"Consider the following list of publication titles, many accepted in prestigious journals, from between 2005 and the start of the pandemic in late 2019. They are all authored by Zheng-li Shi. These eighteen research papers constitute the main focus of her published output. What they have in common is that all use the phrase “SARS-like coronavirus” or, later, “SARS-related coronavirus” or a close variant (all are bolded below). These phrases should be understood as technical terms. They denote viruses extremely closely related to SARS and only distantly related to other coronaviruses:...
...What this list demonstrates is that, while Zheng-li Shi at the WIV focused on virus collection, above all, she dedicated her research to understanding zoonotic spillovers to humans of one species alone: the SARS-related coronaviruses.
...We now know, for example, that, at the time of the outbreak, Zheng-li Shi and her colleagues had in their freezers the virus sample known as RaTG13. Among all the known coronaviruses, including within the SARS-related coronaviruses, RaTG13 is by far the closest relative of SARS-CoV-2. We also know that Zheng-li Shi implied she had not actively studied RaTG13 prior to the outbreak (in Zhou et al, 2020). We now know this was false and they had been studying it since at least 2017 (Zhou et al. 2020 addendum). These facts again do not support a natural zoonotic origin."
Why China and the WHO Will Never Find a Zoonotic Origin For the COVID-19 Pandemic Virus

The forum / Re: Forum Decorum

I've noticed that this site is moderated by people that really need to understand that science, ideology and narrative aren't interchangeable. Stripping away any science that doesn't fit your preferred ideology/narrative is unscientific. Then there are the unscientific sheepdogs that make the same mistake. It's really quite stunning to behold and it's always far easier to delete, or pile on in a riotous outburst of childish emotion, rather than make a rational counter-argument. It has nothing to do with science. delete, delete, delete.
I've even had songs deleted in the music thread, hilarious, and pathetic. The day the science died.

There was far more going on than Orange Man Bad. The US and UK are also home to Wall St. and The City of London, globalization and neoliberal policies. Nobody wanted to shut down and the flat fact is that governments lied about masks as they didn't want locusts descending on supplies that they needed for front-line workers. When China started welding doors shut that got my attention and I found Chris Martenson and Dr. John Campbell on Y-tube. You can go back and watch their early videos as they're both pulling their hair out over the contradictory mess as it unfolded. Despite the Canadian Gov't telling us that masks didn't work we were wearing them, i had some carpentry dust masks on hand and then my wife made some.
Dr. John Campbell is still providing good info.
