Emails reveal suspected COVID leaked from a Wuhan lab

Only conspiracy theorists, they said, would give credence to the idea that the virus had escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

In their unanimous view, the virus didn't come from nature and may instead have escaped from a lab.

In a Feb. 4, 2020 e-mail, he derided ideas about a lab leak as "Crackpot theories" that "Relate to this virus being somehow engineered with intent and that is demonstrably not the case."

The furin cleavage site in the COVID virus sticks out like a sore thumb because no other known member of its family - a group called Sarbecoviruses - possesses a furin cleavage site.

"The conferees were clearly aware of the possibility that the virus had originated in the Wuhan lab."So I think it becomes a question of how do you put all this together," Farzan wrote, "whether you believe in this series of coincidences, what you know of the lab in Wuhan, how much could be in nature-accidental release or natural event?

The Andersen group's detection of the furin cleavage site on Jan. 31, 2020, was a plausible basis for suspecting that SARS-CoV2 was not a natural virus.

Just because one part of the virus is natural, why does that show that someone had not inserted a genetically engineered furin cleavage site in another part?
