Original Note:
NNN Author claimed the DEFUSE proposal was a blueprint, not that it created or is proof that it came from a lab. Early records/data/sequences were deleted by or at the request of the WIV. It's unclear if there may have been a progenitor sequence/animal present. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/23/science/coronavirus-sequences.html https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-told-labs-to-destroy-coronavirus-samples-to-reduce-biosafety-risks-11589684291 https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/23/health/coronavirus-sequences-database-scientist/index.html
