Until 48 hours before we finished the whole mission, we still had no agreement that we would talk about the laboratory part of the report, so it was right up to the end that it was discussed whether it should be included or not, says Peter Embarek.
We did not get to look at laboratory books or documents directly from the laboratory. We got a presentation, and then we talked about and asked the questions we wanted to ask, but we did not get to look at any documentation at all, says Peter Embarek.
"Extremely unlikely" was a compromise
Great mate. Thanks for that!
He himself has thought about why the laboratory theory met so much resistance...
A completely different type of study is needed to move forward on the research related hypothesis:
For info, here is part of a brief but good exchange I had with one of the WHO team members just before the end of of their mission in Wuhan (9th Feb 21), about the importance of keeping the research-related scenarios on the table and the way to explore them.
That very first picture of SARS-CoV-2 was taken on the 7th Jan 2020 by Song Jingdong (宋敬东), associate researcher at the Beijing Institute of Virology and a student of Hong Tao.
But bad habits die hard, and as we just learnt a senior scientist got infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the Beijing Institute of Virology in Jan or Feb 2020.
Another SARS lab accident in the same lab. Nothing changes.
They worked so hard to create a nice little story of immaculate infection via imported frozen food - good reason to fill rather disappointed that it did not catch up.
“A recent study from the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. revealed that the coronavirus was already spreading in the U.S. in early December 2019 - a humiliating slap in the face for politicians who claimed they have enormous evidence the virus came from a lab in Wuhan”
That certainly deserves top marks for creative writing.
They nearly got there though.
They managed to get the perfect debilitating ToRs, hoodwinked a few well groomed useful idiots by claiming a moral high ground, and got the near perfect result from the China-WHO Potemkin tour.
This paper can be found below.
It actually says preciously little that is new - only puts a new twists on well known facts while ignoring the logical issues that the suggestions in the paper raise.
Let's start by what is clear and well accepted: the market was just an amplificator event, on line #2 of Wuhan tube.
An haplotype network shows that the samples isolated at the Huanan Seafood Market do not cluster the ancestral lineages - no jump to human there. #DRASTIC
