Chinese virology researcher released something claiming it SARS-2 might even be genetically-manipulated after all? ZC45 and/or ZXC21 backbone. Claims that the RaTG13 genome was a concocted cover-up. After assessing, I’m not really convinced of the GMO claims, but the RaTG13 story seems to have something weird going on.
EDIT: After assessing, I’m not finding the GMO claims convincing. The RaTG13 story does seem to have something weird going on, and there’s several people and papers that note weird inconsistencies (See the further thoughts, I don’t have a simple explanation.).
