Refreshing but still misses the main point
NPR has a great interview with Anthony Fauci of CDC, about the recent hoohaw surrounding Bird Flu research.
Why great? Because Fauci skipped the Official Bureaucrat Game. Standard procedure is to prepare one carefully vetted sentence and keep repeating it soporifically over and over and over and over and over and over and over, while the idiot "journalist" asks a series of unrelated pointless idiotic questions.
Fauci actually tried to communicate with the listeners, tried to convey the full picture instead of one carefully vetted soundbyte, and irascibly corrected the idiot "journalist" whenever she made a bad assumption.
Unfortunately, the most important point still didn't get across. Here's the point:
The current "secrecy" hoohaw proves that the earlier "pandemic" hoohaw about Bird Flu was a fraud.
Think.
This virus has been in birds forever. Viruses are the absolute Grand Masters Of Mutation, so it's been running through gene combinations quickly for maybe a million years. Out of that million years, humans have been intimately involved with chickens and ducks for a few thousand. Until 50 years ago, most Americans either kept chickens or lived next door to someone who kept chickens. In many parts of the world, universal proximity is still the default.
Means, motive, and opportunity. Thousands of years, close contact, most of humanity. Yet the "just-right" mutation for human-to-human transmission never happened spontaneously.
It happened after genetics researchers, presumably knowing which genes would be most likely to work, created the mutation artificially. ¶ 7:29 AM
