"The four papers in question are Liu et al., Xiao et al. , Lam et al. and Zhang et al. The two that are currently being investigated by the journal editors are Liu et al and Xiao et al."
"Liu et al. did not publish or share (upon being asked) raw and/or missing data that would allow experts to independently verify their genomic analyses."
"Editors at both Nature and PLoS Pathogens, as well as Professor Stanley Perlman, the editor of Liu et al., have acknowledged in email communications that they are aware of serious issues with these papers and that the journals are investigating them."
"An epidemic cannot start naturally in Wuhan. It is not a coherent geographical origin. To explain it, humans have to intervene at one point or another."

"The work published for 15 yrs by this institute & in particular the lab of Shi Zhengli consisted in sampling viruses in wildlife in order to try to understand the mechanisms of crossing the species barrier to try to protect yourself from it,” Virologist Etienne Decroly notes.
China lied about it at every step. They lied about its existence, about how it spread, about it having spread, about how many got it, and how many died. They forced doctors to lie, censored research and databases.
Then consider the fact that the Wuhan labs in question were known to be lacking in proper safety protocols and was specifically studying coronaviruses in bats, and the possibility of their transmission to humans.
They sampled, collected, and sequenced SARS-COV-2's closest relative (published till date), and kept it secret for years.
In the same month & year of the outbreak, there was an USAID/PREDICT bat sampling project in Mojiang. (I strongly suspect they were the one's who hired the miners to clean the mineshaft for one of their project.)
“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.."
