1/ Two claims central to the #COVID19 origins debate have now been published, apparently based on U.S. intel sources. First, that three researchers at the Wuhan Inst Virology got sick with something resembling Covid-19 during fall 2019. Second, that WIV researchers did…
2/ indeed insert furin cleavage sites into SARS-like viruses. As @Ayjchan has suggested, if these claims are considered well supported by the intel community, then the origins debate is over and a lab origin will be established within reasonable doubt….
3/ The furin cleavage site is key to getting at the truth, because how it got into the virus—through natural recombination, or either via genetic engineering or serial passage in cell cultures or animal models—is an unambiguous indicator of pandemic origins…
4/ That’s one big reason why so many zealous zoonosis advocates have bent themselves into pretzels trying to explain it away and failing to do so. The truth is that the odds of the FCS having gotten there by recombination are very low given the context for its presence…
5/ Which includes the 2018 DEFUSE proposal that explicitly sought funding for doing such experiments and the fact that SARS-CoV-2 is the only known Sarbecovirus that has an FCS. Throw in the “coincidence” that the pandemic arose in the city with the most famous…
6/ bat coronavirus lab in the world AND that the lab has been genetically engineering coronaviruses for many years and it’s amazing that anyone could have gotten away with dismissing the lab origin hypothesis has some kind of crazy “conspiracy theory.” The reckoning is…
7/ coming soon, especially if the U.S. #media starts doing its job, especially science journalists who have been so MIA in the investigation of Covid origins.
