They came up with the concept originally and are co-creators along with Bill Lawrence

That was only the first episode. I like that episode, but the fanbase generally dislikes it.
It's an anthology series though, so you could just skip that episode if she really finds it objectionable.

I'm not an investigator and I don't have their facts or finding, so this is all just an extremely uninformed opinion.
I absolutely think a leak is plausible. But if 96% really is the similarity to the closest lab strain, then I just wanted to put in context how dissimilar that is genetically. I think it's one of those times where 96% sounds really high, but genetically it's pretty divergent imo.
It's still totally possible that it's a leaked strain and maybe the lab just destroyed the records of that strain or something. But taken on its own, 96% isn't that high in this context.

96.2% actually seems massively different to me.
With a genome size of ~30 kb and proofreading ability, that's over 1000 SNPs acquired between a hypothetical leak and the sequencing of the wild-type virus. Omicron has > 30 amino acid mutations, so only ~100 SNPs—a whole order of magnitude lower than the link to a lab strain.
Obviously you can't directly compare a virus to a mammal and the generation times are wildly different, but humans and chimps share about 96% of the genome. 96% similarity means things were phylogenetically related at some point, but I'm skeptical that a direct leak would only be 96% similar.

Reply to comment by NewCanadianMTurker in TIL The Marvel No-Prize is a empty envelope that Marvel awarded fans for "meritorious service to the cause of Marveldom". Typically it was won by submitting an explanation for an error in a comic, but rules varied from author to author. The prize was inspired by George R. R. Martin. by jamescookenotthatone
It was never given it out with contempt. I always interpreted the name as tongue-in-cheek because they weren't sending out an actual prize, so it was the No-Prize.

It's not that hard. I regularly write without using the last letter of the alphabet. It's so easy that it's crazy.
