I wonder how many dilberitos there are still out there, hidden deep in some hoarder's freezer. I'd eat one in his honor if I could get my hands on one.

Zamujasa posted:Has he started complaining about being "cancelled" by the woke media yet? He went far above and beyond that, unfortunately.  because it's some Extremely Bleak poo poo regarding his late son.Basically: he made a very stupid tweet about how if your son gets hooked on drugs, it's "better to kill him than watch him become a mass shooter". He then seemingly admitted to watching his son OD and die rather than render aid? I'd post a link but I don't want it to embed, because it's genuinely upsetting. Scott Adams stopped being a "ha ha funny right wing crank" a long time ago. He's in a much, much darker place now.

I couldn’t read the WSJ article but was this the same report from DoE / Lawrence Livermore from 2021? If so it was basically “lab leak is possible but so is natural spread of new virus”

This official added that it was done in light of new intelligence, further study of academic literature and consultation with experts outside government."

How does that report deal with the paper tracking infection rates within the Wuhan market and finding they track proximity to the live animal storage, with multiple strains coming out of that part of the store within a week? To me that’s the determinative paper on origin, I don’t see how you get that with a lab leak.

I'm not real interested in what the FBI thinks about epidemiology and if the topic isn't related to nuclear weapons the US Department of Energy isn't usually a very well informed source either.

Everyone in the world gets extremely sick several times a year now, they basically murdered the goodness of the world forever. Nothing, because what are you gonna do? Turn china, the manufacturer of all of our cheap poo poo into a north korean pariah state instantly nuking world commerce? Glass an entire country the large majority of which had nothing to do with it, let alone the groups of people they effectively enslave? Even if yes to that, glass a country that can do it right back? Reparations? Even with absolute truth the government surely wouldn't admit to it or pay a cent. I think the best you'd ever get is a "truth and reconcilliation thing" where a bunch of lab dudes get thrown in prison and everyone gives a stern warning about lab safety to the chinese, which will probably be ignored.

slurm posted:If they prove a lab leak what is an appropriate response? Everyone in the world gets extremely sick several times a year now, they basically murdered the goodness of the world forever. Nothing, unless you also can prove it's intentional. The last person to die of smallpox on the planet was due to an accidental lab leak. The person who was ultimately responsible for the leak later committed suicide. This was in the UK in the late 70s or so, or at least that's the story my ID professor told us back in the day. Defenestrategy posted:Question: A bit more than most might suspect. A large amount of microbiology outside of the hospital is funded by DoE stuff, they run very prominent research in the "National Labs" (Oak Ridge, PNNL etc) and would have some particular skills to study this kind of thing. It's not the only agency that does this for sure, and thus why there is mixed messaging but it's not too crazy for DoE to actually be part of the study. e: An actually plausible probable scenario that fits all criteria of evidence that we are currently capable of getting would be this: 1. New virus pops up near Wuhan, gets isolated and sent to their virology lab in the same town. Maybe the cases don't take off much at all and the researchers breathe a sigh of relief. 2. A few days / weeks later a cluster of cases pops up in Wuhan either due to delayed symptoms, delayed reporting, who knows. 3. A couple of researchers at the institute in Wuhan email/text communicate (in a way that humint or sigint can access later) "Hey these new cases aren't from us right?" and someone responds "no not likely". 4. Virus spreads from there. 5. FBI and maybe someone at DoE is privy to some intel where someone in the lab was asking around about the outbreak and it lends some credibility to the possibility of a lab leak but does nothing to substantiate it." That all fits what we have / know today. To PROVE it was lab leak you would have to have genome sequences of the virus initially taken into the lab and show conclusively that the sequence of all the infections after deposition into the lab were matches to that lab strain (and subsequent mutation from it) vs a separate "wild" virus that would have a different genome sequence and was not represented in the later cases. It would have to be pretty rock solid evidence and without that you can't prove lab leak (unless you have credible testimony of someone in the Wuhan institute that studied the virus).

DOE went from 45% confidence to 55% confidence. Everyone involved in that article needs to be kicked in the shins, with a doublekick to anyone actively sharing it with zero references to the "low confidence" requirement.
