Can’t be ruled out definitively, but doesn’t provide any reason to think anything out of the ordinary happened either! *No one* here is saying it’s impossible, just that it’s silly to pretend there’s no existing info about what’s probable. https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-inquiry/the-sudden-rise-of-the-coronavirus-lab-leak-theory …pic.twitter.com/8TbYEQyFgZ

“Can’t rule out” is very different than equally likely priors, which seems to be the lab leak supporter’s approach. I can’t rule out that I will win the lottery next year either. Of course you know this and are just trying to exploit the controversy.

When the lottery outcome is millions of deaths, we have to investigate. The odds of SARS2 emerging in Wuhan due to research activities vs the wildlife trade are not so low as to be comparable to winning a lottery. I would put the odds anywhere between 1:100 to 9:1.
