"My guess is that they were created for something else and then backfilled" Yeah, that's my suspicion too - although that _is_ a little unsual.

But I think the other option is even more unusual...but I'm as keen to find out as you! At the very least we need acompelling answer for the trolls who are about to descend upon us...

Yeah, I don't really see how any of this fits with WIV (other than it being close to PLA). It fits better with the Huanan market (since the whole "Line 2" narrative isn't all that stupid)

One thing "Steve" considers a potential hypothesis here is a "vaccine challenge trial" - which isn't totally idiotic. But we'd have known about some SARS2 related virus if that were the case.

Raccoon dogs in the market would be so simple....yes, the vaccine trial is mad.

We know there must have cases around at that time. All those posterior diversity stuff is complete BS though. That Wade guy from the NYT kept rattling on about that.
