This paper is saying that B.1.1.7 is itself a recombinant

In context

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

    Hang on - I will check to see if this is one of the same recombinant we discuss in our preprint.

    Perhaps I should post it and let the public decide

    It doesn't cite our recombination in B.1.1.7 paper - https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.18.21258689v1 (which was also on virological for a few months)

    It also doesn't cite our original virological post https://virological.org/t/563 which gives a suggestion of how it arose (not stepwise)

    It isn't a recombinant.

    But I don't care really - it won't get anywhere

    I'll ponder it...
