Scientists outraged by Peter Daszak leading enquiry into possible #Covid19 lab leak gmwatch.org/en/news/latest… Lead investigator considered one of the most conflicted & unreliable voices on the origins of the pandemic. “Can't imagine a lead investigator with more vested interests!”

Lead investigator Peter Daszak
☛has a $100M+ conflict of interest
☛is a long-term pal, collaborator & funder of those he's investigating
☛has previously dismissed any possibility of a lab leak as “crackpot”
☛has a track record of seriously inaccurate and misleading statements

Daszak has promised to investigate the pandemic's origins “with an open mind”. But Daszak's previously dismissed any suggestions that SARS-CoV-2 could have leaked from a lab as “preposterous”, “baseless”, “crackpot”, “conspiracy theories” & “pure baloney” gmwatch.org/en/news/latest…

Every one of the scathing criticisms of Peter Daszak and his appointment that we quoted in our article, almost all from well-credentialed experts, were taken from social media. Press reports of the news of Daszak's appointment failed to print a single word of concern from anybody

Only a culture of censorship around the origins of #COVID19 seems to explain the difficulty in getting evidence published in journals—or how internet giants that have failed to combat rampant racism & climate change disinfo have rushed to suppress material suggesting a lab leak.
