To everyone that doesn't understand. Number 9 is the core issue and the most scary part. Just think about it.
Yeah, that is scary, as he said then.... " “[The results] move this virus from a candidate emerging pathogen to a clear and present danger,” Peter Daszak, president of the EcoHealth Alliance, which samples viruses from animals and people in emerging-diseases hotspots across the globe, told
Nature. "
But here is the same guy today, with quite a different tone...

So basically, we have a standard debate in science - should we study this, with some risks (of incidents in this case), or should we reduce the risk of accidents to zero by not studying it but be exposed to a much wider incident with a lot less knowledge? There isn't a clear cut response. Then some guy works backward from the mutation rate and suspects the branching happened a while ago, something that is immediately contested by a guy who has a different mutation rate in mind...
No grounds for conspiracy theories... Oh, and both of the guys disagreeing on mutation rates have stronger data than any speaker manufacturers on speaker's preferences btw...
