Hi listeners,

We’re incredibly excited to release this bombshell new episode of The Illusion of Consensus podcast. In light of the new FOIA documents (yesterday), biologist Alex Washburne has been essentially vindicated in his lab leak paper — which generated tremendous controversy last year.

In this episode, Professor Jay Bhattacharya and Alex Washburne discuss Alex's work with dangerous pathogens, his switch to studying COVID-19, and the discrepancy between public and private discussions on the origins of the pandemic.

Notably, Alex and Jay discuss the evidence of a reverse genetic system in SARS-CoV-2 and the implications of this finding. They explore the methodology of DNA cloning and the use of molecular scissors in the lab. They also address the pushback on the research and the need for public involvement in scientific discussions. The conversation concludes with a discussion on preventing future pandemics and the restructuring of the scientific enterprise.
