Two names are missing under this Lancet letter, while one would expect them, Marion Koopmans and Ron Fouchier...

11. Why did Koopmans not sign the Lancet Letter?

On Feb 7, 2020, Daszak sent an email to Colwell with a list of people they want to approach to sign the statement, including Osterhaus, Koopmans and Haagmans. Haagmans signed it. Koopmans will not.

The question remains; why not?
12. "Ask Marion" Part 4

20/07/2021 by @Hommel_be

"Koopmans liked it all. Whether it was China’s repeated delay of the mission, the lack of raw data, China’s veto over the composition of the team Marion Koopmans did not speak a single word of criticism"

12. Gain of Function

"I strongly suspect that this successful Gain-of-function investigation by Ron Fouchier is the reason why Marion Koopmans and he did not sign the letter to The Lancet"
13. Funding
" For Koopmans and Fouchier too, if it were proven that the SARS-CoV-2 virus had escaped from the WIV, it would have disastrous consequences getting funds for Gain-of-function experiments with influenza viruses, just as it would have for Ralph Baric"

1. SAGO WHO email campaign.

Only 6 days, so I will copy my email here in sections for anyone who wants to copy paste and adjust for their own email
2. To: SAGO@who.int
Subject: Public comments on SAGO members

Dear SAGO WHO,

1. In light of statements by your Secretary General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Maria D. Van Kerkhove and Michael J. Ryan in "Preparing for “Disease X” science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
3. “As well, laboratory hypotheses must be examined carefully, with a focus on labs in the location where the first reports of human infections emerged in Wuhan. A lab accident cannot be ruled out until there is sufficient evidence to do so and those results are openly shared”

Gruesome History - Dresden 1945

Vic stumbled into Hell

He saw women, men & children trying to escape the flames in huge water tanks & boiling to death, others burning in molten tarmac & yet others sucked into the air with their heads on fire, their bodies exploding in the heat
Perhaps I should be more realistic & knuckle down to the concept of the brutality of the human race, but I have always been a stubborn individual. I am not a diplomat. I just happen to have witnessed the worst that man has to offer & I like it not one bit
