4 years after my first Medium article on Covid origins, I wrote another one. In it, I make the case that SARS-CoV-2 is precisely the virus WIV was hunting for in 2019. yurideigin.medium.com/sars-cov-2-is-… Below is a thread on the key points:
People ask: What are the chances SARS-CoV-2 emerged near a lab specializing in SARS-like viruses? A more precise question might be: What are the chances SARS-CoV-2 emerged near the lab looking for SARS 2.0?
People ask: What are the chances SARS-CoV-2 emerged near a lab specializing in SARS-like viruses? A more precise question might be: What are the chances SARS-CoV-2 emerged near the lab looking for SARS 2.0?
The lab leak #OriginOfCovid theory is simple. Scientists studied a dangerous virus at low biosafety. It leaked. The continued lack of investigation + the dishonesty of scientists who knew of the risky work in Wuhan is driving distrust in science & actual conspiracy theories.

In an article from 2012 in the aftermath of Ron Fouchier's GoF experiment that resulted into an airborne strain of the H5N1 bird flu virus, @JeremyFarrar stresses that everyone needs “to be convinced there is absolute biosecurity…” I’m not convinced… theguardian.com/world/2012/mar…
EcoHealth wanted to stop a novel virus from spilling out of a bat cave. That only cities have the population to support an outbreak is a post hoc rationalization Lipkin is listed as a participant! Seems like he was invited on PO as a token virus hunter; the rest were skeptical
Here is @EcoHealthNYC's slide. Among other things, they intended to use humanized lab animal models and non-human primates. (h/t @capitolsheila)
Ethics? Did I read "ethics"?
@Bryce_Nickels making money out of accusing scientists now he? some ethics...
Why are governments funding Nipah research? My concern is governments are primarily interested in funding Nipah virus research to develop novel bioweapon agents. This has nothing to do with the content of a preprint.
SARS1 leaked thrice from a BSL3 in Beijing in 2004. "The first two cases were not even noticed at the time." Great post by @gdemaneuf pointing out why armchair epidemiology is only good for getting a publication (or two).
