4 years after my first Medium article on Covid origins, I wrote another one. In it, I make the case that SARS-CoV-2 is precisely the virus WIV was hunting for in 2019. yurideigin.medium.com/sars-cov-2-is-… Below is a thread on the key points:
People ask: What are the chances SARS-CoV-2 emerged near a lab specializing in SARS-like viruses? A more precise question might be: What are the chances SARS-CoV-2 emerged near the lab looking for SARS 2.0?
People ask: What are the chances SARS-CoV-2 emerged near a lab specializing in SARS-like viruses? A more precise question might be: What are the chances SARS-CoV-2 emerged near the lab looking for SARS 2.0?
The lab leak #OriginOfCovid theory is simple. Scientists studied a dangerous virus at low biosafety. It leaked. The continued lack of investigation + the dishonesty of scientists who knew of the risky work in Wuhan is driving distrust in science & actual conspiracy theories.

In an article from 2012 in the aftermath of Ron Fouchier's GoF experiment that resulted into an airborne strain of the H5N1 bird flu virus, @JeremyFarrar stresses that everyone needs “to be convinced there is absolute biosecurity…” I’m not convinced… theguardian.com/world/2012/mar…
EcoHealth wanted to stop a novel virus from spilling out of a bat cave. That only cities have the population to support an outbreak is a post hoc rationalization Lipkin is listed as a participant! Seems like he was invited on PO as a token virus hunter; the rest were skeptical
Here is @EcoHealthNYC's slide. Among other things, they intended to use humanized lab animal models and non-human primates. (h/t @capitolsheila)
Ethics? Did I read "ethics"?
@Bryce_Nickels making money out of accusing scientists now he? some ethics...
Why are governments funding Nipah research? My concern is governments are primarily interested in funding Nipah virus research to develop novel bioweapon agents. This has nothing to do with the content of a preprint.
SARS1 leaked thrice from a BSL3 in Beijing in 2004. "The first two cases were not even noticed at the time." Great post by @gdemaneuf pointing out why armchair epidemiology is only good for getting a publication (or two).

Reminder: if you care about biosafety, please let Senator Peters know how excited you are that he is working in a bipartisan manner to make our planet safer! *especially if you live in Michigan*
3/ All this is the intended outcome of decades of resistance to oversight by Fauci & his gang of biodefence grifters. Gronvall, Rasmussen, GOFROCers and Covid origins cover-up actors still oppose uniform standards, *even for US funded projects*! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

Make no mistake, the authors of "The proximal origin of SARS-Cov2" aka "Proximal Origins" were aware of "the *full* extent to which the bullshit asymmetry principle applies to peer-reviewed research"
I don't think I realized the *full* extent to which the bullshit asymmetry principle applies to peer-reviewed research. If you can get a terribly weak study through the door, it doesn't matter how many critical followup commentaries or LtEs are published, how badly and…
Is it also problematic that the confidential documents were sent to NEB's Rich Roberts and Boston University Prof. Gerald Keusch (who is Associate Director of the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory)?
🚨BREAKING🚨 New documents reveal Dr. Fauci's senior advisor — Dr. David Morens — shared CONFIDENTIAL @HHSGov COVID-19 information with EcoHealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak. @COVIDSelect has the proof👇
The lab leak #OriginOfCovid theory is simple. Scientists studied a dangerous virus at low biosafety. It leaked. The continued lack of investigation + the dishonesty of scientists who knew of the risky work in Wuhan is driving distrust in science & actual conspiracy theories.
Here’s your reminder that Dr. Fauci prompted the drafting of “Proximal Origin” to promote the "nature" origin theory AND discredit the COVID lab leak theory — even though the co-authors initially thought a lab leak was possible. @COVIDSelect's report👇 oversight.house.gov/wp-content/upl…
In Congressional testimony, Science’s E-in-C Holden Thorp made surprising admissions about the role he has played in biasing the Covid-19 origins debate, contributing to an unscientific discussion. Now over to the journal’s news dept to make amends. usrtk.org/covid-19-origi…
