Update #2 - I've uploaded a new version of this file [8/13]; the overall count of sources has grown from 598 to 703. I've also added additional tabs.
Update #1 - This is an update of my ongoing compilation of COVID-19 origin investigation sources, taking the total from 520 to 598. This version will finally sport a DOI. I've recopied the explanation of my purpose and my thesis below, but my intent remains to provide a comprehensive, free compilation of worthwhile references & evidence - that I've read, and that I'm currently using in my work as part of DRASTIC's investigation.

'The arc of inquiry bends towards enlightenment'
In addition to addressing the need for broader access to the ongoing scientific debate concerning the origins of COVID-19, my expectation is that the aggregation and sorting of research will support the following hypothesis:
*The actions taken to curtail scientific research into a non-zoonotic emergence hypothesis of the SARS-CoV-2 virus were based on external considerations, not a dispassionate, scientific review of the available evidence.*
Over time, the arc of inquiry bends towards enlightenment - therefore, the volume of research will tend to shift in the direction of the correct answer as discoveries strengthen or weaken a hypothesis. This should be clearly identifiable by a positive correlation between the volume of research directed towards the ultimately correct hypothesis, and a corresponding decline in the intensity of resources devoted towards less likely conclusions.

Furthermore, if that hypothesis is correct, it will provide compelling evidence in support of a larger hypothesis concerning the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The sum of literary & epidemiological evidence will ultimately confirm that SARS-CoV-2 is a product of lab research, rather than zoonotic emergence.
