      discusses "gain of function" research, in which animal viruses are made transmissible to humans via genetic modification or serial "passage" in ferrets because knowledge, apparently.

      while genetic engineering is unlikely, going to be hard to prove or disprove whether covid-19 originated in lab if it did though, it would shatter the scientific edifice top to bottom.

          I covered the anthrax attack in 2001. Who sent the anthrax? The answer turned out to be the simplest one. The FBI eventually said it was the same guy who had been sending the anthrax all along

          As in "We thank Dr. Bruce Ivins of USAMRIID for supplying the Ames strain used in this experiment" the answer appeared over and over in the scientific acknowledgements from years prior

          Same with CRISPR babies. A big secret. But not really. It was right there in the scientific minutiae

          is the answer about the origins of covid-19 in plain sight too?

          Which is why so many are trying so desperately--in some cases with brazen lies--to dismiss the possibility.

          Unlikely? Or just too many people conveniently ignored the subject and don't want to believe it's possible? It's possible because it's been done before.https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/lab-made-coronavirus-triggers-debate-34502 …

          according to newsweek, the sars-2-cov virus genetic sequence does not betray signs of genetic modification. but that does not rule out the possibility it was adapted to spread via other means, such as passage through different hosts. lab made/released ≠ genetic modification.

          While creating a human being from meat offcuts, tomato ketchup, and bits of string is unlikely, if I had though, it would shatter the scientific edifice top to bottom.pp
