Wang's WIV World

We've already seen Linfa's (CSIRO's) connection to WIV through dozens of papers with Shi-WIV/(+Daszak-EcoHealth) - but does it go deeper? Is that even possible?
Normally it would take weeks of painstaking research to untangle a subject's network of influence but luckily we can simply refer to Linfa's CV for the definitive answer.
(2005-): Honorary Professor, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Oh. So apart from the collabs, Linfa is an honorary WIV professor. Not even Daszak, Lipkin, or Honorary Eddie Holmes had that honour. Rarefied-air alert.
Keep scrolling though, to Invited Positions, you find this one:
(2007-present): Chair, Scientific Advisory Board, Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Whoa! Chair of the Advisory Board for WIV! From 2007 to the time of the outbreak. Still doing it.
How the heck was that sitting there in his online CV - but neither I (well i have now) nor anyone else has done a drill-down on this dude? That's one helluva powerful position in a country of 1.3 billion.
The goal of these investigations is to swim up stream - put names/faces to the them. In Linfa Wang, we've got a live one - operating at the interface of Sino/West bio-alliance. Linfa is the interface.
THE Science = Hunter Biden: entitled, addicted to hard drugs, off-the-rails, financially mixed up with the CCP
The question is: Who is THE Science's Daddy?
Hello Linfa Wang. It's a modern family situation - with several Daddies - but he's one of em.
We can safely assume that it was in his capacity as Chairman that he visited WIV from Jan 11 - 14. Lot of important stuff to advise about in those pivotal days.
The Feb 1 Teleconference was historic, but the January WIV Advisory Conference - a live event - predates that - it shaped it.
So what advice did Linfa share?
The following is an artistic rendering of what may have transpired ...
(Edit: No it's not. It's been movedsplit to a separate book where it's under construction)construction. Instead we'll go straight to Linfa's involvement with the Lancet Statement.)
