Re: the claim about the non-synonymous/synonymous mutation ratio (N:NS ratio): if you calculate this ratio for each variant listed on https://covariants.org/variants https://covariants.org/variants, you will see that all variants have a very high NS:S ratio. So either the entire evolution of the virus is being guided by mad scientists in secret labs, or we armchair virologists are over-interpreting the NS:S ratio.
I think there is ample evidence at this point that this person lacks expertise in virology, and the arguments they make are probably much less strong than they may sound to a layman.
