I'm very happy I was recently gifted a subscription to your Substack and thank you for this most informative post. I think my wife and I came to most of your conclusions in about the same timeframe as you. I'd like to add a comment on your point regarding Jeffrey Sachs' appointment of Peter Daszak. If I remember correctly, in an interview Sachs stated he regretted the move but did so because he naively accepted that Daszak would provide an unbiased report.

Decades ago someone pointed out that there is no way to distinguish offensive from defensive research on biowarfare/biological pathogens.i think that point stands, no?

Have you ever spoken with Laurie Garrett about this? I know; she ended up working with CFR, but she wrote The Coming Plague in the mid-'90s, the best book (along with Lab 257, which focuses on on the biowarfare researchdone at Olim Island) I've ever read on origins and trajectories of comnunicable disease.

Finally, re Plum Island (whose history is being erased/re-written by propaganda on YouTube), the new location is Kansas or something. Great idea, no, to put bioweapons research in the center of the landmass, among cattle and tornadoes?
