One more time, gain-of-function done in lab is indistinguishable from "naturally" created in nature. And since nothing close enough to COVID was found in the wild nature one has to conclude that it was a lab leak.Gain-of-function research does not necessarily involve heavy gene editing.Correct. Covid dosn't seem to have the hallmarks of a lab engineered virus.
It could be all natural "let's infect this bat with these two rare strains and hope for the worst"
Sure. I'm not disagreeing. I'm not the one making the positive claim. Based on everything that I've seen and read, it seems more likely that it was naturally created, not leaked from a lab. We'll probably never know for sure. But it is Trump that is making the positive claim: it was leaked from a lab in Wuhan. Okay fine, where is the evidence for this?
To claim it was all natural you need to find it in the wild.
