From my understanding, there are researchers that have noted an unusual & unexpected FCS within the virus - the implication being that SARS-CoV-2
might be a product of lab manipulation. These researchers are calling for an independent inquiry into the origins.
Also, have you seen the paper by
Jessse Bloom, an influenza expert from FH Cancer center? He's recovered the
deleted files from a key global database concluding that the virus existed long before China's Huanan Seafood market story (In fact, I read reports that dozens of athletes had come down with symptoms very similar to Covid symptoms at the World Military games conducted in Wahun back in
October, 2019. Some of these athletes were so sick they had to leave the games & return back to their home country). Was SARS-CoV-2 circulating in Wahun as early as the Fall of 2019? Was China keeping quiet while trying to keep the virus contained in Wahun?
Scientists say the findings are 'prima facie' evidence of China wanting to 'obfuscate' the potential source of the Covid-19 pandemic

The origin and early spread of SARS-CoV-2 remains shrouded in mystery. Here I identify a data set containing SARS-CoV-2 sequences from early in the Wuhan epidemic that has been deleted from the NIH’s Sequence Read Archive. I recover the deleted files from the Google Cloud, and reconstruct...

And what about the GOF experiments that the NIH & Wahun lab were conducting? Question for you: It is possible to experiment with & manipulate the gene sequencing of an existing *bat virus" in a laboratory setting? (you've haven't really discussed much on GOF research with viruses - I'm sure with your knowledge & expertise in virology, you could enlighten us on what kind of modifications can be done these days on a virus to influence & enhance it's infection/transmission capabilities, mutations, immune escape, etc.)
I think with the Chinese deleting a key global database early on in the pandemic, and Fauci remaining silent on GOF research with the Chinese, the origin & early spread of SARS-CoV-2 still remains shrouded in mystery.
