Virologist releases paper claiming coronavirus made in Chinese lab

I doubt it. I cannot believe a scientific paper just because its published. I have been in medical community and i know for a fact that to be published in a journal requires a lot of proof and the journals also do proper analysis of their own. However, this was published online, not in any journal because the journals have not allowed her to post it. Anyone can write in scientific language and upload it, few of my college mates used to get some of their thesis done from non-medical person.

If that paper of hers gets published in a reputed journal, then i would believe it. Till then, its all a conspiracy theory to me.
