I think it's FOMO for a lot of authors. Appalled by Worobey being on there. I can't see how this will possibly lead toanything.

In context

Baric is just trying to cover his ass. Pathetic. The last paragraph is basically 'hey, we're not racists'.

There are some clearly false musings: "Although there were no findings in clear support of either a natural spilloveror a lab accident, the team assessed a zoonotic spillover from an intermediate host as "likely to very likely," and alaboratory incident as "extremely unlikely" [(4), p. 9]. Half true - as @Kristian Andersen has tweeted there are some clear findings in support of natural origin.
