Comments

Cjbevan: One of the authors, Matt Ridley, I first heard on youtube; and after the second time around I then looked up this book, which he co-authored. The idea of the lab-leak origin has been around for a while, mooted by people such as Bret Weinstein , and notoriously publicised by Donald Trump, immediately thus discrediting the idea in the eyes of many.
The book goes carefully though the data, the theory, and the history of the trawl for data, in order to try to find out the story behind it. A strange, perhaps bizarre and even possibly sinister conclusion is that there is no conclusive evidence produced as to its origin; it remains unknown.
This is strange, even bizarre, because an enormous amount of energy has been expended at this question, and a lot of very well equipped minds and laboratories have endeavoured to find it, and so far, found nothing at all. It is sinister, because at every stage of meaningful links or evidences being found, the Chinese government systematically has destroyed evidences and data, obfuscated explanations, or forbade examination.
For these reasons; the destruction of data, and the forbidding of examination, and the disingenuous, obfuscation of...

Witch: Storia avvincente e supportata da argomentazioni e prove convincenti

Italy on Feb 05, 2022

PJochum: Ich habe schon mehrere Bücher von Matt Ridley gelesen, aber dieses ist das spannendste! Die Akribie und Unvoreingenommenheit, mit der die beiden Autoren Informationen zusammengetragen und bewertet haben, ist faszinierend und wissenschaftlich vorbildlich. Das Buch ist auch für einen naturwissenschaftlich interessierten Laien lesbar, erfordert aber im Mittelteil doch einige Anstrengung. Angenehm ist's auf dem Kindl zu lesen: Da hält man den Finger auf den unbekannten Begriff und bekommt die Übersetzung. Man lernt nicht nur viel über die Corona-Geschichte, sondern generell eine ganze Menge über moderne Virusforschung, deren gefährliche Experimente (gain-of-function) nicht nur in China, sondern auch in USA, und über die unsägliche Rolle der WHO und der chinesischen Regierung. Die Idee der Autoren, die beiden sich gegenüberstehenden Hypothesen - Laboratory-Leak oder Zoonosis - am Schluss in Form einer Art virtueller Gerichtsverhandlung von zwei Anwälten vortragen zu lassen, macht das Buch fast zu einem Krimi. Man kann nicht aufhören zu lesen. Ebenfalls faszinierend ist die Aktualität: Die beiden Autoren haben Ereignisse bis Ende September 2021 im Buch verarbeitet. Sie...

Harish Seshadri: This book traces the fascinating story of the search for the origins of SARS-CoV2. The possibilities of a lab-leak and a natural spillover are both discussed in great detail. While there is no conclusive evidence for either hypothesis, the authors lay out formidable circumstantial evidence for the former. As for the latter, the only evidence is that all pandemics in the past have originated from natural spillovers.

Whatever the origin, the most disturbing thing I learnt was how unregulated science can go astray and put the whole world at risk. A small group of virologists across the world construct highly pathogenic viruses, under the pretext of preventing pandemics. The most notorious one, constructed in 2013 in Natherlands, had a 50% mortality rate and was highly infectious. These ultra risky experiments are not monitored, let alone regulated, by any international agency. This is in stark contrast to nuclear research, where one has the IAEA.

The book is written in an engaging fashion but with meticulous attention to detail. It is a fantastic read - highly recommended!

Sotto voce: It was in 2012 that a >97-99%, ACTG protein production instruction set for SARS-Covid later covid-19 was genetically revealed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). No one was told. Unintended papers inferred and 18 months later admitted that 2 mining victims were the first humans to die in that year. A WIV chief would early on say that the peculiar mining deaths were meaningless. People die in small villages every day. Nothing would come of it. Except, that chief knew and was operationally expert with a very dark secret. She had a famous American scientist associate who knew the same thing.

China's Covid-19 secrets have been progressively revealed by an informal, global team of known and anonymous data scientists, odd fellows and viral scientists coagulated online under the acronym "Drastic" to embrace the challenge of discovering "Where did covid-19 come from?"

Have we heard about the "bombshell" investigation from Drastic and perhaps a majority of esteemed virologists dissatisfied with CCP response? No, the MSM has not mentioned that a majority of virologists with a few staunch, well-known, exceptions have come to accept that a Wuhan lab escape proposition....

A. Menon: Almost two years into the Pandemic facing a further mutated and more infectious virus there is no conclusion on the origin of the virus. There is also a complete lack of interest out of China to allow for a forensic investigation and the consequences of which is that there is now a significant lack of trust in the conclusions out of China or the WHO. Viral explores this topic with much detail and gives the whole history of interaction between scientists in China and their international peers. Furthermore they go through how random individuals trawling through public databases found clues about the genome overlap Covid-19 and bat genomes associated with miner deaths in Yunnan a decade ago. The story is woven together well and the cases are made for both sides with the evidence weighing more heavily, but not with certainty, on a virus accidentally escaping from a lab. It is quite gripping as well as highly concerning.

The book weaves together a dense story starting with the mysterious death of several miners in Mojiang County in 2012. In a bat cave in this county several miners came down with pneumonia and significant health deterioration with unknown origins. Speculations...
