> but I don't think it was expected to occur a block away Have you actually looked on a map or simply repeating what tabloids say? They aren't close at all it's nearly an hour's walk away. It's entirely conspiratorial, it's the textbook definition of conspiracy, where's the evidence apart from heresay and feelings? Personally think that the US needs something to deflect from its disastrous handling of the pandemic. Plenty of scientists have looked into it, along with investigative reporters, feel free to read: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/04/23/841729646/virus-researchers-cast-doubt-on-theory-of-coronavirus-lab-accident https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/04/23/8417296... https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3079391/bat-virus-bioweapon-what-science-says-about-covid-19-origins https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3079391/bat-... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/31/bat-soup-dodgy-cures-and-diseasology-the-spread-of-coronavirus-bunkum https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/31/bat-soup-dodgy... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/01/29/experts-debunk-fringe-theory-linking-chinas-coronavirus-weapons-research/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/01/29/experts-debu... > Immunologist Vincent Racaniello stated that virus leaking theory "reflect a lack of understanding of the genetic make-up of Sars-CoV-2 and its relationship to the bat virus". He states that the bat virus researched in the institution "would not have been able to infect humans – the human Sars-CoV-2 has additional changes that allows it to infect humans."

It doesn't seem you have read my comments or the paper I cited which has a map. There are 2 labs. The one everyone is accusing is 10km away. The lab that is most likely to have caused the outbreak is a block away.

> the human Sars-CoV-2 has additional changes Ok sure maybe, but then the main question - really the only thing that matters - is still unanswered, how did the human Sars-CoV-2 with additional changes occur, most prominently for the first time, in Wuhan? Where did it come from? Honest question.

  >how did the human Sars-CoV-2 with additional changes occur, most prominently for the first time, in Wuhan? who said it did? This is just a form of anthropic bias. If you have the highest density of scientists and viral experts around Wuhan then the chance that it's first recognised there is simply higher. It's impossible to pinpoint the origin down to the kilometre because we don't even really know who patient 0 is. For all we know this could have spawned in some village and then traveled to the Wuhan market without anyone noticing, until doctors with enough experience did, who are most likely to be close to that facility.
