That was a fantastic read. It doesn't prove that it was lab-made, but I think it soundly rejects current arguments that it is a natural recombination. It also is a wonderful explanation of the furin cleavage site and why that is such a key mutation for amplifying the virus' infectiousness.

It does prove they were doing SARS research. Just great.
