# Summary This document is a summary of the decision making process I used during the debate between Saar/Rootclaim for the Lab Leak (LL) side, and Peter for the Zoonotic Origin (ZO) side. I have broken it into three sections. Section 1 is a short description of my process in thi
A huge fuckup, with perhaps not-so-huge policy stakes
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has also accused intelligence agencies of “obstructing the Inspector General’s honest efforts to perform a thorough investigation.”

The French National Academy of Medicine has now come out officially to back the theory that COVID-19 was likely caused by a lab leak in Wuhan, China.
New polling shows as many as two-thirds of Americans favor it. But the public has long leaned more strongly toward it than the government and scientists do.

EJW Volume 23, Issue 1, March 2026 Specification Searching in the Race between Education and Technology: Joseph Francis criticizes a canonical model of the American labor market, which has been used to advocate for more funding for education to reduce inequality. He shows how the model has routinely failed to predict the evolution of the college […]

Does it matter whether SARS-CoV-2 leaked from a lab in Wuhan or had natural zoonotic origins? I think on the margin it does matter. First, and most importantly, the higher the probability that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from a lab the higher the probability we should expect another pandemic.* Research at Wuhan was not especially unusual or […]
Here is Ross Douthat at the NYT: …there’s a pretty big difference between a world where the Chinese regime can say, We weren’t responsible for Covid but we crushed the virus and the West did not, because we’re strong and they’re decadent, and a world where this was basically their Chernobyl except their incompetence and cover-up […]
A new bill introduced into the US Senate claims to make us safer. Instead, it would destroy all virology research, and for no real cause.
SARS-CoV-2 first emerged in humans in 2019. Despite much noise generated by lab leak proponents, the evidence indicates a natural origin.
In theory, scientists could've produced a deadly virus that accidentally infected lab workers. In practice, we know that didn't happen.
It occurred naturally, and scientists know this for certain. Starting in late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, began infecting human beings for the very first time. Discovered in samples […]

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – The 2024 WHO amendments are outwardly packaged as “global health cooperation,” but in reality, they institutionalize the CCP’s “unrestricted warfare” achievements during COVID-19 into the future global pandemic prevention system. The provisions completely avoid accountability for the lab origin of SARS-CoV-2 and Chinese military-civil fusion“gain-of-function” research...
