I wish this report got us any closer to really knowing[1]. Unfortunately, it just feeds on the same emotional headlines and conspiracy spreading sites as the last 2 years. When HK Tweets, the Daily Mail, and Washington Times are your starting point[2], each containing their own unsupported allegations, with Chinese[3], Russian, and US agit prop all vying for their place at the table, reasonable people will respond with, "come back when you have some evidence", or "and this helps how?". Should the WHO be able to actually do their investigation, yes, but do I really trust the Director General Ghebreyesus, no, because he's been uniformly awful from denying human COVID transmissibility to denying boosters. **** [1] This Fine Telegraph - Feb '22 _The timeline matters a lot here. If they were sequenced in Dec 2019 then it’s exceptionally important, because [China] holds SarsCov2s not discovered until December 30 to 31._ “On other hand, if sequenced in early 2020 then they could be contaminated with some early patient samples and still concord with Chinese government timeline. Right now, it doesn't seem there is enough info to narrow down timeline to distinguish between these. “All we can say is that these samples were contaminated at Sangon Biotech with some early SarsCov2 viruses, some of which appear to have been from lab-grown samples.” ***** ====[2] https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/05/25/timeline-how-wuhan-lab-leak-theory-suddenly-became-credible/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/05/25/timeline-... - March '21 Dec. 30, 2019: The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission issues an “urgent notice” to medical institutions in Wuhan, saying that cases of pneumonia of unknown cause have emerged from the city’s Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. Jan. 5, 2020: Earliest known tweet suggesting China created the virus. @GarboHK tweeted: “18 years ago, #China killed nearly 300 #HongKongers by unreporting #SARS cases, letting Chinese tourists travel around the world, to Asia specifically to spread the virus with bad intention. Today the evil regime strikes again with a new virus.” Jan. 23: A Daily Mail article appears, headlined: “China built a lab to study SARS and Ebola in Wuhan — and U.S. biosafety experts warned in 2017 that a virus could ‘escape’ the facility that’s become key in fighting the outbreak.” Jan. 26: The Washington Times publishes an article with the headline: “Coronavirus may have originated in lab linked to China’s biowarfare program.” An editor’s note is added March 25: “Since this story ran, scientists outside of China have had a chance to study the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They concluded it does not show signs of having been manufactured or purposefully manipulated in a lab.” ====== [3] Immediately after, we have Chinese propaganda saying it came from US deer and Fort Detrick.
