Fascinating interview, mostly because Anderson contradicts things we know for a fact from the researchers in WIV themselves.

Principally, she insists work was done in BSL-4, when in fact Shi Zhengli has clearly said the work was being done in BSL-2 and BSL-3. Who do we believe? sciencemag.org/sites/default/…

Anderson: “If people were sick, I assume that I would have been sick—and I wasn’t,” she said. “I was tested for coronavirus in Singapore before I was vaccinated, and had never had it.”

Not surprising, but she was also a student of John Mackenzie and Linfa Wang, both highly conflicted and implicated. The timing of the revelation of this person being at WIV is... strange?

If we are to assume she's telling the truth, the only way for everyone to be accurate here is to assume she was being given an assignment in BSL-4 that was intended to create a picture of a model lab, when the "dirty work" was being done as Shi Zhengli described. Other options?

might be something or not

the mention of the 10-year period to identify the source of SARS is not usually how this story is told --

It also appears that Anderson was the author of the retracted preprint that created the "frozen food" origins hypothesis. But it was not retracted before it was cited in the WHO not-an-investigation report

@business I didn't think you could do worse than your $TSLA pieces, but you're really making a solid effort. Is there some internal contest? I am not sure why random internet people have to fact check your stuff, but I'm pretty sure it won't get reflected in the article.

And for any of the folks that aren't aware of the atrocity that is Bloomberg's Tesla "coverage", here's how the people who dare use the handle @business treated the first US-based automotive manufacturer in a century: bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-… Yup. Automotive needs investment. Wow.

yo @danahull now that Tesla has $20B in the bank and the least debt of any automotive, maybe correct the first sentence in this piece that has been false for years? No, tesla doesn't "spend" $224/second whatever "spend" means.

And just so I'm fair, @tsrandall does a good job of being balanced, even when he shows promises Elon has made and broken. That's how being factual works. bloomberg.com/features/elon-…

ok, rant over, back to regularly scheduled covidious content.

And let's not forget, Anderson was also somehow magically a Facebook censor for covid-19 related content. Truly an enforcer of the narrative.
