    I mean, didnt France (was French Academt of Medicine) just recently put out something saying they consider it a lab accident?

    Doesn’t change the fact he’s trying to get mileage he shouldn’t be but I’m curious what the actual consensus on this is, has the wet market angle receded yet?

      I remember that the foot and mouth outbreak in the UK was a lab accident, procedure failed and a lot of bovine were culled and some people died in truly horific ways.

      I don’t understand why it’s so political to say that it’s likely that covid may have had a similar start. It happens, it’s terrible, it’s not helpful when you’re directly fighting it to focus your energy on blame but if this was a lab leak, shouldn’t we now be focused on tightening regulations on bio-experimentaion in order to reduce the risk of this occurring again? Global treaties on how to approach such research, share procedure to keep everyone safe.

        It seems like there literally was an effort to blame it on the commoners and ethnic wet markets in Wuhan, all while its plainly known there’s a high level pathogen research facillity that happens to work with Coronavirii.

        Like, why is everyone so quick to dismiss that second part
