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.
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.
"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."
Nice piece.

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

Thanks,

Is this a pseudonym?
