    Yes it has been debunked. I posted a link. You're just making up a new reality.

    If a Chinese dissident told you the world was flat, you'd believe it.

    How many deadly virus research labs that study bat corona viruses do you think are there in the world? Now do the math as to the odds it would be next to where it just happened to naturally show up.

    That cat in the "lab" looks like he's wearing a bad spacesuit in a "B level" SF flick.

    All the link says is that there are no signs that the virus was engineered, which I happen to agree with. However this fact does not debunk the lab leak hypothesis, since viruses can be engineered without leaving evidence.

    So what makes you an expert in that? You think humans can engineer genetic code to attack cells in new ways? You realize that's never been done before?

    It has clearly been done before. You have no clue what you are talking about. Read the link I posted above.

    I haven't read all of it, but it's fairly compelling so far. I was familiar with the Bat lady angle from a vid Robbie posted.

    The part where they performed these gain of function experiments under lvl2 conditions...Bit hubristic of researchers playing with agents of death while becoming complacent and impatient over higher levels of safety and security.

    Similarly in tech projects, devs always hated security measures, whether for themselves or with their customers because of the extra front loaded time involved to implement or get through. People forget it's there for a reason... It's only worth it when it's too late.

    Bet dem little hybrid rats didn't mask up when they coughed like uncouth country mice.

    Gain of function research. You can evolve viruses to do things. You don't need to edit code.
