How did you discern that from the article? He's not discounting a valid, scientific approach. That's the current problem! You've got a bunch of pharma companies vying for contracts...we've already seen recalls and "problems" with "approved" vaccines. Fauci doesn't know WTF to do beside contradict himself and hope he can blow enough smoke to cover his blunders. The article is pointing to a herd mentality based on dubious science that is ostracizing anyone who thinks outside the bod.

Codons are the nucleotide units along the DNA/RNA chain that will only bind with a specific amino acid. The amino acids are building blocks for proteins.
The ‘code’ [literally a kind of software] for any protein lies in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. Or RNA in viruses. It’s virtually impossible for a functional protein to form by chance. It requires a script for its construction.
It’s above my pay grade to explain why, but there’s something about the CCG-CCG codon pairing that places it out of reach of an evolutionary process. IOW, it couldn’t have occurred incrementally[?].
Which, by default, makes it a product of intelligent design.

Say what you will about Trump be he would have canned Fauci—before now.
Partisan politics is the side show on this. We have a real problem with incompetence and corruption in our government and institutions. It came out in a congressional hearing yesterday that a Chinese defector [a virologist] was blowing the whistle on the Wuhan lab early in the game. She had text messages and documents relating to the GOF research in Wuhan.
The FBI interviewed her and the idiots classified her as a CCP counterintelligence asset.

Trumptard echo chamber batting about dubious theories to defame a trump reticent detractor to exact political revenge. Color me shocked.

Hello Taichiliberal,
People are doing the best they can. Nobody is perfect. We are humans. The scientific effort which has been taken is far superior to doing nothing. We would not be coming out of this pandemic if not for the vaccines. It was coming on strong. I was watching all the numbers. We had a monster wave coming on. We got most people vaccinated, the numbers dropped precipitously. The more participation we can get, the better the results.
I'm not crazy about vaccines. I never get the flu vaccine. This is different. A worldwide pandemic demands a coordinated response.
Is it 100% ideal?
Of course not. Little in this world is.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
Give me a break.
Left politicized Covid to no end. They even got a ‘Covid election’ that led to sketchy changes in election laws in some states and mass mail in ballots—many of which were ‘delivered’ in the wee hours of the morning the day after election.
The lab leak theory was kept quiet for political reasons and because certain people and certain institutions could be implicated in it.
Go sell it somewhere else.

The ethical conundrums of this and conflict is expected. The difference between this and say lepers or typhoid, is these morons choose to acquire it, and lepers had no say in it.
So I have a hard time mustering up much stigma sympathy for their irresponsibility, especially since they hide amongst us, spreading the infection and posing as having been faxed.
RNA viruses lack the error correcting of DNA viruses and other DNA lifeforms. Over 99% of them are not functional from mutations(die at birth). That makes them acceleration evolutionary platforms. They can noticeably evolve over the course of a day. They can, and do form new proteins through random mutations. Those new proteins sometimes give advantages.
In a single HIV patient, being given drugs to treat the HIV, the HIV will evolve around those drugs over time.
A virologist would know bacteria are no more viruses than cats are viruses.
RNA viruses evolve quickly, like scary quickly. A virologist would know that.. Covid-19 is evolving quickly, all around the world. For humans to be behind it, would require an organization spreading it to different hot spots.
As for how quickly it was evolving before it was discovered, that is more difficult to tell. It appears to have been moving back and forth between humans and other species for hundreds of years, but we do not know for sure.
