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. An Indecent Proposal for Protecting our Pensioners
and preventing their Further Decay!
It is a melancholy object to those who walk through our parks or scroll through our family chat groups to behold the wretched condition of our retirees.
2. These once-vigorous souls, now bent over glowing rectangles at all hours, doom scrolling through tales of grandchildren’s exotic holidays, political apocalypses, and filtered neighbours’ perfect kitchens.
3. Their posture collapses, their sleep evaporates, their blood pressure soars, and their remaining years dissolve into envious bitterness.
1. Federal agencies like the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) as well as the NIAID were funding a remarkable array of research projects around the world..
2. "through a small cabal of civilian actors that in aggregate constituted a de facto bioweapons development program. In my job as data analyst for University of California, I had access to enough data to strongly suspect the existence of such a program"
He has a MA in Biophysics from the University of California, Berkeley. He worked as an analyst for thirty years in the University of California’s Office of the President.
2. The whistleblower just testified that following pressure & interference from mid-level & senior CIA leadership, the team's lab-leak findings were suppressed.
3. On August 17, 2021, the team was forced to reverse its stance and officially submit a conclusion stating they were unable to determine the origin, which formed the basis of the declassified ODNI report released later that month.
This is GOF research via experimental adaptation increasing pathogenicity which is DURC because it involves a listed high-risk pathogen and increases virulence via serial passage in a key reservoir host. i.e. DUCKS!
The Jiangsu researchers deliberately turned a relatively mild H5N6 avian influenza virus into a highly lethal killer of ducks through repeated serial passage in duck cells and live mallard ducks.
3. Good opportunity to boost my Video from 2013!
What originally caused zero deaths in mallards was rapidly adapted into a strain causing up to 100% mortality, massive viral replication in organs, and severe disease..

“This paper does not add anything we do not already know, but selectively cites studies (and omits many others that refute the authors statements throughout) that leads the reader down the wrong path"
3. Prof Peter Shields (2)
“None of their mechanistic studies (selectively cited) has been validated as actual risk predictors in people, and the authors failure to recognize that leads to harmful conclusions."
