Origins of Covid19

Feel there is near certainty that the #ChineseGovernment is covering up the origins of #Covid19.

If it was the wet market then it's almost unbelievable that the animal host would not have been found by now.
But no animal host has been identified.

If #LabLeak then this would be known to the Chinese government.

If there was a natural host then I think that would have been disclosed so as to rule out the damaging and destabilising lab-leak idea.

Maybe other factors in play?

FINAL REPORT: COVID Select Concludes 2-Year Investigation, Issues 500+ Page Final Report on Lessons Learned and the Path Forward

The Origins of the Coronavirus Pandemic, Including but Not Limited to the Federal Government’s Funding of Gain-of-Function Research

COVID-19 ORIGIN: **COVID-19 most likely emerged from a laboratory** in Wuhan, China. The FIVE strongest arguments in favor of the “lab leak” theory include:

The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.
Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.
Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research at inadequate biosafety levels.
Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with a COVID-like virus in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.
By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced.

@kakape when I pointed out that the #LabLeak hypothesis seemed unlikely but couldn't be ruled out, and backed the statement up with citations, I was accused of being a bad actor, blocked, etc.

And yet Tedros and other bigwigs and scientists keep saying the same. "It's not likely but it is possible."

To this day I wonder if they were genuinely unable to fathom the existence of remote possibilities, or whether they were shills, or...

"FBI Records Reveal Ironic Accusations Against Animal Activists"

sentientmedia.org/fbi-accusati @sentientmedia

It turns out that the FBI is so full of police clowns that they believe AR "intruders" would use bioweapons.

Keep this massive piece of institutional stupidity in mind the next time someone brings up the FBI's opinion on the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and the Lab Leak hypothesis.

Deel 3 over wat er zich achter de schermen afspeelde voorafgaand aan en tijdens het ontstaan van de Sars-Cov-2 pandemie is uit:

"In short, the lesson the gain-of-function research community took away from a pandemic that was at least possibly started by gain-of-function research on coronaviruses was that we need much more gain-of-function research on coronaviruses."

So when a coronavirus that had genetic signatures that made it "(potentially) look engineered," in the words of Dr. Kristian Andersen, Ebright's concern about the possibility that the virus had escaped from the lab must have been shared by virtually everyone in the small group of people who were following the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic closely. To Ebright, it was a pretty close call at the time as to which was more likely: a lab leak or a zoonotic origin. There simply was not enough evidence to make a concrete prediction either way. He would soon watch, with very great disappointment, as a number of scientists who also did not have enough information to make a confident prediction nonetheless claimed that they did.

Al met al acht ik de kans dat Sars-Cov-2 een pandemie is geworden door een #lableak een stuk groter dan de kans dat het als zoonose op de wet market is overgesprongen naar de mens. Een bewijs zou te leveren moeten zijn als:
* China medewerking verleent aan een forensisch onderzoek
* Virologen eindelijk de lableak hypothese eens serieus gaan onderzoeken.
Die beide kansen zijn uiterst klein, dus moeten we hopen op een klokkenluider (op sterfbed?).

There's a glut of arguments for and against the #LabLeak hypothesis.

Having (unfortunately) read or skimmed several of the papers that articles are citing, let me summarize:

"We don't know."

In fact, we probably cannot EVER know, barring a lab leak whistleblower, which obviously can't happen if that wasn't the source.

There's circumstantial evidence on both sides.

And almost every news article covering it is chock full of logical errors and misreadings of the cited papers.

Embarrassingly bad coverage.

We should stop caring about whether or not the #LabLeak hypothesis is true.

This is NOT like the fight around #airborne transmission. Knowing will NOT change what protections work and should be used, nor help us assess risk.

It is both wise to ban gain-of-function research on human-transmissible pathogens AND it is wise to ban large wildlife markets.

#MaskUp, #CleanTheAir, layer more #swissCheeseModel defenses, and look to the future.

Wie vanavond nog een uurtje over heeft, kan ik dit artikel aanbevelen.

Er is ook een deel 2: theblaze.com/news/lab-wars-ins
paywalloos: web.archive.org/web/2024062801

Geeft veel inzicht in de aanloop naar de coronapandemie en waarom een #labLeak als mogelijke oorzaak helemaal niet zo vergezocht is.

Ik zal het laten weten als deel 3 verschijnt.
