1. Some useful, albeit not fully developed, critiques of:
“The Origins of SARS-CoV-2: A Critical Review"
zenodo.org/record/5106841
have just been published here:
researchgate.net/publication/35…
by members of DRASTIC & others

2. A refreshing contrast to the so-called "expert reactions" found here, including from one of the authors of the review (Prof David Robertson)!
"expert reaction to a preprint reviewing the evidence on the origins of SARS-CoV-2"

3. Peter Gutierrez points out in his response that 4 of the authors of “The Origins of SARS-CoV-2: A Critical Review”, also wrote “Proximal Origin of SARS-COV-2”.
His critique focuses on:
1. RaTG13
2. Enhanced adaptation to the human host

4. As to be expected, Sydney University and its iconic virologist, Eddie Holmes, who is "not available for interview", are crowing over this biased review

This review contains elementary errors as exposed here:
1.
one of the authors (Stuart Neil) then claimed
"Didn’t N501Y come up in ACE2 TG mice too?
Professor Neil failed to respond
You will have to dig into the answers here
A thread with papers to educate Stuart here:
Which he didn't take kindly to
I guess it was his way of admitting he was wrong about N501Y?
Again Prof Neil, one of the authors of the review continues to embarrass himself. I am starting to think that the flawed N501 claim was actually written by him.
Wrong again, "Prof"
He just can't admit his error, so I have to remind him
A further elementary error in the review paper
