If Covid-19 Did Start with a Lab Leak, Would We Ever Know?

Post-mortems seem to reveal a lot. Time is an excellent vehicle for carrying the truth.

All this speculation about a lab leak is driven by (a) blatant sinophobia driven by the political right, out of habi t and to shift responsibility. (The Uiguhr genocide is real so go hate China for that,instead) And, (b), the inability of people to understand that it’s not „oh what a coincidence“ that the lab happens to be in that city. It’s a relatively young metropolitan area encroaching on a temperate, humid forest. It’s the closest wild animals and humans mix, anywhere on earth, and has long been known as a rich reservoir for, among others, Coronaviruses.

  1. No animal host has been found. 2. At first appearance virus was very contagious to humans. 3. Wuhan Institute of Virology published research on Bat virus genetically engineered for human lethality before the outbreak. Lab leak hypothesis has more evidence than natural origin hypothesis.

    WIV had Pentagon funding and involvement from American gain-of-function researchers as well so it's hardly a matter of it being solely China's fault.

There are many compelling youtube videos with guest scientists that are finally speaking publicly about this topic. It is also interesting to note that the only U.S. representative from the W.H.O. has a vested interest in their gain-of-function testing of Covid variants and did not push them to gain access to their labs. We basically took their word for it that nothing went wrong. Here is one [1] that includes a member of the WHO talking about this. And these folks are biologists [2] that have had many discussions about this topic. Their podcasts are a little long winded for me, but they dive into the various hypothesis. If you want to delve into the more fringe theories, there is Fauci himself from 2017.
