@SashaGusevPosts @PrometheusCHT @stuartjdneil @itsmeagain4126 By definition, an accident cannot be a "conspiracy." Persons who use the term "conspiracy theory" to describe the possibility of accidental release reveal themselves to be unable to read, unable to reason, or--as for troll who denies Aug-Nov precede Dec--uninterested in truth.

@WashburneAlex And the four began their disinformation efforts because-and only because--of that call

@ianbirrell All rather pitiable. Especially the fact that Pease fails to recognize that the disinformation effort failed and the raccoon dog won't hunt.

@ianbirrell Disinformation purveyor Pease (BBC) was late out of the gate on the "raccoon dogs" disinformation effort, but is trying hard to catch up with disinformation purveyors Wu (Atlantic) and Mueller (NYT).

@emilyakopp Gao et al., 202X

@InWuchang @henri_mourant @EckerleIsabella @jbkinney Indeed.

@Dave99117584 @snorman1776 @Laurie_Garrett Fauci and Daszak still have allies.

@jdufour12 That would be an indication to the public that the writer is unreliable...and an indication to the writer that a point may have been reached where the writer should put down the pen.

@ChrisVTaylor @thackerpd A reduction in exposure risk. Probably a reduction of least 75% for N95/KF84/KN95.

@SashaGusevPosts @stuartjdneil @itsmeagain4126 Again, for your reference, Aug-Nov 2019 preceded mid-Dec 2019. Events in mid-Dec 2019 cannot, even in principle, explain the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into humans in Aug-Nov 2019.

@AndrewButchart1 @thackerpd Indoors.

@SashaGusevPosts @itsmeagain4126 *August-November 2019

@SashaGusevPosts @itsmeagain4126 All market-connected cases date to mid-December, 2019 or later. The virus entered humans 1-4 months earlier than gthe earliest market cases. Therefore, there is absolutely no basis to believe the market was connected to the origin of COVID-19. Unless one invokes a time machine.

@megan_mitchem @HarmitMalik But the badges show left-handed DNA....

@Ayjchan Correct.

@SashaGusevPosts @itsmeagain4126 Yes, But this works only if one ignores the fact tha August-November 2018 preceded mid-December 2019.

@humblesci @mbalter The fact that Fauci no longer controls $4.8 billion annually in federal grants has severely diminished his ability to buy sycophancy or silence.

@Laurie_Garrett Garrett is confusing Marburg virus with Lassa virus. And, even more embarrassingly, Garrett is mis-remembering her own book (which has an entire chapter on Uwe Brinkmann's infection with Lassa virus):

@mbalter @Laurie_Garrett The level of error in Garrett's recent posts is truly shocking.

@OdysseyBohemian @scotub And it isn't even true. The 1977 influenza pandemic emerged from a laboratory freezer.

@lpachter @jbkinney This fact is not in dispute. Just as the fact that the laboratory-acquired infections with Marburg virus in Germany and Yugoslavia in 1967, and the laboratory-acquired infections with Marburg virus in the USSR in 1988 and 1990, are not in dispute.

@BallouxFrancois @jbkinney Correct.

@mbalter Yes.

@lpachter @jbkinney Kinney's post did not mention--or even hint at--concerns about animal research. The claim is preposterous.

@lpachter The laboratory-acquired infections with Marburg virus in Germany and Yugoslavia in 1967 are examples of laboratory accidents. Examples of previous laboratory accidents are relevant to assessing the likelihood of new laboratory accidents.

@T76170661 @thackerpd Fauci surely does.

@Stephengm99 @MarvinH2_G2 @ydeigin Lying stooges will be lying stooges.

@mbalter @AshleyRindsberg @BiosafetyNow Desperate stooges will be desperate stooges.

@AshleyRindsberg @BiosafetyNow Kuppalli's statement, and similar statements over the last 24 hours by Eckerle, Gronvall, Rasmussen, and Pease are a public declaration of an inability to read, an inability to reason and/or a desire to deceive.

@thackerpd Or later.
