It is definitely not a conspiracy. So the experts and the Editorial board of the journals pushing this definition at the beginning of the pandemic should be properly interrogated, to know why they did it.
Time to get access to RaTG13's cave and to the data of the deleted WIV databases.
The origin of SARS2 is likely to be hidden there.
Why the location of the cave was not disclosed in the article first describing RaTG13 and its access is now blocked?The name was even changed (BtCoV4991),so no connection anymore with the sampling site.Why a database should be hacked few months before the world knew about SARS2?
Why first hinting that RaTG13 has been fully sequenced after SARS2 appeared to then admit that this has been done already in 2018? What was the purpose of its full sequencing? It's still the sequence closest to SARS2. It's not available anymore: time to sample again in that cave.
Did RaTG13 cause the covid19-like pneumonia in the miners working in that cave in 2012 or viruses closer to SARS2 are lurking in there? It's unlikely to be RaTG13 because its binding affinity to human ACE2 is very low. For all these reasons it is mandatory to access that cave.

Interesting to hear how GoF supporters stressed the importance to avoid limitation in their research aiming to develop vaccines and to test them in animal models as humanized mice.
Ups @K_G_Andersen It looks like that “There are no bioinformatic or predictive “safer” alternative approaches to identify unknown, unpredicted and unprecedented targets for countermeasures than GoF. What shall we do with your computational analyses for SARS2?😂
55:20 a short mention to the use of FCS for loss of function and attenuation 🤔
Wondering why @nature keeps saying that WHO did an investigation in Wuhan, when even WHO admitted that it was not, just a joint study.
"The report was the result of a joint investigation between Chinese and international researchers" nature.com/articles/d4158…
Pure misinformation.
"The team didn’t find that species, even though researchers in China tested tens of thousands of wildlife and livestock samples, but team members point to wild-animal markets for future leads". This is hilarious. All samples tested negative but the best hypothesis is zoonosis.
"They also conclude that it is “extremely unlikely” that the virus leaked from a laboratory." This was decided after the supposed "joint investigation". But can an investigation be joint? Do policeman and thief ever investigate the thief together?
WHO today:"The consensus was that given the level of evidence, the potential for SARS-CoV-2 introduction via cold/ food chain products is considered possible." who.int/publications/i…
WHO April 2020:"It is highly unlikely that people can contract COVID-19 from food or food packaging"
"There is no evidence to date of viruses that cause respiratory illnesses being transmitted via food or food packaging." Still 0 evidence for it. apps.who.int/iris/bitstream…
Wondering which "the level of evidence" they found now with no animal infected at the market and still no indication of any transmission via food.
Is this a joke @nature? nature.com/articles/d4158…
"Another possibility is..several infected animals — with slightly different variations of SARS-CoV-2 — might have then been sold at markets in Wuhan, sparking multiple infections in humans." BUT...
"The researchers also took samples from 188 animals from 18 species at the market, all of which tested NEGATIVE."
This is for sure a strong indication of SARS2's zoonotic origin which must have priority for further investigations 😂
The family of SARS2 is getting bigger but no one else is so special. Still no no FCS or strong hACE2 binding. "The discovery of PrC31 supports that bats are the natural hosts of SARS-CoV-2.”: FALSE. It just confirms that the backbone is natural, but for the rest we don’t know.
