So, in other words: which of your core beliefs do you think has the highest likelihood of being wrong? And by wrong, I don’t necessarily mean the exact opposite - just that the truth is significantly different from what you currently believe it to be.

    tying that to the climate changing is kind of loose. unless you’re going to equate the increases of population density in certain areas adding into the already large issues we have in that regard. New and communicable disease diseases tend to come from close interactions with humans and animals, climate change may exacerbate that but over population is what really drives it. additionally, three out of the last five or six pandemics over the last 150 years are believed to have come from lab leaks.

        German intelligence just last week released the report claiming with 95% certainty that Covid came from the lab. There’s been multiple articles in Reuters and sources about it. i’m not gonna go through and get all the research and site sources for the lab leak in the early 70s that came from the Soviets butGoogle around you can find it.

          They’d have to have evidence in either of those two cases that the labs in question ever kept these virus and there is not. One eye witness. One document. I’d also accept research showing that a significant number of the initial cases could be traced to workers at a specific lab. There is nothing like that. It’s pure speculation and the reports you cite admit as much.

          The Republicans in the US House came to the same conclusion as to COVID. They are lying.

          Within one or two decades, the exact family of bats in the exact cave where SARS CoV2 (COVID 19) originated will be irrefutably identified, just as it was with SARS CoV1 in a cave in Yunnan, China. As with both of those two viruses, most of the initial cases were in food handlers in China or people adjacent to food handlers, not in lab workers. The lab leak hypothesis is asinine, based on nothing more than racism.

            It’s not racism any more than me distrusting my government makes me racist against ‘Americans’. It’s more Occam’s razor.

            Pandemic of a virus that starts in the city that has THE LAB that studies that type of virus, in a country whose government where the one thing you can always count on them doing is covering up anything that makes them look bad? It’s either that or a MASSIVE coincidence.

            It makes sense and that’s why people believe it’s possible. I agree some evidence would be nice but considering who runs that country that’s incredibly unlikely.
