Do we honestly believe anything the WHO says about the origins of the Wuhan virus?

We need an independent, multinational team of scientists to investigate this lab.

Even then, China's immediate actions as the virus struck lead me to believe that any evidence has been destroyed

Going a step further, there should be a UN and Washington-led moratorium on Gain of Function research until this investigation is complete.

I read the ethics papers published during the US moratorium from 2014-2017. If there's even a shade of possibility that this research ...

... led to what we just experienced -- and there most certainly IS a possibility, even a probability -- it strikes me that we should STOP right now and re-evaluate the pursuit as a whole.

I know things were a hectic, but I find it rather shocking the ease with which the NYT invented a story about a credentialed reporter out of whole cloth and then published it.

Given how rapidly the FBI is arresting people, the NYT should take pains to get this stuff right.

@nytimes

For those who don't know, Sunday's @nytimes published an image of @RichieMcGinniss, referred to him as a "rioter" and said he was engaged in violent activity at the capitol.

NONE OF THIS IS TRUE.

While we’re at it, the NYT correction makes no attempt to correct the implication. Instead, they say the “right wing” reporter was somehow adjacent to the violence and property destruction.

This is sickening behavior from the paper of record. Be up front when you fuck up.

Here is what we know and what we don’t:

1. We know the virus came from bats.
2. We don’t know how it jumped from bats to humans, the missing link
3. We know the kind of bat it came from was hundreds of miles from where the outbreak occurred.
4 ...

We know the lab right beside the outbreak was studying how viruses evolve to jump species.

5 We know this is called gain of function research.

6 We know this research was briefly banned in the US bec it has the potential to create, yes create, highly transmissible new pathogens

7. We also know that several of the naysayers say this virus is like 95% genetically similar to viruses already present in nature.

8. But we know that many of these naysayers have a vested financial interest in preserving this research.

9. And we know that it’s not

@brianstelter

I’m not sure why you included us in this round up, @brianstelter ... we have not been boosting the president’s fraud allegations. Actually we’ve been doing the exact opposite. I would ask for a correction, but I’m pretty sure this is intentional dishonesty.

@brianstelter

I’m legitimately wondering if you’ve got anything to say here, @brianstelter

@brianstelter

This post led our coverage on the site November 9, @brianstelter, just days after the election. So, again, I’m not sure what methodology you used in your casual slander of our company. dailycaller.com/2020/11/09/mai…
