it’s a very disturbing paper if its findings are verified: not only SARS2 and RaTG13 have signs of genetic manipulation in yeast but SARS1 too.
WIV is known to have eyed yeast reverse genetic systems with interest (see attached WIV thesis

What this means is that instead of having to reconstruct the viral DNA first before introducing it into cells, you instead “put all these fragments in the yeast and it magically puts them together,” says Weiss.

Critical Examination of 3 Related Studies on SARS-CoV-2 Origins


My latest paper, a pleasantly vicious critique, reveals exactly how the zoonati clique try to bamboozle gullible journalists and scientists to drive their biased narrative of natural originresearchgate.net/publication/40…
2. This core interpretive move by the authors, from failure to detect a shift in selection pressure to claiming strong evidence of “no adaptation being required”, exemplifies the pernicious absence of evidence-based reasoning so characteristic of their tedious papers.
3. Yet, a small cluster of publications from a recurring group of agenda driven authors continues to exert disproportionate and malign influence on the debate over the origins of SARS-COV-2.

1. A truly stunning example of what is called an "ad hoc hypothesis", i.e. a secondary hypothesis added to a theory specifically to save it from being falsified when evidence for its original version is missing or contradictory.

(in this case, the long lost intermediate host)
2. They used a modeling framework called RELAX to claim that viruses like SARSCoV2 may already have the ability to infect humans whilst in their natural reservoir, meaning an intermediate host or long-term adaptation wouldn't leave the evolutionary footprints previously expected.
3. A classic post hoc justification for the absence of physical evidence by grant stuffed criminals, in short:

I couldn't find the evidence I said was required, so I've invented a theory that explains why the evidence I failed to find was never actually needed in the first place

✴️MICROPLASTICS IN YOUR BRAIN?

1. "These tiny fragments were far smaller than cells and even smaller than many viruses. Some were close to the size of DNA strands. Under high magnification, she noticed small hooked shapes with sharp points.
✴️2. OVERLOOKED

"She realized that the plastic in human brains was not only present, but surprisingly small. The fragments were so tiny that common diagnostic tools could not detect them. Pathologists had likely been overlooking them for years."

msn.com/en-us/health/o…
✴️3. NONE WERE FREE

"The two original samples showed a strong link between plastic particles and dementia. As Bearer expanded her work to ten more donated brains, she found plastic in every single one. None were free of synthetic fragments."

🧵1. In the interview with @danaparish

Redfield stresses that the evidence points to lab creation for a reusable, aerosolized vaccine vector, with US complicity in funding/tech.

He says he is fed up with the cover-ups and predicts that full intel release would confirm this.
🧵2. Proof?

Unfortunately, there is no direct proof provided by Redfield in this new interview, but he cites engineering features, early data, and classified information.
🧵3. Summary of Redfield's Statements

(on SARS-CoV-2 Origins & Cover-Up)

He claims SARS-CoV-2 originated from GOF research in a lab and emphasizes a significant US role alongside China.

He views this as a major biosecurity failure with ongoing suppression of transparency.
