the old [withdrawn] paper apparantly was withdrawn, due to manipulation of data.
there is the issue of sequence similarity, not only to some domains of an HIV protien, but also similarity to a number of other entities. it was this paper that drove the misinfo regarding 2019-CoV being chimeric with HIV [UNTRUE]
one must take convergent selection into account. this means many unrelated organisms evolve the same solution to a problem because it is the only solution to the problem that doesnt produce disadvantage.
i took a look at Steven Quays back story , and it is not to his credit regarding any declaration about the origin of 2019-CoV. his research consists of a bayesian analysis of sequence data, no wet work is produced.
the paper in question here:
https://zenodo.org/record/4642956 https://zenodo.org/record/4642956
is not published in an accredited journal, despite modifications.
this smells like duck seems to walk like a duck, i have yet to recieve any corresponence so i dont know if it sounds like a duck, but im hunching it would.
there is more to this, but i think the direction this is going should be implict by now.
