"Unnatural evolution": indisputable evidence for deliberate and systematic creation of circulating covid variants

 

In the figure below (Fig 2A from the paper), each row represents a variant of omicron BA1 found "in the wild". The columns represent each of the omicron mutations. If the cell is colored, that means the variant carries the mutation. White cells show the mutation is missing, and the spike protein sequence is identical to the original Wuhan strain at that point. If you think the table looks awfully neat, you’re right. It shows that, for all but one mutation in the omicron sub-variant BA1, a strain exists in which that mutation - alone - is absent.
