On January 30, 2020 on the 148th episode of The Highwire program, Del Bigtree spoke with Dr James Lyons-Weiler about his assessment of the recently released Coronavirus virus (2019-nCoV) genetic sequence, later named SARS-CoV-2. Dr Lyons-Weiler revealed [1]:
- There is only a 76% fit to bat coronaviruses
- A Chinese Patented novel vector technology sequence appeared in the genome which is “unusual to find…in a virus that is circulating”
“One thing we can say for certain is that this particular virus has a laboratory origin”
