- colordrops 5y agoThis isn't a US legal case; it's a scientific inquiry. Either lab leak or zoonosis is plausible, so you can't say one isn't the default until the other is proven. You don't flip a coin and say "heads until proven tails".
- nahnahno 5y agoThis seems like the misuse of impressive sounding words. The hypothesis has nothing to do with US law. It’s a question of whether there is sufficient empirical evidence in support of the prevailing hypothesis, that the virus originated from a market in Wuhan.
- Sunspark 5y agoNo, there isn't especially after 2 years. This does not however mean that in the absence of wet market evidence that the only possible answer is lab leak.
