I remember Indian researchers presenting their evidence that there were some odd synthetic genome insertions and they were quickly dismissed. https://www.opindia.com/2021/06/indian-scientists-had-found-unique-insertions-in-covid-19-virus-genome/ https://www.opindia.com/2021/06/indian-scientists-had-found-...
