Same here - I'm not sure what his angle is either, but sounds like Eddie talked to him.

In context

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.

"Accelerated evolution", of course. They _completely_ ignore the new pangolin and bat CoVs (since they're fake). If they had included them, all their arguments go away.

That smoking gun is present in RaTG13 as well... So hardly a smoking gun - it's a conserved sequence
