Angie and SG [shared file(s): We may never know where the virus came from. But evidence still suggests nature. - The Washington Post.pdf] [2021-06-04 07:37:41] [Kristian Andersen] Any good? Won't be able to read for an hour or so.. [2021-06-04 07:39:07] [Robert Garry] It's fine - 99% of the public's eyes will glaze over - the head's of the TFHs and Bloomshitters will explode... [2021-06-04 09:14:06] [Robert Garry] This from BBC interview I just did for half the morning. [shared file(s): image.png] [2021-06-04 09:16:24] [Kristian Andersen] Let's hope they don't cut it down to a 10sec sound bite and distort the crap out of it! [2021-06-04 09:21:19] [Robert Garry] Yes - with the proper editing it could probably be made to say: Reinstate the one true President, Donald J. Trump. [2021-06-04 09:43:38] [Kristian Andersen] From the journo Eddie was talking to - "the pangolins WIV was using in CoV studies". Wait, what? Do we know about WIV working in pangolin CoVs in the lab? If so, that's huge - I haven't heard anything about that. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-06-04 at 9.42.11 AM.png] [2021-06-04 09:47:22] [Robert Garry] He must be mistaken - maybe he taking about the original pango studies that were reported in 2019 viruses paper. And yes Eddies on some of the pango papers and I think a para flu papers where they are sick with C19-like illnesses. [2021-06-04 09:48:39] [Kristian Andersen] I think so too - and I just followed up with him about that, plus this. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-06-04 at 9.48.17 AM.png] [2021-06-04 09:49:28] [Kristian Andersen] If he can find evidence of pangolins at the Huanan market and link that back to e.g., that wildlife rescue center, holy smokes - I mean, that would be an actual smoking gun. A big one. [2021-06-04 09:49:59] [Kristian Andersen] (a smoking gun for wildlife trade > rescue centers > dead animals > human food chain) [2021-06-04 09:50:51] [Kristian Andersen] It's actually not crazy - a dead pangolin is no good in a wildlife rescue center, but it's HIGHLY valuable in a wet market. Bloody hell - if true, this would be so obvious. [2021-06-04 10:19:51]
