      That most emerging infections are zoonotic doesn't mean anything. Everyone knows that it could have come from there. But it is only those who lack basic critical thinking skills who don't understand that it can also come from a lab.

      The burden of proof is on those claiming it does come from a lab and they are yet to provide ANY evidence. AND NOTHING has changed from the time of this article:https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/05/scientists-exactly-zero-evidence-covid-19-came-lab …

      This has nothing to do with burden of proof. From the beginning there were those who were conducting bad science and those who were supporting the conducting of bad science, who dismissed the possibility of a lab leak. There is no real evidence to support any possibility.

      Researchers led by Shan-Lu Liu at the Ohio State University say there is “no credible evidence” of genetic engineering (Emerging Microbes & Infections, http://doi.org/dpvw ). virus’s genome is sequenced, if altered, there would be signs of inserted gene sequences. NONE FOUND!

      1) the lab leak hypothesis in no way requires inserted genes, and almost no one who talks about the possibility of a lab leak believes such was done. This is a strawman that is repeatedly done by scientists who deny the possibility of a lab leak (and also often have a COI)

      and is a good reason why people should not trust them - as they are arguing in bad faith. 2) It is actually not true. Baric developed "no-see-ums" and trained Shi.

      FYI COVID-19 is lousy as a bioweapon, yes when wide spread it causes considerable damage but, of no tactical value!

      Replying to @CyHusain @LaVeterinarian and

      Again, this is a strawman. Almost no one who is advocating that the lab leak hypothesis is possible thinks that this is a bioweapon. That is in part because they have actually followed what Shi, Daszak and Baric said about what they were doing in the years before covid.

      What planet are you on? The news and social media are FULL of claims that #SARSCoV2 couldn't possibly have arisen naturally and therefore must have been "engineered," including lots of claims that it's "bioweapon."🙄

      I am on the real planet. Not the planet you have isolated yourself into where there are two sides - yours and a small number of goofs you can make fun on because you avoid where the discussion is taking place. Its the same with all extremists.

      If it were such a "small" number of "goofs," I wouldn't write nearly as much about #LabLeak. It's not. It's a lot. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️
