Get ready for the long awaited sequel, starring Marion Koopmans and many of the original actors, plus some emerging talents such as Summermatter.

Chinese production, US financing.
Due to some unexpected problem with the casting, Daszak was unfortunately not available for the new production.

We will miss his bumbling gruffness and natural sense of comedy, but watch for the new names - plenty of great talents there:
Anyway, it looks like the someone took a leaf from the "Second China-U.S. Workshop on the Challenges of Emerging Infections, Laboratory Safety and Global Health Security" (May 2017)
minus the transparency that is..
But, hey, what do you do 'when accidents happen all the time'..

(by the way Franz, former Commander, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, is an EcoHealth Alliance adviser)
And it's not as if nobody mentioned the risks:
Plenty more in that very interesting summary of that China-US workshop in Wuhan in 2017. Worth dissecting.

Note: the document seems to have been deleted from the WIV website in April 2020.

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.
Letter to EHA from 2021:
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
