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.
