COVID has the fingerprints of pre-pandemic viral engineering techniques, these experts argue.
Its fragments are regularly spaced between cutting sites and its longest fragment is very short.
If COVID is natural, it is a total outlier.

The experts randomly generated in silico 100,000 mutants of COVID’s closest cousin viruses
99-99.9% of these random cousin viruses of COVID lacked markers of engineering as striking as those found in COVID

“Our hypothesis can be tested,” the experts write.
USRTK has FOIA’d virologist Ralph Baric for emails containing terms related to these clues.
These docs could shed light on the pandemic’s origin. But they are being withheld.
Not by a Chinese lab, but by an American one.

Why haven’t some virologists been forthcoming?
Potential engineering comes as a total surprise to the public.
“The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,” written in a series of secret calls among top virologists and NIH leaders, said it was impossible.

It argues that “if genetic manipulation had been performed, one of the several reverse-genetic systems available for betacoronaviruses would probably have been used.”
But it doesn’t examine the en vogue reverse genetic systems in the way this new paper does.

We now know that one person who argued behind-the-scenes that COVID was not engineered was Ron Fouchier, whose reputation was at risk.

An argument against engineering was also (“forcefully”) made by virologist Christian Drosten.
Drosten was aware of the en vogue engineering techniques.
He edited a Wuhan Institute of Virology paper that helped perfect them.

We also now know that these top virologists were initially alarmed by the cutting sites in COVID, but didn’t tell anyone until FOIA’d emails revealed their private concerns.
Are genetic clues relevant to COVID’s origin being obscured by Western scientists?
