The irony is that this repeats word for word the Guangdong regulations of 2010.
It's just like a broken record.
See the article about the 2010 regulations from Guangdong:

"Some used laboratory animals are on the table, and no one knows what kind of experiments they have been used for."

For the Guangdong regulations (June 2010), see:

@ParkSuAm1996 @R_H_Ebright
There have been local regulations (for instance Zhejiang province in 2009, Guangdong province in 2010) and national regulations since then, especially the Biosafety Law of the People's Republic of China adopted on October 17, 2020.

More regulations just betray the problems.
For the Oct 20 Biosafety Law: lascn.net/Item/88747.aspx

That law came in force on the 15th April this year, and they are already updating it... !!

1/6 Why on earth did Gerald Keusch think he could write in these terms to @drsanjaygupta?

👉🏻 "do better to clarify and not further muddy the sewage left over from the behavior of the US gov. toward China"

That was just after the CNN interview of Dr. Redfield on 27 March 2021. Email correspondence discussing the origins of COVID-2, highlighting misunderstandings between Dr. Keusch and Dr. Gupta regarding U.S.-China relations.
2/6 Dr. Gupta actually did not even say much at all. He was taken a bit aback during the interview.

Daszak and Keusch are just annoyed that CNN dared interview him. Dr. Robert Redfield discusses COVID-19 origins on CNN, surprising Sanjay Gupta with his view on a Wuhan lab.
3/6 The opening is mad:

"You totally missed the point with your comments about the origins of CoV-2. Whether or not the virus was even in the Wuhan Institute of Virology or there was an accidental release, CoV-2 originated as a spillover from bats and ultimately to humans." A chaotic live broadcast features a glowing green container labeled "WIV - Dangerous Viruses" and a heated discussion on virus origins involving bats.

Simon Wain-Hobson (Institut Pasteur) gave a talk to NIH officials last month.

He told them Collins and Fauci committed a "professional failure" by sterilizing debate on dangerous virus research.

He said Proximal Origin had "no data", and lab leak likely.

André Lwoff Prize, Athena Prize from the French Academy of Sciences, Officier de la Légion d'Honneur, OBE (Order of the British Empire, 2022 list) for services to virology.

Wain-Hobson and his research group at Pasteur Institute were the first to publish the sequence of HIV.

One of the top virologists around.Four prestigious awards and medals are displayed, including the André Lwoff Prize, Athena Prize, Légion d’Honneur, and OBE.
Wain-Hobson called the 2011 Collins/Fauci/Nabel Washington Post essay a "Papal Bull" that stopped all discussion about gain-of-function dangers.

👉🏻 "Everyone was scared...because Drs. Fauci, Nabel, and Collins had sterilized the debate. We can't have this." The Washington Post article discusses flu virus risks, authored by Fauci, Nabel, and Collins, highlighting their credentials and authority.

1/8 Nod (@nizzaneela) has updated his paper demolishing Pekar et al's claim of 'two introductions'.

v3 is more accessible, same brutal conclusion: the supposed support for two spillovers is an artefact of rigged hypothesis testing.

arxiv.org/html/2502.2007…Image
2/8 Quick recap: Pekar et al claimed a Bayes Factor of 60 for two introductions.

After three major errors were found (including a bad cut-and-paste!), it dropped to 4, just at the noise level border. Image
3/8 Nod later showed that the 4 is still wrong.

The one-introduction model was tested against stricter conditions than the two-introduction model, which is basic statistical malpractice.

Under the same conditions, the Bayes factor is <0.25.

Worobey is working on a paper showing that the epicenter is a taberna close to the lab.
Holmes has a photo of a well-wined evening there, which he will turn into a paper too.

Places like that are clear zoonotic disasters in the making. Image
All [ASF] viruses currently circulating in the Member States belong to genetic groups 2-28 and not to the new genetic group 29 to which the virus causing the outbreak in the province of Barcelona belongs - very similar to genetic group 1 that circulated in Georgia in 2007.

Good luck to the Daszak in suing EHA (through its board of directors) for a total of $4mln.

He is a debarred fraud, likely linked to one of the most destructive events of the last 100 years, who racked millions at EHA, and enjoyed the high life in its colonial revival villa in upstate NY, not far from his favourite ski fields.
But, wait, they were 'incredibly supportive of Peter'. They knew that 'Peter [was] a great scientist, a deeply honest man', etc.

Sure. And pigs fly. Image

1/24 🚨 New insights into #COVID19Origins! 🔍 In this thread, I reveal previously unreported key aspects:

1️⃣ Direct connections between the CIA and virologist Ralph Baric in U.S.-China virology cooperation and monitoring. 🕵️‍♂️🇨🇳 @SenRandPaul

2️⃣ The complete ODNI BSEG composition as of Sep 2020—never published before.Image
2/24 Context:

The BSEG, est. 2006, is an advisory panel designed to assist U.S. intelligence on biological threats, incl. viruses and biosafety. 🦠

🔒 Meetings are classified and managed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. @thackerpd Image
3/24 BSEG stands for Biological Sciences Experts Group.

3️⃣ Additional context on early briefings, biosafety concerns, and international collaborations.

Let's explore! 👇
