Could be worse?

“a round shot took off his head & spattered the whole battalion with his brain, the colours & ensigns in charge coming in for an extra share. A 2nd shot carried off 6 of the men’s bayonets, a 3rd broke the breastbone of a Lance-Sergeant”

Dead horses had metal shoes ripped off for re-selling before being arranged in vast pyres & set alight. The scene was made even more hellish by the stacks of unburied human bodies that lay around for days afterwards, literally going black in the scorching heat of the June sun

The Omicron Mouse Hypothesis gains legs

Evidence for a mouse origin of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/artic…
viruses evolving in the same host species share the mutagens specific to that host’s cellular environment.

the molecular spectrum of post-outbreak Omicron mutations (which are known to have accumulated in humans) was located within the human 95% confidence ellipse.
In contrast, the molecular spectrum of pre-outbreak Omicron mutations was within the mouse ellipse, suggesting that the pre-outbreak mutations accumulated in a rodent (in particular a mouse) host.

1. Some Bloody Bastards in Power in Hong Kong

"Secretary for Security", Chris Tang:

“By smuggling these things (hair clips, chocolate) inside to recruit followers & build influence, they create hatred towards the government & endanger national security"

hongkongfp.com/2021/09/08/chi…
2. “To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so" - Proudhon
3. Another Thieving Bastard is Steve Li

Senior Superintendent of the Police National Security Department

"During the newsroom raid, officers "found" computers, mobile phones and HK$500,000 in cash"

52. Update - @quay_dr exposes more RaTG13 fraud

The seminal paper from WIV claiming SARS-CoV-2 probably originated in bats appears to contain a contrived specimen, incomplete & inaccurate genomic assembly, & the signature of lab-derived synthetic biology

zenodo.org/record/5778318…
53. Four explanatory threads by @stevenemassey

Evidence for ‘live’ RaTG13 at WIV, Part 1



Part 2



Part 3



Part 4

54. New #RaTg13 paper from @stvevenemassey

Exclusive to #DRASTIC

SARS-CoV-2's closest relative, RaTG13 was generated from a bat transcriptome not a fecal swab

Implications for the origin of COVID-19
