All the people who need to listen to this, won't.

Bruh, did you believe this or did you just post it in it wrong place.

It's just another cold war, history books will discuss it as such.

Dropsite is great and Ryan Grim is a treasure.

Shit, Doc. Might be the only way!

The wet market was a superspreader event either way. But the difference between natural origin and WIV accidental release (anything other than an accidental release has less than no evidence and is stupid to conjecture about IMO), is how the virus got to the market.

We know animals in the market had the virus, we have samples based on stall location. But there isn't enough evidence from animal tissue or blood samples to say more than that.

That it condensed and spread from the market doesn't really seem to be in question. There's no way with current evidence to say much more. The world would need to locate the viral reservoir, or the world would need additional information from the WIV and CCDC that we won't get.

The WIV was actually like 40 minutes away, the Chinese CDC was next to the Huanan market. It's super funny, cause the CCDC is extremely shitty with all the information they gathered at the wet market as well.

Better article from the BBC. We have no new information, anything we have from Huanan just as likely points to a superspreader event as a natural origin. China isn't super interested in providing additional data to be looked at by western scientists.

Unless they find the viral reservoir, there's no confirmation on a natural origin, just like without them finding research or data from the WIV pointing to them working on a virus similar enough to C19 that it's a smoking gun, the world has neither.

We may be another decade from the discovery of a viral reservoir, but I doubt we'll ever get the data of what they were working on in the WIV pre closure of data sharing.

Linus will continue to show his ass until people are tired of looking at it.

Man, if only they had spent all their campaign money talking about this instead of whatever the hell it is they did, they might have won the election!

Instead of having any sort of resolve, or appearing to actually give a shit about any of that, we got a full centrist push focusing on making it ok for conservatives to vote for a democrat, rather than actually trying to organize their base. The end result is DNC members abandoning LGBTQ and leftist issues. Instead they ratchet right to keep the government moving forward.

Nearly the entire DNC is rotten and will self protect, like this, rather than engage in any actual change.

It's really incredible, any time I visit Seoul I make it a point to do basically the entire walk. It ends/begins at a beautiful water feature where they'll have large seasonal art installations and decorations.

Diabolical from Kendrick's perspective. He got Drake so fucking twisted that the man had hired lawyers to ensure his public downfall is as documented as it can be.

That's already how farm labor and meat packing/prep treat immigrants and immigrant children right now.

I guess it could get Italian bad, remember this? https://www.theguardian.com/media/article/2024/jul/20/satnam-lost-his-arm-and-was-allegedly-left-to-die-on-the-roadside-this-is-the-horror-of-exploitation-on-italian-farms
