In case anyone missed this from two years go:
Jeffery Sachs in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), May 2022: A call for an independent inquiry into the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus

Special concerns surround the presence of an unusual furin cleavage site (FCS) in SARS-CoV-2 that augments the pathogenicity and transmissibility of the virus relative to related viruses like SARS-CoV-1. SARS-CoV-2 is, to date, the only identified member of the subgenus sarbecovirus that contains an FCS, although these are present in other coronaviruses. A portion of the sequence of the spike protein of some of these viruses is illustrated in the alignment shown in Fig. 1, illustrating the unusual nature of the FCS and its apparent insertion in SARS-CoV-2. From the first weeks after the genome sequence of SARS-CoV-2 became available, researchers have commented on the unexpected presence of the FCS within SARS-CoV-2—the implication being that SARS-CoV-2 might be a product of laboratory manipulation. In a review piece arguing against this possibility, it was asserted that the amino acid sequence of the FCS in SARS-CoV-2 is an unusual, nonstandard sequence for an FCS and that nobody in a laboratory would design such a novel FCS.

Maybe we need a PrematureCelibration comm for gems like this

There’s a new UI feature that makes new comments have a different background color. It expires after a few minutes.

If I’m reading things right, Isabelle Khurshudyan was based in Kyiv, but published this report from Latvia. I have no idea if it’s just a coincidence that she’s not currently or no longer in Ukraine.

More to the point, the Pentagon is very powerful.

If you go around cracking heads, would you be risking access to the upper levels of the revolving door when you retire?
