Note the conclusion: "The analysis of public genome sequence data from SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses found no evidence that the virus was made in a laboratory or otherwise engineered." I hope Senator Cotton notices this. FC From: Kristian G.

We're happy to say that the paper was just accepted by Nature Medicine and should be published shortly (not quite sure when). To keep you in the loop, I just wanted to share the accepted version with you, as well as a draft press release. We're still waiting for proofs, so please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, or questions about the paper or the press release. Tony, thank you for your straight talk on CNN last night - it's being noticed. Best, Kristian Kristian G.
