Journalistic masterpiece - object & thorough.
Agree with many sharing it that it is a must-read for understanding the origin.
Since this is a very long article, let me share some notes in case they save anyone's time.

If you have only one minute, these two paragraphs have the essence:
2/ Image
This article essentially turns what the WHO believes to be the most unlikely - lab leak - to the most likely.
3/ Image
It shows how compromised the research community is.
I have always been puzzled by the ubiquitous presence of Daszak defending the WIV. It is like asking a suspect's close friend to investigate the crime.
4/
Image
The natural emergence hypothesis cannot explain a lot of things that happened in China.
5/x Image
Please remember this key phrase Gain-of-Function (GOF). In former CDC director Redfield's plain English, it means making the virus "grow better and better and better" (e.g., very infective like corona). The WIV was doing this with our tax money.
6/x
Image
Shi, who subcontracted from Daszak, was busy creating highly infectious viruses. The CCP has issued orders to have the tightest control of any information regarding the virus from Chinese scientists. What are they trying to hide?
7/x ImageImage
Spike protein from corona has killed over 3 million people by now.
Daszak was glowingly talked about the success of the WIV in reprogramming the spike protein.
This may sound like a conspiracy theory, but it is a verifiable fact!
8/x ImageImage
The WIV was cooking very dangerous viruses that should be in a BSL4 lab. They have a questionable one, but most importantly, Shi's work is done mainly at BSL2 (i.e., US dentist office safety level).
Do you trust a US dentist playing highly infectious viruses in his office?
9/x ImageImage
Three people from the WIV fell sick with Covid symptoms within a week. We do not know how many more considering how tight the CCP controls the access.
What is the odd for this to be unrelated to the viruses they were cooking?
10/x Image
If you just want to know a little bit more technical details about how corona gets into a cell with the help of its spike protein, then wreaks havoc in the cell and replicates itself, this succinct paragraph suffices.
11/x Image
Ons strong evidence is related to the furin cleavage site that is brilliant and critical for corona invasion. These two paragraphs tell us the odds for the site to be created by a lab are much higher than that of natural creation.
12/x ImageImage
I am very familiar with NIH grants and I know subcontracting has little to do with NIH heads, so I was defending Fauci regarding the WIV subcontract though I am not his fan. No more after reading these two paragraphs. They have to answer some questions.
13/x ImageImage
This article should be a go-to reference for corona origin until new significant evidence is found.
If only 10% of journos published articles as objective and thorough as this one, the world would be much better.

To answer the CCP’s call to celebrate its 100th anniversary, I am writing a long thread that will end on July 1st, its birthday, trying once more to convince people that the CCP is not a communist political organization as it claims and many Westerners believe, but a mafia.
1/
The Chinese word for this type of organization is 帮会 or 黑帮. The following thread is my prior attempt 👇
2/
The CCP has remained the same since its founding. The middle school dropout (MSD) has been repeatedly emphasizing this. This makes it possible to see the CCP’s nature by looking at a snapshot of a period.

Allow me to use a true story to show you how the PRC’s grid system, a textbook version of Orwellian system, works.
The CCP has turned the PRC into a giant grid and each citizen belongs to a grid cell under the care of a grid officer in addition to cops, etc.

I kept close contact with this person throughout the entire incident. Hope you can understand why I mask his identity and the event.
2/9
Not too long ago, he was at a spot of an event that is perfectly legal according to every law, but highly undesirable for the CCP and involving a person who has long been a thorn in their eye.

The 120-page WHO’s report on corona origin is another propaganda coup for the CCP. It is essentially a report by CCP’s loyal scholars stamped by the WHO.
Actually, its data unintentionally support the plausibility of the lab leak hypothesis.

The team consists of 17 Chinese and 10 international experts, 7 support staff.
For the 1st 2 weeks, “the international team members remained in quarantine and worked exclusively with Chinese experts through video/teleconference calls”.
2/8
For the second half, “Chinese public health regulations required that the international team remained under health monitoring. As a result, all site visits, meetings and interviews proposed by international experts were planned and agreed in advance.”

Happy Lunar New Year!
I refer to Xi Jinping as the middle school dropout (MSD) out of frustration over many people treating him as a strategic and logical thinker, hence overestimating the effectiveness of his policies. Please allow me to explain his limited IQ.
1/ 12
Let me acknowledge up front the MSD’s skills in the CCP’s internal fighting though the possibility of him ending up being persecuted as he has done many of his political enemies is distinct.
2/12
He did have normal education in privileged schools until 13 years old thanks to his father, a senior CCP official.

In light the CCP’s usual absurd allegation of a hostile force’s “black hand” behind the HK protests, let’s keep in mind that the CCP was completely created, funded and sustained by a hostile foreign force - the 3rd International (i.e. Comintern) headquartered in Moscow. 1/5
1.Comintern representative Grigori Voitinsky and his colleagues went to China in 1920 in the disguise of newspaper editors with the MISSION to found the CCP.
2.They financed Socialist Youth Corps first. 2/5
3.Voitinsky established close relationship with all the prominent communists in China – Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu, and established Comintern China Branch. 3.1/5
