    scientists have been warning against gain of function research for decades, because it could create an artificial pandemic. trump unbanned gain of function research. the wuhan lab conducted it on coronaviruses.

    anthropogenic climate change has never happened before either, my dude

      I'm not claiming its impossible, but simply stating it is possible is not the same thing as "Occam's Razor".

      You need evidence like documentation showing it was leaked, or evidence that COVID-19 was manipulated in a lab.

        COVID-19 has not been found in the wild outside humans. the closest virus anyone can find was collected in Yunan and stored in Wuhan. that's circumstantial evidence, which I know everyone hates, but it is in fact admissible in court.

        as far as I am aware there is no evidence for the natural theory, circumstantial or otherwise.

          You're wrong of course - as the twitter link quoting tons of studies posted by @iKarli shows.

            I read that entire thing before posting here. Pull out some of the evidence from there and explain it to me.

            hint: you can't, because all this thread actually says is "even if we proved the natural theory lab-leakers wouldn't believe it". she does not present anything convincing, she merely refutes strawmen
