Kind of dated, but still relevant. If you go ask AI it'll tell you that the prevailing theory is that the origin was Zoonotic. Aka, natural transmission. Even though there is little evidence of that. And there's plenty of evidence for the Lab Leak theory.
One day we may learn the truth. If a worker at the Wuhan Institute of Virology decides to blow the whistle.
Anhoo, this is a good summary. Because I agree with it...
Key Takeaways:
- The evidence supporting natural spillover has always been thin. Conversely, the evidence pointing to a lab leak has always been compelling.
- China acted pretty much exactly as you would expect from a paranoid communist country trying to cover up a lab leak.
- Supporting with the lab-leak theory was “siding with President Trump” and nothing—not science, honesty, morality, credibility, or public health—was more important.
