Corona virus naturally occurred. Please read the 120 comment thread of this paper that has been retracted because the authors realized how it is fueling exactly this kind of thread. Sure propaganda wise might be good to have people questioning but if you care about the truth just read the comment in this thread. I verified that the people countering this "HIV insert" meme are real people, they have hundreds of citations and live all around the world. Occum's razor. These reputable scientists who live across the planet all must be a part of the conspiracy too. Their conclusions also can make sense to the layman who doesn't know biology but understands rudimentary probability and the basic concepts behind data. This was truly a coincidence it seems as horrible as that rolls off the tongue in the forum because we all know many coincidences that are too good to be true (take dancing israelis for instance, or operation northwoods, or western support of isis WHICH ARE ALL REAL). If you care about the truth know this: corona virus naturally evolved. A real bioweapon would be much worse than this and you KNOW THAT. PNAC disclosed that there is interest in making them genomically specific. THAT IS REAL.
>verified real people You mean verified real Chinese people. Go fuck yourself while Xi watches, ChingChong

Nawh there are many westerners posting in that thread and anyone can just copy and paste their names and see they have hundreds, sometimes thousands of citations. This HIV insert meme is actually fake news and anyone with a grasp of the problem in it's fundamental nature (that these are short sequences commonly found in nature EVEN FOUND IN PREVIOUS STRAINS OF BAT CORONA) knows that the TRUTH is that this is natural. FOR PROPAGANDA PURPOSES I GET IT THOUGH.
> A real bioweapon would be much worse than this and you KNOW THAT >Hurr durr a modified lab strain of a virus made for medical research has to be deliberately weaponized to be dangerous and destructive You're an idiot Huang.
Nope, a researcher literally analyzed the virus in the first few days and posted the genetic analysis on here; it was 100% man-made.
Fuck off, Chang

Hey Huang, let me translate that for you. BING BONG BOMG CHING CHONG CHING CHONG BING BONG BING CHING CHONG CHING

>bioweapon
No. Classical gain-of-function lab strain, likely to study viral cell entry and membrane fusion mechanisms via co-receptors. All phylogenetics articles I've seen so far fail to construct a natural lineage for the virus. Inserts were done by simple PCR mutagenesis, then using a packaging system in cell culture to create modified virus ... grad student task in the end. Likely how escaped too. Grad student fucking up. Don't need a "conspiracy" to try covering up what will in ten years be known as the Chinese biotech Chernobyl.
>HIV insert Distraction. Focus on the chimerification. Disproving the premise of the paper does not prove it naturally occured.

moron
Landon Perez
now you are speaking my language!!! okay but where is the hard evidence that it was lab modified. The evidence is the "HIV INSERTS". 3 out of 4 of these "inserts" exist in a previous recorded bat-related corona virus strain bing bing ping pong ming ching quin ming?? are the inserts the ones discussed in this article? how large are these inserts?
Juan Lee
The guy who discovered HIV says it was lab made
Joseph Robinson
The HIV doc says the sequence thats been adjusted or added would disappear as the virus progresses. Not buying your shit user. How many of the commentors share a Nobel prize?

Fuck you chinkfag

Jup, those inserts. Are about 6 AA long if I remember correctly, so about 18 base pairs ... did once knock a genetic tag of similar length into a plasmid by mutagenesis primers. Worked nicely. Just have to design them with online tool, order your primers and the PCR mutagenesis kit, mix all together according to manual, push into PCR machine ... then go for a long coffee break. Packaging into virions in cell culture would be more tricky, would say about a week of work.
>previous strain
Yes, RaTG13. Allegedly "discovered" in 2013 but only reported and uploaded to pubmed in January 2020. ;)
Just give it up faggot, you’re going to have to choose between eating your radioactive bats or dead siblings when we turn Beijing into Hiroshima 2: Atomic Boogaloo
>18 base pairs >can't evolve naturally can you dispute the comments in that thread that show that these short sequences that appear everywhere in nature. Can you provide evidence beyond this document that suggests engineering nigger?
Ayden Rodriguez
Herr Reichprofessor, just in case you can’t read Chinkese, it said: >China no lie about virus. Virus come from bat and America military. Now here, have fortune cookie and quit asking questions.
I think Occam's Razor supports the idea that this naturally arose? I think that the comments in the article I posted point to that idea. I think that if you want to prove your conspiracy you may have to even implicate these spread out scientists in this as disinfo agents? Why are these reputable scientists with hundreds if not thousands of citations showing what is probabilistically true. That these base pairs, are short in length and thus can appear randomly, especially due to natural evolution. That they exist in other speices in abundance and even in previous iterations of corona virus related to bats.
