The only people pushing these theories are people like Rush Limbaugh (who doesn't believe second hand smoke is dangerous) and Tom Cotton (who said about trump wanting to buy greenland "It's obviously the right decision for the United States, and anyone who can't see that is blinded by Trump derangement.").
If you want to throw your hat in with these intellectual titans, be my guest.
But there is a more scientifically rigorous take if you are interested: https://www.vox.com/2020/3/4/21156607/how-did-the-coronavirus-get-started-china-wuhan-lab https://www.vox.com/2020/3/4/21156607/how-did-the-coronaviru...
- burfog 7y agoI'd pick them over the Chinese propaganda Vox is pushing. The propaganda doesn't even disprove that the virus was created in the lab. It emphasizes the mere possibility of the virus being fully natural, it pretends that we could reliably recognize a modified virus, and it engages in argumentum ad hominem. I listed an article from the ASM's Journal of Virology, and another from Nature. Both are well-respected, proving that the lab was indeed making these viruses. It is 100% reasonable, given the location of the outbreak, to assume that something escaped the lab. Other explanations are unreasonable. If there were a sudden outbreak of smallpox next to the CDC lab in Atlanta, we wouldn't just shrug it off as a natural occurrence.
