I wrote this back in March after the @WHO report was published. As the #LabLeak hypothesis hits headlines again, it offers some context about why it can’t be dismissed out of hand:https://incision.substack.com/p/whos-report-is-it-anyway-the-murky …
And the news report about the intelligence report is, as I wrote, incredibly thin gruel. #LabLeakTheory has also been around since January 2020.https://crooksandliars.com/2021/05/covid-lab-leak-theory-netanyahus-revenge …

As I described in my post, the evidence for
#LabLeakTheory is about as weak as I’ve seen, and there’s no new evidence. It’s *possible*, but nowhere near as likely as a natural origin for#SARSCoV2, and it’s getting attention out of proportion to its probability of being correct. -
I ask again: given the history of lab containment failures, why do you think a lab leak is "highly unlikely" vs a non lab mediated zoonotic spillover, for which evidence is also lacking?
