Does this study strongly confirm "De novo" creation?

Are you suggesting that this empirical finding from the researchers of the study does NOT support this claim from Denis Venema:

“…there’s been this absolutely astronomical mutation rate that has produced all these new variants in an incredibly short period of time.”

It does not support a claim made by anyone, anywhere, that there has been an astronomical mutation rate producing all of these new variants. The findings of that paper are entirely consistent with the known mutation rate for humans, which is not astronomically high.
