Yeah this is what I was talking about elsewhere in this thread.
But what the article really says is the hypothesis "that the virus was created or modified intentionally in a lab were dismissed by scientists and U.S. intelligence officials."
That does not preclude it from being leaked from a lab. I find it uncomfortable that they are using crafty wording to jump from "it wasn't created in a lab" to the virus never escaping the lab, which are two entirely different claims.
- refurb 5y agoVery common technique to manipulate public opinion. If you want to quash some idea, just take the most extreme example (even if only the fringe believe it) and prove it false (which is easy since you picked the most extreme example). Once you’ve proven it false, then forever refer to any related claim as “already proven false”.
