Technically it is Nature Medicine. Nature rejected the paper.

To be fair its a correspondence. Not usually peer-viewed as they are supposed to contain no new research, and be a point-of-view discussion on issues that are of general interest to the reads of said journal.

Sure, but I see it used all time time as "peer reviewed sources" to debunk a lab origin all the time. The authors themselves on twitter even refer to it as having been peer reviewed.

Peer review is really no guarantee of anything. It catches some problems, sometimes.
