"Scientists – like journalists – should follow evidence until it is disproved, even when it leads into uncomfortable terrain. Anything else is a betrayal of their creed." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9155487/IAN-BIRRELL-Itll-unforgivable-insult-dead-world-lets-China-bury-truth.html?ito=amp_twitter_share-top via @MailOnline

"Why didn’t [Shi Zhengli] mention the ‘furin cleavage site’ when publishing the genetic sequence for Sars-Cov-2, despite analysing its other novel features?"

"Why did she claim three miners died of a fungal infection in 2012 although it later emerged they died from a mysterious respiratory disease caught while clearing bat droppings in one of those caves?"

"Why did she obscure a link to their fatalities when publishing a key Nature paper about the closest known relative to Sars-Cov-2?"

"Why did she change the name of this sampled virus without any mention of her action in that influential paper, which was taken as indication of natural transmission? Why didn’t she publish any data about her discovery of a new Sars virus?"

"Why did she not mention eight more Sars viruses collected from the mine until she had to clarify that paper in Nature after inconsistencies were spotted? Why have their details still not been shared?

So many questions. So few answers."
