> But a leading scientist told Sir Jeremy that “further debate would do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular”. Dr Collins, the former director of the US National Institutes of Health, warned it could damage “international harmony”. COVID-19: the time where Scientists pretended to be politicians and politicians pretended to be Scientists. Also if their intention was to not hurt China, we now see one of the largest decentralisation efforts away from Chinese manufacturing we have seen in quite some time. Any future outsourced research to China will be under extreme scrutiny. > Later emails showed that by February 4, Sir Jeremy had revised his estimate of a laboratory leak to 50:50, while Professor Eddie Holmes, of the University of Sydney, gave a 60:40 estimate in favour of an accidental release. When you consider how the CCP and all staff involved have behaved, the odds appear higher. You have a major opportunity to show openness and lack of wrongdoing - and yet choose to act closed and actively prevent investigations. > An email from Dr Ron Fouchier to Sir Jeremy said: “Further debate about such accusations would unnecessarily distract top researchers from their active duties and do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular.” Unnecessary harm? If it was as a result of a lab leak, it would be completely necessary harm. For all we know, COVID-X is just around the corner. Bare in mind many labs around the world have been processing COVID samples and performing experiments on it in order to figure out how it may mutate.
