    Not exactly. Scientists have always conceded that #lableak was *possible.* The problem is, it was never very plausible compared to a natural origin for #SARSCoV2. It tended to be dismissed for other reasons, too.https://twitter.com/Doc_0/status/1399708106989441027 …

    David Gorski, MD, PhD added,

    John Hayward @Doc_0
    The Wuhan lab leak theory was "discredited" by a handful of deeply conflicted scientists with ties to the Wuhan lab. They influenced a media that loathed Trump and all of his officials, handing them a packaged story that became "conventional wisdom" overnight.

        Basically, from the very beginning, the arguments made in favor of #lableak tended to range from appeals to ignorance to risible misunderstandings of molecular biology and evolution to outright conspiracy theories. And nothing has changed.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-origin-of-sars-cov-2-revisited/ …

        Zoonotic transfer has occurred many times and caused a number of pandemics. It just requires nature to be nature and do what it's always done. #lableak, OTOH, requires a massive cover-up by a vast network of scientists, civilians, and government officials.https://massivesci.com/articles/sars-cov-coronavirus-covid19-lab-leak-hypothesis/ …

        Again, #lableak is *possible*. It's just that, based on existing evidence understanding of pandemics, #COVID19, and other coronaviruses, it's just not very *plausible* or likely compared to a natural origin for #SARSCoV2.

        Considering who John Hayward writes for he's no better than Mike Adams of Natural News. 🙄pic.twitter.com/Kl4d9aVxNa

        Pretty sure all these fools also claimed it was man-made and was leaked on purpose.

        It's truly frightening how these people push lies. They do not live in reality.

        That would be wrong no matter how you dice up "not very possible". Baysian or Frequentist shows that more bad crap comes out of labs then from nature. In the same time person as the last 8 potential zoonotic epidemics there have been 31 leaks of known pandemic pathogens.

        "never very plausible" is an opinion, not a FACT ! The problem comes from peoples like you who administer there story !
