Dear @NPR @FoodieScience it's become quite clear to me that you need help with researching what questions to ask the WHO-China team and SARS experts. Please reach out. I can also recommend top experts of indisputable renown that you should be interviewing.

Linfa Wang says there were SARS2-positive samples in the live animal section - were these the environmental samples that have already been analyzed, suggesting introduction by an infected human into the Huanan seafood market, rather than any on-site animal to human spillover?
Because we already know that zero of the animal samples from the Huanan seafood market tested positive for SARS virus.

No need to take the @WSJ journalists' word - it's in the WHO-China press conference too!
"all the samples related to the animal products or animals were all negative"

I'd like to echo the people who have pointed out @NPR among other new orgs repeatedly neglected to declare the reasonably perceived COIs of Peter Daszak and Linfa Wang on this topic of where SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 came from, particularly if they claim to be studying lab origins.
"The two.. co-authored dozens of papers.. team up in karaoke bars to sing classic Chinese ballads, says Peter Daszak.. longtime collaborator with Wang and Shi. “Linfa is an excellent singer and to see him and Shi Zhengli do a duet is very special.”"

This whole saga is aging me.
I very much appreciate the opportunities I’ve been given to speak on podcasts and to many journalists about the origins of covid-19.
But the scale of this problem is too large for internet sleuths and dilettantes like myself to handle now.

If the media continues to amplify experts with reasonably perceived COIs, and no back up arrives to protect scientists accused of spreading misinformation/conspiracy theories..
Well, I’ll see you when another pandemic breaks out next to a lab where similar pathogens are studied.

Some people are deeply unaware but here, read this real email involving the 2 interviewed experts that was FOIAed: “We'll then put (the Lancet letter) out in a way that doesn't link it back to our collaboration so we maximize an independent voice.” usrtk.org/wp-content/upl…
The long time professional and personal relationship between these parties and their interests in making sure this pandemic didn’t originate from virus hunting/research activities.
We know it. They know it. @NPR doesn’t seem to know it 🥲
