1. For further competing interests as mentioned in "The Lancet", have a look at this official 2016 brochure from the EcoHealth/OneHealth organization/platform: idrec.ac.nz/user/file/88/J…
2. Direct competing interests arise here because:

SIX of the Lancet authors (MacKenzie, Drosten, Daszak, Colwell, Carroll, Madoff) listed as members of OneHealth Platform supervisory board (page 14-15)

Mackenzie also listed as on Management board with Osterhaus on Page 11.
3. Speakers list (Page 2) spot the familiar names
4. a prominent member of this supervisory board is George Gao (Deputy Director-General of CDC PR China) and yes, conspiracy nuts, it is all connected ;)
as PREDICTED!
5. under "Supporting Partners" (page 20) and "Corporate Supporters" there are "Manufacturers of vaccines, antiviral medicines, antibiotics, diagnostic tools, antiparasitic agents or any other product or service that contributes to One Health"
6. International One Health Coalition
7. One Health Journal

“We are not a Cult”

DRASTIC and the investigative network that broke the Corona laboratory taboo

Must Read Interview!

The hard working "Two Ronnies" of DRASTIC

@gdemaneuf & @BillyBostickson

Interviewed by @franzbecchi for @berlinerzeitung

berliner-zeitung.de/politik-gesell…
1. Who are the “pandemic detectives”?

We speak with 2 of DRASTIC's prominent members:

@gdemaneuf (a data scientist & engineer)

and @BillyBostickson, longtime activist who was formerly part of opposition networks in China & HK & who operates anonymously for security reasons.
@gdemaneuf 2. My Responses

How did DRASTIC come about?

I started in January 2020, triggered by an article by Dan Sirotkin on the origins of the virus.

I connected with people like @R_H_Ebright & others on Twitter.

In May 2020, I chose the name "DRASTIC" for this decentralized group.

22. Biased Sampling distorts Geography!

They use a dataset skewed toward Yunnan & Laos (p. 16), leading to phylogeographic models that place SARS-CoV ancestors far from Wuhan & Guangdong (p. 12).

This sampling bias undermines the reliability of their geographic inferences.
23. Neglecting Alternative Hypotheses

No SARS-CoV-like viruses near emergence sites?

They completely overlook non-bat reservoirs, like civets or pangolins, which could explain local circulation (p. 15).

This omission weakens their claim of distant ancestor origins (p. 12).
24. Inconsistent Molecular Clock Rates

The paper misuses variable NRR-specific clock rates, which give inconsistent SARS-CoV ancestor dates (e.g., 1944–2014 for SARS-CoV-2, p. 9).

Without any validation of bat-specific rates, this approach has no rational grounding (p. 14).

5. Why did they resort to using the POW model?

To show that :

"our inferences of the time of the ancestors of human SARS-CoVs and their closest bat sarbecoviruses are UNBIASED"
6. Captain Obvious Strikes Again (1)

"we show that the ancestors of SARS-CoV-1 & SARS-CoV-2 likely circulated in horseshoe bat populations 100s to 1000s km away from the sites of the emergence of these viruses in humans & as recently as one to six years prior to this emergence"
7. Captain Obvious Strikes Again (2)

"Our findings indicate that there would not have been sufficient time for the direct bat virus ancestor to reach the locations of emergence of the human SARS-CoVs via normal dispersal through bat populations alone"

1. Last sick joke of the Zoonati?

Fragments of human SARS-CoVs share recent common ancestors with bat viruses

SARS-CoV-like viruses have circulated in Asia for millennia

Ancestors of human SARS-CoVs likely circulated in China & Laos

Ancestors traveled unexpectedly fast
2. No Pangolins allowed!

There is insufficient temporal signal when calibrating a molecular clock using tip dating with sarbecoviruses sampled from bats & pangolins, likely as a consequence of limited sampling across space & time.

Therefore, we used SARS-CoV-1 genomes!
3. Definitely no pangolins!

As sampling locations of SARS-CoV-1, 2 & pangolin sarbecoviruses likely do not represent where their direct bat virus ancestors circulated, we EXCLUDED their locations from phylogeographic analyses to avoid the IMPACT of dispersal of non-bat hosts!

1⃣ Virological 🦠 Whistleblower 😮‍💨?

"I worked with researchers in this space - virology + combatting future pandemics - in the decade before the pandemic".
2⃣ One Fact

"The one fact that the last 5 years never readily disclosed is that the core ideology of this community of researchers was fundamentally divided"
3⃣ Lab based creation of super-viruses

"About half of the researchers, including many leading virologists whose names appeared in the news, believed and argued passionately for the lab-based creation of super-viruses and super-bacteria"

1. The Second Lab Leak

Turning and turning in the petri dish,
The scientists cannot hear the warnings;
Genes recombine; the barriers cannot hold,
Evil virology is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
2. The Second Lab Leak

The best lack critical thinking, while the professors
Are full of furious bias.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the cover up is now banned?
Lab Leak! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Human Folly
Troubles my sight:
3. Somewhere in Wuhan

somewhere in the cell lines of a Chinese laboratory
A shape with pangolin body and the head of a bat,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its long tongue, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant molested bats.
