      RIDDLE ME THIS—and not to diminish this important preprint..but before we get carried away.. if the Chinese are so cunning & dead-set on covering up the origin of SARS-CoV-2, why would they upload data to a US government-controlled database in the first place?https://twitter.com/jbloom_lab/status/1407445604029009923 …

      In a new study, I identify and recover a deleted set of #SARSCoV2 sequences that provide additional information about viruses from the early Wuhan outbreak: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.18.449051v1 … (1/n)

      decision to upload was done by doctors / scientists doing their jobs, decision to delete was done by central party decree / order is my guess.

      Exactly. It’s not the same parties. So much of this discussion has been eliding lessons of authoritarianism 101.

      (Plus, of course the bureaucrat/party side has their own scientists, so the assumption they'd be too stupid to distinguish things is not warranted. There are scientists wrapped up with the authoritarians, too. But *most* regular scientists are just unfree, not unscientists).

      No doubt Chinese govt is trying to curate and control the narrative. Not convinced what it means exactly. And their secrecy and sketchy behavior certainly does not mean the virus came from WIV.

      By now though, state must be feeling incentives to release any countervailing data they haven't already shared. Unless it relates to something else that needs covering up even more! Also 100th birthday party for The Party coming soon.. They'd rather look sinister than clueless?

      The serendipitous discovery of an academic who happened to have researched the underground pangolin trader network in Wuhan from 2017 to November 2019, with their written consent, of course, documenting the vast tunnels of secret farms under the stalls in the Huanan market?😁

      If it were the Middle East, or Belarus, I guess, a slightly disheveled bat would soon appear on TV, with a *very* sincere confession—that it is in no way reading off the teleprompter. Just decided to come clean on that recombination, guilty conscience. Only wishes to apologize!
