Well worth watching this. Critical the see the human factor amongst the vitriol.

Michael Hiltzik hits the nail on the head again - real conservationists are up in arms about this hyped up BS, while the world burns and forests continue to be eaten up..

More News from @naturehealthglobal.bsky.social. Exclusive update on the documentary movie “Blame”, with behind-the-scenes photographs, never-before-shown images from Wuhan & schedule of Blame’s showing in the coming weeks. naturehealthglobal.org/blame-a-docu...

Here’s @WSWS_Updates @BenjaminMateus7 take: “The administration has explicitly tied its aggressive trade policy to claims of China’s responsibility for the pandemic…WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared, “China’s negligence cost American lives. Now, they’ll pay.” www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

It’s been over a week since I received an email from DHS telling me to leave the country within seven days. I’m still here.

Finally someone actually telling it how it is. This is not some happy gang promoting “sound of music” type nostalgia - it’s the people they were running from!

There have been many lab leak articles in the media recently, but none had actual new data In a new preprint, @zachhensel.bsky.social and I analyze early COVID-19 cases sequence data that have been overlooked so far. These new data continue to point to a natural origin ▫️1/7 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

More anti-science rubbish. There is a huge amount of laboratory testing and clinical data clearly showing that SARS-CoV-2 was not circulating at any measurable level before December 2019.

Truly sad that our delusional now-HHS Secretary would promote this awful quackery

Wow - here’s RFKjr tipping his hand… thanks for sharing this shocker!

This quote should be the journal editor’s simple response: JT Morris @thefireorg.bsky.social attorney noted that the law is clear: "A publication's editorial decisions are none of the government's business, whether it's a newspaper or a medical journal." www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

I am going to lose my mind. Every previous coronavirus spilled over from animals. A novel virus has never leaked from a lab. Peak Ted Talk Brain to suggest that something *which has never happened* is the occam's razor explanation. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/14/b...

To add as to why the White House's 1st point misleads: the SARS2 furin cleavage site isn't canonical, whereas almost all lab-introduced fcs are, including this from 🇨🇳 (2019): www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/11.... The SARS2 insert is out of frame & adds a P, both also uncharacteristic of lab-introduced fcs.

The White House has turned COVID.gov from a public health resource into a politically charged platform promoting the lab-leak theory and attacking specific scientists and the pandemic response in general. Let’s fact check its 5 headline claims… 🧵

👇🏽

Imo anyone working for Trump is only qualified to speak on THIS type of lab leak. 🤣

Even worse than false equivalence is Metzl’s pathetic comment about this undermining COVID prevention. It’s him & colleagues who relentlessly promoted the false narrative about Wuhan that got us here! Surely they suspected it might undermine science based strategies to defeat the disease!!

This bothsideism is one of the ways they keep clinging on to unadulterated BS. Calling it a “debate” (as does the NYT) gives it an air of respectability, when there remains zero validatable evidence for it.

Quality reporting from The Daily Beast. Calling Baloney on badly rehashed narrative with zero facts… www.thedailybeast.com/trump-rewrit...

It is a scandal how EcoHealth Alliance & Peter Daszak was treated by politicians, their client propagandists and compliant media. But he knows the threat of new zoonotic outbreaks is increasing. Not giving up on public health and the planet despite the circumstances is admirable. Spread the word:

So the White House is out with a silly web page aping Alina Chan’s argument for lab leak. Folks who haven’t paid attention to this for a while and are interested should see here how dishonest Alina Chan is.
