Scientific American news article:
After years of rumours that the virus that causes COVID-19 escaped from a laboratory in China, the virologist at the centre of the claims has presented data on dozens of new coronaviruses collected from bats in southern China. At a conference in Japan this week, Shi Zhengli, a specialist on bat coronaviruses, reported that none of the viruses stored in her freezers are the most recent ancestors of the virus SARS-CoV-2.
so who did the investigation? Yup. the good lady herself, not a neutral third party from an outside and trusted not to cover it up.
And of course scientists never lie, do they?
the SciAm article does admit:
The latest analysis, which has not been peer reviewed, (italics mine) includes data from the whole genomes of 56 new betacoronaviruses, the broad group to which SARS-CoV-2 belongs, as well as some partial sequences. All the viruses were collected between 2004 and 2021.
uh collected by whom? The ones who run the lab of course. And since the collections were collected before 2021, but not examined until recently, there was plenty of time to destroy the evidence. But never mind. Don't question the science (/sarcasm)
“We didn’t find any new sequences which are more closely related to SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2,” said Shi, in a pre-recorded presentation at the conference, Preparing for the Next Pandemic: Evolution, Pathogenesis and Virology of Coronaviruses, in Awaji, Japan, on 4 December.
italics mine. Hmm... I thought the next pandemic was supposed to be bird flu but the few cases reported in the USA only caused pink eye and mild flu like symptoms.
The good news (not just for her but for Fauci and EcoHealth) is that this seems to be the experts pushing back to cover their posteriors before Dr Jay takes over the NIH.
but Dr Batflulady was not punished for the leak: Indeed, the article notes:
Earlier this year, Shi moved from the WIV to the Guangzhou Laboratory, a newly established national research institute for infectious diseases.
Hmmm...part of a psyop?
JoeRogan discussed this a few days ago:
discussing censorship... fast forward to 1:20 minutes
and waiting in the wings: A new UN health treaty that will let the WHO order every country in the world to obey them.
True. this was turned down a month or so ago but what happens is that those who want to pass it will just rewrite it a bit and then ask for another vote.

everyone is predicting a new epidemic.
Well, epidemics happen every so often. What I worry about as a physician is that when the experts exaggerate the danger of an epidemic to expand their power, what happens is that people lose their trust in the system.
Sort of like what happened here in the Philippines after the debacle of the Dengue vaccine that caused some children to die: The result was parents stopped all immunizations for their kids, and in the next few years we had over 600 kids die of measles.
Like the story of the boy who cried wolf, the danger is that if a really bad germ gets lose, no one will believe you.
so I keep reading about the next big epidemic that will kill us, except that the warning seems out of proportion to the real risk.
So far, bird flu hasn't lived up to the hype, and even your naive Christian grandmother knows MPox doesn't spread easily except via naughty sex practices.
So what else is out there?
Uh Oh:
There is a new virus in the Congo:
Why are all the deaths of young folk? This suggests that older folks had immunity from past infections.

and Psyops are not new: Trivia fact: Paul Linebarger, aka science fiction writer Cordwainer Smith, has a book discussing psychological warfare, written after WWII...
