Then they act even more hurt when you point out how they are inadvertently aiding conspiracy theorists their spreading of #COVID19 disinformation by vastly exaggerating the likelihood of #LabLeak relative to a natural origin and thereby making disinformation seem more credible.

Is
#LabLeak possible? Sure.#LabLeakTheory *could* one day be proven. Is it likely that this will happen? No, not particularly, and right now the evidence for a lab origin for#SARSCoV2 is incredibly dodgy.https://twitter.com/KatzOnEarth/status/1400557044403421187 …Show this thread -
I’ll change my mind if anyone produces compelling evidence. Right now, though,
#LabLeakTheory is basically an appeal to ignorance, often based on risibly incompetent molecular biology and genocide. Want to change doubters’ minds? Produce some actual scientific evidence!Show this thread -
I mean, geez, people! Cherry picking Fauci’s emails? This is getting into Climategate territory.

Simple gain of function research and passaging of a natural virus to make it more transmissible should fall into that category and that's a perfectly reasonable thing to consider.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Not based on Fauci emails or any of the other nonsense -it does indeed sound entirely plausible that a lab worker became infected and thus the chain of transmission was inadvertently started. But I defer somewhat to your clinical knowledge if this is simply not possible.

But these are simultaneously possible. A natural virus studied in a lab can escape. Lab leak doesn't mean the virus is engineered.

If so , China would simply have said we found the natural source right away and blame that. Why would they say we don't know the natural source?
