We return to the never ending lab leak discourse with four actual virologists. Something you might imagine would be more common but sadly is not. Out now on podcast, out soon on YouTube.

I'm a Wildlife Biologist who has carefully investigated Covid's Origin and can counter claims about presence in Wuhan of 'candidate' intermediate wildlife hosts, & can refute claims about China's wildlife trade supplying live animals to Wuhan from Yunnan Prov. or southeast Asia.

Yes and look even ignoring that you’ve got Grok agreeing with you!
Grok AI indicates👇the likelihood that the FCS of SARS-CoV-2 was added via experimental manipulation is greater than the likelihood of it being added via a recombination event between a Sarbecovirus & a virus in a different subgenus of BetaCoV (or in a diff genus of Coronavirus).

Ha. There's been a heinous unsolved mass-murder, lets bring on the guys with dried blood all over their shirts, dried blood from laundering their colleagues clothes and let's let them lead the public investigation too - lemme guess? they've concluded there was, in fact, no heinous murder? And its pretty likely a knife emerged naturally and stabbed 20mil people?

If only there was a large body of scientific evidence we could consult that might shed some light on the topic. Alas... we will have to rely on your analogies!

PICARD: Data, shields up DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy. [camera shakes] WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't

Exactly. He says zero, others say a tiny tiny tiny bit. The positions really aren’t that far apart — why don’t we split the difference?

This is just the sort of thing a p-zombie would Tweet in order to convince people it is truly conscious.

Love this clip from today. Triggernometry has a climate change denialist Ian Plimer on to set him up with softballs. Their "pushback" questions are always "why do those lying climate change scientists disagree with you?" Then after he lays out a series of false, debunked, and misleading claims, they follow it up with a "how could anyone disagree with the obvious truths you are spouting?"
The Triggernometry boys give tough interviews. I think the most common question asked on Triggernometry (usually following an insane rant by a crank) is "isn't it a sign that the world has gone crazy that anybody disagrees with you about that?"
