Ya, that is noted in the post. Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine how HIV gene sequences would get in the mix. Unless perhaps there was a monkey involved...which seems less likely than this coming out of a lab

Do you have a link about the HIV gene sequences? I remember a preprint that claimed that, but the sequence were very short, not whole genes. Two where 6 amino acid long and the other where not exact matches, but a small matech nearby a small match.

For an analogy, let's imagine that the genome of the virus were a short esay, and the whole genes were sentences. It is like claiming plagirism, because two persons use the word "banana" and the word "apple" in another sentence and then they used "co???ion" and "in???ing" in another two sentences.

I don't have links about the HIV gene sequence but in the post I put every primary research article I could find about COVID-19 and HIV or T-Cells.

COVID-19 is bonding to T-cells and killing them, in a way that is similar to HIV but not exactly the same

The odd thing is that even the media is starting to talk about the lab theory. Even if it was true, I would never expect to see it get air time. But it is.

It seemed like a conspiracy theory but in all fairness- a mistake that came out of a lab is certainly a possibility.
