Thank you for your comments. I've noticed that you are responding to many people that blatantly ridicule the original article and the author for writing behind a pseudonym. They are just trying to manipulate uninformed people towards ignoring this information. The key to all this is that Coronaviruses have been studied for decades and there is no single coronavirus with that furin cleavage and HIV matches on the bindings. After testing thousands of bats, no one has found an animal with COV-19 and, even worse, it is not easy to make bats to get infected by COV-19. The fact that this short strings are in patents by one of the main manufacturers of the vaccines and the other ones are part of HIV which are directly connected to the Early Life of Fauci might be coincidental, but there is nothing that indicates that this is a natural virus. |

Hold on. Let's be precise. Other coronaviruses do have furin cleavage sites. No other coronaviruses have this particular furin cleavage site.
> but there is nothing that indicates that this is a natural virus.
Let's also be clear here. You don't have to have anything that indicates that this is a natural virus; there is no reason why (as some of the other rabid commenters on the "other" side keep saying) this couldn't be natural. It would take some (very possible) stretches to get there. Biology does stretch sometime, there is no occam's razor, consider the platypus.
In the end I think one has to look at the proposed chain of events. My belief and let me be clear that this is a belief is that it's a lab leak. From when this started, I have half-jokingly said that this is how I would have mishandled the virus (I'm pretty clutzy in the lab - imploded no less than two dewars), and over time evidence has trickled in making the lab leak hypothesis stronger [0], while the observations you would expect have come out that makes the 'natural' hypothesis stronger have not surfaced, so in my mind, the trendline has been towards lab leak. Over time, the 'missing chain of events' that would have to have happened for it to be a lab leak are closing in. But sure, we could find a credible missing link for the natural hypothesis tomorrow and I would have to revise my beliefs. Honestly, the way the CPC has locked down information about what happened, we will almost certainly never know for sure and either way it will likely have to remain a belief.
