This, by @zeynep, is the best thing I’ve read on the lab leak theory. Because it:
-clearly explains what we do and don’t know
-includes some history of other viruses
-aims at improving public health, not defending Trump nor whining about the mediahttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/25/opinion/coronavirus-lab.html?referringSource=articleShare …

“Absence of evidence” requires context to interpret especially when it’s so obviously deliberate. Posterior and conditional probability is more useful than “in normal times” arguments made post hoc. Induction, implicitly invoked a lot, breaks most for tail risks so not as useful.
