You called her an idiot and refuted her facts but you did not providing any links to support your position.

Here you go:

"SARS-CoV-2 is genetically similar to SARS-CoV. SARS-CoV is the nearest human coronavirus relative of SARS-CoV-2 with an 86.85% similarity, which is reflected in their similar names. The currently known closest relative of SARS-CoV-2 is the bat coronavirus RaTG13 which has 96.75% similarity.

This suggests all three viruses have a similar ancestor, but SARS CoV-2 and RaTG13 have a more recent shared ancestor. Whilst the exact origin of SARS-CoV-2 is not yet known, most researchers think it originated from a bat coronavirus and some suspect that an intermediate species hosted the virus, possibly a pangolin due to similarities between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and those found in pangolin coronaviruses.

"

If you actually believe SARS CoV-2 evolved from SARS CoV-1, as she claims, I'm happy to provide many more sources indicating that's not the case.

Do you, or anyone you know, actually believe that?

What's your explanation for why she says it? Do you think it's ignorance or deceit - or some other motive?

With all due respect, I did not call her an idiot. I don’t claim to be an expert.

That said, tho I appreciate your actually finding a link, the link’s author is no expert either...IMHO, Zoppi cobbled together some info...Kind of like a college English term paper...Here are her credentials:

Author: Lois Zoppi is a freelance copywriter based in the UK. She graduated from the University of Sussex with a BA in Media Practice, having specialized in screenwriting. She maintains a focus on anxiety disorders and depression and aims to explore other areas of mental health including dissociative disorders such as maladaptive daydreaming.

I found this quote from your Zoppi link troubling:

“SARS-CoV was believed to have been initially transmitted from small mammals in a mutated form to humans.

Pretty much EVERYONE is saying COVID likely was engineered...Even Fauci has changed his tune from last year... https://www.breitbart.com/health/2021/05/23/anthony-fauci-reverses-course-not-convinced-chinese-coronavirus-developed-naturally/

From one of your link’s footnotes: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/sars/

There have been 2 self-limiting SARS outbreaks, which resulted in a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening form of pneumonia. Both happened between 2002 and 2004.

Since 2004, there have not been any known cases of SARS reported anywhere in the world.

The World Health Organization (WHO) continues to monitor countries throughout the world for any unusual disease activity. If there was another SARS outbreak, it should be possible to limit the spread of infection.

The first 2 paragraphs actually might back up the “idiot’s” contention... (The Doc with a PhD and years of experience in the field who explicitly states is not anti-vaxxer.)

Last paragraph...Limit the spread? Sure! WHO really was spot-OFF with that statement...

You source has 5/9 footnotes from all my “trusted favorites” including Lancet (now dependably liberal), CDC and 3 from the ever dependable WHO...

So no thank you...You can source and quote until the cows come home; however, I will accept Mikovits’ expertise in the field because she is going against your status quo administration line—and had a lot to lose coming forward...

BTW, I said a family member of mine works in the field—has PhD in biotech breeding/genetics. I asked and they said what Mikovits said could be possible. So again, I will go with them and Mikovits.

Enjoy your evening.
