"Public health agencies and research laboratories alike need to open their records to the public." Let the record show that these scientists are accusing Tony Fauci and Francis Collins of being culpable in the alleged cover-up. This is the same talking point of the Republicans in their letter to the WH. [2021-05-10 14:07:06] [Kristian Andersen] Correct. False equivalence. All the data we have so far supports a natural origin - the only one missing is the intermediate host. Which may or may not exist and also wouldn't satisfy the likes of eDim. [2021-05-10 14:07:44] [Kristian Andersen] I laughed when I saw ""Public health agencies and research laboratories alike need to open their records to the public."". I mean, how naive are these people? [2021-05-10 14:07:56] [Kristian Andersen] I assume David will personally go collect the lab books himself? [2021-05-10 14:08:39] [Robert Garry] Self-serving and hypocritical: "We should show the same determination in promoting a dispassionate science-based discourse on this difficult but important issue." Don't call us racist for accusing leading Chinese scientists of cover-up and conspiracy. [2021-05-10 14:11:13] [Robert Garry] It truly was written by Alina "I'm just asking questions" Chan. Disappointing that there were so many supposedly serious scientists with FOMO. [2021-05-10 14:12:29] [Eddie Holmes] Exactly. Makes me puke. [2021-05-10 14:14:50] [Robert Garry] I'm with you Eddie - very disappointing. [2021-05-10 14:18:12] [Robert Garry] Now they have _Science_ throwing it's considerable cachet behind Lab Leak . And spreading the nonsense that the WHO report had no clear findings in support of natural origin - the opposite is true. [2021-05-10 14:18:20] [Kristian Andersen] Interesting - shortened version of Wade's article in the NY Post. This time omitting the criticism of yours truly... https://nypost.com/2021/05/09/theory-that-covid-escaped-from-a-lab-may-not-be-far-fetched/ [2021-05-10 14:26:15] [Robert Garry] Too bad - would have "loved" to have seen @Kristian Andersen on the cover of the Post. [shared file(s): image.png, image.png, image.png, image.png] [2021-05-10 14:26:52] [Robert Garry] It's such a reputable rag.
