It's pretty unbelievable how people really don't actually read what's in front of them... How this can be interpreted inany other way than Fauci wanting to look into this in a scientific way, I just don't understand...My wording of "inconsistent with evolutionary theory" is just a really, really dumb way of saying "we think they might have fiddled with it", but those were the words we (I) were using at the time. Could have been phrased better, but hey, it got the job done.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.
