1/ @trvrb @JCPEREZCODEX @R_H_Ebright @nerdhaspower @scottburke777 I am going to explain why this fact, the highly non-random mutation between RaTg13 and Sars_Cov_19 proves, by a 5 quadrillion to one odd,

Based on the content of my mentions, I feel like I need to further debunk crazy #nCoV2019 / HIV conspiracy preprint. This is a thread doing so. 1/9 This paper

Some "conspiracists" always get it right!Conspiracist, January 2020: "#RaTG13 virus looks like BtCoV/4991 described in an old paper that you didn't cite!" Average scientist, January 2020: Shi Zhengli, July 2020:

The two are not mutually exclusive. The big question in the issue of the proximal origin of the #coronavirus is its adaptation to the human ACE2 receptor. This means it

tldr RaTG13, the virus most closely related to SARS-CoV-2 was discovered by the WIV in a bat cave in 2013 where 6 miners contracted a viral infection leading to severe

Some people say "#SARSCoV2 comes from bats". The estimated time of divergence for SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 (the closest 'relative' know from #bats) is 1969 (95% HPD: 1930-2000). So in other

1/ THESIS: For unknown reasons, Shi Zhengli (famous "Bat Woman" of the Wuhan Institute of Virology) has obfuscated the connection between SARS-2’s nearest known relative, RaBtCoV/4991 aka RaTG13, and her

There are many things that are terribly wrong about this paper. Both in its content, findings and route to publication.https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/04/07/2004999117 The first is that tries to root a SARS-CoV-2 tree

Teamwork... This ought to rattle some cages...1) RaTG13 is incapable of binding to a bat or a pangolin (no binding observed), and is less than 1/1000 the affinity to humans

Get ready. This is going to be an important thread. Election season will be over soon and hopefully more people will devote some attention to this...I'm going to walk through

1/ This is the definition of a straw man argument. The question is not whether #sarscov2 was “manufactured” by China, but whether it might be a modified version of a

These short inserts do indeed exist in #nCoV2019 relative to its closest sequenced relative (BetaCoV/bat/Yunnan/RaTG13/2013, seen here https://nextstrain.org/groups/blab/sars-like-cov). However, a simple BLAST of such short sequences shows match to a

Getting in front of this now. Dr. Yan Li-Meng just dropped a new Steve Bannon-sponsored preprint on the origins of #SARSCoV2 and...guess what it's about: Not just a bioweapon, but

Just became aware of an article from May interviewing experts to debunk lab scenarios for SARS-CoV-2 origins (it was cited in an Atlantic article published today). I'm going to work
