According to a report from The Daily Wire, a group of scientists is demanding COVID Doc Anthony Fauci retract The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2 —a paper that csupported COVID’s origins in nature.
“Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus,” wrote the five prominent scientists who authored the paper. “We do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”
But in the time since the paper’s publishing, the COVID lab-leak theory has gone from the fringe to the forefront as a plausible explanation for the outbreak.
From The Daily Wire:
A total of 47 scientists and other STEM professionals signed an open letter to Nature Medicine journal calling for the paper to be retracted.
“We, as STEM and STEM-policy professionals, call upon Nature Medicine to publish an expression of editorial concern for the paper and to begin a process of withdrawal or retraction of the paper,” the signers wrote.
The paper is “scientific fraud,” declared one of the signers, Richard H. Ebright, the Board of Governors professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers University.
The paper “falsely claimed science showed COVID-19 did not have a lab origin,” Ebright wrote in a tweet. “Newly released messages from the authors show they did not believe the conclusions of the paper and show the paper is the product of scientific fraud and scientific misconduct.”
