In the Name of the Holy Science

Following the accumulation of a mountain of evidence by unpaid netizens, the fattest rats started jumping ship in Mar, 2021, a year after the event.

Tedros went from: China’s commitment to transparency and supporting other countries .. is.. impressive, and beyond words.

To:
(Mar31,2021) Although the team has concluded that a laboratory leak is the least likely hypothesis, this requires further investigation.

In May, Ralph Baric, GoF bat-virus WIV collaborator, engineer suspect, who'd supported WIV to the hilt, suddenly released a statement saying:

theories of accidental release from a lab .. remain viable.

Fauci soon followed with his own ratty qualifications.

These subtle acknowledgements of the bleeding obvious sound innocuous, but they came off the back of a year of  co-ordinated vilification by scientists of scientists - for THE Science.

God help you if you were a non-scientist. 

You were dismissed as irrelevant, outright BANNED by media from having any input into the seismic shift in humanity currently unfolding. 

Rule 1: There is only one God - who's pronoun is the sovereign authority of Expertism on Everything (scientists)

Rule 2: See rule 1

Existential threat  is an over-used media buzz-word - but - we've got a live one!

Our freedoms being permanently deleted  by The X-perts  - due to:  a virus caused/covered-up by The X-perts.  Crime of the Century happening in real time!

But all we hear now is radio silence*

The Backflip Olympics happened around the time as the normal Olympics - but less widely covered. 

Intriguingly, it came after Team WHO had completed their investigation on behalf of the world and mounted a mega-platformed campaign to sell it. 

Main point:  a lab-leak is extremely unlikely and the X-perts had closed the lid on it. 

Dr. Peter Ben Embarek, WHO mission head declared, it was "not in the hypotheses that we will suggest for future studies".

All the others WHO-X-perts echoed those remarks

In other words, the lab-leak was dead to WHO.  Move on. 

As such, this subtle signalling from Tedros was actually a blaring betrayal for those who can translate Scio-pol expert-speak.

(Aside: Whatever you might think about Tedros, he’s a cunning old fuck - always survives - somehow - though his friends don’t.  How on earth can someone who was praising the CCP transparency to high-heaven, who ensured Covid escaped into the world by advising against border closures - how can that person keep his public-funded job? Not only did he keep it, he was elected unopposed (!) for another term.)

Tedros's subtle signalling sent shockwaves through the scientific community, the media, and politicians.   It precipitated a quiet rush of the experts trying to distance themselves - from themselves. 

Paraphrase:  It’s not that we ever dismissed a lab-leak entirely - extremely unlikely doesn't mean impossible - we never said that -  merely there was no evidence.

(Edit: there are some more nuanced ones evolving now:  we were afraid  - of political repercussions so we had to lie/play politics.  Same scientists who kept insisting they were taking the politics out.   Or - the cover-up was caused by a small group of scientists that managed to create a mass-illusion that duped us all - the so-called dumb fkn idiot defense.)

Caught in the precarious position of having to re-position, whilst desperately trying not to offend the CCP, or upset the Gravy Train, the X-perts pulled it off with aplomb.  They were helped by a compliant media that banned publication of dissent.
