My issue is with fake news and outright lying. This is entirely a logical argument.
If the do ents clearly state that this was gain-of-function research that unleashed COVID, you wouldn't need third parties having to explain that "what the do ents really say is that this is a gain-of-function research that launched COVID".
You're (once again) trying to derive fact from fiction, by "connecting the dots" and all that stupidity. The 'smoking gun' do ents clearly don't say what some people (including you) wanted them to say, that's too bad. The papers are available for everyone to see and discern for themselves what they actually say.
You can't even keep up with your own story, so let me help you.
That's not "the do ents" (which are the do ents The Intercept obtained). The Intercept obtained those do ents "early last month" per your own story, so "on wednesday" certainly falls well past when the do ents were obtained.
The letter also doesn't make any claims about origins of COVID (much to your grief, I'm sure) or gain-of-function. Simply point out that one contractor broke it's agreement with the NIH.
