#Information cascade alert!
The US #intelligence agencies are supposed to reveal all information they have with respect to the #OriginOfCovid
I wanted to use the opportunity to explain exactly what you will see happening in the media, no matter the content of those reports

First, let's talk about expectations.
From the get-go, it is absolutely clear that there is no #smoking gun or similar to be expected.
The intelligence services all had access to the same information and most assessments are low confidence, with 4 agencies favoring #zoonosis.

Within the 'manmade' mythology, too many unverified stories are taken as gospel truth.
Overall, the best LLs can hope for is that the IC can verify some #circumstantial evidence that they have spun into their #mythology; but honestly, I highly doubt that.

We sat down with Professor Edward Holmes to put him to task about his evolutionary research, his role in finding the #origins investigations, proximal origins, collaborations with China, and much, much more.

First: Origins
One thing that goes often down in all the noise surrounding #lableak is the fact that SARS-CoV-2, and actually all CoVs, possess #mosaic genomes.
This is because CoVs evolve not only through mutation but also through exchanging genetic elements with other CoVs

This exchange is called '#recombination'.
One can imagine CoV genomes like colorful Lego brick walls, and recombination as taking one brick from a different virus and putting it in the wall of another; changing the color while keeping roughly the function.

Let me show you something & explain:
Having lost the battle to sabotage scientific consensus formation for #zoonosis, LLs can only invoke 'research cartel' tropes & target individual scientists.
They hope people will not realize hundreds of scientists produced the evidence.

The emergence of a scientific consensus is dependent on the body of scientific #evidence, and not on who has the loudest microphone.
There are dozens of papers with evidence directly related to the #origins question, and that evidence is created by hundreds of scientists from

Read 👇 Dear Journalism:Does this pass muster @VanityFair? Innuendo, implications, Eban teases as breaking story. Zero new evidence. Lots of fmr Trump admin people saying there's a cover up, with no evidence. How is this not just spreading misinformation?

vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/t…
YES we need more info on #COVID #Origins. Yes a lab leak is a possibility, but as many have said it has not been high on priority b/c there is quite literally no evidence for it. Eban doesn't find any either. But she does fall for all sorts of canards...
For example, Eban falls for the one about how @WHO didn't appoint US officials suggested for the independent expert team. This has been being shopped around by Trump admin folks for months. Eban takes the bait, reports it as if it's a shocking piece of new information. But...

As a scientist, I'd like to note that it's impossible to study a bat coronavirus for 7 years within a research lab where they were known to recombine different viral fragments, and not end up having evolution happen that perhaps wouldn't have happened in the wild. Just saying.
Recombining viruses, you say? Wuhan, 2017.

There is nothing I have hidden from you all. My whole life is on the TL if you read deeply. My names are Abdul Lateef Adesegun Oluwasegun Omotayo Omogbeminija and several others that didn’t make it into the birther. My grand dad was an Imam we own Mosques & give scholarships.
But even with my Islamic Education I grew up to embrace Christianity not as a religion but as an intrinsic walk with the master. My parents were Christians yet the knowledge of Islam was potent. There’s this story my granddad told me & I will share it with you today.
An emperor in the Far East was growing old and knew it was time to choose his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or his children, he decided something different. He called young people in the kingdom together one day.
