1. Some useful, albeit not fully developed, critiques of:

“The Origins of SARS-CoV-2: A Critical Review"

zenodo.org/record/5106841

have just been published here:
researchgate.net/publication/35…
by members of DRASTIC & others
@angoffinet @BahulikarRahul @MonaRahalkar @gdemaneuf
2. A refreshing contrast to the so-called "expert reactions" found here, including from one of the authors of the review (Prof David Robertson)!

"expert reaction to a preprint reviewing the evidence on the origins of SARS-CoV-2"

sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reactio… Image
3. Peter Gutierrez points out in his response that 4 of the authors of “The Origins of SARS-CoV-2: A Critical Review”, also wrote “Proximal Origin of SARS-COV-2”.

His critique focuses on:

1. RaTG13

2. Enhanced adaptation to the human host

4. As to be expected, Sydney University and its iconic virologist, Eddie Holmes, who is "not available for interview", are crowing over this biased review
sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/n… ImageImageImage
This review contains elementary errors as exposed here:
1.
one of the authors (Stuart Neil) then claimed
"Didn’t N501Y come up in ACE2 TG mice too?
Image
You will have to dig into the answers here

A thread with papers to educate Stuart here:
ImageImageImage
Which he didn't take kindly to

I guess it was his way of admitting he was wrong about N501Y? Image
Again Prof Neil, one of the authors of the review continues to embarrass himself. I am starting to think that the flawed N501 claim was actually written by him.
Image
He just can't admit his error, so I have to remind him
Image
A further elementary error in the review paper

@Daoyu15 @jhas5 @Fynnderella1 Not sure what your point is ragrding hACE2 mice infection.

Have you read all the other hACE2 mouse model papers that show SC2 infection.

I have!

Here are 15 of them, please read them:

1. Animal models for SC2 and SC1 pathogenesis & transmission

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC87…
@Daoyu15 @jhas5 @Fynnderella1 2. Mouse Models for SC2 Infection

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC85…

3. Highly susceptible hACE2-transgenic mouse model for SC-2 research

frontiersin.org/journals/micro…

4. Inducible hACE2 transgenic mouse model recapitulates SC-2 infection & pathogenesis in vivo

pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…
@Daoyu15 @jhas5 @Fynnderella1 5. Mouse Model of SC-2 Infection & Pathogenesis

6. Mouse models of lung-specific SC-2 infection

@Ticklicker56 @Biorealism Yes, we thoroughy researched this issue some time ago.

Difficult to prove anything, but certainly raises suspicions.
@Ticklicker56 @Biorealism Interestingly, the E protein and nsp7 of ZC45 are 100% identical to those of SARS-COV-2.

Even Holmes (Wu et al., 2020) listed ZC45 as closest in Feb 2020 until the RaTG13 full genome was published in March

nature.com/articles/s4158…
@Ticklicker56 @Biorealism Phylogenetic trees and analysis from the early days

nature.com/articles/s4158…

What's unusual is that Wu & Holmes (2020) did NOT inlcude the RdRp of SC2 in the analysis

Holmes definitely knew of the RdRp of RaTG13 (4991) and RaTG13's sequence since 2018

🧵The Censorship of an Innocent Monkey!

by the following Western "science" websites:

@biorxivpreprint

@medrxivpreprint

and Chinese news websites:

@globaltimesnews

@PDChina

Let's see what disturbs them so much that they have to censor certain comments?

1. Spiked: The Hunt For The Origin of Covid-19

Good news @BlueAntMedia is going to publish it

Many #DRASTIC interviews including myself 🐵

"SPIKED tells the inside story of one of humanity’s biggest & most pressing mysteries: the debate over the origins of COVID-19"

Clip 👇
2. The Making of the Documentary (20 minutes)

"Unfolding like true crime, this detective story takes us deep into clashing conspiracy theories & partisanship while exposing the dangers posed by experiments regularly taking place in the world’s biolabs"

worldscreenevents.com/premieres/spik…
3. Our film is a true crime detective thriller

"It’s about the future of biotech and the next pandemic. We wanted to make a contentious story really exciting, with twists and turns, that covers the science but with a strong dramatic structure"

and this is why they hate @X

Because their lies & propaganda are exposed

Their Masters have lost control!

1. "For me with this data a lab origin is now more than likely" says @dr_louwen

Referring to ON876210 ( i think ;)



From authors of this paper (Submitted March 2020)

An Infectious cDNA Clone of SARS-CoV-2



h/t @Rebecca21951651 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/ON8762…
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
2. From 2020 Paper

“icSars_CoV_2 retained the engineered molecular markers & did not acquire other mutations”.

@dr_louwen considers that:

1. This increases the validity of the genetic finding

2. This isolate is highly similar to the wild type isolate 2019-nCoV/USA_WA1/2020
@dr_louwen 3. Point 2 above refers to "ON876210"

(My mistake in Tweet 1)

Submitted (29-JUN-2022) in the USA
