This is not to mention that the guy who won the nobel prize for hiv research says the virus is man made.

Ya, that is noted in the post. Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine how HIV gene sequences would get in the mix. Unless perhaps there was a monkey involved...which seems less likely than this coming out of a lab

If the argument is a powerful one and immensely significant if it's valid, then presumably it'll get wider coverage than in a publication for which one has to sign up (no complaint about that but I prefer not to). Any suggestions as to where it can found in another context?

The odd thing is that even the media is starting to talk about the lab theory. Even if it was true, I would never expect to see it get air time. But it is.

It seemed like a conspiracy theory but in all fairness- a mistake that came out of a lab is certainly a possibility.

This was a quick write up of what I've discovered over the past week. It actually came out of research for an economic theory I was writing for the World Economic Forum. It is not a definitive argument of any kind. You can read it through this free link https://medium.com/@sarahnadav/covid-19-hiv-follow-me-down-t...

I also posted it to Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/covid-19-hiv-follow-me-down-r...

I believe this will and should make it into the mainstream press

It’s been popping up briefly on major news channels. Was front page of Bloomberg yesterday

Do you have a link about the HIV gene sequences? I remember a preprint that claimed that, but the sequence were very short, not whole genes. Two where 6 amino acid long and the other where not exact matches, but a small matech nearby a small match.

For an analogy, let's imagine that the genome of the virus were a short esay, and the whole genes were sentences. It is like claiming plagirism, because two persons use the word "banana" and the word "apple" in another sentence and then they used "co???ion" and "in???ing" in another two sentences.
