The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2

Christian Anderson is the senior author on a paper that comes out completely dismissing the possibility. There's an exchange between Anderson and an editor at Nature magazine in which she says, can't you dismiss the possibility altogether? And he patiently explains to us, no, I'm afraid the pangolins don't really help us here. None of this helps refute a lab origin, and the possibility must be considered as a serious scientific theory,. We really, really wish we could do that for other things, but unfortunately it's not possible in the data.
