RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:yqxcc5ayxllwkvel4narbha4/post/3mnddojijks2xToday is the first Tuesday of the month, meaning it is blog post day!
I wrote about last month's hearing of a "CIA Whistleblower" on the "COVID coverup".

Rand Paul’s “CIA Whistleblower”

The pangolin sub-subplot
This is the story of a coincidence: some lab leakers managed to make sequence data of pangolin viruses public again the same day that Jesse Bloom was submitting a preprint highlighting their absence. This long post illustrates the conspiratorial mindset of lab leakers, and is yet another example of Brandolini’s law. The story is very niche, so let’s start with some background. Some background on pangolin coronaviruses In February 2020, because of a “miscommunication” within their team, Chinese scientists overestimated the similarity between pangolin coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2. The announcement of their (incorrect) result led to massive attention for pangolins, in...

Covid: Warum die Laborthese trotz fehlender Evidenz überlebt
Zunehmend berichten auch seriöse Medien über die sogenannte Laborthese. Demnach wurde der Erreger künstlich hergestellt. Was ist da dran?

In March, Matt Ridley gave the inaugural "Scientific Freedom Lecture" at NIH, on a lab leak origin of COVID-19.
The talk was so full of misrepresentations, omissions, falsehoods and lies that I will need several blog posts to debunk it. Here's Part I:
