"Science, like journalism, should always follow the trail of evidence to wherever it leads". Fine article on how amateur sleuths have shamed both scientists and journalists by investigating the origin of the virus.https://twitter.com/ianbirrell/status/1381858824424980480 …

Why rubbish? We have explanations given by scientists but no scientific explanations about the origins of this virus. We need empirical evidence for the later and actually there’s none.

I note that "engineered bioweapon" is a much more restrictive category than "laboratory escape". Can you point me towards evidence that it wasn't the latter?

That’s my whole point. The narrative about scientists closing ranks and denying the possibility of lab escape is just fiction. If you read my April 2020 tweet again, you’ll see it says we *can’t* rule that out

The motive--people who are good at crafting speeches and appealing narratives increase their power if they can persuade people to ignore experts. This is especially valuable when either the promoters are ignorant or the facts contradict their agendas.
