What government? what are you fucking on about? I don't give a shit about political games in some hick filled military cult if you're talking about the evil empire.

There is zero evidence sars2 came from a lab, zero. Something being technically possible is not the same as it being likely.

The American government.

Consider reading the article instead of responding without ever reading anything. You just don't want to see the evidence.

Yeah nobody who wrote that article or edited it understands virology and neither do you. This is not evidence.

Yeah sure bro you're a medical expert. You know all about pangolins and bats I'm sure of it.

Idk how to explain epistemology to you. This whole yeah yeah cleavage sites spike protein blah blah you gotta ask. Why were people proposing investigating that? Oh because they were anticipating viruses like that would be highly infectious and could emerge.

Coincidences actually do happen, how many proposed researches into coronaviruses don't match sars 2? Why don't initial cases line up with what we know of where lab workers lived and travelled? why is there no testimony relating to the lab work? scientists have souls you know.

Viruses jump species, novel mutations happen. Everyone was expecting a Coronavirus pandemic and guess what? In a completely predictable fashion we got one.

You can't just put red string between every vaguely cooincidental thing and conclude something. That'll have you going bonkers.

Yeah they just so happened to research a Corona variant in a lab in Wuhan right where the outbreak happened that matched Covid.

And now Fauci is walking back his claims about lab leak being a conspiracy.

But people have bought into his gaslighting so much that even when the person who did the gaslighting starts backtracking they are already fully bought in.
