But still, for me the concerning part is how proponents of the lab leak theory were treated in social media, expressions of it even theoretically being suppressed. Only now, on some of those forums, can one talk about it without being suppressed or punished for it.

I mostly agree with that, and it harmed credibilities when the…[Read more]

PB’s broken record repeats: The world should care about both the lab leak and the zoonotic possibilities wrt future pandemics. Because lab leaks, even the intentional biowarfare kind, are increasingly possible. While zoonotic origins are already historically proven in pre…[Read more]

I meant to post this one too, it is a good podcast episode. It’s only 27 minutes long, y’all.

What’s the use? Your and my interaction here looks like we’re just talking at a brick wall between us. And the brick wall is a display with YouTube running on it.

@Simon thank you, great link. I listened to the whole thing, and my favorite episode is #7 because it presents a nice overview. The other episodes are also great, while I’d add that #1 through #6 are basically in order of their historical occurrence.

@unseen – you might be interested in this BBC programme https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001mdfw/episodes/player

It’s several 30 minute episodes of audio only, which I like because it allows me to do other work while listening. This link makes it slightly easier to skip the first, intro episode, and then jump from one e…[Read more]
