...how did they sequence it to come to those conclusions without a sample?

The first published genome sequence was provided by the Chinese Government and was obtained from the lab at Wuhan. They had a sample. (What a surprise!)

The sequence has since been frequently updated by other independent researchers. That is how they know about the endless stream of variants (Delta, Lambda, Epsilon, etc.)

It is not technically difficult to isolate the COVID-19 virus and there no shortage of patients now from which to obtain samples.

There are still virologists who maintain that the variants of COVID-19 all contain sequences which bear markers as "gain-of-function" inserts which could have only occurred by manipulation in a laboratory settings. This is not a claim which the US Government is willing to publicly accept.

I would have to agree. The article is filled with statements that are incorrect and easy to cross-check.

The are plenty of reasons to be wary about the claims of danger posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and even more reasons to be suspicious of the claims for the purported remedies.

This article does not help to cut through the fog and the intentional disinformation on the problem.

“There are still virologists who maintain that the variants of COVID-19 all contain sequences which bear markers as “gain-of-function” inserts which could have only occurred by manipulation in a laboratory settings.”

“Gain-of-function” is yet another “novel” term for me since this pandemic first appeared. It is suggestive, but what does it really mean?
