The search for the origins of Covid is so deeply politicized and problematic that I have decided to be fully open and transparent about the foul play happening in the background. I describe quite a lot of it in my book, and I will continue to write about it in public. This week, one of my employers received an email from Zach Hensel requesting them to take action to make me remove my name from the retraction request submitted by @BiosafetyNow for the wet market paper he coauthored (Crits-Christoph et al). He also wanted my employer to ensure I don’t misrepresent his research in my book. Firstly, my employer has nothing to do with my book or my signature on the petition, that is a personal decision by me as a scientist. Second, in line with principles of freedom of speech and academic freedom, I am entitled to my opinion and expressing it. Third, it is simply unacceptable to encourage my employer to take actions against me. I know others like @Ayjchan have similar experiences. Thankfully I have employers who give me full autonomy in this matter and who have a high level of trust in my decisions, so such attempts will not work. I will nevertheless post about it here to make sure that everyone understands that I am playing with my cards fully open and that any attempts at intimidation will become public.
