      Well actual scientists don't seem to be falling for the grift en masse yet, so specifically looking at consensus of experts and not journalists with an axe to grind seems promising.

              I mean scientist is unlikely to go into wet market, but sure, it’s inherently disprovable theory

                  Class, but of course it could be there was some scientist hungry for some live animals/wanted to make some observations. Un-disprovable as I’ve said, but the scientist would continue infect at work presumably (as covid infection rate is out of this world), so it would look (I think) differently

          Yeah I can't say I follow that logic either. I thought I was on the other covid news thread of the day tbh. I think that one was much more thorough in giving an argument against the lab leak theory. This in particular is written weird, and is about a study that hasn't gone to peer review yet.
