you were conflating the idea that it was created in a lab with the idea that it was intentionally released. they are different things. now you are trying to weasel out of it.
the lab theory is that they were developing a vaccine and it accidentally escaped. no one is seriously suggesting it was anything else
this website is becoming intolerably smug and disconnected with the wider world. you don't have to buy into mainstream narratives but you need to know what they actually are.
neither fauci nor the CDC have done that, only a former head of the CDC. also nobody is hiding anything, he approved GOF research funding for the Wuhan lab and I'm sure you can pull up public records about this
ask this: why didn't trump push the lab leak theory harder? isn't it weird that he didn't seize on that?
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
so the natural hypothesis requires an intermediate host to make sense, but we don't know what the intermediate host is and have no leads. if only the natural hypothesis is pursued, we will probably never actually know what happened.
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.
please outline the latest version of the natural theory along with evidence, because I am honestly under the impression that it makes way less sense than the lab leak. willing to change my mind.
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 gonna get banned for this but it's really obvious what actually happened and why there is so much handwringing over it. the lab isn't a trump conspiracy, it's the occam's razor explanation. also consider that the "natural origins" theory is racist as well - it requires some chinese person to eat a random wild animal. no one has ever been able to prove there are bats at the wuhan seafood market.
anyway this is totally what happened and I'll die on this hill even if it makes me a lib.
a weakly infectious form of COVID19 was collected and stored in the Wuhan lab (this is a fact)
the CDC, under Trump and headed by Fauci, unbanned funding for gain of function research (making viruses more contagious to create vaccines ahead of time) (this is also a fact)
the wuhan lab used US money approved by Fauci (this is a fact) to perform GOF research (this is highly probable) on the stored virus with the intent of creating a broad spectrum coronavirus vaccine, not a weapon (this is the only reason that makes sense)
it escaped
the reason this is so contentious is that neither China nor the US wants the full truth to come out but if we ignore what actually happened it is going to happen again VERY SOON
edit: this is also the reason fauci always looks so god damned uncomfortable
edit2: this will also never gain traction because the idea that Fauci is personally responsible for the pandemic is way, way too convenient

You better get banned for this, you piece of shit.
