T<span style="font-weight: 400;">he TWIV love-in panelist puts it best:</span>[ <span style="font-weight: 400;">608</span>](https://youtu.be/IxwrDSYrhjU)*<span style="font-weight: 400;"> So you got into immuno-suppressive retroviruses - before HIV came along - and then worked on HIV - and then you got into emerging diseases - emerging infections - ahr - now of course we have a global pandemic of SARS-Covid-2, so i’m gonna be really really closely tracking what you do next!</span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;"> (general laughter)</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Me too!</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">TWIV forgot to mention Ebola. The founder</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of </span>[<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Consortium</span>](https://vhfc.org/growing-ebola-outbreak-threatens-to-overwhelm-volunteers-dr-robert-garry-discusses-the-situation-in-sierra-leone/)<span style="font-weight: 400;"> (with Andersen) which was [mixed up](https://dulandrift.formosahut.com/books/the-covid-atrocity/page/the-consortium) in the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, where they were researching Ebola as a</span>[ <span style="font-weight: 400;">bioweapon</span>](https://www.investorvillage.com/smbd.asp?mb=4245&mn=801930&pt=msg&mid=14219146)<span style="font-weight: 400;"> (to develop countermeasures). Origin never found but a narrative was: </span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;">the toddler, the hollow tree, and the bat in a remote Guinea village</span>*<span style="font-weight: 400;">.

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Claimed Prox O draft was finished by Feb 1, 2020, the night before Feb 1 Teleconference. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">[Garry on TWIV, 12:20:](https://youtu.be/IxwrDSYrhjU) *Eddie and the rest of us recognized that this was a virus that was gonna you know - it had a big chance of going the way it went just because the respiratory virus - and yeah - we started working on it really quite early. .. the first draft I think was complete in like **February 1st**.* </span>

[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Panelist, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">13:04: </span>](https://youtu.be/IxwrDSYrhjU?t=784)<span style="font-weight: 400;">So Robert, right from the get go there were theories about - well there were two right - which persist to this day - one is that it was manufactured in a lab and the other that it simply escaped in some way - so those were both - that’s part of the reason you wrote this right? - to deal with those ?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">**Garry:** *Well yeah! And when we wrote it we basically told ourselves, and it’s in an email chain and other things like that, we said we have to be **totally agnostic** about how this virus might have emerged.*</span>
