Time to organize to fight the Algorithms!

"Drawn in by fuzzy promises about unleashing the entrepreneur in each of us and the benefits of being one's own boss, people find themselves instead oppressed by an algorithm"

2. Nice Dig

"Importantly, there has been no consensus on the origin of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan so far (Bloom et al. 2021)."

3. "We screened SARS-CoV-2 & related Covs in lung, liver & intestinal tissue samples of raccoon dogs, hog badgers, Siberian weasels & Reeves’s muntjacs, collected at the start of COVID-19 from locals who captured them in rural areas of Wuhan for vendors at Huanan Seafood market"

China's Reaction to the SAGO Report

1. Deny & Divert

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian rejected accusations that China had not fully cooperated with investigators, reiterating calls for an investigation into "highly suspicious laboratories such as Fort Detrick and UNC"

https://twitter.com/BillyBostickson/status/1535022152289865740

2. Deny and Lie

"The lab leak theory is totally a lie concocted by anti-China forces for political purposes"

China was also accused of leading a disinformation campaign, suggesting the virus was detected elsewhere before the Wuhan outbreak"

3. Take the Moral High Ground

"Research on the origin of the virus must adhere to scientific principles and should not be subject to political interference"
