FWIW Farrar and Fauci did _exactly_ as they were supposed to do - take somewhat outlandish claims very seriously, launched a scientific investigation, alerted the relevant entities, and then stepped back to let science bescience. A+ effort.

    Worldwide conspiracy to suppress the truth about an outbreak when - on Jan31 there were about 10K cases worldwide. The vast majority in China (>9500).

    It's an attack on truth and on science

    This idea that there was some sort of "lab leak suppression campaign" is preposterous and dangerous - I mean, why the FUCK would anybody outside China try to suppress that if we thought it were true? Just doesn't make any sense. People have lost their minds. Period.

    "Bio-security expert Richard Ebright said that he was 'shocked' Farrar has given such weight to the 'pseudoscientificanalysis'."

    Bio-security expert Richard Ebright - who has contributed a tremendous amount of scholarly work during this pandemic. Makes me sick. :face_vomiting:

    However, long game. That makes me feel good.
