SARS-2-CoV was almost assuredly not natural, and RaTG13 was a keyboard virus. The only question is if it was accidentally leaked or if it was intentional. We'll never know, the CCP destroyed the evidence.

There are many videos and articles on this site about how SARS-2-CoV was not zoonotic. I don't necessarily blame China, but the funders of the research.

You're treating that question as settled. To me that is the mirror image of the media outlets trying to shut down an open question by claiming it's a "conspiracy" that has been "debunked". I would say what's needed is a credible, independent investigation, one that reasonable people can trust. We haven't had that yet.

Did you review the materials? There is hard science proving SARS-CoV-2 isn't zoonotic. It was gain of function research.

How is the article not that? Wade is a life long journalist, now independent, who has done extraordinary research, and who had relied heavily on research done by other independents as well, which is itself based strongly on credible micro-biology. Wade is nonetheless careful not to exaggerate his case but point out the mere balance of probabilities.

I'm not sure you can get more credible or independent than his work.
