I propose we set up a new commission to investigate all the commissions [2021-04-14 13:36:31] [Robert Garry] I hope K you get to talk to a journo or 2 - On that topic Jamie trying to keep in the news https://jamiemetzl.com/10-questions-for-zhao-lijian/ Each of the 10 questions predicated on the grand conspiracy that Shi had SC2 and is covering up and lying. Meanwhile Jamie, Pottinger etc getting the softballs on Fox News and journos like Slate apparently unable to ask Alina a hard question. Makes me want to vomit. [2021-04-14 13:41:55] [Eddie Holmes] So, is the idea that they knew there was a lab leak in September and took down their databases then, but didn't actually tell anyone or do anything for 3 months? Seriously? [2021-04-14 13:42:21] [Kristian Andersen] "Unable to ask a hard question" - that was essentially what I told Jim - that I was deeply disappointed that he never challenged ANY of his subjects with a single relevant question. [2021-04-14 13:42:35] [Kristian Andersen] Yes, Eddie. That's what happened. [2021-04-14 13:46:15] [Eddie Holmes] Madness. Methhead is also completely wrong about RaTG13. [2021-04-14 13:56:47] [Eddie Holmes] Fascinating biology though: those supposed cases at WIV were in November, which means that the initial incubation period was 2 months from the initial lab leak. What an amazing virus. [2021-04-14 13:57:46] [Kristian Andersen] Anything is possible, you know. [2021-04-14 14:17:32] [Robert Garry] Doesn't have to make any logical sense - just has to sound ominous. No science involved at all. I'm convinced that all or most of the Parisites and their sycophants (like Lipstich and Relman) couldn't care less about origins - they are simply looking to be in the news and/or re-litigate old lost battles.

[2021-04-14 15:19:22] [Robert Garry] And, someone ? has decided that keeping "pressure" on China over "transparency" is good politics or policy or both. [2021-04-14 15:19:56] [Robert Garry] Science and logic be damned - so sad. [2021-04-14 15:38:49]
