So he had a debate with other experts about this before lockdowns began and all the evidence was present in which many thought a lab leak was possible, 2 said definitely not. As the data evolved they changed there mind! the horror!!! This is a man showing doubt about whats going on with limited information ffs.
You magatards want him strung up in the street because you believe everything to be "common sense". He even forced a conversation with an expert on the specific subject to vet the idea
"We decided to have Jeremy with Francis to contact Tedros with Stewart Simonson’s help (I arranged this) to see if Tedros would convene experts. [Emphasis added]."
He then does his due dilligence by consulting further experts
as indicated in my notes of January 31st and February 1st , 2020, since I am not an evolutionary biologist I called together by phone a group knowledgeable scientist together with Francis Collins and a few other people to discuss this. After a considerable amount of discussion about half of the people felt that this was possibly a constructed virus and the other half were convinced that this was a natural occurrence. A few weeks later Christian Andersen got together with Bob Garry and Andrew Rambaut to examine this more carefully and they came to the conclusion that they were convinced that this was a natural occurrence and a jump from the animal reservoir. They published their data in a preprint server in February followed by a nature paper in March of 2020 . That is the reason why it appears that a I briefed people which I did not. I was briefed by them. Scott had said that I had briefed a group of international health people he seemed to have gotten some of the story wrong , but overall he was correct. [Emphasis added].
The most recent paper on the subject concluded that it was likely natural with a small chance it was a lab leak for various reasons. No one can be 100% on this of course, especially with chinas non-cooperation.
This is no smoking gun. No new information found at all.
