What we know about the samples and the visits to the mineshaft of TG?
TLDR: 7 trips: 4 already known (Ge et al., 2016), plus other 3 with massive sampling until 2015, including 7896-clade. All already in Latinne et al. (2020)

CIA whistleblower’s written testimony just dropped. It’s worth reading in full but here is the short version:

By March 2021, before Biden’s 90-day COVID-origin review, FBI and DOE were already leaning towards lab origin. CIA analysts were leaning the same way, but CIA management didn’t like where the evidence was pointing and were actively obstructing their own people.

Then, once the 90-day review kicked off in May 2021, Fauci personally fed the interagency team a curated list of experts. The same ones who wrote “Proximal Origin,” along with others, all part of the same ecosystem shaped by the same overlapping incentives.

Basically, the same people involved in funding, defending, or advising on risky virological research were now tasked with assessing and informing official analyses on whether that research caused the pandemic.

And then towards the end of the 90-day review period, someone at the CIA management flipped the agency’s assessment from lab-origin to non-consensus.

Between 2022-2023, the bureaucratic ecosystem at CIA was stil working overtime to block its own analysts and technical experts. Internal emails even admitted analysts would have called a lab origin if management had let them.

Not just that, the analysts who pushed back saw their careers wrecked. And those who buried it got promoted.

All this comes from a career intelligence officer on Gabbard's DIG task force, the group literally tasked with declassifying COVID origins. His position gave him direct access to the documents and communications they were trying to hide.

So why was the lab-leak conclusion resisted, delayed, and obscured for years? Groupthink. Political pressure. Fear of anything geopolitically inconvenient about China. Reluctance to implicate a research infrastructure funded for decades with American taxpayer money.

Motives would be hard to prove, but the result was a textbook cover-up, intentional or otherwise.

The real question now is whether Congress, DOJ and the powers that be will follow this wherever it leads.

@flodebarre @jbloom_lab @babarlelephant @EtaitLife @USRightToKnow This is concerning: NCBI Genbank had a 98% (RdRp) and a 97% (ORF8) match with Wuhan-Hu-1 on 05-Jan-20. And we know this two and half years later:

@mattwridley They changed the species in 2021 for some of them, despite having identical viruses

[Francisco de Asis @franciscodeasis]

Si et al. (2024) Fig 3: the SARSr 7896-clade shows no HKU2 co-infections. But the same group previously published two HKU2 sequences (MN312322, MN312339) from this very clade. Their own data, quietly disappeared.

Exciting stuff. But here is a concern: repeated mRNA vaccination may train the immune system to resist the delivery platform itself — not just the target antigen. If billions have already been primed against the mRNA carrier through COVID boosters, future mRNA therapies like cancer vaccines may work less well. The fact that this is even plausible made it reckless to mandate repeated doses for low-risk people. We may have burned irreplaceable platform capital for marginal benefit.

Don't miss @mattwridley give the inaugural lecture in @nih's Scientific Freedom lecture series. He will be speaking on March 20th about the origins of covid. Registration to watch is free at the link!

@TheObjective_es @pelayobarro Le hacen un man-in-the-middle al Presidente del Gobierno y no dimite nadie del CNI. Mucha casualidad que salga esto ahora en medio de las negociaciones del Sáhara Occidental. Ni siquiera parece mérito nuestro haberlo destapado ahora. Estamos vendidos.

@alfwarrior Es intolerable la falta de transparencia: siguen sin compartir secuencias, metagenomas ni árbol filogenético de las muestras del CReSA y de jabalíes.
Y esta frase es poco clara. ¿Por qué no dicen "presentó *ninguno* de los SNP"?
¿81 muestras sin ninguna mutación? ¿Todas cero?

@grok @elonmusk Add "The scene should accurately reflect the historical period" to the prompt.

@grok @elonmusk @grok And what about the cars in the background?

[Matt Ridley @mattwridley]

Six years ago today, a truly shocking incident occurred that disgraces the name of science.

A dozen scientists shared the view that Covid started with a laboratory experiment.

So they met online to discuss how to mislead the world into thinking the opposite.

▪️El riel viejo puede tener fatiga acumulada, inclusiones, micro-grietas o endurecimiento por uso
▪️El nuevo es más dúctil y resistente inicialmente
▪️Al fundirlos con termita, la zona afectada puede tener tensiones residuales diferentes, mayor riesgo de fisuras/defectos internos

@GarethDennis @tertest But those are not the only two possibilities. The transition weld can also be done in the factory, leaving only homogeneous welds to be performed on site. I seem to recall several references mentioning this approach.

[Francisco de Asis @franciscodeasis]

es que es ancha. Lo negro es sólo la sombra. Fíjate, o al menos eso me parece. En cualquier caso, veo varias referencias que dicen que las transiciones se hagan en fábrica y sólo en el terreno entre homogéneos. Si eso es así, existe el riesgo de ponerlo mal:
89-[23-89]-[89-23]-89
en vez de
89-[89-23]-[23-89]-89
siendo "[89-23]" lo que viene de fábrica ya soldado.

@Zariguelya @Sr_Donze Esta es la máxima resolución que he encontrado. En cualquier caso, la GC lo ha considerado relevante (marca "A")

@Zariguelya @Sr_Donze no exactamente: la de la derecha dentro, la de en medio en el borde, la de la izquierda parece fuera. Y en otras manchas blancas no pasa. Voy a ver qué encuentro.

[Francisco de Asis @franciscodeasis]

@Zariguelya @Sr_Donze quizás es un efecto de las sombras. Voy a intentar buscar algo con más resolución

[Francisco de Asis @franciscodeasis]

@Zariguelya @Sr_Donze borro hasta confirmar

[Francisco de Asis @franciscodeasis]

@Zariguelya @Sr_Donze ¿qué piensas de esto?
