Nice piece.

It was interesting to read Lipkin's interview with the majority's investigator - to see where he differs to some degree with Holmes and I guess, Anderson. And basically it's not with respect to the likelihood of the virus being engineered, but with the plausibility of a lab leak via a worker infected while collecting specimens or SCoV-2 evolving through serial passaging in the lab. It would be interesting to read a similar piece on what Anderson might have to say about the differences with Lipkin, or a piece on Lipkin's perspective.

BTW - you refer to "Collin" when it should. be "Collins?"

Dear Philipp,

Great article. It would be good if you and Sam, or you and TWIV, made a video on this scientific process undertaken in the early days of the investigation.

The attacks on the authors are disgraceful and the narrative against them is out of control.

Thanks,

Ricardo

I wuld enjoy doing that by we are all exhausted; for every falsehood that gets refuted, 10 more come up, dazzle the audience into submission until they forgot that they have been sold the same false story before.

The asymmetry of effort between telling falsehoods versus correcting them, makes it impossible to keep up with media manipulators.

"Jasnah Kholin’s, a corona virologist based in Hong Kong, words rang in my ear. She had been amused by the false shadows Kristian had been chasing, but this was of course with the power of hindsight."

Is this a pseudonym?

Yes, Jasnah is a pseudonym, the person prefers to remain pseudonymous

I thought it might be, as otherwise I'd have to ask if she had a brother Adolin
