In this thread I present the ten main arguments that persuaded the audience at the debate in New York on Monday to agree overwhelmingly (65% to 12%) that covid began as a laboratory accident.

Guy Gadboit Maybe you should read the analysis of Michael Weissman. And the analysis of Gilles Demaneuf. I think both are very convincing. zenodo.org/records/4067919 An Inconvenient Probability v5.10 open.substack.com/pub/michaelwei…

July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably

This The Lancet Microbe article takes the cake as the worst article I've seen in a peer-reviewed journal in the past year. "The sheer hubris needed to underpin alternative hypotheses" - this is not objective, scientific language.

I'm sorry if I offend, but I think Biden dropping out is the best news we could have hoped for today. It also highlights the difference between a personality cult on one side and putting the nation before oneself on the other.

Danke an Jörg Zajonc & das ganze RTL WEST Team! 💯 Super Kurzbericht über die #RKIProtokolle, wie man ihn sonst vermutlich selten in den Qualitätsmedien finden wird! 👏👏👏 x.com/RTLWEST/status…

Zhengli Shi when asked whether she worked on DEFUSE after US funding was declined: "I don't want to answer this question. It has nothing to do with the origin of corona."

Our latest episode-of the Weird sauce podcast is live Dr. rer. nat. Valentin Bruttel was amazing. Thank you again for this conversation on #COVID #GoF and #biosafety Existential threat youtube.com/watch?v=opfHf4…

Where do Kamala Harris and Donald Trump stand on 1) a 9/11 style independent commission with subpoena power to investigate the origins of COVID 2) banning gain of function research w/ potential pandemic pathogens 3) biosafety regulations with criminal penalties for violations 🧵

Der Mainstream wacht auf. Ausführlicher und guter Bericht von Britta Britta Spiekermann im ZDF heute journal. Wie man allerdings ausgerechnet Drosten und Stürmer als Kronzeugen gegen die #PandemiederUngeimpften aufbieten kann erschließt sich mir nicht.

Re Lab Leak vs. Wet Market origin of SARS-CoV-2, watch this debate Matt Ridley v. virologist Stephen Goldstein, then decide for yourself. I'd put the lab leak at a Bayesian ~80% China could clear it up for us but...when pigs fly. youtu.be/KVj1awTgb1s

This opinion piece by 41 scientists is a blatant effort to shut down all debate on the origins of COVID. It's disturbing to see this. Shutting down debate is anti-science, whatever their protests to the contrary journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

Evidence consistent with a lab leak: - bat SARSr-CoV in city without bats - No broad animal trade outbreak - No reservoir - No concentration of ifxns in animal traders - Furin cleavage site (FCS) - BsaI/BsmBI reverse genetics system (RGS) - DEFUSE proposing FCS + RGS on bat

Today, anyone in their right mind considers lab leak, once dismissed as a conspiracy theory, the most likely hypothesis by far. In the interest of preventing future pandemics, this MUST be recognized, conclusions must be drawn, and accountability questions must be answered.

Only that it seems they squeezed in part of DEFUSE -- whether or not spelled out in the Statement of Work: reporter.nih.gov/search/zFJWM28…
