What is the evidence of natural zoonosis? The wet market has already been disproven. Zero serological evidence of prior circulation in Wuhan. Zero serological evidence of anyone in wuhan being infected by batcovs before the Dec. 2019 outbreak...

As
@trvrb pointed out, it happens often and the evidence is very consistent with a zoonotic outbreak driven by one of many potential sources2 replies 0 retweets 8 likes -
What is that evidence, specifically? Lab leaks are common as well.pic.twitter.com/JQ4B2OWJbu

Are they? There have been dozens of zoonotic outbreaks in the last decade alone (likely hundreds, but dozens of ~recorded~ outbreaks), how many lab leaks in that time?

Of course it's serious. How many lab leaks have caused outbreaks of infectious disease since 2010?

Here's one that just happened recently (2019)https://twitter.com/R_H_Ebright/status/1402682647273431042?s=20 …

Richard H. EbrightVerified account @R_H_EbrightReplying to @R_H_Ebright @Nature and 2 othersThe claim is contradicted even by examples of lab-leak-caused epidemic that occurred in same country and same time as emergence of SARS-CoV-2: i.e. Brucellosis epidemic in Lanzhou and Harbin China that started with lab leak in Nov-Dec 2019 and ultimately infected 10,000+ persons.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

So, firstly, there's a very obvious difference between a veterinary institute having an outbreak of brucellosis and a viral leak from a lab. But ignoring that, you're not answering the question - how many have happened in the last decade?

Sounds like you didnt read the story. Why are you focusing on post-2010? History of lab escapes is decades long and undeniably demonstrates that they can cause outbreaks. Dr Baric's UNC lab had sars-infected mice escape. Gottlieb concurs that lab leaks are not uncommon.pic.twitter.com/zY1SZ53ogR

Lol, that's a different story to the one I read but also gives you an idea of how wildly different the scenarios you're imagining are. That's not a lab leak so much as a manufacturing error

I would agree that factories often make mistakes, however these rarely (never?) result in novel pathogens as far as I'm aware
