Gilles Demaneuf, a New Zealand data scientist who has studied the mathematical probability of each of the Covid origin theories, told National Review that data and predictions are now piling up to suggest that the release of SARS-CoV-2 was a research accident.
The new information “still does not prove a lab-created virus,” Demaneuf said. “But it is a significant step in that direction.”
In the DEFUSE proposal, scientists laid out plans to “insert furin cleavage sites at the S1/S2 junction of the spike protein,” sites that are relatively unique to SARS-CoV-2, and made the virus more transmissible to humans. U.S. scientists also planned to “assemble synthetic viruses in six segments,” the documents show, using the restriction enzymes BsaI and BsmBI. Used to stitch DNA fragments together, the enzymes have been key factors in determining the legitimacy of the lab-leak theory. Although both enzymes can occur naturally, BsaI and BsmBI are also enzymes regularly used in genetic engineering, and scientists have estimated that the chance of an enzyme pattern similar to that of SARS-CoV-2 would have less than a 1 percent chance of occurring naturally.
“Our preprint found strong evidence suggesting SARS-CoV-2 was assembled with a known lab protocol, adding weight to the theory SARS-CoV-2 originated as a lab construct,” Alex Washburne, a co-author of a preprint studying Covid’s origin, said.
You'll note that the head of EcoHealth Alliance, the group Fauci used to funnel money to the PRC lab, says- oh, go read it. Yes, I include him in the suggested punishment mentioned up top.
