BREAKING - The current widespread H5N1 Bird Flu strain (clade 2.3.4.4b) that is infecting cattle belongs to the same H5N1 clade (2.3.4.4) that the @USDA has been performing serial passage (gain-of-function) experiments on since before the outbreak began. Urgent investigation is…

A massive outbreak of H5N1 among cattle apparently has a single introduction, but we are to believe SARS-CoV-2 required separate spillovers of lineage A and B despite the discovery of unambiguous intermediate genomes. 🤡
excellent summary on SARS2 related strains, WIV sampling and FCS design by @ydeigin! yurideigin.medium.com/sars-cov-2-is-… The only part I disagree with is the closing statement: "while we do not yet have certainty in any particular Covid origin scenario". Here, I'm with @R_H_Ebright👇
This quote is so important
31/ In light of that, it is quite interesting that in January 13, 2020 — just days after the SARS2 genome was made public — both Ralph Baric and Peter Daszak realized immediately that SARS2 is the “highly variable SARS-like CoV” they set out to hunt for in late 2018:
25/ In November 2019, Peter Daszak, EcoHealth’s President, implied that some of the work described in their grant renewal application has already been done:
18/ Moreover, that SARS2 location is the most frequent reversion (R346T) — i.e. mutation back to the amino acid residue present in ancestral strains — observed in over 11% of circulating SARS2 strains (as reported by @SolidEvidence whose updated figure I attached)
Tweet storm of the year
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:
Good advice from Peter Hotez to watch out for people like Peter Hotez.
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?

@ydeigin Fascinating thread. I think Baric's interest in SARSr-CoVs with 10-25% divergence in spike goes back to 2015 or earlier. And he has referred to the upper limits ("highly variable") as "book-ends", for instance in his briefing to Congress in early 2020.
