A synthetic origin of SARS-CoV-2 - What we know, and what we don't

Drs. Valentin Bruttel, Tony VanDongen and I recently released a pre-print providing evidence of a synthetic origin of SARS-CoV-2.

This article is my attempt at a lay summary of what we found, its limitations, and what we can and cannot conclude from our work. I’ll cover the bioengineering methods used to make “infectious clones”, the genomic fingerprints of this tech, what we found in SARS-CoV-2, how we could be wrong, and what to do next.

It was monkey business after all.

Perhaps not that well written and presented this is a sound analysis and approach, and intellectually honest.

Chicoms will never allow an audit of their samples and I assume by now the relevant samples have been destroyed.

Yeah, there is not much chance an evidence trail remains, and China pretty much refused to help from patient zero on. Wouldn’t even admit human to human transmission for weeks while they allowed international travel out of Wuhan.
