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"
Baric's hACE2 transgenic mice were shared with the WIV for GOF like virus experiments designed to "assess" the potential for coronaviruses to jump from animals to humans.
2. Baric spills his humanized mice beans to Father Racaniello during a heart rending TWIV confessional in March 2020, admitting he sent his hACE2 mice to WIV in 2018 (as part of the infamous NIAID grant mentioned above):
"Our R01 work shows that bats in South China harbor many SARSr-CoVs (50+), some of which are able to use human ACE2 to enter human cells, infecting humanized mouse models to cause SARS-like illness, and evade available therapies or vaccines"
@breakfast_dogs @gadboit @NLink247 1. Insect cell baculovirus cell cultures become contaminated with insect genomic material. 2. Replication process can lead to presence of viral DNA & cellular components in culture medium. 3. This LEADS to contamination of viral product with baculovirus & insect cell-derived DNA.

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!
