Personal account. I have many interests but post mainly on SARS-CoV-2 origins because I hope to convince others we need to prevent future manmade pandemics.

Amazing how the people most adamant that COVID couldn’t have come from a lab are also the ones most allergic to admitting GoF carries real risks. Almost like ideology is doing the thinking.

The ruthlessness, creativity and determination that the Democratic party displays when it comes to quashing even the most minor critics within its ranks is unparalleled in the Western world. Imagine what could be accomplished if they believed in anything.

Gilles Demaneuf Jeremy Farrar Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus If WHO wants to rebuild trust, it needs to dismiss--not re-assign or promote--Farrar, and it also needs to dismiss van Kerkhove and SAGO members with disqualifying COIs.

Last year, Prof Anton van der Merwe of Oxford and I prepared an academic paper setting out the evidence for a lab leak as the cause of Covid. It was rejected by the journal that invited us to write it. Now I have posted that paper online for others to read. Link below.

The president has no constitutional right to "lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises." The court should have done this a long time ago.

Think Global Health Gigi Gronvall The administration is using covid origins as an excuse for their massive attacks on science. It's unfortunate that incompetent or insincere science denying the probability that it was indeed a lab leak has handed them that free opportunity. As Zeynep says, an unforced error.

This GOF work to enhance the pathogenicity of bird flu was conducted at BSL-3, a biosafety rating which has been subject to leaks in the past There is no way to ensure the safety of GOF experiments on respiratory pathogens

If these guys jumped out of a car and grabbed you on the street in Indianapolis or Tampa, would your first thought be that they are government officials? Would compliance be your natural reaction??

The pandemic agreement takes NO account of lab accidents. It is yet another cynical joke with huge waste of money and, worse, increased risk of lab-generated pandemics. nature.com/articles/s4156…

You don’t need to be convinced that the COVID-19 virus originated from a lab leak to recognize the imminent need for oversight mechanisms – the mere possibility that the virus could have emerged from such risky research should be more than enough to prompt decisive action. Gain

Gain-of-function is not banned. Gain-of-function on some of the deadliest pathogens in the world like MERS is 100% legal in the US. It's legal without any lab safety standards. We need an independent federal regulator with teeth. We need action from Congress.

Muriel Blaive, PhD The story behind the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is one of hubris, carelessness, cowardice, lies, attempted deceptions, bullying, botched cover-ups, and willful ignorance of clear evidence. It is a story of human and institutional failures that caused tremendous harm. Yet

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better
