Abstract

I argue that the question of the SARS-CoV-2 proximal origin should be discussed widely within the scientific community, and not entirely given up to general media. In the absence of proofs, it is useful to propose refutable formulations of scientific questions, separate facts from opinions and critically examine hints. I will discuss possible evidence-based investigations, including those based on computational modeling (epidemiological reconstruction and modeling the evolution of viral genomes). I will also briefly discuss the importance of the ongoing debate, its current status, and the reaction of the scientific community. *Contents* 00:00 - Introduction 06:16 - Presentation: François Graner: Evidence-Based Investigation of SARS-CoV-2 Proximal Origin 35:02 - Questions and Discussions For more information see: https://lnkd.in/dd-9ENfD Moderator: James A.
