This article should definitely be read as an opinion piece, not objective analysis to conclude the truth. Regardless of his personal views it's his methods that introduce a lot of doubt. The author has previously dismissed large swathes of scientific consensus against his publications as ideologically driven. He takes fringe positions and introduces a lot of selection and confirmation bias to support his opinion. He writes very well and some of the ideas are interesting but they should definitely be weighted up against a more balanced analyses.
As I've already said elsewhere I only interested in an answer to whether this virus has been created artificially. The author are you already said has some "interesting ideas". And the real answer to this question if known has definitely nothing to do with this author's views on racial subjects as he is in no position to answer it accurately in a first place. He just raises concerns.
