Conventionally research / papers and such are presented through the New England Journal of Medicine,Lancet,etc. Not Zenote.
The journals I listed vet the material presented to them.They won't just publish anything.A paper of this magnitude would be a huge deal.If legitimate it would garner notice and play in real scientific journals.

SF - the paper referenced in The post by TWK ( author Yan) was published in Zenodo - Sept 14, 2020 -

in their communities -
Communities:
Zenodo is a general-purpose open-access repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program and operated by CERN. It allows researchers to deposit data sets, research software, reports, and any other research related digital artifacts
Why use Zenodo?
- Safe — your research is stored safely for the future in CERN’s Data Centre for as long as CERN exists.
- Trusted — built and operated by CERN and OpenAIRE to ensure that everyone can join in Open Science.
- Citeable — every upload is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), to make them citable and trackable.
- No waiting time — Uploads are made available online as soon as you hit publish, and your DOI is registered within seconds.
- Open or closed — Share e.g. anonymized clinical trial data with only medical professionals via our restricted access mode.
- Versioning — Easily update your dataset with our versioning feature.
- GitHub integration — Easily preserve your GitHub repository in Zenodo.
- Usage statisics — All uploads display standards compliant usage statistics
Zenobo allows researchers to upload current research to the scientific community - it has 19 Covid communities - and many others in different areas of research. It is not a peer reviewed journal - as are Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine - which is a time consuming process and delays publication of current data the researchers wish to share.
Zenobo is a recognized and utilized method of sharing scientific data in many fields.
CERN has a worldwide respected name.
You are correct - and I quote you - it is " not Zenote" - for which i find no references.
This forum (Zenodo) if for early publication of data to the scientific community - and not designed for those not of the scientific community (such as you). And - i guarantee U are not a molecular biologist.
The paper does make interesting allegations that the Wuhan virus is laboratory manufactured.
Please read the abstract herein-
Unusual Features of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification Rather Than Natural Evolution and Delineation of Its Probable Synthetic Route
Yan, Li-Meng; Kang, Shu; Guan, Jie; Hu, Shanchang
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has led to over 910,000 deaths worldwide and unprecedented decimation of the global economy. Despite its tremendous impact, the origin of SARS-CoV-2 has remained mysterious and controversial. The natural origin theory, although widely accepted, lacks substantial support. The alternative theory that the virus may have come from a research laboratory is, however, strictly censored on peer-reviewed scientific journals. Nonetheless, SARS-CoV-2 shows biological characteristics that are inconsistent with a naturally occurring, zoonotic virus. In this report, we describe the genomic, structural, medical, and literature evidence, which, when considered together, strongly contradicts the natural origin theory. The evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 should be a laboratory product created by using bat coronaviruses ZC45 and/or ZXC21 as a template and/or backbone. Building upon the evidence, we further postulate a synthetic route for SARS-CoV-2, demonstrating that the laboratory-creation of this coronavirus is convenient and can be accomplished in approximately six months. Our work emphasizes the need for an independent investigation into the relevant research laboratories. It also argues for a critical look into certain recently published data, which, albeit problematic, was used to support and claim a natural origin of SARS-CoV-2. From a public health perspective, these actions are necessary as knowledge of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 and of how the virus entered the human population are of pivotal importance in the fundamental control of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as in preventing similar, future pandemics.
To reference the Zenobo forum as "not legitimate" exposes your own DPST ignorance of even the forum name - an abject failure to check your facts (C/W the rest of the DPST LSM you parrot) and would make you a scientific laughingstock - if you were a scientist with any credentials - which U R NOT!
The thrust of the article is that research on laboratory origin of the Wuhan virus is 'censored' by peer review journals , and further research is necessary. Does 'censorship" of research of a different than 'mainstream' opinion exist in peer review journals - in someways related to the peer review process - it can effectively exist - There is no Superior peer review agency that coordinates what opinions are 'acceptable' in science - and the peer review process can be lengthy - a problem when current data to address the pandemic is critical. Scientists can be reluctant to change opinions - until overwhelming evidence exists. Witness the Nobel prize given Australian GI doctors ;In 2005, the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm awarded the
Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to
Marshall and
Robin Warren, his long-time collaborator, "for their discovery of the
bacterium Helicobacter pylori and its role in gastritis and peptic ulcer disease" A finding that was very controversial to doctors managing peptic ulcer disease - which was deemed primarily a surgical problem - until the discovery was accepted - and medical management is now the mainstay of treatment.
Zenodo serves a critical function to share very current data - that peer view journals cannot do by the nature of their peer review process.
Plus - the major prestigious journals such a NEJM and Lancet are limited in what they can publish - and the volume of research grows exponentially - due to the number of world wide research efforts, and pressure to 'Publish or perish" in academic careers.
if, per your 'allusion' - the only legitimate research was published only in the few 'prestigious journals" you alluded to - it would stifle worldwide research publication.
There are new journals on new field emerging yearly - to cope with new fields of research endeavor - and publish new knowledge.
how much attention does this paper and its authors deserve - as much as the scientific community will give them. And Yes, Virginia - there are active research efforts on the origin of the wuhan virus underway. Time and research will sort out the issue of the origin of the wuhan virus.
so - SF - please take your ignorant post of the subject - and print it for tacking to your front door - of your latrine. Which is where your opinion belongs.
Me - I had an academic career - i am published in the NEJM, and more than 100 peer reviewed publications in recognized journals , and was a peer reviewer for a major specialty journal.
I know whereof i speak /write on this topic-
And - You do NOT!
i have likely wasted my time writing this rebuttal of your ignorance.
Still - It feels good to point out DPST ignorance and propaganda - and the usual refusal to check facts or references. It would be comical to observe the DPST's - if it were not so tragic that you believe in your own propaganda, lies, and refusal to verify factual information in favor of your own marxist, racist narrative!.
Thank U - for the opportunity to debunk your propaganda and ignorance - SF!
