Good old trustworthy Russia, they have never misinformed anyone!
Having said that, it seems interesting. Thing is, the link is for a 2 h podcast. So I have started but had to step away, will get back to it sometime

He is not a "source" - he is a scientist who analyzed the virus and the historical work done at that lab. They were not saying that this is conclusive proof. But, if you follow the analysis (and my biology studies ended with Biology 10) of the virus structure itself and consider what nature would normally produce, it seems that the likeliest source is the 2012 outbreak in a mine (with bats) in south China that infected 6 miners (killing 2); the Wuhan lab secured that virus in 2013 and has been "playing" around with it since, seeing how it might infect humans, and that the covid strain is possibly one of those "human-infecting" lab variants of that 2012 virus. Now, this is not malicious in any way - just regular bio research and unfortunate security breach. The lab has covered up all references to the 2012 virus and subsequent research, though rather ham-handedly. The conclusion of Weinstein (who is an evolutionary biologist, and happens to specialize in bats) and the Russian was that that on a balance of probabilities, the lab escape was a much likelier source than natural evolution. Again, I have almost zero knowledge of biology, but these guys did a really good job of explaining the information.
