It was 'debunked' because it didn't amount to a theory at the time.
It was a wild political swing at a manufactured enemy to shift blame from a void of American leadership.
- Natsu 5y agoWell, first, that's not what the word "debunked" even means. Two, there were and are plenty of odd signs, like the furin cleavage site. Yes, that's by no means conclusive, but they say that we should research this instead of coming to hasty conclusions in either direction that are, as you point out, manifestly political.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoA claim that, when being asked "where's your proof," is met with absolute silence if not wild claims without evidence, can be dismissed immediately. Just because a broken clock is right twice a day doesn't mean it's a solid timepiece.
- Natsu 5y agoSure, but this was never one of those things.
- hallway_monitor 5y agoYes, this is the exact storyline that was pushed by the mainstream media. Repeating it doesn't make it true but reinforces the counter argument. There were a lot of clues that it might indeed have originated from a lab but these were selectively ignored, thus it "didn't amount to a theory".
