How was the lab origin of covid so successfully branded a racist conspiracy theory? Well Fauci’s emails offer some hints between circling the wagons and reporters fawning over him and outright promising not to write anything that could make him look bad. Of course Trump mentioned it, then the media pretty much united in calling it a debunked conspiracy. Democracy dies in darkness, right WaPo?

If there was any doubt remaining about whether Sweden got it right and we would have been much better off following their measured approach, read this. Let’s not let this happen again.

That Vanity Fair article is pretty good. Lots of interesting data, such as bio-engineered mice getting covid in the summer of 2019. Bit of a long read, but fascinating.

We were helping fund the Chinese lab, specifically to isolate and categorize viruses from Chinese bats. The director of the NIH adds that “we had no control over what else they were doing with those funds.”

So the man who has repeatedly lied to Americans lied again? Say it ain’t so.
“With all due respect, you are entirely, completely incorrect,” Fauci snapped back, adding the NIH “has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

gain-of-function
Speaking of, I linked to this paper before, and went back and reread it. Gain-of-function research is going on not just in China, and doesn't sound that hard to do, frankly.

Worrisome

Using in vitro evolution to affinity maturate the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein towards ACE2 resulted in the more contagious mutations, S477N, E484K, and N501Y, to be among the first selected...Further in vitro evolution enhancing binding by 600-fold provides guidelines towards potentially new evolving mutations with even higher infectivity.

How is that relevant to this discussion? We are currently dissecting how much of a fucking liar Herr Fauci was, not how easy science is. Stick to the point at hand!

Then why was/is Fauci lying about it?

This racist debunked far right conspiracy theory is getting out of control


A Chinese Communist Party military scientist who got funding from the National Institutes of Health filed a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine in February last year — raising fears the shot was being studied even before the pandemic became public, according to a new report.

Good thing big tech and the media suppressed all conversations about covid origins that might have made Fauci et al have egg on their face. I’d love to ask @nittany03 if, knowing what we now know, he regrets calling @Hair Warrior a conspiracy theorist unfit for his job due to his skepticism of the zoonotic origin theory.
