Unexpected drama in SARS-CoV-2 gene database

[as_rocketman]

So this is an interesting story. At some point researchers from the WIV requested some early SARS-CoV-2 sequence information to be removed from the usual databases, maintained in the USA. This was done, although a paper trail remained, and those sequences have now been recovered.

Source is Nature, so this should be considered reliable and in the open now:

The partial genome sequences address an evolutionary conundrum about the early genetic diversity of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, although scientists emphasize that they do not shed light on its origins. Nor is it fully clear why researchers at Wuhan University asked for the sequences to be removed from the Sequence Read Archive (SRA), a repository for raw sequencing data maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH).

It is not yet clear what this means, and without seeing where these sequences land on the phylogeny map, it isn't even clear that doing this would confer any advantage. But it doesn't make sense. This would have required cooperation from colleagues in the USA, though it would not be particularly difficult to pull off.

Speculatively, this could be evidence of an attempt to firm up the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market as the preferred origin story. The article suggests that the deleted sequences show an early divergence from those samples that would conflict with that story, and perhaps that is why they were removed. I can think of some less nefarious purposes, but I think we need to get a better answer. There's really no good reason to do this.

Such could be tied to what former CDC Director Redfield was speaking to...



In other words, the evidence he had seen strongly suggested to him that the 'hand of man' was involved.

As they often say, the cover-up is usually worse than what they are attempting to cover-up.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they were taken down due to copyright infringement by the original "authors" of the virus.

Are we speculating on the origin of the virus?

Look at Tucker Carlson's interview of a Chinese virologist who defected to the US. She claims it was part of Chinese military bioweapon research. It was released by mistake. After it was released it was deliberately spread via Chinese "tourists" in a attempt to cover it up.

Judge it for yourself, I'm just passing along what I saw with my lying eyes.

This and plenty of other reasons like Obama sending millions to fund the lab, Fauci's ties, Charles Lieber's arrest, etc. I don't think it really matters at this point, covid is water under the bridge and this will never be properly investigated just like everything else. The damage is done and people need to realize they are exploiting this to erase your liberties.
