β€˜the novel coronavirus had existed long before’.
"We found the genome of the virus through detection of environmental samples from stalls of illegally operated wild animals"

19. Pithy comments on the Gao Feb 2022 Preprint
20. I called out Gao back in May 2020
Others have claimed erroneously that he is a good scientist muzzled by the PRC authorities.
21. Conclusion
Happy that @flodebarre has filched some missing Chinese sample data from GISAID
I resent accusations that DRASTIC never investigated this.
Believe me, we did more than anyone else in 2020 & since
Wish they had dedicated same energy to demanding WIV databases!
