[2020-09-22 05:02:29] [Robert Garry] Looking forward to Eddie's GVN talk as well. [2020-09-22 07:01:23] [Robert Garry] Well done! [2020-09-22 10:24:08] [Robert Garry] So much for letting science drive the analysis: https://hk.appledaily.com/china/20200921/JENA7RUJHZHYXBMZ6ZN5WSDGME/ [2020-09-22 10:24:43] [Robert Garry] Yan Limeng claimed to publish a second paper, which will present all the characteristics of the virus. (the Internet) A A A After Li Meng Yan, a former researcher at the School of Public Health of Hong Kong University and a Chinese virologist who fled to the United States, posted on Twitter last Monday (14) alleging that the Chinese military laboratory produced the Wuhan pneumonia virus, her Twitter account was immediately blocked. In an interview with the "Talkradio 77 WABC" radio station on Sunday (20th), she pointed out that the Wuhan pneumonia virus is an enhanced version of the SARS virus, and that the CCP may release other viruses. Yan Limeng said that she will publish a second report soon, claiming that together with the first report before, it will show all the characteristics of the Wuhan pneumonia virus, and referring to the unusual characteristics of the virus and the explanation of how China can produce the virus. And the expertise of the Chinese government and their laboratories found that the virus was changed to specifically target humans in the laboratory. As for whether there is a vaccine for Wuhan pneumonia in China, Yan Limeng pointed out that China uses traditional methods to produce the virus, but vaccine development and antidote are another matter. "First of all, this (virus) is an enhanced version of SARS-1..., but until today We know that there is still no vaccine for SARS-1." Regarding the future global epidemic, she said: "(The virus) has caused a historical pandemic. Because it is highly contagious and there is no effective way to control it, the most important thing is that it was deliberately released from the laboratory. So there will be viruses that are released again and again, maybe even other types of mutants or viruses, so we should not expect that the virus will be controlled quickly and everything will return to normal. This is impossible." Yan Limeng emphasized, "The only thing we have to do is to solve the virus from the root cause, just like treating a patient, you must understand the cause of the disease in order to be able to treat it effectively. The root cause here is the CCP. They are responsible and conduct a thorough investigation. This is the solution to the virus." [2020-09-22 10:58:00] [Robert Garry] Unfortunately, the agency that formerly tried to live up to it's name (CDC) has shed any pretense that they are anything but a political arm of the Trump White House. The FDA is following right around the corner.

Haven't read that response yet - any good? [2020-09-22 14:37:10]
