Could someone please point me to the relevant chapter of reference 4 here, where the reference to chimeric proteins is meant to be? (i.e. the right chapter of this handbook: Maier, H. J., Bickerton, E.; Britton, P. Coronaviruses – Methods and protocols; Humana Press: London, 2015)
I've looked through the table of contents, and I don't see anything that suggests this reference is in any way relevant? People keep citing this, and the most plausible conspiracy theory I can think of is that this is a way to pump citations to this chapter (I kid!).
- lamontcg 5y agoThis paper is terribly researched, none of the citations ultimately lead to references that support the claims. There is no evidence that the Obama administration funded GoF research at WIV. They did fund research into swine-coronavirus in 2015, which is what the references actually say. The author is relying on everyone to read the headlines, become easily impressed with technical terms like Chimeras and not bother checking references.
