Atsushi Tanaka and Takayuki Miyazawa, “Unnatural Evolutionary Processes of SAR-CoV-2 Variants and Possibility of Deliberate Natural Selection,” have set out the case that more recent variants of Covid, such as Omicron, are likely to be lab creations, since the molecular structure and order of mutations is not something to be expected in nature. There was argument in the past that the original alpha version of Covid was a product of a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but the new hypothesis, while consistent with the original Covid origin scenario, raises new issues not discussed in the scientific paper, which is primarily concerned with a study of the mutations.
It raises the possibility that variants of Covid are not being generated by natural evolution, but are continuously being released from the bioweapons labs. If this is so, then nothing would prevent a release of a new Covid variant just in time for the US election to repeat the events of 2020. It is possible that this variant may be a more serious one, since a larger proportion of the population are sick of he Covid business, and it will take bodies in the street, as in 1918, to scare them into submission.

“Over the past three years, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has repeatedly caused pandemics, generating various mutated variants ranging from Alpha to Omicron. In this study, we aimed to clarify the evolutionary processes leading to the formation of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, focusing on Omicron variants with many amino acid mutations in the spike protein among SARS-CoV-2 isolates. To determine the order of mutations leading to the formation of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, we compared the sequences of 129 Omicron BA.1-related, 141 BA.1.1-related, and 122 BA.2-related isolates, and attempted to clarify the evolutionary processes of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants, including the order of mutations leading to their formation and the occurrence of homologous recombination. As a result, we concluded that the formation of a part of Omicron isolates BA.1, BA.1.1, and BA.2 was not the product of genome evolution, as is commonly observed in nature, such as the accumulation of mutations and homologous recombinations. Furthermore, the study of 35 recombinant isolates of Omicron variants BA.1 and BA.2 confirmed that Omicron variants were already present in 2020. The analysis showed that Omicron variants were formed by an entirely new mechanism that cannot be explained by previous biology, and knowing how the SARS-CoV-2 variants were formed prompts a reconsideration of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.”
