User rcpt shared the, much more legible, twitter thread this kinda trash telegraph article is citing, reposting as a top level comment since the parent comment there is being modded: https://twitter.com/jbloom_lab/status/1491297779855278082?t=jQeAhG4EWufraCrRIhtxCg&s=19 https://twitter.com/jbloom_lab/status/1491297779855278082?t=... And my response based on that: >Thanks, that twitter thread actually makes sense, unlike the telegraph article. The conclusion seems to be that we need a timestamp on when these samples were sequenced. If in Jan 2020 it is fine, if its in 2019 it catches the Chinese Gov in a lie. The sequences themselves are not unusual for early COVID and have been seen before, but the context of human cell lines suggests they were being cultured. >So, no conclusive evidence of lab leak without a known timestamp we don‘t have. The telegraph is editorialising for clicks.
