Wow, the part about the DoD rejecting the program initially really stood out to me. If those documents are so clear, how can we ensure such critical findings are always transparently integreated into public health decisions?

$1M question I don't have an answer for, but here is Gimlett's testimony on the rejected proposal:

It turns out he lied (by omission) b/c he contacted Daszak after rejection to entertain funding parts of the proposal:

Great work thank you very much. It is of utmost importance to achieve transparency in this catastrophe.

Excellent compilation.

Much much better when you get out of your own way Jim.

Transformative change is difficult.

Well done.

I know what you mean and appreciate. The book has a different theme than a Twitter fight:

"The 446-page book barely mentions Ebright, but its premise was built around a single question: Why does this Old World virus called SARS2 love New World lab animals? Over 100 scientists were asked this same question, but my book provided an answer."

But I don't write the book unless there was a fight on Twit.

From a CogSci perspective Twitter discourse is a great engine for extended mind thinking…exploring many sides of an argument proactively.

But books are still king.

I've told Brian Martin about my book. I like his blog on the Suppression of dissent:

Yep

Prof B Martin was my MA thesis supervisor in STS at UOW.

They say don’t meet your hero…but Brian Martin is a great bloke and a very good teacher.

I am a clumsy student…he was very patient.

Murphy's footnote #20 is my favorite: "Keeping this [PRC origin] bracketed in case it turns out the spike protein was designed and/or made in the US and tested in Wuhan."

The direction of this part of Murphy’s thinking

https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-p-d-murphy

...is a lead up to his next paper which goes into an After Action type assessment of the Biological Warfare impact of COVID.

https://brownstone.org/articles/retsef-malone-need-top-secret-clearances-for-covid-19-vaccine-review/

<<This is the reason the origin of SARS2 must be known. Not for retribution or reconciliation, not to prevent a man-made pandemic from occurring again. These are valid, but are not the reason. It must be known to accurately assess the demographic damage from the response, to know the near and long-term effects, to know the myocardial state of the nation’s fighting-aged men, and to know the cruel annual compound interest in deaths the mRNA decision will bring, to know the citizenry’s vulnerability to the [PRC]20 spike protein, to know the duration of our civilization’s vulnerability. >>

The costs of COVID are ongoing so an After Action report is still premature.

There are basic questions here that go to Civilian control of Military…which in PRC/PLA is simply not an option with CivMil fusion the enforced norm…and in US and similar democracies Civil control of Military is a constant work in progress.

There are still many questions unanswered …but not unanswerable…silencing is pervasive.

Zero Day pressures are skewing disclosures and discourse in the COVID origin research to date and the BioStrategic direction in general…and will go on for sometime.

https://smallwarsjournal.com/2025/03/15/video-zero-day-tv-series-illustrates-what-a-chinese-invasion-of-taiwan-could-look-like/

The BioStrategic convergence of AI and BioSynthetics is creating the necessary analysis tools and considered discourses that can and have been then turned to the question of COVID origin.

https://www.foreignaffairs.com/world/new-bioweapons-covid-biology

What this reveals so far is an international effort to explore dangerous experimental virology that for various reasons has been unchecked and appears will continue unchecked and unchallenged …possibility until we are and all life as we know it is extinct…This is the doom angle.

https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1006698&type=printable

There is broad culpability and multiple angles to understand the ongoing institutional failures.

https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/radionational-breakfast/csiro-rejects-claims-its-working-with-chinese-lab/12215118

But there is skew.

Propaganda on all sides.

In Australia we are currently battling Magic Weapons at all levels of society that are toxic to even discuss overtly.

Eventually parts of the whole that are quieter than the rest will become more understood.

Don’t kid yourself that the Biological Warfare implications here start and end in the US.

Where there is transparency there is also an honesty and urgency that can be taken for granted.

Truth and Justice are broad terms…

https://jamestown.org/a-five-year-plan-for-managed-confrontation/

…while biodefense measures and means are still unfolding there are few options available to the institutions involved.

https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/ATA-2023-Unclassified-Report.pdf#page33

There are many aspects that are still unfolding.

Be more patient Jim.

Confirmation bias is a sinister flaw when combined with a desire to target a particular group with an outcome that is based in prejudice…this works in all directions…but it is something you have to fix for yourself…or readers will continue to shelve your work as motivated by strategic aims that seek to further muddy waters.

Out of all those many links, you provide 0 evidence for a lab leak. Why? Because you don't have any. Now, why do your fellow countrymen get it but not you? What are your motivations?

There is lots of evidence.

Quay's book is important from this perspective.

My main concern is the prosecution of crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court of The Hague.

Many people from all over our world need to be able to face justice because of their links to COVID Origin.

This is my motivation.

When I have more details I will send word.

We all like Quay, but he thinks Baric is innocent, even though Baric "bullied" Quay during the State Dept meeting.

https://x.com/jhas5/status/1944024465030950963?s=20

Going to assume you fell down Quay's "immune evasion" Orf8 bioweapon rabbit hole. But that was a Baric speciality for animal vaccines.
