Wuhan Institute of Virology collaboration

June 12, 2012 - Had dinner over my house with the 3 week-day bachelors (i.e. their wives live and work in different cities): Harold Varmus (Connie in NYC); Gary Nabel (Betsy in Boston); and Eric Goosby (Nancy in San Francisco).

From a review of their experimental details, it looks as if they were generating recombinant DNA of the viruses using WIV1 as the backbone but I could not determine if they were using Seemless Cloning techniques.

Reading Room Production, p.5 · original PDF · in context

Nothing has changed in terms of prior risk of lab accident, but the issue is that we're dealing with the fact that WIV has been doing culturing of bat CoVs for over a decade exactly to understand what it takes for these viruses toemerge in humans (in BSL-2).

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.71 · original PDF · in context

A lot of the GOF work on SARS-like CoVs is also from WIV, although there are also other labs that have been doing that (e.g., Baric).

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.71 · original PDF · in context

But that work isn't exclusively done at the WIV because as you say yourself the Baric lab are doing it.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.72 · original PDF · in context

> But that work isn't exclusively done at the WIV because as you say yourself the Baric lab are doing it No, that work _is_ exclusively at WIV AFAIK.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.72 · original PDF · in context

There is a third way - a commission - WHO or other - to look into the proximal origins - would give WIV a chance toclear themselves.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.77 · original PDF · in context

Furthermore, WIV hasn't exactly been hiding RaTG13, but they may be itching to get back there as well.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.95 · original PDF · in context

As I said above, all this suggests to me is that the only interesting virus they have at the WIV is RaTG13 and not another that they were secretly working on that gave riseto SARS-CoV-2.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.95 · original PDF · in context

It's the second time I have noticed him being a complete arse - the other time was amplifying that idiotic WaPo WIV story.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.128 · original PDF · in context

NBC News correspondent Janis MacKey Frayer was granted a tour of the WIV BSL 4 labs on Friday -- the first international correspondent to do so since the Covid outbreak.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.132 · original PDF · in context

Because that was several months ago now (feels like a lifetime ago!),I wanted to get an update from you as to whether you still feel that it is impossible orimprobable that the outbreak started from the WIV labs in any form.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.132 · original PDF · in context

Apparently, the Wuhan Institute of Virology were manipulating sun spots in the lab.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.147 · original PDF · in context

Presumably though, if these reads are real surely they must be contamination from other sequencing experiments at WIV.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.197 · original PDF · in context

The concern here is that we know that type of work was going on at WIV (the EgoHealth stuff), so we certainly can't dismiss it based on this.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.208 · original PDF · in context

Scientists such as Lipkin and this Anderson, as well as such scientists as Malik, PanLiewen, Cao Wuchun, Chen Wei, Chen Fang, Shi Zhengli, etc., show the degeneration of human nature, the loss and sorrow of the scientific spirit.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.219 · original PDF · in context

(and one pretty critical thing against the bonkers theories in the paper - wouldn't WIV have been mentioned in theBioSample had the virus come from there....? :man-shrugging:)

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.245 · original PDF · in context

On an unrelated note, I see that in the lastest issue of Vince Racinello's TWiV one his guests is Mady Honig...the same Mady Honig who inspected that lesion on Ian Lipkin's butt.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.256 · original PDF · in context

BTW - The other guest with the BL inspector was David Tully who VR has been supporting via TWiV in a long-standing but lesser known than the MMR war against Lancet over some chronic fatigue/ME papers.

Another point is that I've seen a lot of pics of the WIV krewe and others climbing down in the caves.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.324 · original PDF · in context

And if these unsequenced viruses that are true of cause SARS-CoV-2 exist in the WIV then they also exist in far less regulated environments in caves inYunnan province.

The New Pango Cambobat CoV plus the new Yunnan Bat CoVs looks to melike it will -or at least should - lay to rest the notion that RaTG13, RmYN02, pango CoVs (GD, GX ) were some sortof elaborate fake genome dump hastily contrived in the weeks after the first SC2 cases emerged to cover up the accidental or deliberated release of the GOF/bioweapons research at WIV.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.439 · original PDF · in context

Obviously, part of the well-thought out nefarious plan by the CCP red army, WIV supervillain virologists and their space alien advisors from the future to release a virus with suboptimal FCS/RBD that they projected would evolve (after it left China) into the more fit/immunologically inert variants currently spreading around the world.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.440 · original PDF · in context

I doubt if the 3 hours the WHO spent at WIV yesterday is going to appease many people.

A lab origin of SC2 is possible *ONLY IF WIV ALREADY* had SC2 or a virus 99% similar to SC2.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.493 · original PDF · in context

Stated another way- the only way SC2 is a product of GOF research is if WIV had preSC2 aka the 99% progenitor already.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.493 · original PDF · in context

I sense that Daszak is increasingly bullish about excluding WIV.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.496 · original PDF · in context

And, any case within 100 km of WIV is going to be taken as conclusive evidence for the leak in the literal sense.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.508 · original PDF · in context

@Eddie Holmes Hoping to see the argument fleshed out that there is no evidence that WIV had and was working on SC2 or a 99%+ CoV before the outbreak.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.508 · original PDF · in context

Let's face it, identifying a lab weak from WIV is a Yale lock with a credit card for the security services and yet they have fuck all.

Civil - but a lot of the stuff he discussed about the WIV research was naive (e.g., not realizing that pseudotyped viruses don't constitute a risk, not knowing many of these viruses are replication incompetent, etc.).

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.616 · original PDF · in context

The reality is that the only shot the west had at looking at WIV was the WHO trip and that was a one off.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.622 · original PDF · in context

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.

He's going to push the theory that SARS-CoV-2 is a product of military research at WIV.

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.635 · original PDF · in context

But important to be clear - if you think there were sick workers at WIV that's nowby definition a conspiracy and cover-up.3.

The WIV claim that (i) all their staff were PCR/antibody negative to SARS-CoV-2 and (ii) that they don't have a virus more closely related to SARS-CoV-2 than RaTG13.

And it's not just the Chinese govt that are misleading as Pompeo rants, but scientists at WIV who publish in top journals.

Here's the actual statement from me about the miners (what was in an email to him that I did not know was going to be quoted and he never told me this): "The researchers at the WIV state that they have not closer virus to SARS-CoV-2 than RaTG13, and RaTG13 is clearly not the source of SARS-CoV-2 (it's far too distant).

Slack / Private Message Drop, p.709 · original PDF · in context

Zhengli also stated in a public talk a month or so ago - the one in which Metzl harangued her about the CCP army -that the eight or nine distantly related coronaviruses they found in the mine and just haven't yet worked up are are part of an upcoming publication.

Relman (2020) speculated that closer relatives of SARS-CoV-2 than RatG13 existed at WIV that have not been revealed to the world.

The closest relative to SARS-CoV-2 is not from the WIV: i.e. it's not RaTG13 because sequence similarity variesso much across the genome because of recombination.
