Lab-Made Coronavirus Triggers Debate (2015)
Sigh.  As I&#x27;ve said in other posts, if any experiment of this sort were the source of sars-cov-2, it would be -blindingly- obvious.  The synthetic metagenomic experiments looking into spike, etc. leave completely obvious traces, number one being the use of known, characterized viral vectors.  Using some random isolates as experimental vectors is not only methodologically pointless and counterproductive, it&#x27;s vastly more difficult to do.
