That and a coupe authors already arrived at contrary conclusions before this nature piece was even released. It fails to even acknowledge their work, compare, or comment why there should be favor in their own claims above others with differ

Right now it looks like the U.S. might have been working with Wuhan on a vaccine. And Wuhan had an oopsies. We just have a confirmation statement from DARPA that they weren't working with WIV. I bet someone knows the rest of the detail

It's no longer an extraordinary circumstantial claim. It might never have been because this kind of research that very well could cause a COVID pandemic was being concealed by the very people that decided very early that there was no q

The USA might need to come out and say "we were working on a vaccine with Wuhan." EHA and WIV might need to say "we had an oopsies." I doubt China will admit anything though. So this is the circus we must deal with until

I don't endorse this guy since he's a little too political for my taste but it's the best ELI5 of the situation I can find for everyone. https://youtu.be/JfoZHX-BJzQ https://youtu.be/JfoZHX-BJ

Not really speculation any longer. Daszak made a bunch of statements that poured water on this potential concern, and so many other contradictor statements to this evidence. When there is a discrepancy or a number of discrepancies (in this

I believe the uniqueness has been established by the issue that the specifics of the 12-nt insertion is never found anywhere in a natural setting. Many papers have gone back and forth over this and there's no natural example.

30-40 years difference from SARS-CoV. However, the proposal actually says it would use other unpublished sequences for development. These unpublished sequences may have been much closer to SARS-CoV-2. I think you should read the leaks.

Calm down dude. Clearly you have some attachment to one theory over another, which is poor science. The investigation will continue and those missing items you mention just might turn up since it appears from the leak that there are might b

Looks like a pretty probable lead to me to continue investigating, especially since this leak evidence directly conflicts with many previous statements from Daszak and associates.

We already know the NIH partially funded field survey work that appears to be very similar to this. It's pretty obvious to see that they continued applying elsewhere and may have been successful in getting the funding the requested. It

The two main points of interest with this leak right now: Peter Daszak, Peter Daszak's associates and funding partners, EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), and the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) have all been in tight consensus that this line

The way the article is written leaves a lot to be desired and it’s apparent that the preferred narrative Anderson puts forward is already fairly contorted, not making for a neutral source. Her bias is obvious to me when I strain to find any
