Wuhan and many other labs in China have literally been doing gain of function research on coronavirus for years, and this is common knowledge amongst biomed researchers and this is one of the primary sources of suspicion concerning COVID-19 amongst a lot of researchers in biomed.
What's even crazier though, is that they were literally doing gain of function research that was specifically directed towards studying 'chimeric' SARS-CoV whose ACE2 receptor binding proteins (i.e. the protein that allows SARS to enter cells via the ACE2 receptor) had been modified using genetic inserts taken from the HIV virus. If you don't believe me, then here is the source (note that it is directly from the Chinese researches published in an academic journal):
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18077725/Why is this extremely, extremely surprising and concerning? Anyone who has been following the COVID pandemic closely has probably heard of the fact that SARS-CoV-2 is known to have several "HIV-like" mutations that allow it to more effectively target and enter human ACE2 receptors with much greater efficiency than other coronviridiae.
For example, here is a biotecnika article on the topic:

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3052495/coronavirus-far-more-likely-sars-bond-human-cells-scientists-saySuch mutations could have arose via horizontal transmission from HIV genetic material obtained by the coronavirus in an infected host, but that's extremely, astronomically unlikely, especially when we already have clear evidence that similar research has been going on in China for years.
