Bill Gurley: Searching for Feynman

The gist

1. Gurley says the CAPA framework, a five-step process required in aerospace and pharma, was never applied to COVID origins despite being standard for major failures.
2. He draws on Challenger, 737 Max, and Fukushima to show that good investigations need independent outsiders with no ties to the implicated institutions.
3. The DEFUSE proposal, a document describing plans to insert a furin cleavage site into a bat coronavirus, is key evidence most scientists and policymakers have never seen.

4. Gurley points to journalists like Alina Chan and Katherine Eban as the kind of independent searchers actually pursuing answers on COVID origins.
