""Secondly, in the spring of 2020, a global network of internet researchers begins the search for the origin of the pandemic and uncovers astonishing details."
"In May 2020, a Twitter user with the pseudonym TheSeeker268 finds two scientific papers from China on the internet: a master's thesis written in 2013 and a doctoral thesis from 2016....."
4. Sceptical Internet Users ;)
"RaTG13 is the virus from which a short genetic sequence with the designation 4991 was isolated years ago in the copper mine..
Shi later admits this, only after sceptical internet users dug through genome databases & drew attention to the renaming"
5. Some "Drastic" members remain anonymous and cannot be identified in the great Spiegel...?
"Some "Drastic" members remain anonymous and can only be reached via a common email address."

Nice talking to you, Aleksander Sarovic!
6. Some of course are happy to talk
"Another is Gilles Demaneuf, who works as a data scientist. When a new epidemic emerged in the early 2020s, he "sensed something bad was coming". At that time, however, little was known about the new epidemic: "No one had the necessary data"
"During shooting in Thailand, I was shocked by Daszak’s fast & loose with facts, his refusal to acknowledge his conflict of interest,& his denial of his gain-of-function res in collaboration with Wuhan lab"
You guessed right, i hope?
@janeqiuchina
She continued:
"I was equally shocked by Daszak’s constant self-promotion and how effective it was."
@janeqiuchina About the film:
"Blame: Bats, Politics & a Planet Out of Balance"
"Christian Frei seemed entranced by hero worshipping, apparently having lost all sense of objectivity & critical judgment. I felt strongly then, as I do now, that the film was a blatant piece of propaganda"
Bloody Hell, it's worse than even I imagined in my darkest nightmares about #scamdemia.
Time to spend some of this tax money on local electronics, biological, ecological, IT, optical, chemistry, engineering & physics labs run by local amateurs for the benefit of our communities?
Short 🧵on Primer & PCR Test issues (Pangolin Covs)
1. The key issue with pangolins and Pcovs is that:
It was discovered that the standard PCR tests used in 2020, and often still used, failed to actually detect many of the betacoronaviruses generously hosted by the pangolins.
2. Unless
The samples are retested with bespoke primers & more accurate PCR tests available now,
We will not know exactly whIch Pangolin (or bat) coronaviruses were hosted by Pangolins at WIV & elsewhere pre-pandemic.
However, "they" (I will name who they are later) should, and perhaps in the future, may retest the stored samples at WIV, IPB, SCAU AND GIABR, to clarify the question of which coronaviruses were present in their pangolin samples.
2. May have been for research and commercial purposes, but they were caught bang to rights.
"LIU initially stated that he did not know what the materials were and that someone must have put them into his bag"
3. When asked why someone would put them into his bag, LIU stated that he did not know, and that maybe he had accidentally put the materials there. After further questioning, LIU acknowledged that the materials were different strains of the pathogen Fusarium graminearum
