[ExI] A virologist speculates on the origin of CV-19

[Dylan Distasio]

Point 3 is particularly damning IMO...

We present three lines of evidence to support our contention that
laboratory manipulation is part of the history of SARS-CoV-2:

i.The  genomic  sequence  of  SARS-CoV-2  is  suspiciously similarto  that
 of  a  bat  coronavirus discovered by military laboratoriesin the Third
Military Medical University (Chongqing, China) and the Research Institute
for Medicine of Nanjing Command (Nanjing, China).

ii.The receptor-binding motif (RBM) within the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2,
which determines the  host specificity of  the virus,resembles  that  of
 SARS-CoV from the 2003 epidemic  in  a suspicious manner. Genomic evidence
suggests that the RBM has been genetically manipulated.

iii.SARS-CoV-2 contains a unique furin-cleavage site in its Spike
protein,which is known to greatly enhance viral infectivity and cell
tropism. Yet, this cleavage site is completely absent in this particular
class of corona viruses found in nature.In addition, rare codons associated
with this additional sequence suggest the strong possibility that this
furin-cleavage site is not the product of natural  evolution and could have
 been inserted into  the  SARS-CoV-2  genome artificially by techniques
other than simple serial passage or multi-strain recombination events
inside co-infected tissue cultures or animals.
