It would give the Trumpians some smugness as they continue to pretend that masks don't work.
Harvard scientist says Trump hatred motivated experts who denied Wuhan lab leak theory

What you said:
Clearly you think China is "fucking with nature". Either you think it is fucking with nature to collect viruses that are already out there, you know, in nature or you're making an insinuation that China is doing something beyond just studying naturally occurring viruses.
The article you referred to (second hand through some opinion piece) said it is possible that a person studying bats in nature may have been bitten by a covid positive bat. If that is the case then it was not a lab leak.
We currently have no evidence of a lab leak. If that changes and the evidence supports a lab leak, I will follow what the science says. Until then, it is simply people like you and the trump fanatics trying to pretend their conspiracy theories were in any way based in fact.
Have you taken the time to look up the meaning of the word "circumstantial"?
The latter.
If irrefutable evidence came out it escaped from a lab, basically nothing changes except maybe (maybe) we get some insight in how it grows in culture that might be useful.
If irrefutable evidence came out it was engineered, you might get some small change in approach because maybe there is some evidence about how they did it that would be useful.
If irrefutable evidence came out it was engineered and released deliberately as an attack of some kind, then you get blowback on China.
But it remains very unlikely it escaped from a lab at all, and it being engineered or engineered deliberately are even less likely.
That's actually very little circumstantial evidence, especially when compared to the evidence the other way.
1. - indisputable fact that the lab is there. And yes, that can easily be coincidence.
2. - Not strong evidence at all. As you noted, consistent symptoms with common seasonal illness. Hospitals used as common first point of care in China. No indication of testing positive for COVID upon later investigation.
3. China also cleaned up the market, got rid of the animals there, and hindered that investigation, so it's a wash.
The bat viruses are collected from bats that live in very remote, desolate caves where almost no humans tred into (partially because its easy to contract rabies
if you enter those caves without proper protection gear). Thats why if you leave those bats alone its highly unlikely anyone could ever get Covid (or any other virus) from those bats, because nobody dares enter those caves. Thats what I meant with "leave nature the fuck alone".
And we're back Trump Derangement Syndrome. I see he's still living rent free inside your head
Biden also launched an investigation, do you think he's into conspiracy theories as well??
The 3 bullet points I layed out meet the definition of circumstantial evidence
Not true. The 3 workers displayed symptoms consistent with Covid, which was serious breathing issues.
I believe one had to be hooked up to a ventilator.
Symptoms like that are not usually present in a regular flu or common cold
Please show me that report.
"I believe" is insufficient.
I have never heard anything saying they had symptoms that were unique to COVID-19 or strongly implicating COVID-19.
That would be important information.
Congrats. You finally figured out that the guy who potentially got bit by a bat potentially infected with covid happened in the field, not in a lab.
Sadly your bias about China has you trying to pretend that it is fucking with nature for people to go out in nature. Of course Canada does the same thing by continually monitoring infections in natural environments but lets ignore that.
p.s. Another word for circumstantial is coincidence.
Which is why no one ever gets seriously sick from a cold or flu?
What difference does it make if he gets bit in the field, or if he brings the bat back to the lab and gets bit there??
I didnt say that, I said serious lung infection symptoms which require a patient to be hooked up to a ventilator usually are not present with a regular flu or common cold
Because if it is from the wild then it was not leaked from the lab. Is that too hard for you to understand?
Except they are. In case you missed it, a few thousand Canadians die of the flu every year.
If the scientist brought the virus back to the lab to study it, its highly possible it may have been leaked from there.
Why is this so hard for you to understand?? Does chronic TDS interfere with your logical thought process??
They die from the flu, but they normally dont die while hooked up to a ventilator because they cant breathe
LMFAO, where on FOX, AON or wait, NEWSMAX|?
That's it, into the padded room you GO!!!!
