How about a summary? I don't want to download this as it may contain viruses.
How about this ?
Have a shot first tho, and maybe a booster or 2.

It appears as tho 1 pangolin in the whole wide world, who also disappeared from the face of the earth without infecting any other pangolins in the whole wide world, didn't do it.
Ditto for the 1 palm civet.
Ditto for the 1 raccoon dog.

I hereby demand that those Republican Senate super-sleuths investigate the Fort Detrick (MD) biological research lab for the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We must leave no stone unturned.

The truth is out there!

As noted by the WHO Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens, the COVID19 Lancet Commission, and the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence 90-Day Assessment on the COVID-19 Origins, more information is needed to arrive at a more precise, if not a definitive, understanding of the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and how the COVID-19 pandemic began. Governments, leaders, public health officials, and scientists involved in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic and working to prevent future pandemics, must commit to greater transparency, engagement, and responsibility in their efforts.

Based on the analysis of the publicly available information, it appears reasonable to conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic was, more likely than not, the result of a research-related incident. New information, made publicly available and independently verifiable, could change this assessment. However, the hypothesis of a natural zoonotic origin no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt, or the presumption of accuracy.

A lot of qualifiers in there. Did Tempo write this report?

The science will get sorted out by scientists in spite of efforts by the right to politicize it.

One of the more interesting questions is what would have happened had there been no government mandates; no mandated lockdowns, no mask mandates, no mandated social distancing, and so on?

Plenty of places right here in the good old US of A were very relaxed after the initial few weeks of national panic. As we all know, inner areas of those major cities are now smoking ruins nearly devoid of human life. Meanwhile, major cities that really stuck to lockdowns/mandates like NYC, Chicago, Milwaukee, Seattle, MPLS, Portland, SF, LA, etc banded together in unity and peace and have emerged from the depths of the pandemic practically unscathed.

So in these relaxed places, there must be low inflation, low crime, etc. And no one took advantage of the stimulus packages, nobody voluntarily practiced social distancing, wore masks, got vaccines, limited indoor social activity, allowed employees to work from home ...

If only there was a back story of why the Nature Medicine Proximal Origin article initially submitted to Nature was rejected.

So it seems that universal masking in schools was effective.  Who knew?

Sorry about that.  Confusing as I don't subscribe.

"The study did not specify the types of masks worn by the children, suggesting that any type was at least somewhat protective, she added.

“This study shows that if people are wearing masks as a group, that it reduces transmission for everyone in the population, and it reduces school absences and teacher absences,” Dr. Raifman said."

"Masks have been a cultural flash point since the start of the pandemic, and mask mandates in schools have been especially incendiary. Critics have argued that there is no strong evidence to prove that masks slow the spread of Covid, and that in any case children weren’t wearing the right kinds of masks or weren’t wearing them properly.

Now a research paper details a so-called natural experiment that occurred when all but two school districts in the greater Boston area lifted mask requirements in the spring. Researchers took that opportunity to make a direct comparison of the spread of Covid in masking and non-masking schools.

The bottom line: Masking mandates were linked with significantly reduced numbers of Covid cases in schools.

Infection rates were lower among masked students — even in Boston’s public schools, where many buildings are old and lack good ventilation systems, classrooms are crowded and students are more often from at-risk communities — than among unmasked students attending newer schools in communities like Cambridge and Newton."
