporter with Just the News. I hope you're well. I have been reviewing the major release of Dr. Anthony Fauci's emails from last year. In one sequence of emails Inoticed you were part of an early February 2020 conference call involving several experts discussing what appearsto be, at least in part, gain-of-function research. Can you offer any insight into what that conversation was about? What was discussed in it? What was concluded? Are you able to provide any documentation from the phone call? Thanks so much. I'm also at i.DanielYeah right.
