And I still think the lab leak is the most likely source.

What would persuade you otherwise?

I also think it was a lab leak for sars-cov-2. I would be convinced otherwise if they found evidence of its predecessor in animals like they did for sars-cov-1, fairly promptly once they looked. But no - nothing like that and a lot of iffy stuff with the lab.

Look, that virus was ready to spread without any mutations. As if it was packaged to do so.

Not sure why there is pushback on this idea (remember the media buried this as a story), lab leaks are a common occurrence unfortunately.

		And far more viruses spread naturally from animals to humans and far more epidemics have been caused by that. So the logic of “they are a common occurrence” speaks to the opposite conclusion.

I think so, too.

An exotic disease breaks out right on top of a lab where disease cultivation occurs. Then government coverups begin.

Future generations will be amazed that anyone dismissed this very, very strong possibility.

Also— in a few years, when the politicization has faded, we need a comprehensive study on which countries took the right steps at the time. ( How much shutdown was beneficial. )
