I think when you make statements like he has, he should show proof to substantiate his opinions, otherwise, notable people could say whatever they wanted to and others may believe that person based on their resume. This man has a very good resume, but that alone does not make him an authority.
There have been several pieces of evidence to at least make Wuhan suspicious enough to be included on the very probable list of the origin for the Virus. Had the Chinese allowed a full investigation into their lab, we could clear this up one way or another. If they are in the clear, why not allow for an independent investigation, excluding the W.H.O. and the C.D.C.
I had just transferred from city to state payroll as a DIS (Disease Intervention Specialist..aka Public Health Representative) for the STD department. Our big bosses who were the heads of the STD program (one was state and one a fed) made a special trip from Trenton, NJ to our home office to tell us about a disease that was discovered in 2 young gay men, one on the east coast, one on the west, simultaneously. It was Kaposi's sarcoma which we were told was usually found in older men. I wondered why they were telling us about cancer, then it was revealed that their KS was caused by what became known as AIDS. We were tasked with following up on HIV as well as the other STDs we had always followed.
