Now, I have no idea how they came up with that 3 trillion number. By my math, the odds would be 1 in 4 to the 19th power, or about 1 in 275 billion, and then divided by the 30,000 letters in the DNA sequence of Covid, and then divide that by the 3300 nucleotides in the patent, or ultimately, about 1 in 2800.Fresh suspicion that Covid may have been tinkered with in a lab emerged today after scientists found genetic material owned by Moderna in the virus's spike protein. They identified a tiny snippet of code that is identical to part of a gene patented by the vaccine maker three years before the pandemic.
It was discovered in SARS-CoV-2's unique furin cleavage site, the part that makes it so good at infecting people and separates it from other coronaviruses...The international team of researchers suggest the virus may have mutated to have a furin cleavage site during experiments on human cells in a lab. They claim there is a one-in-three-trillion chance Moderna's sequence randomly appeared through natural evolution. ...
Analysis of the original Covid genome found the virus shares a sequence of 19 specific letters with a genetic section owned by Moderna, which has a total of 3,300 nucleotides.
Hardly 1 in 3 trillion, but that's still a bit bigger than just a random "quirk" IMO. 1 in 2800 could be pure chance, but the fact that it is a specific part of the virus that impacts its transmissibility makes it interesting.
