I'm looking to hire a research technician to work on antiviral drug testing for filoviruses. No prior BSL-4 experience is required; training will be provided. Individuals with virology experience preferred.

I'm not going to argue against assertions without evidence that have been repeatedly debunked by the scientific community. The overwhelming majority of the scientific community believe in the natural, zoonotic source of SARS-CoV-2. This is what the original poster asked about.

Here is a more recent review - published this summer - that came to the same conclusion. The evidence still points to a natural origin of SARS-CoV-2 via the wet markets: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2202871119

@jeffcliff @Angie_rasmussen @bot @Beomus

All evidence points to a natural origin, with the virus spilling over to humans in the wet markets of Wuhan (or to animal handlers before they arrived at the wet markets). Given the evidence, every single virologist I know strongly favors the hypothesis of a natural origin.
