I don't believe that C19 is a bioweapon, or that it was engineered, but I don't understand how @elizabarklay *proves* that it must have gotten to the Wuhan wet market from a bat cave 1000 miles away instead accidentally from a lab studying SARS 280m away?https://www.vox.com/2020/3/4/21156607/how-did-the-coronavirus-get-started-china-wuhan-lab …

I mean, I really have no idea what happened! But this article does not seem to prove its emphatic claim at all? Am I missing something? How can it be proven that this did not stem from a lab animal? And what are the odds that this specific lab was just randomly across the street?

every "debunking" attacks a very weak form of the "accidental release of a pathogen" theory (none mention multiple sars-i leaks!)

unfortunately this is a large enough event now i expect we'll never know -- if it was a leak, evidence probably no longer exists

it may not be likely, but i've yet to see solid argument against "accidental leak of virus studied for treatment/vaccine purposes"

Why would it not be likely? The lab was built after the first SARS outbreak. It's totally plausible that China wanted to do research to prevent the next one.

i'm just hedging my bets here, i don't know enough to say whether a leak or zoonotic transmission is more likely

Why not both? It's not impossible to get scratched by a bat in a lab
