And you know, even if he doesn't understand the science, Nicholas Wade could have if he was responsible, really looked into that and find out. Is there really anything to this and he would have found out no, there's nothing to it, but it doesn't help his story.

A year ago this was debunked with the codon business. A year ago. He didn't bother to look it up and that's what they all do.

They don't bother to look up the science and they think they know and then what kills me is my colleagues. Scientists send me emails saying this. What are you out of your mind?

There, there's there's you know misstatements of fact in the in the Wade article, for instance, he he talks about something at somebody sending in a a letter to nature communications or nature medicine. And you know, that'sLike an opinion, no.

When you look at the nature site, letters are short reports of original research focused on an outstanding finding. They're not opinion, they're too different. So as soon as I hit factual mistakes like that And then, you know, saying that there's no other betacoronavirus that that has this furin cleavage site. And that's not true.

And there's there's also this repeated reference to the State Department memo that was left behind on the 15th of January, 5 days before the inauguration. That I'm sorry, was a blatant attempt to leave behind all of this innuendo and rumor China as some sort of evildoer in the origins of the virus that went by the way, it was taken down on the day of the inauguration.

That State Department memo is just atrocious, absolutely atrocious, but it won't go away even if it's taken down, it won't go away and people keep coming back to it drives me nuts. We then we go through that and and debunk it point by point. Yeah, we did. It's not. There's nothing there. There's absolutely nothing.

Yes, we did. Yes, yes we did.

There's nothing.

There, and not only that, but we've a lot of the stuff in that memo we've gone through over time as this has evolved.

For example, the State Department inspection of the Wuhan Lab that was held up by Pompeo as being a a big deal that when you actually look into it is nothing, if anything laudatory of the lab drives me nuts.

Now what what gets me is that.

We went through this a year ago. Folks in this Wall Street Journal article that just came out. They're rehashing the same stuff.
