It's behind a paywall, I'll see if I see another good source and post it in the comments. Please don't forget the petition.

#8 Perhaps I'm just a conspiracy theorist, But I still DO have a copy of the withdrawn Indian 'HIV paper', and while I don't claim to be a virologist; the allegations of genetic variability properties of the ACE-2 receptor as a possible vector for attacks on certain populations was intriguing and worrisome.
If there truly were (I recall an 8) nucleic acid sequence unheard of in wild coronaviruses but the same sequence that allowed the similar RNA HIV virus to make a protein that attaches to T-cells as the initiator of the cascade leading to clinical AIDS that would suggest a manipulated genome. Really putting my tinfoil hat on; could this be Faucis Frankenvirus he loaned to the Chinese when Gain of function research was outlawed in US in 2014?
I was involved in likely the first case of HIV identified in N. FL in early 80s. Whatever the issues were with the vaccine now; that paper prompted me to get vaccinated ASAP. I'd likely already had the then S form of the WuFlu virus in 12/2019...

#6 I'll have to remember the 12 foot ladder site.

Also, what they were saying, in handy infographic format:

The 2020 "Proximal Origin" paper falsely claimed science showed COVID-19 did not have a lab origin. Newly released messages from the authors show they did not believe the conclusions of the paper and show the paper is the product of scientific fraud and scientific misconduct.… pic.twitter.com/61daITfmA9

/\ When will we start seeing indictments and the trials begin?

Could be several decades. Then again, it could be never.

#2 When will we start seeing indictments and the trials begin?

Or, was this an pre-approved test run for a future population control scenario? As has been suggested by many?
