Having read just about every bool related to SARS CoV2, I can declare that the best book on the subject is "COVID-19: Mystery Solved: It leaked from a Wuhan lab but it's not Chinese junk."
In terms of science, legitimacy, or prose fluency, no other book penned by anyone else comes even close to this one. Believe me, none.
This book would have made Capote (of In 'Cold Blood fame') both proud and envious.
Much appreciated Deepak. I didn't know about the 1959 Kansas murders or even the 2005 movie. A fellow prison inmate ratted them out. Sounds like what happened to Munster! I will read and watch.
An excess of conflicting interests points toward a likely outcome where the situation deteriorates into a chaotic exchange between two world powers, leaving objectivity and truth compromised.
It’s clear that Professor Streicker has either not read the myxoma in Australia story, or if he has, then he hasn’t understood it. You cannot predict what will be the effect of GM of any virus when it gets into the wild - you may call it a vaccine, but it is just a GM virus. The ones that have worked well in the past do not provide a precedent. The only safe option is to abandon this fraught option, and devise better non-infectious options.
It's all dumb experimentation. MERS genomes (eg, HKU5) have furin cleavage sites, but that Chinese experiment is in vitro (test tube), which can only infect technicians, not cause a transmission pandemic.
The WIV uses Vero cells, which delete the SARS2 furin cleavage site:

Sorry for the typo ,it should have been 'just about every book' instead of just about every bool.'
The book "In Cold Blood" is a first of its kind, very much like your book and equally riveting, apart from being written by a single person.
With painstaking work, and details from the culprits themselves. You will like it immensely.
I treasure these 2 books , yours and the one by Capote.
I repeat there is no other book on Covid that comes close to yours.

Agreed but Streicker et al is full steam ahead:

Have you seen Guy Reeves self-spreading vaccine blog? He discussed the Australian rabbit story.

Thanks for the important info...Passing it on
Shi Zhengli's just had a new HKU5-CoV-2 virus, also with furin cleavage site, it's all over the news now.

Maybe it's too soon to tell, but what do you think? May we have another pandemic?
It's related to MERS, so even though covid is mild, I'm worried about this one.
It's all dumb experimentation. MERS genomes (eg, HKU5) have furin cleavage sites, but that Chinese experiment is in vitro (test tube), which can only infect technicians, not cause a transmission pandemic.

SARS2 sarbecovirus don't naturally have furin cleavage sites. More here:
