A Discussion of Li-Meng Yan's Paper on SARS-CoV-2

>another bogus claim that the virus was produced in a laboratory (it came from Nature)

Seems the "expert" opinion is entirely dismissive of any claims contradicting the narrative that it came entirely from nature/naturally selected. Despite the fact that this week, there's research showing the pangolin was ruled out as an intermediate, and the bat theory is totally absurd.

I find other discussions[1] surrounding this far more compelling than an outright dismissal. Jumping to any conclusion, either way, is premature. But I'd hope we'd all agree that if it escaped from a lab when researchers were doing GoF research, that such research should be banned worldwide. And this apparently being the third lab escape in a decade from Chinese labs, that they are far more scrutinized.

It strikes me as disingenuous to "cancel" the article based on who funded it, as opposed to the arguments and the evidence that is presented, especially considering that publications that are ultimately funded through the Communist Party of China are not receiving that kind of scrutiny.
