It is clearly an anti-CCP think tank. However the paper should be evaluated on its own merits.
That being said, if you're against injustice and corrupt government, and you have Steven Bannon speak at one of your gatherings...
It calls everything about your organization into question...
> The alternative theory that the virus may have come from a research laboratory is, however, strictly censored on peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Therefore it's unlikely that this paper will be peer-reviewed. And who would be willing to risk their career to go against the consensus (or dogma?) which has already emerged? Certainly if it were peer-reviewed, the only ones willing to do so could only damage its credibility by their status.
It probably is possible to come to a solid conclusion about whether the virus was engineered or not by looking at the genome (I certainly don't have the technical skills to judge this article).
But assuming it was indeed engineered, determining intention (e.g. made to look like it was not engineered, or obfuscating who engineered it) is another level of extraordinary. There would be so many ways to misread the data as evidence of subterfuge, when maybe what you're seeing is just how they routed around technical problems.
