   * Omicron is mostly likely a cousin, not a decendant/variant of [[:SARS-CoV-2]].
-The author, [[:Mathew Crawford]] takes these hypotheses as explorations worthy of consideration and exploration, not as established fact. But that is to say that the complete story of SARS-CoV-2 and the pandemic is not yet agreed upon as established fact.
+The author, [[:Mathew Crawford]] takes these hypotheses as explorations worthy of consideration and exploration, not as established fact. But that is to say that the complete story of SARS-CoV-2 and the pandemic is not yet agreed upon as established fact. Some of the evidence used was developed by [[:The Ethical Skeptical]] and others. [[:Igor Chudov]] also explored Omicron's origins in numerous articles.

+===== Summary of Hypotheses Explored =====
+A summary of primary open hypotheses explored:
+  * **Hypothesis 1: Omicron has been circulating widely for at least several months longer than we are told.**
+  * **Hypothesis 2: Omicron was genetically engineered—most likely by somebody in the same working group who engineered an mRNA vaccine to stop SARS-CoV-2.**
+  * Hypothesis 3: Omicron did not emerge from the phylogenetic tree whose root is the first-sequenced Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 strain.
+  * Hypothesis 4: Omicron is already endemic among a broad array of mammalian species.
+  * **Hypothesis 5: A large portion of previously recorded CLI, if not all, were actually cases of omicron infection.**
+  * Hypothesis 6: The "Pandemic of the Unvaccinated" story was pure fabrication and there is no need for unsurveilled omicron to fill in the gaps. The CDC data reports are simply fraudulent.
+  * Hypothesis 7: The Greatest Crime Hypothesis. Omicron, SARS-CoV-2, and the COVID-19 vaccines were designed together as a toolset for establishing control.
+  * Hypothesis 8: To the extent that certain of the Omicron hypotheses (or others) are correct, there is a clear and concerning association with American military readiness.
+==== Proximal Origins Hypotheses ====
+  * [[https://roundingtheearth.substack.com/p/the-omicron-hypothesis-part-1?s=w|Part 1]] included Published Proximal Origins Hypotheses:
+    * **Origins H1**: Omicron spread cryptically, undetected by insufficient surveillance methods. (We will talk abt why those methods might have been insufficient.)
+    * **Origins H2**: Omicron could have evolved in an immunocompromised host, chronically infected by weeks or months.
+    * **Origins H3**: Omicron could have developed in non-human hosts, then reintroduced to a human who spread it to 24 million people in like 5 weeks.
+===== Evidence of Genetic Engineering =====
+  * [[https://roundingtheearth.substack.com/p/the-omicron-hypothesis-part-1?s=w|Part 1]]
+    * **Hypothesis 2:** Omicron was genetically engineered—most likely by somebody in the same working group who engineered an mRNA vaccine to (supposedly) stop SARS-CoV-2.
+    * The SARS-CoV [[:phylogenetic tree]] places omicron variants on a different evolutionary branch than all other SARS-CoV-2 variants.
+    * Published Proximal Origins Hypotheses:
+      * **Origins H1**: Omicron spread cryptically, undetected by insufficient surveillance methods. (We will talk about why those methods might have been insufficient.)
+      * **Origins H2**: Omicron could have evolved in an immunocompromised host, chronically infected by weeks or months.
+      * **Origins H3**: Omicron could have developed in non-human hosts, then reintroduced to a human who spread it to 24 million people in like 5 weeks.
