This is either through force, appeal to patriotism, or calling in members of some sort of national advisory panel who didnвЂ™t realize they were committing themselves to possibly being drafted against their will into something, depending on the movie. But do you believe that? At the minimum, this fact-that the coronavirus, with all its random possibilities, took the rare and unnatural combination used by human researchers-implies that the leading theory for the origin of the coronavirus must be laboratory escape.' Replies: seem to remember that Andromeda Strain was one of the earliest movies to use the trope of military teams around the country picking up members of a diverse team of experts to create a superteam of researchers or advisors. Yes, it could have happened randomly, through mutations. Why did it replicate the choice the labвЂ™s gain-of-function researchers would have made? Proponents of zoonotic origin must explain why the novel coronavirus, when it mutated or recombined, happened to pick its least favorite combination, the double CGG. It was this exact sequence that appears in CoV-2. An additional advantage of the double CGG sequence compared with the other 35 possible choices: It creates a useful beacon that permits the scientists to track the insertion in the laboratory. ThatвЂ™s because it is readily available and convenient, and scientists have a great deal of experience inserting it. The insertion sequence of choice is the double CGG. A virus simply cannot pick up a sequence from another virus if that sequence isnвЂ™t present in any other virus.ДЄlthough the double CGG is suppressed naturally, the opposite is true in laboratory work. That means the common method of viruses picking up new skills, called recombination, cannot operate here. 'In fact, in the entire class of coronaviruses that includes CoV-2, the CGG-CGG combination has never been found naturally. Stephen Quay and Richard Mueller, writing in the WSJ: You've got no facts, just your own theory. But this one somehow, having emerged down the street from the Wuhan lab was loaded for bear?

and they petered out where they broke out. The MERs and SARs of the early decades weren't primed to do that. inputting the sequence in a lab to do that is way easier as an explanation. You have a far harder road to explain how covid 19 managed to arrive on the scene ready to infect humans. вЂ“ There is not a single feature of SARS-2 that looks like it was rationally You can't say the facts for certain. вЂ“ Every single feature of its genome and its proteinsвЂ™ properties is far better explained by things that we know happen in nature (mutations, selection, viral recombination, evolution) than by rational engineering. The only thing that these revelations make clear is this: Peter Daszak should have never led UN вЂњinvestigationвЂќ in China because he has enormous conflict of interest! He will be nailed now, and he fully deserves it. They call it вЂњtargeted immune boostingвЂќ, which is a buzzword for vaccine. All of these is proposed to be done in the BSL-3 lab, just like it was already done and published.Дў) An absolute pie in the sky proposals to a) strengthen batsвЂ™ general immunity to getting infected with coronaviruses (natural, not engineered) вЂ“ they call it вЂњbroadscale immune boostingвЂќ, something that would be lovely to have for humans today, and b) specifically make bats immune to the identified high-risk for human spillover viruses by either spraying caves with nanoparticles containing spike proteins in question (thatвЂ™s really stupid idea) or by spraying with vaccinia virus-based vectored vaccine encoding the spike proteins in question (again, not an engineered coronavirus). This is then coupled with a vague вЂњwe will use machine learning to analyze and understand results, and blah-blahвЂќ. Then characterize them in mice and numerous in vitro assays. The proposal to DARPA consists of the two parts:ДЎ) Straightforward, almost mindless, continuation of the exact same experiments that were done in Baric lab in UNC: Make chimeric bat viruses by replacing their spike gene with spike genes from a ghost of new spike genes from viruses they promise to isolate in caves.
