Can someone fill me in - what is the 'Yan Report' and why is it being given consideration?

@Kristian Andersen She's the scientist who's been making the round on Fox News (and other conservative media) for months alleging that SARS-CoV-2 came from the lab. She's got decent credentials, so the right is listening. This is her report... Cherry picking and ignoring all recent data.

And they say that 'ZC45' is the progenitor. Nuts.

They say a lot of things... But yeah, ZC45 was the template... (they might want to look at the alignment again...)

3690 nucleotide differences between ZC45 and SC2. That is a lot of engineering.
