You need to read the science and not the political hype and conspiracy theories.The int’l team saw its task as finding a zoonotic source of animal transition in the wild, not seeking the actual source of the pandemic.
Like the science you are using here.....looks like straight from BeijingI have read almost every conspiracy theory and pseudoscientific paper on the origins of covid and the only compelling case is that found by the WHO and presented last week.
I will pull apart some of Metzl's points. He said:
Doctors were definitely not allowed to publicly communicate information about the virus, as at the time its nature was scientifically and medically uncertain. This is also the case in most nations - there is a process! - and if Australia's treatment of whistleblowers is anything to go by, Wuhan's doctors got off lightly.
- "In the critical first weeks after the outbreak, Wuhan authorities worked aggressively to silence the whistleblowers and destroy evidence that could prove incriminating."
Metzl's claim that evidence was destroyed is totally baseless. Who investigators actually met the first known case while in Wuhan.
This is false. When the nature of the virus could not be determined Wuhan authorities actually sent out and alert, and a few days later Beijing had officially notified the WHO.
- "When Beijing authorities got involved a bit later, they likely faced a choice of implicating the Wuhan authorities, and, in effect, taking blame for what was quickly emerging as a major global problem, or turning into the curve and going all in for the coverup. I believe they likely chose the second option."
Furthermore, the "global problem" did not emerge for another month.
This is patently false. The WHO Emergency Committee has an international panel of 20 who decide on the facts and China's single voice was insignificant.
- "The Chinese government then massively lobbied the WHO to prevent the WHO from declaring COVID-19 as an international emergency and prevented WHO investigators from entering China for nearly a month."
Furthermore, WHO experts from its China and Western Pacific regional offices conducted a field visit to Wuhan in late January - ie within 3 weeks of the WHO being notified - and again in February 2020.
Actually, and unsurprisingly, Chinese academics have now researched and written hundreds of papers on the possible origins of covid. Most of the material available to researchers/investigators is written in Chinese and only a small amount of the hundreds of thousands of pages of base material has been translated. This is yet another of Metzl's baseless claims.
- "The Chinese authorities have gone to great lengths to destroy evidence and silence anyone in China who might be in a position to provide evidence on the origins of COVID-19."
Metzl may be a clever person, but he is incompetent on this issue.
Evidence yeah rightYou need to read the science and not the political hype and conspiracy theories.
We cannot rule out alien intervention, a CIA plot, or the tooth fairy, amongst other possibilities.
Science has no plausible reason to consider a man-made virus for the reasons outlined in the linked Report - see pages 111-120. It cannot discount it, but with zero evidence it remains as suggested by the WHO team, as "extremely unlikely".
You need to deal with facts and not speculation.Evidence yeah right
Transparency is not one of their strong points is it.
You have yet to offer a single bit of credible information to support any of your ideas.Like the science you are using here.....looks like straight from Beijing

They need to figure out how to make them from gasLooks like this is the next sector to be getting ready to put their hand out for taxpayer subsidies.
Jeez car manufacturers changing over to electric, power generators changing over to renewables, now vaccine manufacturers changing over to mRNA manufacturing.
The media tends to become an advertising medium, for private sector platforms IMO.
As I said just my opinion.
