    If you’ve made up your mind that Covid-19 obviously came from a lab leak, or that Covid-19 couldn’t have come from a lab leak, you’re wrong. @zeynep asks all the right questions and looks at the bigger picture. Do read.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/25/opinion/coronavirus-lab.html …

        I like @zeynep a lot and I do not have too many quarrels with the article; China is acting suspiciously and lab accidents happen constantly. But there is one thing: We know with high confidence that the SARS-CoV-2 backbone was not engineered nor designedhttps://medium.com/advances-in-biological-science/explained-the-hard-evidence-why-the-sars-cov-2-genome-was-not-engineered-and-unlikely-leaked-f3d6fbb10ff9 …

        We dont even know where Ebola comes from. And that came 1976. Im not holding my breath for any complete answer about covid-19 anytime soon.

        The thing is, we will never get decisively conclusive evidence either way. This entire debate is about whether the debater needs someone to blame or not.
