you give way too much credit. In hindsight I highly suspect all those doctors in chinese ERs that were dying of "covid" in all likelihood were sent to reeducation camps or flat out executed to keep a lid on things. they would not hvae leaked it next door to the lab if it was a conspiracy.China for sure coming up with a weapon that could disproportionately hurt political enemies while maintaining plausible deniability. So the engineered a virus that hurts fat people with plebslop eating diseases like diabeetus which is an epidemic here.
House Republicans released a memo yesterday regarding the "study" Fauci used to claim COVID def did not come from a lab. Surprise! Seems it is Fauci himself and Francis Collins that tasked the authors of the article to write a paper about how it def did not come from the lab.
That paper, entitled “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” was sent to Fauci for editing in draft form and again for final approval before it was published in Nature Medicine on Feb. 17, 2020.
It was written four days after Fauci, and his NIH boss Francis Collins, held a call with the four authors to discuss reports that COVID-19 may have leaked from the Wuhan lab and “may have been intentionally genetically manipulated”.
The House Oversight subcommittee published emails Sunday in which the paper’s co-author Dr. Kristian Andersen admits Fauci “prompted” him to write the paper with the goal of “disprove” the lab leak theory.
Remember, the little weasel said he didn't know the authors of the article when he first brought it up? Kind of weird, considering he met with them just 8 weejs prior lol. The line from the press conference he first brought up the paper
“So, the paper will be available. I don’t have the authors right now, but we can make it available to you.”

So I think it's pretty clear why this nerd started to act like some health expert all of a sudden...
FBI has held that position. It’s not new. And it’s not consistent with the evidence. And like the ED’s position, it provides absolutely zero reasoning. These decisions could manifest from just about anything, including an impressionable director watching a Fox News segment. This isn’t the movies. The FBI/ED didn’t collect the world’s greatest scientists and hold a secret meeting to guide their decisions. The fact that ED has low confidence tells you all you need to know. There is no damning piece of new evidence.
I find it hilarious that the most extreme government skeptics, now unquestionably swallow up a position held by a government agency for literally no other reason than it aligns with their own narrative. Read through this thread. How many are demanding the FBI immediately release their reasoning and a detailed explanation for their decision? Gee I wonder why.
To say that the scientific literature is lopsided in favor of natural origins would be an understatement.
It was 100% a lab leak. They can't find any animal that it would have come from and they were able to do that with all other viruses quickly (nowadays).
The real question is, did they do it on purpose?
But we're still at the point where the number of departments studying this in the US are 4-2 against the lab leak hypothesis.
This might change in time, but there's nothing like being premature.
I, myself, was obviously premature when I'd thought (incorrectly) that the lab leak hypothesis had been ruled out.
It might be that, tomorrow, or next week, or next year, they find the bat/pangolin/panda bear/space alien that has the exact reservoir they're looking for, and that it flips back again.
Ah yes, the populist right. Home of hard facts and science. Whenever I want to learn the facts on important issues such as global warming, or whether or not the last election was stolen, I turn to the populist right. Lol.Another right wing conspiracy that was true.
like most of them.
where do you find truth? The populist right! We accept all people, all races, all creeds. You are only judged by your actions and your character
I will never, ever believe that covid randomly came from some animal outside the virus lab instead of the lab itself. It’s ludicrous.
It’s an obvious lie and the motivations behind the lie are very clear.
This isn’t a political thing. It’s a common sense thing.
Forming a narrative that “conservatives believe it came from the lab and liberals say it came from an animal” is basically the only way to get anyone on board with the idea that covid wasn’t designed in a lab.
If you made 2+2=4 into a political thing you’d have one side denying and the other agreeing.
Is it still ludicrous if you know that some diseases came directly from infected animals though?
Zoonotic diseases is a very, very large subject, extremely well established, with tons of reading.
If you have that knowledge in your back pocket, how can it possibly seem ludicrous?
Genuine question. I'm not having a go.
If you weren't aware of the full range of zoonotic diseases, it might just blow your mind.
