And the purpose of the full-length genome was to go from the WIV1/SHC014 backbones to the original backbone that the candidate spike was derived from to see if the backbone had an effect on pathogenicity. Only one variable changed at a time.

The Emily Kopp unearthed draft described on MBW's site is consistent with the final Defuse proposal representing what the purpose of the consensus genome was. i.e. it was for quality control to eliminate sequencing errors.

Your want to play your Pekar game *again* as some kind of gotcha when all 7 of your factors, assigned as pro lab leak, are a zero at best.

This may have been the motivation for the opinion - to try to knock down what SAGO says about 'lab leak'. What they leave out is that SAGO finds no evidence for the engineering scenarios a la Bruttel.

I pushed the natural origin to 95-5 after feeding Grok your paper :-)

And here is a list of things Bruttel believes in which has relevance for his credibility.

And of course as you know, the Banal and Wang'21 locations aren't even close as far as road trips go. Ridley thinks he caught Ecohealth/WIV obfuscating about sampling in Laos.

They even addressed the claim that the RE sites were left in to easily swap spikes I.e. they are not positioned in SARS2 to allow the exchange of the entire spike protein.

Bruttel even got his own university colleagues to issue a public review refuting his conclusions.
