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.

I find it inconceivable that someone as sophisticated as Sachs could think that by the Summer of 2020. I wrote him a letter when he named Daszak and he never responded. Sachs has played similar games before.

Thank you for the informative response and it's clear you know more about him than I do. I've seen him as a rather avuncular academic who can be gulled by those who hold similar ivory tower credentials while using them as a cover to mask true intent.

I've posted the letter and I get into this in some detail w Thad in the interview I just posted.

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?

it’s simple to me, either this is a defensive measure for the good of all mankind as they, the Biden camp, are now claiming and all findings are made public and available to the broader international community, or it is not.
