A "new study" has hit the headlines that apparently proves that SARS-CoV-2 was lab-grown I am QUITE SKEPTICAL for a number of reasons, would love your thoughts...pic.twitter.com/J9aJc1BeTq

Also, the statement in the abstract that "all relevant" information has been destroyed or is unavailable is both untrue and a weeeird conspiracy theory for a scientific journal to publish
Reading the abstract, they literally say "because of our study, which does not prove anything, we expect other people to prove that the virus did not escape from a lab" Like I said, not ideal logic that
In an interview, one of the two scientists also says things that are, uh, wrong Again, not a virologist but as I understand it this is simply untrue (natural viruses can do lots of things)pic.twitter.com/G9G3KKvEnB

'we deploy an active scientific logic' a questionable statement that seems to mean 'we are right until we are proven wrong' the actual opposite of "science"
They got me at: "those who would maintain zoonotic hypothesis need to explain precisely why our simpler account of laboratory manipulation is wrong, before asserting that their evidence is persuasive", to realize how ubiquitous those unique fingerprints are
What? Don't you see they apply and "active scientific logic"? Honestly, I kept expecting them to use the term "irreducible complexity".
