The Greatest Academic Fraud of all Time

Fast Factoids: Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2: 
 displays a beautiful irony in it’s title 
 was, according to the authors, purpose-written to quell conspiracy theories around a possible lab-leak (theories originated by Chinese netizens , btw 
 was funded by NIH/Francis Collins (H3Africa co-funder) and Wellcome (Farrar) 
 draft, according to Garry , was complete .. Feb 1st - same date as authors held strategy-session conference call with Farrar and Fauci. (Flashback: On Jan 31 , Andersen (lead author) emailed Farrar/Fauci/Collins saying it looks engineered . That means - literally overnight - the authors changed their thinking 180 degrees, then re-researched/re-wrote/re-edited to - first draft - delivered (at MOU’s Feb 1 teleconference) a paper that clearly show(s) SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus .) 
 Or …they made it up. 1707 citations so far - mostly positive ones. An altmetric score of 36,768 - which blows the previous world record of 11,980 out of the water.  Once Prox O breaks new ground as Exhibit A in the cover-up - which it’s about to - all bets are off mega-platformed (via Nature, Guardian, CNN et al media) the pangolin/wetmarket discourse to irrefutably show Covid couldn’t possibly be a lab-leak.  
 All this In the crucial nascent period. Where if we’d known it was a GoFFed-up lab bug on the loose - we could have reacted accordingly. 
 But wait - there’s a silver lining! 
 Nature, Sep 2020: Through the ‘Solidarity’ trials , the WHO has launched a global campaign to test therapeutic agents and vaccines on an unprecedented scale 5 .  
 No, we’ll get to that in a different thread Nature , but we’re not going to be diverted from this question: 
 Was Proximal Origin knowingly concocted/pro-moed with the full-might of One-Everything - to cover up the origin of Covid?
