Sigh... It literally says "They claim there is a one-in-three-trillion chance Moderna's sequence randomly appeared through natural evolution."
People that are 1000x more knowledgeable on the subject give those odds....
If you actually read the study, the math shows that the 1 in 3 trillion odds are in the probability that a 19-character sequence will appear simultaneously in a particular 3,300-character sequence and a 30,000-character sequence, and then that the 3,300-character sequence will be one that is in the comparison database. The math and statistics may be accurate, but that doesn’t mean the headline isn’t misleading.
Also, if you read the entire article, you’ll see a virologist and a microbiologist both give it little credence:
“Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at Warwick University, admitted the latest finding was interesting but claimed it was not significant enough to suggest lab manipulation.
He told MailOnline: 'We're talking about a very, very, very small piece made up of 19 nucleotides.
'So
it doesn't mean very much to be frank, if you do these types of searches you can always find matches.
'Sometimes these things happen fortuitously, sometimes it's the result of convergent evolution (when organisms evolve independently to have similar traits to adapt to their environment).
'It's a
quirky observation but I wouldn't call it a smoking gun because it's too small.
He added: 'It doesn't get us any further with the debate about whether Covid was engineered.'
Dr Simon Clarke, a microbiologist at Reading University,
questioned whether the find was as rare as the study claims.
He told MailOnline: 'There can only be a certain number of [genetic combinations within] furin cleavage sites.
'They function like a lock and key in the cell, and the two only fit together in a limited number of combinations.
'So it's an interesting coincidence but this is
surely entirely coincidental.' “
