1🧵 In my old worn Funk & Wagnalls 1958 Dictionary, "Conspiracy" is defined as: An agreement of two or more persons, to do an evil act in concert; a plot. || The Proximal Origins 📜, was by definition a conspiracy, but it wasn't a one time deal.
2🧵 Less than 1 month prior to "Proximal Origin's" (March 17th 2020) publication in Nature. The scientists at EcoHealth Alliance set the conspiracy stage by publishing a similar paper in the Lancet on Feb 19th 2020 
3.🧵For many of us this isn't exactly new, nor surprising. However, thanks to the group, US Rights to Know's FOIAs we see how much of a conspiracy it really was. Dating back to the 1st week of Feb 2020, #Daszak frantically drafted the paper & began begging for co-signers.
4🧵Like the Fauci emails, long lists of implicated names piled onto the messages; mostly to #EcoHealthAlliance, & other scientists. EHA member, Hume Field played the Role of Fauci this time, making edits to the Article before its submission.
5.🧵Stressing the need to quash "Conspiracy theories," &"misinformation," Rita Colwell says suggests to Daszak to "..add 1 or 2 statements in support of why nCoV is not a lab generated virus & is naturally occurring?"
6🧵 The group sent this letter out to dozens of scientists hoping they'd sign on to make the paper more credible. When you see who they reached out to, its almost laughable: Lipkin, Drosten & Farrar were among those they'd hope to endorse them. 😂
7🧵I imagine they were too busy plotting their own paper to be signers to EHA's article. It's comical to see 2 examples/actual definitions of "conspiracy" actively conspiring at 2 separate times, in 2 "renowned" journals while also admonishing "conspiracies" in their papers. 👌
