Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast. I have with me Yuri Dagan who is in Moscow.

0:13.6

He is a tech entrepreneur and longevity researcher who has recently come to my attention as someone

0:21.9

who has done extensive work looking into the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. And I was very

0:31.5

impressed when I read his paper on Medium. I talked about it previously on the podcast with Heather.

1:51.6

dueling personalities making claims.

1:55.8

So, I hope I can fill those shoes, but thanks for the credit of knowledge.

2:02.7

Well, I know you could give me shoes.

2:04.7

I think you don't fully believe that you are at an epicenter of history,

2:12.2

but obviously the pandemic is a major historical event.

2:16.8

In some ways, it is a singular historical event.

2:19.8

And your work, which is not in the laboratory with coronavirus,
