“You can engineer a virus without leaving any trace. However, the answers you are looking for can only be found in the archives of the Wuhan laboratory." - Ralph Baric speaks for the first time in Italy in an interview granted to @Presa_Diretta

So you rule out that SARS-CoV-2 is a laboratory chimera?

"Not with the viruses that have been sequenced and reported to date."

Are the databases public?

“Yes, the sequences can be downloaded. But then, I can't know if the researchers publish every single sequence."

"In the databases were the sequences of a large number of SARS-like bat coronaviruses identified in China - explains Baric - And in that huge basin, one could imagine that there were strains that could have grown well in human cells.."

Could SARS-CoV-2 have come out of the Wuhan laboratory?

Perhaps we will never know, because the international investigation, which has been underway for months, has never started. And the Wuhan databases have disappeared.

In the archives of the network, we discovered that Professor Shi had made available to the scientific community a very rich database specialized in bat & rodent viruses that contained data on more than 20,000 samples & viruses collected over the years in different parts of China.

It reported very detailed information: the GPS coordinates of the sampling location, the type of virus found, whether the virus had been sequenced or isolated (ie grown in cell cultures).

The database provided for password access to consult data relating to viruses not yet published, with the only obligation not to disclose the information until the date of publication.

However, since June the entire page has been removed from the web. Even, according to a portal that monitors China's science databases, the data was inaccessible as early as September 12, 2019.

Why? What experiments were done in Wuhan?
