It is hard to tell from the writing - are the sources claiming that they know the researchers were sick with Covid-19 specifically, or are they saying they know the researchers with sick with something, and that they had symptoms consistent with covid-19?
We go from:
>Sources within the US government say that three of the earliest people to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 were Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu.
To:
>not only do we know there were WIV scientists who had developed COVID-19-like illnesses in November 2019,
Is it Covid, or Covid-like?

- rightbyte 3y agoI can't make sense of this article. It is a bit rambling and seems to mix quotes from different times. "Politicians, scientists, journalists, and amateur researchers for years now have zeroed in on the possibility that Covid-19 may have resulted from U.S.-funded gain-of-function research conducted in China." And the authors leave it at that. Maybe some references to articles would be nice? Or should I just trust their meta-analysis or what.
