An article was published yesterday on Forbes.com that cited a study led by Norwegian virologist Birger Sorensen which found covid19 to contain gene sequences that are artificially inserted.
“The inserted sequences should never have been published. Had it been today, it would never have happened. It was a big mistake the Chinese made. The inserted sequences have a functionality that we describe. We explain why they are essential. But the Chinese pointed to them first”, Sorensen was quoted by neweurop.eu as having said.
When you follow the link for the article today you see that the page is “no longer active.” Links to Forbes.com’s “terms” page and its home page are all that remain. Curiously, the error message is superimposed over another article title that seems to read “Controversial Coronavirus Lab Origin Claims Dismissed by Experts,” in an apparent subtle effort to discredit the Norwegian team’s claims.
Researchers have claimed for months that the covid19 virus appears to contain sequences that are man-made. Such claims have been labeled “misinformation” by mainstream news outlets and/or banned by the major social media platforms.

Update (June 9, 2020 2:35pm)
Forbes.com has removed the superimposed error message. What remains on the page is an article titled “Controversial Coronavirus Lab Origin Claims Dismissed by Experts,” with the following note at the beginning of the article:
“June 8: This article has been substantially updated to reflect criticism of the published study, along with the general scientific consensus on Covid-19. It also clarifies Sørensen’s financial interest in the development of the Biovacc-19 coronavirus vaccine. This context did not appear in the original post.”
