Curious what the largest grain of salt sold at the Wuhan market is, so I can take it with Daszak's tweet. We know frozen anything is not a vector for covid, the paper itself says pangolins weren't sold, and somehow this key research from 2019 fortuitously emerges in June 2021. https://twitter.com/PeterDaszak/status/1401908087557177353 …

For my money, this is the best part of the paper. "Hello, fellow merchant. I am an independent observer unconnected with law enforcement.

So Daszak was instrumental in an earlier effort to shut down inquiry about Covid origins. No wonder the guy instablocks:https://twitter.com/alexandrosM/status/1401813071635501056 …
Pinboard added,
Alexandros Marinos @alexandrosMThe Lancet letter of Feb 18, 2020, sent a message to scientists the world over: Investigate a lab leak, and you will be tarred as conspiracy theorist.

if you haven't read the recent esquire piece on all this it's well worth it. Both the origin and vector pieces (engineered or not, was a lab leak involved either way) are still unknown. But Daszak and others got in the way of proper investigation as much as the Chinese govt did
