Do you have a link about the HIV gene sequences? I remember a preprint that claimed that, but the sequence were very short, not whole genes. Two where 6 amino acid long and the other where not exact matches, but a small matech nearby a small match.

For an analogy, let's imagine that the genome of the virus were a short esay, and the whole genes were sentences. It is like claiming plagirism, because two persons use the word "banana" and the word "apple" in another sentence and then they used "co???ion" and "in???ing" in another two sentences.

I don't have links about the HIV gene sequence but in the post I put every primary research article I could find about COVID-19 and HIV or T-Cells.

COVID-19 is bonding to T-cells and killing them, in a way that is similar to HIV but not exactly the same

It is the last article linked Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag

The important part is in Table 1. If you take a look at the coincidences, the first two are equal but very short. The third one has a hole and it has a few differences

  RSYL---TPGDSSSG
  RTYLFNETRGNSSSG

The fourth one has also a big hole, but they are using another strain of the virus. This article has a more detailed analysis https://theprepared.com/blog/no-the-2019-ncov-genome-doesnt-...

I included that study but it was retracted later. I believe that it is still valuable in the context of the bigger picture of research and the conversation on the subject.

There is other peer-reviewed research which is included

I think it was never officialy published. The other research articles don't claim that Covid-19 has copies of parts of HIV.

No- they claim that it attacks T-cells like HIV

The odd thing is that even the media is starting to talk about the lab theory. Even if it was true, I would never expect to see it get air time. But it is.

It seemed like a conspiracy theory but in all fairness- a mistake that came out of a lab is certainly a possibility.
