1/ As the gaslighting that the lab origins hypothesis for #COVID19 is just some crazy “conspiracy theory” steadily loses effectiveness in the fact of growing evidence, journalists should note that it’s still not too late to catch up with the story. Here are some leads:
2/ And here are some more. The difference between members of DRASTIC (and independent reporters) and mainstream science journalists is that the former actually investigated Covid-19 origins, while the latter cozied up to their favored sources and copied down what they said.
3/ I’ve written a fair bit myself about why so many journalists have failed to properly report the origins story. Here is one piece for the Society of Profressional Journalists magazine, Quill: quillmag.com/2023/04/04/cov…
1/ Two claims central to the #COVID19 origins debate have now been published, apparently based on U.S. intel sources. First, that three researchers at the Wuhan Inst Virology got sick with something resembling Covid-19 during fall 2019. Second, that WIV researchers did…
2/ indeed insert furin cleavage sites into SARS-like viruses. As @Ayjchan has suggested, if these claims are considered well supported by the intel community, then the origins debate is over and a lab origin will be established within reasonable doubt….
3/ The furin cleavage site is key to getting at the truth, because how it got into the virus—through natural recombination, or either via genetic engineering or serial passage in cell cultures or animal models—is an unambiguous indicator of pandemic origins…
1/ If the intel agencies are going to miss the deadline for declassifying what they have on Covid-19 origins, which it appears they will, it’s odd that the mainstream #media does not have an update for us on how far along they are, whether they have asked for an extension…
2/ (which presumably can only be granted by Congress itself by amending the law), or even if they have done any work on this at all. Perhaps @nytimes, @washingtonpost, and other media have stories about this all ready to go; or perhaps the Biden Admin is a scofflaw…
3/ I assume we can count on leading members of Congress to start asking questions soon, or tell us what they know, since the vote was unanimous in both chambers. That should be bipartisan, of course, unless #Democrats think violating the law that Biden signed is okay.

मेरा सिर्फ एक सवाल है - जब ये सच सामने आ जाएगा की जो कैंची अस्थियों में मिली वो तो ordinary grooming scissors है तो क्या मीडिया इसी बात को फिर तीन कॉलम की न्यूज बनाकर छापेगा?!🤔 @sandhuR_md @imaharyana2022 @BansalCP @bakalamekfauji @PremKal89092182 @Kaalateetham @sarkari_doctor
1/ It’s notable that most sources cited in the Times and Public/Racket stories about the “patient zeros” in Wuhan are identified as U.S. government officials. They are likely to be individuals familiar with what some of the intel shows (perhaps that of FBI or DoE)…
2/ and given the timing of the leaks, familiar with what the declassified documents about to be released will show. If that is true, then the question becomes, how good is the intel, especially the identification of three named researchers at the Wuhan Inst Virology?
3/ That is the question everyone should be asking, although the sources and methods behind that intel are likely to be redacted. These are guesses on my part, but also suggestions about how the intel should be regarded. Just as reporters can make mistakes, so can intel…
1/ As the story about the Wuhan Inst Virology researchers who allegedly contracted #COVID19 in fall 2019 races around the world, it also raises some questions about the mainstream #media in the U.S. As the deadline for declassifying intel on Covid origins arrives…
2/ in just days, it was a no-brainer for journalists to start talking to sources in the intel community about what was in them, or even what might be redacted if that is likely to happen. The appears to be just what reporters at the (London) Times have done, and also…
3/ at Public, an alternative site. Why were they first with this story rather than @nytimes or @washingtonpost? Have reporters from those and other major media not been talking to intel sources, or have they been doing so but coming up with different information?
The correct journalistic response to this report and the earlier one in the [London] Times is to talk to sources and try to confirm the details—not to dismiss it, poo-poo it, or otherwise try to ignore it. The leaks may become a torrent. public.substack.com/p/first-people…
2/ My guess, and I could be wrong, is that the leaks we are seeing are from intel sources who know what information is being declassified and feel more free to discuss it as a result. We shall know soon. #media
3/ If those sources will talk to the Times and the Public reporters, they will talk to the NYT and WaPo if they simply make inquiries. Now is the time for followup reporting. If lab origin turns out to be true, we will expect mea culpas from all those who…

1/ One of the many flaws in #media coverage of the #COVID19 pandemic is the very narrow focus of the “experts” used as sources in the reporting. Virologists are usually considered the number one go-to scientists, with physicians and public health officials a close second…
2/ But actually, understanding a pandemic (or any public health issue for that matter) requires the input of many specialties, including epidemiologists, immunologists, cell and molecular biologists, microbiologists, geneticists, statisticians, and then…
3/ scholars in the social sciences, including sociologists, psychologists, historians of science, philosophers of science, and so forth. To circle back, many virologists have militantly tried to claim this subject matter as their domain and only their domain, but journalists…

IPL has always been everything about #MONEY and #entertainment. The teams were based on most popular cities in #India so that each team will have larger fan following and representation, just like #football leagues. 2/n
The people behind #IPL were/are biggest #businessmen, #Celebrities from various fields and #politicians. It gathered enough attention when it got started as new league in 2008. Just because IPL has celebs backing doesn't mean it's gonna be a superhit league in the long run. 3/n

1/ A new and much more detailed analysis of the genomic data from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan by virologist Jesse Bloom of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center essentially exonerates raccoon dogs as the source of the pandemic. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
2/ The study confirms and expands upon earlier analyses by @stevenemassey and others which find that the much-publicized "co-mingling" of raccoon dog DNA with SARS-CoV-2 is actually negligible compared to findings of the virus associated with other species, especially fish.
3/ Bloom explains his methodology and results in a Twitter thread which I have unrolled here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1651428…
