NIH director launches "Scientific Freedom" lectures with non-scientist https://arstechni.ca #climatechange #Bhattacharya #MattRidley #pandemic #Science #Lableak #Covid #NIH
Yet more evidence that the so-called 'lab leak theory' is utterly absurd, an entirely confected piece of nonsense born of the same anti-intellectual regressive populism that's poisoned every part of every political discourse over the last decade.

Besides these aspects, it was very interesting to learn about the people responsible for creating the #lableak myth and how the current media landscape was misused by agents with political and/or financial incentives to spread this myth.
#Lableak as the origin of SARS-CoV2 is an unproven political conspiratorial narrative. Zoonosis instead is a hypothesis backed up by scientific evidence.
If you are interested in the actual evidence, I recommend this book (online for free).

@philippmarkolin.bsky.social investigated the weird, conspiratorial evolution of the #lableak idea for #SARS-CoV2. This short overview, taken from his book “Lab Leak Fever” (chapter 10), nicely illustrates the impossibility to convince the “true believers” that a lab leak is just an unproven story/1
#Pandemic risk can only be reduced by #plantbased #diet. Without that, the #gainoffunction research must continue and will necessarily result in #lableak, #falseflag and (less likely) open bioattack.
Some very true words about the COVID-19 #lableak hypothesis:
“In fact, the continued lack of evidence for a lab leak would just be considered by fervent believers to be more evidence for the alleged extensiveness of the conspiracy. But what about scientific evidence pointing in the other direction?

Hat die #GWUP etwas gelernt? Sehe ich nicht.
Sie hat die neue ZDF-Doku so beworben: "[M]ittlerweile mehren sich auch unter Experten die Stimmen, die die #LabLeak -Theorie für möglich oder sogar wahrscheinlich halten."
Das ist sogar noch einseitiger als die (ohnehin nicht gerade gute) Dokumentation.

I teamed up with YouTuber Dave Farina to debunk the many conspiracy peddlers and false #lableak myths.
I will highlight a few clips any what topics we touched in this thread.
First up, every good debunk starts with explaining the scientific evidence:

More #lableak crankery, still getting debunked.
Holy nonsense. The slope downward to the endarkenment has been so fast.
And we can thank everyone in the #lableak gang who spread all this misinformation and got us here for this.
Damn.

ERNSTHAFT?!!
Was ist das für ein unverantwortlicher Aufmacher?!!!
Welche Hinweise verdichten sich für #LabLeak und dass #SARSCoV2 künstlich hergestellt wurde?
Wieso gebt ihr einem Autor, (Valentin Bruttel) einer höchst umstrittenen Studie so breit Platz? #Wiesendanger
#Covid #lableak theory remains a #farright conspiracy but shows distrust of #science www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... @theguardian.com
I had to later correct complete strangers shaking my hand and said that I predicted a #Zoonotic outbreak and this was a #LabLeak .. they knew then that the rumours were true when I would not claim complete success on my initial prediction
Apparently, the #lableak Twitter is suffering a breakdown because 3 #lableakers (one of whom may have turned coats recently) were fired from the NIH.
There is so much popcorn, but so little time to enjoy it.

@philippmarkolin.bsky.social has spent a few years debunking this misinformation:

You have a reputation as a science based youtuber.You owe it to your audience to fix this before they go down the #lableak garden path based on your recommendation. Cheers.
And remember when him and Bhattacharya and other lab leakers claimed that virologists misled the search for #covidorigins to defend their field and secure funding, but when then were unjustifiably defunded, there still wasn't any evidence of a #lableak? Yeah, me neither.
Interesting that two very loudly proponents of the #lableak theory are brought up here as attention-seekers. Several of the same should be blamed for the attacks against scientists and science, and subsequent funding withdrawals. Would be nice if they looked at evidence. Or read.

Show me that a China #LabLeak had anything to do with COVID.
Show me that any of our imaginary "races" is inherently superior/inferior in some way.
Show me that humans HAVE races.
These are low hanging fruit and I spoil for a fight, easily won.
