"If someone had set out to adapt an animal coronavirus to humans by taking a specific bit of genetic material from somewhere else and inserting it, this was what it might end up looking like. And then Kristian delivered his denouement: he’d found a scientific paper where exactly this technique had been used to modify the spike protein of the original SARS-CoV-1 virus..

So at this point the lab leak hypothesis was the most likely to a lot of prestigious scientists. Jeremy himself was 50/50. However, two weeks later the Lancet statement was issued deeming any talk of a lab leak as conspiracy theory. What changed in that time?"

Not so much Sherlock Holmes mystery as Col. Mustard once the clues are revealed. If it's not new science it's new political agenda; safe to say the intense propaganda & censorship are more clues and created a digital diaspora & Substack community. If not for so many deeply caring and thinking folks booted by Big Tech we could not have pulled together the vast, diverse, far flung individual paths into a harmonious orbit. Unintended consequence, the silenced go where truth has standing and discussion is valued.. lucky us! :~)

I suggest adding the year 2020 (just once, after the first reference to January in about para 5), just for (initial) clarity. (Please ignore if you disagree, and forgive me if I offend.)

You are informing your readers amazingly well, M. Naked.

Thanks for this review. It sounds as if the explanation of how he concluded it wasn’t man made is very weak. Why did he bother to detail his doubts and fears in the first place?

The whole point of 'freedom of information requests' is that people do not get to wander around with 'burner phones' to have off-the-record conversations. So what are the laws in the UK about sneaking around this way?

There are a few videos on YT showing the Fauchi email trail where most of the scientists were sure this was man made, and then a conference call was made, and their views were reversed. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM42LsVOlNI

This is old news of course. Time lets things get buried, and I suppose your bring up this new book allows this to resurface. We must not forget what happened. The lab leak theory was quashed, but from watching the investigation into the Fauchi emails, it appears that it was deliberate.

I hope every person involved in what sure seems like a coverup gets what is coming to them….

They'll lie about anything. The US/UK establishment doesn't even see their citizens as human beings.

NE, when I read the book Viral this winter, I got the impression that the authors were not fully forthcoming, as is evident in this book you just wrote about. More narrative management for the people who are readers of books, is my thought. Anyway, appreciate your work, thank you.

Thank you for reading this book so I do not have to. These “scientists” ignored the first principal of science: prove or disprove your hypothesis. They made it up, no doubt because the GOF jig would be up and Dr Fauci, the purse string holder, would cut off their funds.

I get the impression there are a lot of these self justification books in the pipeline. Perhaps to gather legal funds to defend themselves if the truth is ever exposed.

“You begin to see a pattern that is only there because of your own starting bias.”

Yeah, well, as educated and practiced as you are, one would expect you to have quite a formidable “starting bias.”

Why does the trust employ the former head of MI5?
