```The head Parisite Jamie Metzl asked her about the military working at WIV - she said she was the director - part of CAS - all research open and that information was incorrect. ``` [2021-03-23 10:31:59] [Kristian Andersen] Haha, there you go - and he's SUCH an idiot [2021-03-23 12:25:16] [Robert Garry] They are so dishonest - purposefully misquoting Shi. [shared file(s): image.png, image.png] [2021-03-23 12:26:48] [Robert Garry] Of course, it would not matter what Shi said - they would claim victory anyway. [2021-03-23 12:50:52] [Robert Garry] Not sure what happened here - WashPost. [shared file(s): Where Are We in Finding the Coronavirus's Origin_ - The Washington Post.pdf] [2021-03-23 13:36:54] [Robert Garry] I occurred to me that while we live in a country with freedom of speech it's not clear to me how the Metzl feels that it was appropriate to hijack Shi's scientific talk to promote his future books and speaking engagements. [2021-03-23 13:44:54] [Eddie Holmes] Military research. So idiotic. The reality is that the only shot the west had at looking at WIV was the WHO trip and that was a one off. People like the WaPo can moan all they like but there's no way China will let another team in. All this posturing may sell books but it's game over when it comes to finding out what they had. [2021-03-23 14:00:55] [Robert Garry] The SC2 positive grate under your raccoon dog cage is all I really care about at this point. Plus I am pretty sure I heard that most of the other SC2 positive environmental swabs were taken the stalls where they sold the live animals. That's a pretty big coincidence - the virus leaked from the WIV precisely all the way to that grate that had just been under a live animal that just happened to be in a market selling wild animals. I predict another move of the goalposts however - CCP must have planted the samples there. [2021-03-23 14:32:10] [Eddie Holmes] Completely agree. Balls in WHO's court now.

Tell me how that translates to "secret." [2021-03-23 15:13:31]
