GUESS WHO SAID THIS?

"During shooting in Thailand, I was shocked by Daszak’s fast & loose with facts, his refusal to acknowledge his conflict of interest,& his denial of his gain-of-function res in collaboration with Wuhan lab"
You guessed right, i hope?

@janeqiuchina

She continued:

"I was equally shocked by Daszak’s constant self-promotion and how effective it was." Image
@janeqiuchina About the film:

"Blame: Bats, Politics & a Planet Out of Balance"

"Christian Frei seemed entranced by hero worshipping, apparently having lost all sense of objectivity & critical judgment. I felt strongly then, as I do now, that the film was a blatant piece of propaganda" Image

Sebastian Castellio (1551)

To seek truth & to utter what one believes to be true can never be a crime. No one must be forced to accept a conviction

Conviction is free

One of the first proponents of religious toleration, freedom of conscience & thought

gospeltruth.net/zweig/heresy_c…Image
One of the great forgotten men of the Reformation.

One of the greatest minds in Geneva, a brilliant scholar and thinker.

Sebastian Castellio published what has been called "the first manifesto in favor of toleration"

web.archive.org/web/2005030616…
The Plague in Geneva

At the same time, he was the only minister in Geneva during Calvin’s day to risk his life to assist the sick during the Black Plague.

The friend of Truth obeys not the multitude, but the Truth.”

Bloody Hell, it's worse than even I imagined in my darkest nightmares about #scamdemia.

Time to spend some of this tax money on local electronics, biological, ecological, IT, optical, chemistry, engineering & physics labs run by local amateurs for the benefit of our communities?
Finally #scamdemia is waking up to the putrid stench of education for profit, ruined lives and academic credential inflation?

Short 🧵on Primer & PCR Test issues (Pangolin Covs)

1. The key issue with pangolins and Pcovs is that:

It was discovered that the standard PCR tests used in 2020, and often still used, failed to actually detect many of the betacoronaviruses generously hosted by the pangolins.
2. Unless

The samples are retested with bespoke primers & more accurate PCR tests available now,

We will not know exactly whIch Pangolin (or bat) coronaviruses were hosted by Pangolins at WIV & elsewhere pre-pandemic.

see Nga et al., 2022 for details

frontiersin.org/journals/publi…Image
3. It is unlikely that anyone will do that now😒

However, "they" (I will name who they are later) should, and perhaps in the future, may retest the stored samples at WIV, IPB, SCAU AND GIABR, to clarify the question of which coronaviruses were present in their pangolin samples.

3. When asked why someone would put them into his bag, LIU stated that he did not know, and that maybe he had accidentally put the materials there. After further questioning, LIU acknowledged that the materials were different strains of the pathogen Fusarium graminearum
