    Just pulling the Baric discussion back to the Zoonati high priesthood - I wonder if the DT letter takes on any newinterpretation given what we now know Baric was planning/doing. Makes it seems like an even weirder play to me.

    The lab leak was not the big thing when he wrote the DT letter Since it has blown up he has tried to distance him from Shi et al He clearly thinks silence works
