Is Fauci the devil incarnate:
No
Does the possibility of an accident at a Wuhan virology lab conducting GOF research on SARS-related viruses need serious consideration and investigation?
Yes
No

Yes
Is there dispositive evidence (or indeed any evidence) that SARS-CoV-2 jumped from animals at the Huanan Seafood Market?
No
Were there even any animals in any market in Wuhan that were found to be carrying a SARS-CoV-2 progenitor virus?
No

No
Is there a history of governments covering-up lab escapes-even invoking detailed animal involved narratives?
Yes
Is there a history of scientists false promulgating market origin narratives for previous outbreaks?
Yes

Do we have a complete list of SARSr-CoVs that were being researched at the WIV?
No
Therefore, was the Proximal Origin commentary deliberately worded to deflect and hide the possibility that GOF research in Wuhan could have led to the current pandemic?
Yes
No
Therefore, was the Proximal Origin commentary deliberately worded to deflect and hide the possibility that GOF research in Wuhan could have led to the current pandemic?
Yes
Was the WIV involved in a proposal to insert human specific proteolytic cleavage sites (i.e. furin cleavage sites) into SARSr-CoVs?
Yes
Yes
As we don’t have visibility into WIV research, is the commonly seen argument that "no virologist would insert that specific nucleotide sequence to generate the fcs" a valid good faith argument?
No
No
Should investigators into the origin of SARS-CoV-2, when discussing animals in Wuhan, never mention humanised mice bred deliberately for and used extensively for SARSr-CoV infectivity research?
No
No
Why are the only known animals in Wuhan, known to be carrying SARSr-CoVs prior to the pandemic, then never mentioned by any 'serious' scientists researching the origin of SARS-CoV-2?
Unknown

Did the NIH fund SARSr-CoV research in Wuhan via EHA, and do we know the full extent of this research?
No
No
Is the origin of SARS-CoV-2, a fundamental issue for a novel virus that has led to 20 million dead, only be allowed to be researched and discussed by a select group of virologists involved in a Fauci call in early February?
No
No
Should science journalists forcefully push the narrative that a lab escape is a 'conspiracy theory'?
No
Should the origin of SARS-CoV-2 be thoroughly and meticulously investigated through subpoenas, biosecurity experts and forensic investigators?
Yes
No
Should the origin of SARS-CoV-2 be thoroughly and meticulously investigated through subpoenas, biosecurity experts and forensic investigators?
Yes
If we refuse to seriously consider the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from a Wuhan lab, will this make the world a safer place and reduce the risks of a lab accident linked pandemic in the future?
No
Why is discussion of and research into this issue so polarizing?

A very good Q&A thread for journalists.
