Thank you Eddie - I don't think any of Cambo, Thai and Japan bat papers quite link everything together. Needs to be done... [2021-02-09 13:00:09] [Eddie Holmes] I agree. [2021-02-09 16:20:15] [Robert Garry] https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-who-china-investigation-wu[...]021/02/09/2af3c44c6a79-11eb-a66e-e27046e9e898_story.html "Just saying that they have really good safety protocols is not an answer in my view," said Marc Lipsitch, a professor of epidemiology at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health, who was not among the scientists on the trip. "That alone does not put my mind at rest." "If the only information you're allowing to be weighed is provided by the very people who have everything to lose by revealing such evidence, that just doesn't come close to passing the sniff test," said David A. Relman, a microbiologist at Stanford University."Raina MacIntyre, professor of biosecurity at the University of New South Wales in Australia, was also surprised to see the idea of a lab accident ruled out so quickly. [2021-02-09 16:35:32] [Eddie Holmes] Rubbish reporting! (i) comments only from side; (ii) no reference to the full evidence that will be provided in the report. Just let the anti-GoF people talk why don't you. [2021-02-09 17:18:34] [Robert Garry] Pushback coming but that's expected- I'm guessing Raina who is quoted in the WashPost might not be too happy I called these conspiracy theories on 60 minutes Australia she's also in. [2021-02-09 17:29:52] [Eddie Holmes] She's a renta-gob. Pisses off everyone [2021-02-10 04:46:43] [Robert Garry] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl9nqcgD3ow&feature=emb_logo Maybe not surprising but most of the coverage is saying it still leaked from WIV - this BBC is about as "fair and balanced" as it gets. [2021-02-10 06:21:15] [Robert Garry] And then there is this: "And *even Kristian Andersen*, a prominent US professor of immunology and microbiology who is dismissive of lab leak theories, said he does not find the data linking the virus to frozen foods to be "credible". https://unherd.com/2021/02/the-whos-covid-shame/ [2021-02-10 07:38:00] [Robert Garry] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK8iyaGAg7g A 28 year record [2021-02-10 07:39:38] [Robert Garry] Raina says WHO has to keep its membership happy. [2021-02-10 07:41:31] [Robert Garry] If you listen to the end you find that her dog is not happy... [2021-02-10 08:11:55]
