IIT-Delhi Scientists Withdrew Research on Evolution of SARS-CoV-2, Still Believe “Possible Laboratory Contamination Cannot be Ruled Out” -

“We still believe there is 'something odd' in terms of duration of evolution and acquisition of the inserts. We have been following up various papers and reports but are no longer actively involved in finding the origin", said the lead researcher.

'Rare' Genome Sequencing Almost Certainly Proves COVID WAS Deliberately Made in a Chinese Lab Before it Leaked to the World: Another Expert Study Makes Bombshell Claim - Andrew Court - JUN 7, 2021
COVID-19 has the genome sequencing combination of 'CGG-CGG'
Two US experts say that no naturally occurring coronavirus has ever had that combination
The 'CGG-CGG' combination is extremely rare, except when used by scientists doing 'gain-of-function' in laboratories
The experts conclude that it is more likely than not that the virus was therefore created in a lab
In recent weeks, many of the world's top scientists have pushed to determine whether the virus was leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology

https://open.spotify.com/episode/6jtPe9hpFjdDUc6uJcv1x2
Part 1 - JUL 08, 2021 (44min)
In part one of Origins: Birth of a Pandemic, we meet Dr. Jonathan Latham of the Bioscience Resource Project and Independentsciencenews.org. Dr. Latham talks about how he came to believe that it was likely that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID19, escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). We also hear that a network of independent researchers called D.R.A.S.T.I.C. came together to work towards to discover the true source of the virus, and in doing so, confirmed that the closest relative of SARS-CoV-2 is actually a virus that Dr. Shi Zhengli of the WIV partially sequenced back in 2016, and further, that the virus is connected to a mystery pneumonia suffered by six men from Yunnan, China, back in 2012. Special Thanks to Nick Jikomes for use of his interview of Dr. Alina Chan from his podcast, Good Chemistry.
https://open.spotify.com/episode/261gkylAgfgdNrUK41LZBB
Part 2 - JUL 08, 2021 (43min)
In Part Two of Origins: Birth of a Pandemic, we explore the concept of gain of function research by hearing scientists like Ralph Baric and Marc Lipsitch discuss its promise as well as its pitfalls. We are also rejoined by Dr. Latham, who outlines his hypothesis of how SARS-CoV-2 came into being, and Mr. Demaneuf of D.R.A.S.T.I.C. explains that the databases of the Wuhan Institute of Virology were mysteriously taken offline before the pandemic supposedly began.
https://open.spotify.com/episode/1rhwDUbNef0FkIFmvyQQjh
Part 3 - JUL 08, 2021 (39min)
In part three of Origins: Birth of a Pandemic, we learn about Peter Daszak, the head of the Eco Health Alliance, a conservation group that has funneled NIH and other government funding to Dr. Shi Zhengli and her team at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Daszak was also given a slot on the WHO investigation team that was belatedly sent to China to try and determine the source of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in early 2021. Then, the tide turns in the US in the spring of 2021, and discussion of the lab leak hypothesis is no longer a taboo. Special thanks to Dr. Vincent Racaniello for use of his interview with Peter Daszak from his podcast, This Week In Virology.
https://open.spotify.com/episode/03RkZig1mhEhZz2Bt2jKRs
Part 4 - SEP 15, 2021 (43min)
In Part Four of Origins: Birth of a Pandemic, we meet Paul Thacker, an independent journalist who has written for the British Medical Journal, and discuss just how various scientific publications were used to steer public opinion away from the lab leak hypothesis. We also speak with founding member of DRASTIC, Yuri Deigin, about some of the more suspicious characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 genome.
https://open.spotify.com/episode/1wgKKwRuaR4RWb4aZoRKF1
Part 5 - OCT 6, 2021 (38min)
n Part 5 of Origins, we hear from Dr. Filippa Lentzos and Dr. Alina Chan who both spoke at an online conference about the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus about pandemic investigations and the likelihood of a spillover in Wuhan, respectively. Then we hear again from Dr. Jonathan Latham who describes his phylogeographic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 related viruses and how they highlight that SARS-CoV-2 is a virus whose constituent parts all appear to come from Yunnan, China and the surrounding area.
https://open.spotify.com/episode/6fMzFT4CV9gYQl95HHBu4C
Part 6 - OCT 28, 2021 (43min)
In Part 6 of Origins, Paul Thacker joins us again to talk about the revelations contained within the NIH grant award documents to the Eco Health Alliance, as well as what was contained in the Eco Health Alliance's DEFUSE grant application to DARPA. Drastic made the DEFUSE documents available to the public after a whistleblower leaked these documents to them. We also hear Dr. Linfa Wang defend why he kept quiet about Eco Health's stated goal of adding a furin cleavage site to SARS-like viruses back in 2018.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson's Remarks on Disinformation about COVID-19 Origins Tracing Disseminated by US Congressmen - AUG 03, 2021
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Peoples Republic of China
"If these US congressmen do have a sense of responsibility, even a tinge of it, for their own people, they should urge the US government to release at the earliest the medical records of those infected in the unexplained outbreaks of respiratory disease in Virginia and the large-scale EVALI in Wisconsin and Maryland in 2019, and of US military personnel who fell ill during the Military World Games in Wuhan, and to allow a thorough international probe into Fort Detrick lab and the 200-plus US biological labs overseas.
As to gain of function research on coronaviruses, the US has provided more funding and conducted more experiments in this area than anyone else. Why don’t the congressmen find out if there is such research at home and whether or not it may create the novel coronavirus?"

REVEALED: 26 out of the 27 Lancet Scientists Who Trashed Theory that COVID Leaked from a Chinese Lab have Links to Wuhan Researchers -
Chris Jewers - SEP 11, 2021
The Lancet letter published in March 2020 called claims that Covid-19 originated in lab 'conspiracy theories'
It was signed by 27 scientists from across the globe working in virology and other medical science fields
The widely-read letter effectively ended all debate about origins of the global coronavirus pandemic
Investigation by The Telegraph has found 26 out of 27 had connections to China's Wuhan Institute of Virology

Chasing scientific renown, grant dollars, and approval from Dr. Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak transformed the environmental nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance into a government-funded sponsor of risky, cutting-edge virus research in both the U.S. and Wuhan, China. Drawing on more than 100,000 leaked documents, a V.F. investigation shows how an organization dedicated to preventing the next pandemic found itself suspected of helping start one.
