You are one of the world's top virus hunters You had been part of a proposal in 2018 to create a virus very very much like SARS-CoV-2 Then a virus very very much like that emerges in 2019 You are one of the first people in the west to know about the new disease, in the middle of December 2019. You helped set up the Chinese CDC and are still on very good terms. You go to China in January 2020 to see what is happening. Then you author the definitive paper debunking lab origin of that virus in February You declare no conflict of interest and say nothing about the fact that you know that something incredibly similar to this was an active research interest of the world's top corona virus experts. You get sick with the virus that spring, you refuse to go to the hospital, you self-medicate at home with HCQ. Your name is Lipkin. Professor W. Ian Lipkin.

@alexandrosM Alex, actually Ian went in December to China and then once back home ..and sick .. his U.S. physician ordered hydroxychloroquine for him. Not a huge deal.. just sayin'
JFC How much certainty do you have that he self-medicated at home w HCQ? There's been rumors circulating that members of Congress were being covertly treated with hcq or IVM as early as 2020 after @PierreKory gave his, now infamous testimony before Congress but I have always found evidence lacking
@alexandrosM I think he fancies himself as Dr Ianry Lipkinger, a masterfully pragmatic statesman negotiating with a totalitarian world power.
@alexandrosM Has anyone FOIA’d his 2020 emails yet?
@alexandrosM Throwback to probably the last piece of actual journalism carried out by the corporate press, which of course was largely ignored.. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
@alexandrosM The sheer disingenuousness of this man, and others who were similarly positioned during the pandemic, is truly breathtaking.
