He's a super-star. I noticed all that stuff about Rs8561 etc. the other day. No where near SARS-CoV-2. All this searching online and they have found nothing closer than RaTG13. I wonder why.

Please, please, please do yourself a favor and go through these - he is tearing apart Alina, The Seeker, and all the other Bloomshitters.

One would think SARS-CoV-2 would have been in that 2019 thesis had they had SARS-CoV-2 in the lab.... It's just extremely dumb - and Alex is very very good at laying that bare.
