Today's Blind Items - The Deaths

 Nearly ten years ago, three scientists wrote a research paper that was then posted in a more widely read science magazine that sometimes even regular people can understand. It is a highly cited article. It was also the first time that anyone really dug into furin cleavage sites and how they could be man made, but also look as if they could occur naturally. Think about a deep fake video. They can be very difficult to tell whether they are real or not. This is the same kind of thing. Did I mention that all three scientists who write this paper are Chinese? One of the three died under mysterious circumstances and since November 2019, the other two have had round the clock bodyguards while in Europe. The question has been are the bodyguards there to protect them or keep them from speaking.
