Being a "chimera" doesn't make it not a virus. This states it is a SARSr-CoV, which is to say, a SARS related coronavirus.
This states the RNA in SARS-CoV-2 that encodes for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is engineered (lab created) specifically to infect humans. This also states it is a chimera because this lab created spike protein RNA is attached to the rest of a normal bat SARS related coronavirus RNA in place of the endogenous bat spike protein RNA.
That is the definition of a chimera; a whole unit (in this case a whole viral RNA sequence) derived from separate sources.
This is not making a statement of "not a virus." On the contrary, this is stating that by their estimation, this absolutely is a virus, just not a natural virus. Instead, it is an engineered chimeric virus.
This is not news and has been known (or strongly suspected) for a long time. This is just corroboration that DARPA came to the same conclusion a long time ago.
