The author of that article makes some claims that you should give some critical thought to:

Some are pretty obviously wrong:

- they say the virus hasn't mutated to become more suitable or transmissible in humans

- they imply the first cases of COVID-19 were hospitalizations and imply that asymptomatic spread of the disease is not possible

Then also the article claims that science hasn't tracked gene mutations of the virus that took place in bats. I think that has indeed happened.

The logic of the people they blame us contradictory too. They say the base DNA could have been concealed by making a novel base but then they say by that this was a researcher doing public, documented research, which suggests they would indeed use standard practices and the signatures would be there.

You seriously miss read a lot of what was said in that article to post those claims. Re read slower and pay mind to the nuances.

Could you be more specific perhaps? Maybe you could take the time and explain to me the motives of using a novel base to hide the weapons research while also publishing said research because it's public and funded by grant money. Something about universities hiring evil secret agents doesn't seem plausible to me.
