@zachhensel.bsky.social and I have a new paper on the origin of SARS-CoV-2! 🧪
There are a lot of reviews on the topic already, so we tried to do something different: characterize "lab leak" scenarios, and directly address those on SARS-CoV-2's furin cleavage site.▫️1/9

Here's the NIH's proposed budget - from $48 billion to $27 billion. NIAID, current ~$7 billion cut to ~$4.2 billion.
The proposed 15% cap on indirect costs remains.
Again, these budgets are passed, and our leadership in science, technology, and innovation is gone.

You might be wondering why we haven't updated outbreak.info for months.
Well, the reason is that GISAID cut our access in January - as they did others. Without telling us.
After a ♾️ back and forth, that is now permanent.
More on that soon - and why GISAID should not be trusted with critical data.
