Interesting, very much at odds with Matt Ridley's analysis here: https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/09/10/there-is-now-no-dou...

Not just taking into account the furin cleavage site issue, but there is every incentive for the scientific community and those in power to blame this on the wet market over the lab leak.
Matt Ridley is a journalist with hardly any qualification to conduct an analysis.
More than that, he's made quite a lot of his fortune by shilling pseudoscience to benefit his fossil fuel lobbying clients. I don't see why or how serious people would take this career con artist at his word.
