RE: When COVID-19 was first the buzz on FR at the beginning of the year, there was a source that claimed that the virus appeared be a corona virus with HIV components.

Well this theory was sort of debunked by a Cancer Research Scientist named Victoria Forster in an article published in Forbes Magazine months ago. See here:

No, The Coronavirus Was Not Genetically Engineered To Put Pieces Of HIV In It

That was a very relevant article! However, note: "The conspiracy theory was addressed today by a scientist from the Wuhan Institute of Virology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who rubbished the claims." This was followed by a statement that a "wide" collection of scientists agreed.

I do not normally wear a tin-foil hat, but this refutation certainly looks suspect.

Thanks, but I found that article completely unconvincing, if not laughable. The core basis of the article, is an analysis supposedly from an actual scientist from the Wuhan lab...

The conspiracy theory was addressed today by a scientist from the Wuhan Institute of Virology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who rubbished the claims.

I think we’re all interested in more opinions, but the lab itself would be the most dubious of sources. Just my opinion, and please don’t take this as a personal affront, as your posts are very valuable to us all, and much appreciated!
