Believe the science!-----The Science Suggests a Wuhan Lab Leak - WSJ

The Science Suggests a Wuhan Lab Leak - WSJ
"...But the most compelling reason to favor the lab leak hypothesis is firmly based in science. 
In particular, consider the genetic fingerprint of CoV-2, the novel coronavirus responsible for the disease Covid-19.
In gain-of-function research, a microbiologist can increase the lethality of a coronavirus enormously by splicing a special sequence into its genome at a prime location. 
Doing this leaves no trace of manipulation. 
But it alters the virus spike protein, rendering it easier for the virus to inject genetic material into the victim cell. 
Since 1992 there have been at least 11 separate experiments adding a special sequence to the same location. 
The end result has always been supercharged viruses.
...The presence of the double CGG sequence is strong evidence of gene splicing, and the absence of diversity in the public outbreak suggests gain-of-function acceleration
The scientific evidence points to the conclusion that the virus was developed in a laboratory...Read all.
