That’s just wild. The one silver lining to T2 is that I’m not shocked by anything anymore. It’s still outrageous, but the surprise is gone.

    By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced

    Ah yes, we’ve already discovered everything. Science is over, everyone, let’s go home.

        The longer it takes to find the lab origin link the higher the probability of zoonotic origin. /s

        The problem with conspiracy theories is they’re non-falsifiable. That something is possible is not evidence that it is probable, that something is probable is not evidence that it happened.

        Maybe a lab had something go wrong. Maybe that was because they were careless. Maybe that’s because Trump withdrew funding and oversight from the programs that helped labs like this. That should all be investigated. There’s a difference between asking for a due diligence after action report and assigning blame because “it had to be someone’s fault.”
