After fully reading the article, I think @sciencecohen does write a fairly well balanced analysis, especially the last half, and lists most criticisms of EHA and WIV.
He also mentions #DRASTIC and hot links to our DEFUSE documents.
Thank you @sciencecohen and shame on @theintercept for failing to do so and instead uploading our work to document cloud to avoid linking to our website.
" Daszak readily acknowledges the Chinese government’s lack of transparency. “Do I think China’s done a lousy job of openly discussing what happened? Oh, absolutely,” he says. He says he also has encouraged WIV to make public its audits of Shi’s lab"
Daszak's Claims (2) Walking Back?
"Finally, there’s the possibility that WIV unwittingly had a bat sample with SARS-CoV-2, which somehow leaked. “Of course it’s possible—things have happened in the past,” Daszak says. But he has seen no evidence"
1. Brethren, hear me now, for we stand at the precipice of a great & grievous iniquity!
The world has been ensnared by a monstrous conspiracy, a vile machination spun by a clique of scientists, experts, media scribes & state overlords!
🧵2. Let us never forget!
Those who, in their arrogance, have sought to veil the truth of the COVID pestilence!
And I say to you today, that this is no mere error, but a deliberate, diabolical plot to obscure the origins of a plague that has scourged the nations!
🧵3. The Vocabulary of Deception
Let us expose this falsehood, this house of deceit
& the duties of the vigilant in these perilous times!
Oh, what a wretched lexicon these deceivers employ! Their words are cloaked in the garb of science, yet they reek of falsehood & treachery!
"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?

She continued:
"I was equally shocked by Daszak’s constant self-promotion and how effective it was."
@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"
