Because the SARS-like virus research was a US-China collaboration, not only do we know scientists had a precise plan in 2018 to create viruses matching the pandemic virus but we also know researchers on these projects might've been among the 1st Covid-19 cases. #OriginOfCovid
What's missing now is a public confirmation of alleged evidence in the US that the 2018 research plan had begun in 2019.
More details on the sick Wuhan scientists' symptoms and date of onset, if declassified, would be immensely helpful to understanding #OriginOfCovid

The most shocking part of this story is that it took 3.5 years for this intel to be shared with the public.
Both current and former US gov officials confirmed the names of the sick Wuhan scientists to the @WSJ

US and Chinese scientists hunting for SARS-like viruses in China did not always wear proper protective gear.
"... it's my judgment that the danger here is low enough that I'm not wearing a mask and I'm not recommending that anybody else wear one either."

Some virologists were flabbergasted when they heard the Wuhan scientists were working with live SARS-like viruses at BSL2. But before the pandemic, no one at journals or funding agencies seemed to flag this as a question or concern.
And then, in 2018, arguably the top SARS-like virus researchers in the US and in China jointly proposed putting furin cleavage sites into live SARS-like viruses in the lab to see how this could affect their ability to grow and cause disease.

First, let's talk about expectations.
From the get-go, it is absolutely clear that there is no #smoking gun or similar to be expected.
The intelligence services all had access to the same information and most assessments are low confidence, with 4 agencies favoring #zoonosis.

Within the 'manmade' mythology, too many unverified stories are taken as gospel truth.
Overall, the best LLs can hope for is that the IC can verify some #circumstantial evidence that they have spun into their #mythology; but honestly, I highly doubt that.

Regarding intel on the sick WIV workers, there are many questions.
Why is this still classified 3+ years after the pandemic started?
Were these details shared across all IC agencies that assessed #OriginOfCovid in 2021? What about in 2023? If so, which experts were consulted?

The 2018 Defuse proposal not only pitched creating SARS-like viruses with furin cleavage sites.
These scientists said they would build an app for warfighters to assess the risk of spillover of dangerous pathogens in Asia. Seriously.

I'd like them to walk us through exactly what these warfighters wandering around in Asia are going to do if the app tells them that the bats around them have SARS-like viruses.
When I first read the defuse proposal, I had a hard time believing it was authentic. I later confirmed the furin cleavage site insertion plan with one of the authors of the proposal. But this stuff about the utility of their work in combatant command regions...
A page from VIRAL. This is how seriously the Chinese authorities are taking the risks of pandemic viruses circulating in pangolins and other wildlife including raccoon dogs which are bred and sold for fur.

#OriginOfCovid
If there was any perception at all that pangolins and other wildlife pose a national (bio)security risk - the type that can lead to city-wide lockdowns and protests - it does not appear to be reflected in the pandemic response by Chinese authorities.
If the authorities even slightly believed that it was possible the pandemic virus had come from raccoon dogs or pangolins, I expect the farming and trading of these animals would've been completely shut down - no exceptions - in 2020.

Listened to a podcast where a disease ecologist said the words "jump" & "spillover" don't accurately describe the way animal pathogens emerge in humans.
I agree. To me, it's like a shots on goal scenario where a pathogen has to take numerous opportunities to cause an outbreak.

This is why I was perturbed by the abrupt appearance of a pandemic-ready SARS-like virus in a city with no history of SARS-like viruses in its people or markets.
Instead it had a unique lab studying how SARS-like viruses jump between species & infect humanized mice & civets.

With world-leading SARS virus hunters based in Wuhan, you'd think that they would know if SARS-like viruses were taking shots on goal in their city center.
Instead they used their own city's population as a negative control for exposure to SARS-like viruses. Zero shots on goal.

Huanan market map from the Chinese CDC paper.
Most Covid cases were on the west side of the market, which had total retail space >9 NFL fields. But cases did not correlate with sale of wildlife and do not even cluster around the wildlife stalls.

We also know from the Chinese CDC data that the areas associated with the raccoon dog stall were aggressively oversampled.
Market had 678 stalls.
About 1 in 6 of the total samples were taken from that 1 raccoon dog stall's areas in the market and warehouse.

@nytimes @dwallacewells Dr Fauci responded that he sleeps fine and the suggestion that he needs to worry that NIH funded research that started the pandemic is troublesome to him.

At this part, I would've wanted to ask whether Dr Fauci was briefed on the defuse proposal by Ralph Baric in 2020 and what he thinks of the striking match between the proposed engineered viruses and the pandemic virus.

@jbloom_lab I can understand the first few times a journalist gets misled by scientists that lab #OriginOfCovid is not plausible + there is dispositive evidence for market spillover.
But if you keep getting misled by the same scientists for years, you might've become an accomplice or tool.

Part of the problem is censorship from the Chinese gov, which caused evidence & samples relating to early cases to be hidden or destroyed.
But another part of the problem is the journals & databases that didn't come forward with these manuscripts - whether retracted or rejected.

As a result, the window of time in which the virus is estimated to have first infected a human person is still as wide as September to November 2019.
E.g. the raccoon dog proponents say the first infection was only on Nov 18, 2019.

You can choose whether or not to believe that the Chinese CDC is sharing their full data from the Huanan market.
Regardless, the data they provided, due to bias, sparsity & lateness of sampling, does not indicate a non-human animal source of the virus at Huanan.

The surprising thing to me is that this work with live bats had already been ongoing in 2009. A whole decade before Covid-19.
One thing that any respectable #OriginOfCovid investigation or commission must do is to build a consensus on the known and suspected earliest cases in China and overseas. We cannot move forward until we have this clarified.
This requires a systematic analysis of the news coverage and scientific articles describing early cases in China and elsewhere, as well as interviews of foreign doctors and others who were visiting Wuhan in late 2019.
It's impossible to reach a high confidence assessment on #OriginOfCovid with a window as wide as the first human infection happening any time between September and mid-November 2019.
Never thought I'd see experts and journalists insisting that a lab-acquired infection is not a lab leak but a zoonosis.
At this point, how can anyone in the public understand what these experts actually mean when they say an outbreak started from zoonotic spillover?
At this point, how can anyone in the public understand what these experts actually mean when they say an outbreak started from zoonotic spillover?
If evidence turns up that a precursor of the pandemic virus was being worked with in a Wuhan lab - without evidence of genetic engineering - are these experts going to say "See, we were right. It was a zoonotic spillover!"
If scientists get infected in the lab and it spreads out into their city, are they going to tell their biosafety officer, "There wasn't a lab leak. Zoonosis happened."
