[Kristian Andersen] Wasn't there a zoo behind the Huanan market too? Any idea if they had pangolins? [2021-04-12 16:36:09] [Eddie Holmes] I'll check with that reporter [2021-04-12 17:20:13] [Eddie Holmes] This was from one of his earlier emails "If it was pangolins infected by bats, there are lots of these little "holding pens" on the pangolin underground railroad in China, often mixed in with other wildlife breeding. Was at one in Guangdong a couple years back where they had some, but apparently had just moved them a week or so before we got there. Everyone around that we spoke with knew they kept pangolins there." [2021-04-12 17:21:38] [Kristian Andersen] Interesting.... [2021-04-12 18:30:16] [Robert Garry] We've got about 50 pangolin sized traps ready to put on the container and a team ready to trap them. Need to navigate the animal use regs, but it's trap, swab, tag (assuming we can find a soft spot) and release so will be interesting to see if West African pangolins have CoVs. [2021-04-12 18:31:21] [Robert Garry] Draw a little blood too! [2021-04-12 19:57:42] [Kristian Andersen] "Just from an Occam's razor standpoint...." :man-facepalming: https://www.mediaite.com/podcasts/the-interview-dr-sanjay-gupta-talks-vaccines-and-wh[...]-weight-to-informed-the ory-that-covid-leaked-from-wuhan-lab/ [2021-04-12 19:59:30] [Kristian Andersen] This part made me laugh out loud. _"He's an experienced virologist. He was also head of the CDC at the time this was happening, which means that in addition to everything that we know, he had access to raw data and raw intelligence that was coming out of China," Gupta told me. "My point is that it's a much more informed sort of thing for him to be saying than for anybody who may have expertise in virology, because he has a lot more knowledge and information that he has that maybe he can't share, but is informing his opinion."_ Sure. That Segreto and Deigin paper hot in his hand... [2021-04-12 23:15:15] [Eddie Holmes] If Redfield has knowledge about anything I'd be impressed [2021-04-13 04:46:44] [Robert Garry] It would be funny if it wasn't yet another attack on virologists. Redfield had the same intelligence that informed Pomeo. Also the same source for Matt Pottinger and Jamie Metzl on 60 Minutes: David Asher, source of the 3 "sick" WIV employees in Nov19 and they same source who told Fox that the CCP Army is making "Super-Soldiers."
