Original Note:
The study cited in the article was not peer reviewed in any manner, it also only looked at omicron variants, not "all covid variants" like it's claimed in the tweet. The study stated "Furthermore, we do not conclude that these viruses were artificially synthesized" https://publichealthcollaborative.org/misinformation-alert/viral-article-claims-that-a-new-study-found-all-covid-19-variants-are-man-made/ https://www.techarp.com/science/japan-covid-variants-engineered/ https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/omicrons-many-subvariants Study https://www.scienceopen.com/document?vid=539dd567-234d-4c32-a785-dabbcde39b26
