So just to be clear: WIV had all these sequences at the time most closely related to SARS-CoV-2 and they chose not to disclose it in Jan 2020, and even after 15 months. https://twitter.com/TheSeeker268/status/1392575191763472388 sequences means genome sequences.

No sane person would state bat SARS-related CoVs pose "clear and present danger" for pandemic emergence (https://nature.com/news/engineered-bat-virus-stirs-debate-over-risky-research-%201.18787…) and then construct novel chimeric bat SARS-related CoVs at biosafety level 2.

5-21-21 With the centralisation and bureaucratisation of scientific funding, defection from a well-institutionalised consensus is even more costly now than it was when Thomas Kuhn wrote The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. He showed that it is almost always from outside a research community that challenges arise. Progress happens when a prevailing scientific consensus is revealed to rest on the loyalties and intellectual affinities of an established research milieu….
The invocation of “conspiracy theory” has become a reflex by which incumbents in many domains seek to arrest criticism. They have had to do a lot of this over the last 10 years, as the internet has broken the knowledge monopolies by which institutional credibility is maintained.

3-2-21 TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Amid concerns about the safety and efficacy of Sinopharm's COVID-19 vaccine, the history of the company's lab in Wuhan has raised suspicions among biowarfare experts, the U.S. government, and the Taiwanese military over whether it continues to serve as a dual-use biological warfare (BW) facility for the People's Liberation Army (PLA). In 1993 and again in 1995, China declared the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products (WIBP), the hub of Sinopharm's COVID-19 vaccine development, to be one of eight dual-use BW research facilities under its "national defensive biological warfare R&D program."
Both the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the WIBP were located in Wuchang District in 2001, and the article listed the WIBP as being affiliated with China's defense establishment….
The article stated that the state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) oversees various defense research and development and industry facilities. A major body of this commission is the China National Biotech Corporation (CNBC), which has an R&D center in Beijing and manufacturing sites associated with a system referred to as the "Institutes of Biological Products" that are located in various cities and include the WIBP.
Below the SASAC is the China National Biotech Group (CNBG), which Shoham said not only engages in vaccine production and research but also "designs, controls, and regulates" large-scale production facilities for its biological warfare program (BWP) for "both defensive and offensive purposes." Among other facilities, the author listed the WIBP as "possessing industrial production capacities" for biological warfare.
A State Department fact sheet released on Jan. 15 pointed out that although the WIV bills itself as a "civilian institution," U.S. intelligence has determined that the lab has collaborated on publications and secret projects with China’s military. It went on to allege that the lab has undertaken "classified research, including laboratory animal experiments," on behalf of the PLA since 2017.

Kunming, at pt. 2 just above is the capital of Yunnan Province, and the bat cave in a mine at Mojiang is south of that provincial capital.
