Excellent summary by Matt Ridley of the main points to have come out from the recent revelations from Baric and Daszak.

1/few I've updated my Bayes estimate on Covid origins to use new simulations from Nod Nizzaneela. No change in the overall odds but really the end of any pretense that Pekar et al. was a legitimate paper. Despite giving them every possible break, fixing math errors makes the odds

Great thread about Fermat's unremarkably non-existent proof of his last theorem.

Is this paragraph in one of Daszak's reports a reference to what was later discovered in these rice samples?

Great thread about potential SARS2 origin. I still think the FCS is probably something they found in an actual bat or pangolin virus and nothing to do with 🐈 s but neither of us really know.

Time to repost this classic thread I think now that Ye Olde Oxford Englishe Vaccine is no longer available.

Yay Science 🥰
