The Authors

In no particular order:


Edward C. Holmes: only non-Chinese scientist allowed into original genome sequence loop), teleconferencer, honorary professor at Fudan, Guest Prof, China CDC, Beijing  (2014-2020), has known Farrar & Gao since their career intersections at Oxford/Wellcome in the 90’s. Lead author - also with Andersen and Rambaut on: The Evolution of the Ebola virus: insights from the 2013-16 pandemic. The only thing known for certain about the origin of that outbreak is it's unknown to this day. A lab-leak is suspected. Are our experts also experts at writing shonky origin narratives?

 


Andrew Rambaut:

Man of Mystery. All the others have put themselves out there to pump the paper - but Rambaut stayed in the shadows. Still, you can judge a man by the company he keeps - Oxford - specifically Nuffield Department. DPhil from Oxford in 1997 places him there at the same time as brothers-in-arms Farrar, Gao, Holmes, Worobey. Evolutionary biologist specializing in emerging human viral pathogens (funny how the more human viral pathogenicists emerged as a fund-attracting force - the more emerging human viral pathogens emerged), genomic surveillance enthusiast, Feb 1 Teleconferencer, first person Holmes called with the sequence - published on his website, SAGE member (with Jeremy Farrar), futurist (as is Farrar), the blank photo above is from a conference titled: Next-generation molecular and evolutionary epidemiology of infectious disease: challenges and opportunities

 

Robert Garry: Tulane (since 1983)/Zalgen labs, NIH funded bioweapons expert (according to Andersen), member of The Consortium mixed up in the 2013-14 Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone - which was suss at the time - origin never found despite the toddler, the hollow tree, and the bat narrative in a remote village narrative that was promulgated without evidence by scientists - the got up as what happened - lab-exit candidate) Actually the TWIV love-in panelist put it best: 608 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! (general laughter)

 

 


Kristian Andersen: hotshot - youngest - lead-author - Scripps was hemorrhaging money when on Nov 27, 2019 Scripps announced joint Shenzhen Bay Laboratory a trans-Pacific chemical biology research collaboration ) -  Garry describes Andersen as a generational scientist - Once was a Twitter warrior - closed his account when the battle heated-up with Drastic.

Ian Lipkin - was brought on a little bit later as the celebrity scientist salesman (with more ties to high-ranking China officials than Marco Polo), was in China meeting Li Ke-chiang and George Gao (18:30) when Feb 1 teleconference happened. Has met Xi Jinping - I found him very impressive. Co-author of murky MERS-origin paper with Daszak in Saudi Arabia. Contagion advisor: I devised the imaginary virus that wreaks havoc in the film. Cool!



Fast Factoids: Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2:

  • displays a beautiful irony in it’s title

  • was, according to the authors, purpose-written to quell conspiracy theories around a possible lab-leak (theories originated by Chinese netizens, btw)

  • was partially funded by NIH/Francis Collins (H3Africa co-funder)

  • draft, according to Garry, was complete .. Feb 1st - same date as authors held strategy-session conference call with Farrar and Fauci. (Flashback: On Jan 31, Andersen (lead author) emailed Farrar/Fauci/Collins saying it looks engineered. That means - literally overnight - the authors changed their thinking 180 degrees, then re-researched/re-wrote/re-edited to - first draft - delivered (at MOU’s Feb 1 teleconference) a paper that clearly show(s) SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.) 

  • Or …they made it up.

  • 1707 citations so far - mostly positive ones. An altmetric score of 36,768 - which blows the previous world record of 11,980 out of the water.  Once Prox O breaks new ground as Exhibit A in the cover-up - which it’s about to - all bets are off

  • mega-platformed (via Nature, Guardian, CNN et al media) the pangolin/wetmarket discourse to irrefutably show Covid couldn’t possibly be a lab-leak. 

All this In the crucial nascent period. Where if we’d known it was a GoFFed-up lab bug on the loose - we could have reacted accordingly.

But wait - there’s a silver lining!

Nature, Sep 2020: Through the ‘Solidarity’ trials, the WHO has launched a global campaign to test therapeutic agents and vaccines on an unprecedented scale5. 

No, we’ll get to that in a different thread Nature, but we’re not going to be diverted from this question:

Was Proximal Origin knowingly concocted/pro-moed with the full-might of One-Everything - to cover up the origin of Covid?

We know the authors - we know all those who sold-it-on - but who was the master-mind? Who had the sheer audacity/the power to put this radical plan together? To create - the lie of the millenium - then enforce it - to shape/control world culture? 

You’re thinking Fauci - yes of course he’s in the mix - but the man who took the reins - in a crisis - brought it all together is:

Sir Jemery Farrar    - 

  • Convened/chaired the Feb 1 teleconference -

  • On-sold-it Feb 2 in a teleconference to Tedros 

Doesn’t seem like a long rap-sheet - but these were crucial plays - without which - none of this could have happened.

Farrar sees himself, as others do, as indeed he is: a PR genius. An ahead-of-the-curve calculator - decisive - man of action - not afraid to think big. 

This was Jeremy’s time to shine. For the public good. 

Once you make that decision - the truth - no longer matters - you prosecute your case the same way a good lawyer would.
