Surely the Chinese communist party would never LIE

Love that "conspiracy theorist" now covers anyone who suggests that a well-known virology lab criticized for studying SARS-like coronaviruses under conditions of weak biosecurity could possibly have something to do with the emergence of a SARS-like coronavirus a few blocks away

Yes! Anyone who claims with certainty that this was the case is on unsound footing. But it is entirely plausible, and the case is frankly enhanced by the CCP's suppression of research into the true origin.

I don't see a good reason to think it's considerably more or less likely than the wet market hypothesis; early media coverage seemed to imply they'd found SARS-CoV-2 in the pangolins, but at my last check that wasn't the case

Intentionally: very, very, very low. Probability of an unintentional release falls within the same order of magnitude as an organic animal-to-human transmission at a wet market, but with foreign journalists and investigators barred it's unlikely we'll know any time soon

another rumor has it that it came from Pirbright. It's a few miles out of Wuhan but still in proximity. (Not the Wuhan BL3 Institute of Virology.) But as with China and WHO, who trusts Bill Gates and Roth's children?pic.twitter.com/wnjNhuTLMj

"a few miles out of Wuhan" nope. It's on the other side of the world, in England. And that's about a completely different coronavirus, IBV (known for infecting chickens)

I'm just curious what evidence there is that there was weak biosecurity? Last time I read about this topic I understood that it was China's only BSL 4 facility.

See https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/how-did-covid-19-begin-its-initial-origin-story-is-shaky/2020/04/02/1475d488-7521-11ea-87da-77a8136c1a6d_story.html … "bat coronaviruses were studied in Wuhan at Biosafety Level 2" in Wuhan branch of the Chinese CDC. Researchers from that facility posted articles about collecting bat coronaviruses from around China, for study to prevent future illness.
