"the SARS-CoV-2 spike, similarly to the more distantly related Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV), contains a polybasic CS, characterized as being a suboptimal furin CS. This polybasic CS is absent from the closest relatives of SARS-CoV-2, although similar polybasic CSs are found in more distantly related coronaviruses"



It's not even the most similar virus to sars-cov-2. Even if it's fake it doesn't matter and there's no evidence that it is.


I didn't realize that COVID-19 has a virus more similar to it than ratg13. When did this change?

That's disingenuous. There's evidence, but you're just ignoring it.

It does matter because it means that COVID-19 is likely created in a lab.
