# Daszak's Unique (COI) Position

***[Bat Lady](http://formosahut.com/forum/index.php?id=2055)** (Shi Zheng-li), **[The Dark Knight](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/books/lin-fa-wang-the-dark-knight/page/the-godfather-of-bat-viruses)** (Linfa Wang), **& Batman** (Pete)*

**Peter Daszak - The Guardian**

*Our **15 years of work in China** now puts us in a **unique position** to identify, with a **remarkable degree of confidence**, the likely origin of Covid-19.*

Agreed - it does. It also puts you in a *unique* conflict of interest position - whereby one might be tempted to suppress incriminating evidence and spread disinformation in order to cover one’s *unique* arse.

*(W)e reported 781 genetic sequences of bat-origin coronaviruses previously unknown to scientists (including) the closest known relatives to Sars-CoV-2.*

Good job. Again confirming that the *closest **known** relative**s*** (not only RaTG13) *to SARS-Cov-2* were held at WIV ... prior to the Covid outbreak. That bears repeating, not only RaTG13, but other undisclosed bat viruses collected from all over the SE Asia *"hotspots"* were held at the Bat Lab.

If you have other viruses at WIV *closely related* to Covid, why haven't you released them? Sorry, *made them public* is better phrasing, coz you may well have *released* them, right? With a few modifications.

***All** are carried by horseshoe bats that are found across southern China* (1000 kilometres away) *and neighbouring countries.* (even further away)

But not Wuhan. That’s why [Bat Lady thought](http://formosahut.com/forum/index.php?id=2055) it had leaked from the lab.

*Our report firmly concludes that Covid-19 originated in bats, **in a hotspot** **of viral evolution** along the border of Yunnan province in China, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam.*

Hang on Pete, that’s illogical and/or misleading. All it proves is that Covid is related to a strain of virus that the *Bat Pack* held at WIV, which we already suspected & you've now *horse's-mouth* confirmed. Still don't know all the different kinds or what crazy GoF-shit you had cooking-up with them though. We don't know that coz the database was taken down on **Sep 12, 2019**.

Whatever: it definitely doesn’t prove the geographical origin of the outbreak to have been 1000s of ks away from where it actually broke-out - right-next-door to the Bat Lab in Wuhan.

*Unfortunately, this sort of logic* (illogical logic) *will not deter **conspiracy theorists*** (such as former head of MI6 [Sir Richard Dearlove](https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3945654), the guy you're arguing with).

You're right there, Pete, it won't deter us from getting to The Origin of Covid. If anything, it casts more suspicion on WIV - the real "*hotspot" of viral evolution* - with a little evolutionary help from your friends.

You were all there busily GoFFing-up viruses, to *make them contagious to humans* (to get more funding, weirdly), when, against all your predictions, there was an outbreak in Wuhan, *right-next-door* to the Bat Lab.

Now you want to rule out a leak from WIV? That’s not logical.

RatG13, the closest known relative to SARS-Cov-2, was [collected from the same Yunnan cave](https://heraclitusoncovid19.com/origin-of-covid-19/) where 6 miners contracted a suspected *SARS-like illness* in 2012 according to a [Kun Ming Medical University paper](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6981198-Analysis-of-Six-Patients-With-Unknown-Viruses.html) at the time. Three of them died.

On one hand, WIV scientists (Shi Zhengli) [dismissed that 2102 report](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55364445) as being *neither based on evidence nor logic, (b)ut used by conspiracy theorists to doubt me,* saying the miners merely had a fungal infection, not a coronavirus.

On the other hand, they’re (EHA/WIV) saying, *with a remarkable degree of confidence*, that the same viruses collected from that cave, *the closest known relative**s** to SARS-CoV-2*, are responsible for the super-contagious-to-humans virus, Covid. Those propositions are contradictory.

[For the record](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/books/dominic-e-dwyer-who-investigator/page/sars-origin-of-scio-celebrity), there is no firm evidence that a deadly bat-coronavirus has ever directly infected a human in the wild & become contagious to other humans. Despite what you hear. The narrative always involves some *mysterious intermediary species*. The more we investigate the origin of Covid, the more that intermediary species looks to be *THE Scientists* themselves.
