There are so many parties sitting on unique fragments of info relevant to #OriginOfCovid

There should have been a systematic investigation in 2020 to collect these fragments and piece them together to form a better picture of how the pandemic began.

Part of the problem is censorship from the Chinese gov, which caused evidence & samples relating to early cases to be hidden or destroyed.

But another part of the problem is the journals & databases that didn't come forward with these manuscripts - whether retracted or rejected.

As a result, the window of time in which the virus is estimated to have first infected a human person is still as wide as September to November 2019.

E.g. the raccoon dog proponents say the first infection was only on Nov 18, 2019.

This makes it incredibly challenging to pinpoint an origin if we don't know whether the virus had already been circulating in human for weeks or even months before detection in Dec 2019.

We can keep blaming the Chinese gov, but the truth is that there is much info existing outside of China that should have been collected already:

There are clear and productive routes of inquiry that should have been pursued from day 1 to help clarify the #OriginOfCovid

We need a commission or investigative team that can call up scientific journals, doctors, scientists, institutes, databases etc. and obtain suppressed communications, data, and manuscripts.

This is not something a single scientist, journalist, or sleuth can do.
