1/4 Just published:
“The EMI Fix” — how Emerging Microbes & Infections rushed a 1,200-word commentary in Feb 2020 that helped lock in the natural-origin narrative for SARS-CoV-2.
Only problem: it broke every major publication rule.
2/4 FOIA emails show hidden authorship, air-gapped decorative co-authiors, an undisclosed Beijing lab accident, private doubts (“it may have been engineered”), and the editor boasting he bypassed peer review.
All while the WHO was still negotiating access to China.
See bit.ly/TheEMIFix
3/4 Public message: certainty. In private: doubts.
When a small group bends the rules for the "greater good,” the public loses.
The receipts are in the article. Worth your time if you care how scientific consensus was manufactured in real time.
