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:

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

✴️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.

🧵1. Critique of preprint: SARS-COV-2 like FCS hype

Media article 1

dailymail.co.uk/health/article…

Media article 2

straitstimes.com/world/coronavi…
🧵2. The Authors State:

"Of note, the spike protein of this novel bat coronavirus possesses a functional FCS at the S1/S2 junction with a unique amino acid sequence motif (RDAR) that differs from that found in SARS-CoV-2 (RRAR) by only 1 amino acid."

biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
🧵3. Two fatal flaws: Overreach & Undermine

A. The authors of this study on the BRZ batCoV from Brazil unfortunately overreach themselves when they connect it to SARS-CoV-2 origins.

B. The FCS evidence actually undermines the flawed hypothesis of direct bat to human emergence!

🧵1. Honest question

Did you try to read my pangolin coronavirus report but gave up because it was too long or too complex?

If you didn't see it, link is in next tweet

Help is at hand!

"The molecular biology capabilities of WIV & the genome assessment are consistent with the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 was a lab-engineered virus that was part of a bank of chimeric viruses in Zheng-Li Shi's laboratory at WIV that escaped from containment"

usrtk.org/wp-content/upl…
2. Hypothetical Laboratory Origin of SARS-CoV-2

Between 2017 and 2019, WIV created full-length a infectious clone in pBAC-CMV using an unpublished bat Coronavirus genome as template (BatCoVX)

page 85
3. Hypothesis 3:

Between 2017 and 2019, WIV created chimeric Bat-CoV-X viruses using the pBACCMV-BCOVX backbone and swapping out key cassettes with other bat Coronaviruses (RBD, RBM, etc.) and adding additional features such as a furin cleavage site
