And to that i say..ahem...chapel hill.
I still see nothing to refute that this bat sars virus could have been created in a lab.
Yes it could be nature as that study warned about...or not sincr that study was successful in replicating in a living creature.
Clue number 1-100: The first story circulated was created by an off-shore source who pieced together a half-truth here, a suspicion there, an anonymous source over yonder, a complete fabrication or ten, weak tangents to a legitimate news article, and voila’ - a Canadian conspiracy. Turn around twice and just as quickly it's now the USA. The same anti-American, Russo/Panda propaganda that created the 9/11 truther basement dwellers. There are 20 some countries doing viral research at any given time but it's always the USA? That's how you know it's sensationalistic vomit.
The reality is the bats in China Yunnan province have Sars. They've had it for over a decade and the locals have antibodies. We know it, the Chinese know it, the virology world knows it, and the propagandists know it. And we all know the Chinese have done nothing to eradicate their flying time bombs. I've posted a dozen papers about the problem. America doesn't have scaly anteaters and we don't use them as chimeric (live) models because they're critically endangered. We use specially bred mice *not found outside a lab*. If the virus backbone came from a lab mouse, American or otherwise, the whole world would know it because over a dozen countries have sequenced the genome. There is anteater RNA and there is horseshoe bat RNA, and maybe some evening bat RNA but no mouse. None. Zip. Nada. Not to mention a RNA virus that mutates every 15 days or so (see the Nextstrain tree) isn't exactly a research candidate. And that's all I've got to say about that tonite. Other than the China Origin Virus ID-19 is 100% indigenous Chinese origin. And you can take that to the bank.
