A virus appeared in Wuhan that was: • Highly contagious from the get-go • Superbly adapted to human ACE-2 • But bad at infecting bats • And uniquely equipped with a furin cleavage site never before seen in sars like viruses It turned up in a city where there was a lab: • With a huge sars like virus hunting program • That had collected hundreds of related viruses from a long way away and brought them to Wuhan • That possessed the 9 closest relatives to SARS2 that we know of in its own freezer • That misled us about when it had sequenced the nearest relative and why it had changed the name • That had recently got interested in SARS1’s more distant cousins • And that would not share its data base That lab: • Had made chimera viruses • With massively increased infectivity in humanized mice • Was party to a plan to put a furin cleavage site in such a virus for the first time • Knowing that this generally makes viruses more infectious • Having already done it in a mers-like virus • And when the outbreak happened they were reluctant to draw attention to the furin cleavage site in sars2 Moreover, that lab had a poor safety record: • As testified by a US Embassy 2018 report • Was in the habit of using inappropriate safety levels for its experiment • And behaved very oddly when the outbreak happened. None of this is disputed. And meanwhile, Wuhan’s seafood market was found to contain: - No infected mammals - No infected mammal traders - No infected wildlife-food handlers - And no other market was affected. more: x.com Tom
