"...F.B.I. agents and federal prosecutors have sought evidence related to at least eight scientists, among them a Nobel laureate and influential former government researchers like Dr. Fauci."

Inside the D.O.J.’s Investigation of Fauci and Other Virus Scientists (Gift Article)
As Dr. Anthony Fauci has faced public scrutiny from congressional Republicans, the D.O.J. has pursued a quieter and more expansive effort against a wider circle of researchers.

Perhaps that seems like an out-of-character edit. It won't seem that way after you see the thought process that went into it.

The cave virus, though related to SARS CoV 2, shows no indication of being either an ancestor or "raw material". The mystery that remains is how small carnivores likely raised in Hubei were exposed to a coronavirus of bats 1000 km away. trueinfections.com/080922.html

Were raccoon dogs or some other animal at the Wuhan market the spark that set off a worldwide conflagration? It first has to be asked is how were any of the livestock exposed to a coronavirus laden bat from the south of China? Raccoon dogs were likely raised near Wuhan. #SARSCoV2 #OriginOfCoViD

Nothing to add: there will always be missing data, but parsimony rulez. As he says, time to move on!

In my Twitter times I closely followed the #OriginOfCovid discussions. I interacted a lot with Alina, who now writes this piece for the NYT (TBH most of it is old facts with fancy graphics on top of it). I still believe the wildlife route is the most likely origin, although lab leak remains possible
On the day of Dr. Fauci's testimony, @nytimes.com decides to run a deeply unethical OpEd with snazzy graphics and snappy headlines about the Lab Leak.

The article itself contains multiple falsehoods and deep mischaracterizations.
