"they explain that they did not have any monkeypox genomes available- strange for an institute dedicated specifically to virology research to not have the capabilities of receiving monkeypox samples"
Yep, no way they could get them from the highly moral researcher(s) like Anthony Fauci, Ralph Baric, Fort Dietrich, Russian Institutes, the CDC, and so forth.
They are not only covering their butt, other butts as well.
Like I've stated, this paper isn't some red herring for dangerous research- that may be happening behind the scenes, and in that case this paper wouldn't be the one to use as a smoking gun. Nonetheless, it just seemed like some of the wording from the paper seemed weird, like it maybe wanted to get ahead of something?
I'd like to see more data on the years leading up to 2021. Otherwise we have a gap of information and that just raises more questions. I didn't look at the received date, and usually it doesn't mean much but I guess with everything going on it only leads one to speculate. It doesn't help that the journal is apparently one of China's own journals.

This stinks!

My thoughts exactly. Almost like they knew what was coming?
