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. "These tiny fragments were far smaller than cells and even smaller than many viruses. Some were close to the size of DNA strands. Under high magnification, she noticed small hooked shapes with sharp points.
✴️2. OVERLOOKED
"She realized that the plastic in human brains was not only present, but surprisingly small. The fragments were so tiny that common diagnostic tools could not detect them. Pathologists had likely been overlooking them for years."
"The two original samples showed a strong link between plastic particles and dementia. As Bearer expanded her work to ten more donated brains, she found plastic in every single one. None were free of synthetic fragments."
Unfortunately, there is no direct proof provided by Redfield in this new interview, but he cites engineering features, early data, and classified information.
🧵3. Summary of Redfield's Statements
(on SARS-CoV-2 Origins & Cover-Up)
He claims SARS-CoV-2 originated from GOF research in a lab and emphasizes a significant US role alongside China.
He views this as a major biosecurity failure with ongoing suppression of transparency.
"Of note, the spike protein of this novel bat coronavirus possesses a functional FCS at the S1/S2 junction with a unique amino acid sequence motif (RDAR) that differs from that found in SARS-CoV-2 (RRAR) by only 1 amino acid."
"The molecular biology capabilities of WIV & the genome assessment are consistent with the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 was a lab-engineered virus that was part of a bank of chimeric viruses in Zheng-Li Shi's laboratory at WIV that escaped from containment"
Between 2017 and 2019, WIV created full-length a infectious clone in pBAC-CMV using an unpublished bat Coronavirus genome as template (BatCoVX)

3. Hypothesis 3:
Between 2017 and 2019, WIV created chimeric Bat-CoV-X viruses using the pBACCMV-BCOVX backbone and swapping out key cassettes with other bat Coronaviruses (RBD, RBM, etc.) and adding additional features such as a furin cleavage site
We need to find out why Peter Daszak & EcoHealth had In-Q-Tel backing and why Nathan Wolfe (an obvious intelligence asset with links to Epstein/Maxwell, Boris Nikolic, and Bill Gates) was on their editorial board.
