Yes, thanks, just read it. I think you're giving way too much benefit of the doubt to Daszak and I very much disagree with your conclusion that we shouldn't be casting "aspersions" on virologists. Not when some of those virologists participated in a coordinated campaign to suppress the lab leak theory in an effort to cover their own asses, shoddy paperwork and in some cases their own ignorance about what exactly was going on at the WIV. Some of it's defenders apparently weren't even aware that they were using live bats at the lab.
Oh just to be clear, criticize away. I would just say that it's wrong to criticize them as though the lab leak theory has been proven true, because it certainly hasn't. I think that's what some bad faith actors are doing.
