I am not a right winger. Knowing the truth is important in order to prevent future fuckups.Well put. Again, from what I read, most people stack the odds that it is lab created at 33%; 66% natural. But we'll probably never know for sure. The interesting part to me is why it is so important to right wingers that it is lab created?The Wet Market was the evidence. The outbreak near the Wet Market is the evidence. The virus evolved as was expected, by the numbers, trading off virulence for transmissivity. This isn't proof, but it sure the heck is evidence of a natural outbreak.Lack of evidence of natural source is the evidence of lab leak.What is the evidence?There is nothing unusual about lab leaks and accidents. Happens all the time. I heard a few credible second hand (from people in the business) horror stories from the top russian lab dealing with extremely deadly pathogens. I lived near it.That's not the way science works. You are asserting the unusual: that it's not natural. The burden of proof is on you.No, you needed to provide evidence of COVID natural source in the wild.You said I needed to provide evidence zoonotic diseases are common. Now you agree that they are.
No, that's exactly how science work. We have two plausible hypotheses and tried to select best one using evidence. And evidence point toward lab leak. However It's politically inconvenient for top medical circle in the US.
The fact this disease wasn't particularly deadly isn't evidence of lab leak. There was little consensus that the virus was modified after review, which also speaks against a lab leak. Again, not proof, but the evidence for a lab leak isn't strong. And a lab leak (or FOREIGN SOURCE) is old school pandemic paranoia bullshit.

If it was a lab leak, I'm certain China has addressed the issue, seeing how badly it impacted China and its Government.
Dude, that is so vain, you apparently thought that post was about you.

I know you know that I am not a right winger. You are so vain, you think you are the only one who reads this forum.
You would think that. But I think they swept it under the rug, for political reasons.

I know I can be subtle, but Jebus! You are being tone deaf there.
Some levels of local/regional government swept the outbreak under the rug, which is what helped not contain the spread, so as to not cause waves with the higher level government.

A good book to read is Narcissistic Process and Corporate Decay. It explains a kot of reasoning behind leaders decisions when faced with difficult problems leaders are not per see experts in and have to rely on others for guidance. It is not good.

I am sorry I answered your precious question, I shouldn't have done so.
Again, I am very sorry.

For bleep sakes. You quoted a post that wasn't addressed to you that included text that qualified my statement to imply not everyone who had Belief A had Belief B... and then extrapolated/interpolated all of it into some different thing and directed it towards yourself because apparently old school Russians are paranoid think everyone is out to get them.

And I knew that.
Don't you?
Seriously, don't you?
Don't you?
Like, literally for years you have provided Putin talking points (I would have accused you of sucking Putin cock but...you know...forum rules and shit) and yet no one has jumped to your support.
No one.
Everyone knows your country is a cunt.
Everyone.
I used to think the average Russian was just misinformed but the years long Ukraine thread with your posts have proven me otherwise. You lot deserve what you are getting. And I'm fine with that.

No one here maybe.
There is a Russian saying for you - "Millions of flies can't be wrong"
There's another saying - if you attract a million flies you are clearly full of shit.

Are you saying you are attracted to Putin?
Why is he even a subject of discussion here in the thread about COVID?

This is hilariously ironic, coming from Yaroslav Hunka clappers.
