Former NYT science writer exposes conflict of interest favoring Wuhan wet market theory

Nicholas Wade has written for Science, Nature, The New York Times, and now the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. The origin of SARS-Cov-2 — a topic Wade pinpointed with the accuracy of a laser and the density of a schematic — is a perfect fit for the Bulletin, which was founded after Hiroshima and Nagasaki to monitor existential threats to humanity and the planet.

In his tome, “The origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora’s box at Wuhan?” Wade demonstrated that the “wet market” theory has still not been proven, and that the possibility that SARS2 instead escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is not a conspiracy theory — as asserted vigorously during the last 18 months — but a possible result of the deliberate enhancement of a bat coronavirus in the very same city.. See “Ignore the conspiracy theories: scientists know Covid-19 wasn't created in a lab,” by Peter Daszak, president of Eco Health Alliance.

California reached 1 million cases of the virus today, November 12, 2020. And according to most of the national media, things are getting out of control -- again. It's like Joe Biden's long dark winter was a prophecy!

Wait a minute ... let's zoom in on the details. We examine California first. And while we know things can crumble quickly with a contagious disease, the important thing is that intensive care admissions are not spiking. In fact they're quite low. Daily deaths from the virus are at the lowest they've ever been since the pandemic began, L.A. Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer was quoted as saying in the 16th paragraph of the Los Angeles Times article.

But she still cautions we're teetering on the edge of disaster, and what we do over Thanksgiving will have a lot to do with the outcome.

15th paragraph: "“While we’ve made impressive strides in caring for people who are ill with the virus, this much of an increase in cases may very well result in tremendous suffering and tragic deaths down the road,” Ferrer said.
