That’s just wild. The one silver lining to T2 is that I’m not shocked by anything anymore. It’s still outrageous, but the surprise is gone.

    A YouTube video and an opinion piece lol.

    News investigation & report quoting correspondence between biosafety experts/researchers & their letters to journals?

    a Nature article

    Paywalled & also in the news section?

    It’s possible despite lax biosafety, they didn’t leak the virus & didn’t have it. Based on what little I can read of the article: the word of a person at the center of the matter may be true; however, that’s considerable weight for their word to carry that leaves doubt over impartiality & independence. Findings of an independent monitor/investigation would be more convincing.

      Nature is the most highly regarded scientific publication in the world. I can’t help you with your paywall issues.

        It’s a news article in their news section, not a scientific study, Nature’s domain of prestige/authority. In the hierarchy of evidence, this ranks at the bottom as background information.

        The previous comment stands: it’s an isolated claim lacking independent, impartial corroboration.
