      Really BOTH left and right? The right with less than 30% of the population and the vast majority of political power?

      Yep, obvious bias on both sides of the issue — largely because of Trump. When Biden was elected journalists and scientists finally began freely speaking their minds. https://twitter.com/MartyMakary/status/1396579850220097538?s=20 …https://twitter.com/AmeshAA/status/1396592275560583170?s=20 …

      So an MD, MPH can't find a credible peer reviewed MEDICAL SCIENCE journal and has to publish his results in a right-wing rag like the WSJ❓ I noticed you failed to comment on the Science sources I provided.

      Both considered men of the left pre-covid. But they have the courage to change with new information and not stay mired in tribal politics. The NYTs, etc. have also published stories. Clear u are not going to let the politics of C19 go. Take care.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/31/opinion/media-lab-leak-theory.html?referringSource=articleShare …

      So now long debunked conspiracy theories are great when they promote anti-Asian hate❓ There is no new evidence suggestive of a lab leak, yet my mentions are full of trolls certain that the virus originated in a lab. EXAMINE what we know for sure and go where the evidence leads

      Most emerging infections are zoonotic in origin. In just the last few decades we've had multiple Ebola spillovers, Nipah, Hendra, SARS and MERS, and many others out there in bats that could jump as well. https://sciencemag.org/news/2017/06/bats-really-do-harbor-more-dangerous-viruses-other-species … And also rodents, livestock, many other reservoirs.

      True, but until an intermediate (and direct) animal host is found the jury is out. Even the Chinese and WHO acknowledge no intermediate host has been found. Regardless, labs across the world need to improve security.https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/opinion/2021/03/22/why-covid-lab-leak-theory-wuhan-shouldnt-dismissed-column/4765985001/ …

      NO animal intermediate found⁉ I doubt we are dealing with an exotic animal that can hide genetic markers. Sequence for SARS-CoV-2: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/ ... Sequence for ZC45: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/ ... Sequence for ZXC21: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/ ...

      I’m agnostic, you are emotionally invested in zoonotic origin, so let’s please wrap this up. NO INTERMEDIATE ANIMAL HOST HAS YET BEEN FOUND —period! Please instead engage Lipsitch, who is both very sharp and on the left.https://twitter.com/mlipsitch/status/1398456461752254464?s=20 …

      But, in fairness, it's just the sort of thing Daleks would do, isn't it?

          I’m not actually so sure. Daleks in my experience are certainly lethal but struggle with thinking sideways and obsessed with purity. Not sure how they’d feel about ‘variants’
