There's a reason this bit "Additionally, scientists find covid virus contains a DNA sequence patented by Moderna three years before the pandemic began." wasn't in our headline.

See this Twitter thread if interested:
"I went through the paper. It seems like the math calculation of the probability of a certain sequence to appear in the database of sequences is wrong."
