Perhaps framing a get together as a discussion as opposed to a debate? Approach from the point of view that you have questions about spread of covid as well as the mRNA vaccines developed to fight it and you'd like his help addressing those questions? Frame a meeting as more of a collaboration as opposed to an adversarial meet up. Model it after your discussions with Dr. B?
Not being a doc or scientist, I had always sent Arkmedic's blog posting on the subject to those of my acquaintance who had imbibed the "Wuhan wet market" propaganda -- "How to BLAST your way to the truth about the origins of COVID-19: Using BLAST is easy. I'm going to show you how easy and how to prove that SARS-Cov-2 is man-made"
To my knowledge, he has never replied to a single comment in his substack, so won't be an acknowledgement of the challenge. I think you should write him to his email, calmly laying out where you disagree, seeing if you can get him to at least engage in a dialectic.
I was pretty surprised how certain he was animal spillover. He is a pretty intelligent person, generally practices proper skepticism, so this was odd. (I could see him leaning towards spillover, but being certain? At this point? With all of the FOIA?)
Understanding what happened takes an immense amount of reading simply to realize how much bullshitting Fauci did and leveraged the media to spread the lie and suppress truth. Dr. Offit is pretty busy guy so I will grant him charity and assume he just simply never took the time to read Viral, the reporting by Katherine Eban, the deep dives by Alex Washburne, the fact checking of Paul Thacker, the senate testimony of Richard Ebright, the contents of the DEFUSE proposal that Drastic leaked, reporting by Shellenberger's "Public" on Fauci's level of deception, etc, etc.
It's a lot of work, and pretty difficult to break those committed to the Saint Fauci hypothesis.
Especially since Dr. Offit already subscribes to the Baric hypothesis that SARS viruses are a brand new threat brought on by climate change and deforestation, rather than just another Coronavirus that has existed with us for 300 million years. Baric doesn't realize that he is only finding them now because this is the first time humanity has the tools to even detect them. To think there was no Covid-85, Covid-62, etc is silly.
Takes a special sort of arrogance to believe that we are so special that Coronaviruses waited 300 million years to mutate into something finally posing a threat, and it just so happened to be right after was created PCR tests and started making chimera versions in labs. What incredible odds!

He has too much to loose. So, he'll ignore you. Unfortunately.
Offitt has his head ind the sand!
Please repost this!
Hear No, See No, Speak No, evil of covid response or vaccines, this is the strategy applied everywhere for decades or longer.
Off with his head!!

Both the "animal spillover" and "lab leak" ideas are shiny objects to distract from the reality that there was no novel virus at all.
