“It’s just another chapter in a sad tale of inadequate oversight, disregard for risk, and insensitivity to the importance of transparency,” said Stanford microbiologist Dr. David Relman. vanityfair.com/news/2021/10/n…
Now more than ever we need to see what is under these redactions in an email conversation about the #OriginOfCovid among top scientists in early 2020.
What did they know about work done in Wuhan at the time?

I told @KatherineEban @VanityFair
“They funded research internationally to help study novel pathogens and prevent against them. But they had no way to know what viruses had been collected, what experiments had been conducted, and what accidents might have occurred.”

SARS2 obviously was not described in any of the EcoHealth reports to the NIH, especially their 2019 report which was only submitted this August (2 years late).
But the NIH cannot comprehensively know what other work was being done by the EcoHealth or the WIV.

I would’ve preferred an official statement acknowledging this caveat and that SARS2 may well have accidentally emerged in Wuhan due to research activities.
Is there anyone who still, in their heart of hearts, thinks a lab #OriginOfCovid is extremely unlikely?
Minus the meteor origin and covid-doesn’t-exist folks of course. I believe their sincerity.

A lab sampled 1000s of animals & humans, hunting for novel and rare SARS-like viruses with a mind to insert novel cleavage sites, working at BSL2 that can’t protect against airborne viruses.
Novel airborne SARS-like virus with novel cleavage site soon emerges in that city.

Ecohealth given 5 days to hand over unpublished data under the NIH award… what’s the penalty for not doing so?
Furthermore they should be making public all unpublished data, docs, and communications related to WIV, not just under one award.

EcoHealth can’t be FOIA’ed, but the other subcontractors on the defuse proposal may be able to produce the discussions leading up to the plans to insert rare cleavage sites into novel SARS-like viruses.

But also, EcoHealth is -still- serving as middleman for more of the same virus hunting work in SE Asia funded by the US… is that work being reported in a timely and transparent manner?

Ongoing US-funded EcoHealth research in 🇹🇭🇸🇬🇲🇾
“novel viruses.. will be characterized to assess risk of spillover to people, and a series of in vitro (receptor binding, cell culture) and in vivo (humanized mouse and collaborative cross models) assays”

Is there anything to stop the EcoHealth from putting holes in their hard drives right now?
