No Dennis: again, you're putting words in my mouth. I suggest the virus was accidentally released from the lab, not because of a conspiracy (what conspiracy?) but because of the overwhelming evidence suggesting that's the case.

I don't know why you need to smear me instead of just discussing my actual claims.

Your Utah.edu post says it's unlikely the virus came from the lab, but it "can't be ruled out."

I'm suggesting the accidental release from the lab is the most likely explanation - barring any kind of evidence whatsoever. Again, the CCP have not allowed any kind of independent investigation. Maybe there is another explanation besides a wet-market transmission, but no one has asserted one, nor have we seen any proof to suggest it did come from the only wet market coincidentally next to the only lab in china studying this type of virus.

It might be unlikely that a virus escapes a lab. How unlikely? I say it's MORE likely than the coincidence we're all told is for sure the truth, but which now even Chinese scientists are backing away from.

How much trust should we place in the CCP's weather reports, let alone the source of a viral outbreak that could put them on the hook for massive damages?

Out of all the wet markets in China, Asia, Africa and beyond, COVID-19 just HAPPENS to show up in the one miles away from the ONLY viral lab in China studying coronaviruses? The same lab that is known to harvest horseshoe bats?

You're allowed to come to your own conclusions and disagree, but tarring me as a racist, a Trumpite, a Qanon conspiracy theorist is an unnecessary smear. It's a childish insult.
