Bats in Laos Caves Harbor Closest Relatives to Covid-19 Virus (bloomberg.com)

"The receptor binding domains of three Laos coronaviruses are closer to that of SARS-CoV-2 than to the RaTG13 virus identified in Rhinopholus affinis bats from the Mojiang mineshaft in Yunnan province, that was regarded as the pandemic strain’s closest match."

But no amount of research will deter those who want it to be a lab leak.

The propaganda is deeply shameful, obvious and ultimately will be self-destructive, like so much of what "The West" has done for many decades.


"None of the bat viruses isolated in Laos harbors a so-called furin cleavage site in the spike that facilitates cell entry. It’s a feature of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that has led some scientists to theorize that it was created in a laboratory."

There is no proof, stop with the conspiracy theories. Do that somewhere else. May I suggest Reddit or QAnon they seem like your kind of places.
