There are no lame personal insults beyond your own hubris getting you caught in the middle of a post-graduate, at least undergraduate, PhD conundrum.

I think it's pretty obvious you don't have the knowledge to actually make a scientific case here. If you did, you'd simply have presented an argument like a reasonable, scientifically literate adult would. Reliance has a PhD in the field I believe and I've got at least undergraduate with honours in biochem/molecular bio. I don't think we are wanting for scientific literacy.

I think you are not only lacking in some empirical evidence, but you're simply unaware of what the scientific community knows about natural origins, either. Like I said, empirical evidence trumps smoke n' mirrors anyday.

Is it safe to say it originated in China?

^^Solid post.

That is why I always laugh at Bodhy and Reliance012, who both claim it is definitely natural origins.

While I do tend to lean towards lab leak, I have made it abundantly clear that there is no conclusive evidence in either direction.

Hysterical. The entire right wing media is running victory laps because this one department said they think itmighthave come from the lab with LOW CONFIDENCE.

Meanwhile the majority of the intelligence agencies disagree.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/27/polit...ins/index.html


And let's not forget why this became politicized. Trump did it when he went to podium one week after the pandemic started and blamed the lab. And every one of you Trumpers jumped on board and have been spewing this crap nonstop.

But now suddenly gwg77 (and all the others) want to pretend theyneverclaimed it came from the lab.... FUKING LOL.

What crack are you smoking? I've always said I lean towards lab leak but acknowledge there is no evidence for either theory.

I don't care what other people on this forum say, I've always maintained that I lean towards lab leak theory, but fully acknowledge that the evidence is not there because China will not cooperate.

I'll retract my accusations of you specifically if you're being honest. My apologies.

That said, the vast majority on this site did exactly as I said. And now the right wing media is doing victory laps, while credible media is reporting the truth - most intelligence agencies either still lean against the lab leak or are undecided.

Apology accepted.

The FBI has moderate confidence. The big deal with the Energy Department is that they were previously undecided and have now seen (so far undisclosed) new evidence which pushes them in the direction of lab leak with low confidence. Eagerly awaiting what this new evidence is, though.

And don't get me wrong, I have made dozens of threads as a proponent of lab leak, but I have always mentioned that there is no evidence in either direction. I push back so hard because I do find it funny how there is no conclusive evidence, yet the left is so adamant and confident that it is natural origins.


Just a couple days ago in my Energy Department thread, I was agreeing with Anachron that there is still no evidence in either direction:

Concerning the left being so adamant and confident that it was a natural origin.. that's because no one knew for sure but the experts were saying it was most likely the natural origin. They deal with this for a living so without evidence to contradict them, why would anyone take the position is was from the lab? Of course when Trump immediately blamed the lab the left instantly pushed back, especially with all the accusations of it being an intentional bioweapon etc. At the time, and even now still, the majority are still leaning toward it not being from the lab, although I doubt we'll ever get definitive proof either way.

The other thing is, what you consider the credible media also completely shut down any conversations of lab leak for over a year, calling anyone who mentioned it a racist conspiracy theorist. So they have been far from truthful in this whole situation, and are now forced to push back the best they can by screeching, "b-b-but it's only low confidence."

Do you think we'll ever get an apology from them for completely shutting down one side of a very valid debate?

I disagree with your assessment. Without proof, anyone who claimed it was a lab leak - contradicting the experts opinions - should have been called out. And even now they're just reminding everyone that what the right wing media is reporting - a total vindication - is again fake news.

Edit: And when I say "credible" news, I mean sources like Reuters and Axios etc. Not Mother Jones or Huffington Post. They're just as bad as the NY Post and Daily Mail.

And there is also FOIA'd email evidence that these expert scientists were coaxed into pushing natural origins by Fauci and Collins very early on (first week of February 2020), before they even had any evidence to make any kind of assertions and were still deliberating between engineered vs natural origins. They definitely were caught pushing a narrative from the get-go to cover their own ass.

Imagine everything people like you believed in the past 3 years.
Knowing the geographic area of where a virus originated from does not equal knowing whether it came from a lab or originated naturally. I believed it could have originated naturally, however I was also very highly skeptical that it originated naturally... essentially, I have no idea whether it originated from a lab or naturally and there is nothing wrong with admitting that. And I don't know why you assume I believed all those things in that article. The only one you will find me saying is that I believe masks work, however the mask mandates didn't. And that's what the article should have stated since they cited the Cochran study. Masks and mask mandates are not the same thing.

That's incorrect, it would not be less than 0

Hint: There are more than 0 genders

And, not only was it the media, but it was the scientific community that was trying to shutdown lab leak very early on - spearheaded by Peter Daszak, who has some of the most incredible conflicts of interests in this whole mess.


Peter Daszak's Lancet letter:
The rapid, open, and transparent sharing of data on this outbreak is now being threatened by rumours and misinformation around its origins. We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin. Scientists from multiple countries have published and analysed genomes of the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2),1and they overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife

See above.
I'm not up to date on the Fauci FOIA emails so I can't comment on that. But three years later the experts and intelligence agencies are still leaning toward the natural origin. But you may be right that in the moment they scrambled to set the narrative before they had enough information/facts.

And if all these accusations against Fauci were remotely credible, why didn't Trump fire him? Makes no sense to me.
